My April 2011 Loot

All the loot, all lined up.

Stuff for my truck! A couple of K-On!! magnets in the shape of awareness ribbons and an OreImo sunshade with a lovely picture of Kirno.

Yes, that's going to attract all kinds of hilarious attention tomorrow morning at work!
...
I can't wait :3

K-On!! AWARENESS!

In before "WASH YOUR TRUCK!" Believe me, this is clean for me.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with these desk mats, but I'm sure I'll find something creative.

Some Hatsune Miku CDs I picked up on eBay!

This "Double Single" has ryo's こっち向いてＢａｂｙ and kz's Yellow, along with Black Rock Shooter and instrumental versions of the first two.
Additionally, It came with a DVD of videos for both, which you can view all over youtube if you spend about five seconds looking.
What I really bought this for are the lovely pictures seen here. I may hang some of them up in my cubicle wall at work to liven up the place a little.

I actually already had this album in MP3 format, but I wanted a hard copy of it because I like it so much.
Heartsnative is the collaborative efforts of MOSAIC.WAV and Kamo Tsuruta with music featuring Hatsune Miku (and sometimes other Vocaloids!)
It came with eight alternate covers and a book with interviews written in some strange moon language.

The back of the inlays contain a surprise!

The third CD, which was the soundtrack to the Project DIVA Arcade game did not come with any special goodies to take pictures of.

Now on to the figures!

First up, we have the BEACH QUEENS Fate Testarossa by Wave.

Like all Nanoha/Fate figures that come in pairs, she comes with both black and white hair ribbons. This one also comes with an alternate torso with her arms in a different positions so that she can hold hands with the Nanoha BEACH QUEENS figure!

He face looks a little strange in this picture. That's probably because she was straining to not fall off of her stand. Seriously, I think she fell about ten times while I was trying to take her picture...

The little circles on the stand pop out, as does the peg that goes into her foot. I'm assuming that's so that you can put two pegs in the same stand if you have both Fate and Nanoha and wanted to display them in the aforementioned "holding hands" pose.

Given that it's Fate figure, a posterior shot is pretty much required.

Next up, we have Fate Testarossa "everyday wear" by Kotobukiya.

This one also comes with both black and white hair ribbons.

Kotobukiya never disappoints. They consistently make a quality product!

This figure looks great at all angles.

I like little details like the fact that her nails are painted. My good friend, Tsukino, has the matching Nanoha figure, which he posted about here:

She is also quite a lovely figure.

This also counts as your posterior shot for this figure. :3

Yes, it has a cast-off skirt. This feature always amuses me.

Saving the best for last, here is the Fate Testarossa Ex-Resinya! by COSPA.

Unlike the other figures, this one did not come with the option to display her wearing white hair ribbons.

This figure is freaking awesome! I'm extremely happy that I got it.
I especially like the way light passes through Bardiche.

Despite my hardest efforts, it is nearly impossible to take a bad picture of this figure.

And I tried very hard! Look at how crooked that is! I was so worried about getting the whole thing in the picture, I didn't notice how tilted my camera was. :/

But like I said, it's really hard to take a bad picture of this figure! I really like this angle.

And here's all of my Nanoha stuff, which is admittedly Fate heavy. I have at least one actual Nanoha figure on pre-order though.
If you've been following many of my posts (BECAUSE I KNOW I MUST HAVE A TREMENDOUS FAN-BASE) you may have noticed that this side of my desk is completely different now. I live in the part of Alabama that got ravaged by a record breaking series of tornadoes last week. Though I didn't lose anything personally, I was without power for about a week. That gave me plenty of spare time to take each of my figures off of my desk, and give them and my desk a thorough dusting. Plus I was able to rearrange everything in anticipation of my incoming Fate bounty!

I hope you enjoyed this post. I know I enjoyed making it. :D
