Japan Loot
Hey there. This is my first post here though I've been lurking for quite a while ><'''
So I just came back from Japan and wanted to upload some pics of the stuff I got. The trip itself was rather fun. I was in Japan for 9 days. 3 days in Nagoya and the rest in Tokyo.
In Nagoya, spent 1 1/2 days doing an animation with students from Trident College. Also got to visit SunSoft and Nippon Ichi.
In Tokyo, visited Yoyogi Animation School and Polygon Pictures. And of course, visited Tokyo Game Show, which was the main part of the trip. Was organized by my school and went with 17 other people. Will post more about my trip if anyone's interested ^^
Anyway, on to the loots.
Got quite a lot of stuff. haha. Was really worried that I wouldn't have enough space in my luggage. Stuffed smaller items like the eveelutions in the spaces in the nendo and figma boxes. Luckily I brought and extra bag so I kept all my dirty clothing and whatnot in there and put all the figure boxes in my main luggage.
Some of my friends bought so much that they had to give some stuff to others to carry as we were only allowed to handcarry items. ><'''
Running out of space for nendo and figma boxes. I prefer to keep all the spare parts in their original box. The Saber Alter figma I managed to get quite cheap, cheaper than the others in fact because it was secondhand. Was the last one on the shelf too. The miku append figma I got from a small shop which was selling all their nendos and figmas at 20-30% off. :D
Decided to get the Stocking nendoroid although I'm not really into those anymore. Was on the verge of getting a Madoka nendo as well but eventually decided not to.
Eeveelutions + little nekobus plushie. The Ghibli museum was really interesting! :3
Small nekoSakura figurine I got from Radio Kaikan. Thinking of repainting her wand.
Also from Radio Kaikan. Apparantly its the rarer version? Didnt know where to place him so just put him here, glancing at the battle going on next door XD
Edward Elric ichiban kuji B prize. Bought this on the very last day so I had to put him in my backpack. Was so afraid that he would get broken but luckily he arrived back home safely. :3 Decided to place my little FMA keychains around the base since their space was taken over by the eveelutions. :)
Tiny sailor moon figures! Been totally excited about Sailor Moon recently, mostly because of the English translation of the manga rerelease + Codename wa Sailor V. Haven't gone down to Kinokuniya to buy them yet though :( Also saw the whole set of Sailor Moon DVDs but didn't have enought money to buy! ;A; (Credit card! Why you no arrive on time!!!! TAT)
And also a Strength figurine. My very first scaled figure. Decided to get it after persuasion from my friends (haha this is why its bad to go shopping with friends XP). I love figurines with more interesting bases, not just a circle of plastic for the character to stand on. Anyway, took the opportunity to buy more figures as my parents would not have let me but such expensive stuff back home. :)
KHR character song albums from Animate. Expensive but OMG been wanting them forever >w< And also the Reborn Colore. Didn't expect it to be so small though. I always thought it was artbook-sized. Oh well. Love Akira Amano-sensei's art, especially the more recent digitally painted ones X3
2 additions to my KHR korner. XD Got the yamamoto figure from a gacha machine. Was sad that my friend managed to get the Hyper Tsuna one after me ;A;. But the she came across a packet of the whole series so she bought that instead and I bought the Hyper Tsuna one from her since she had 2. :3
Bought a school ribbon from a shop selling school uniform-like clothing. My friend bought a red one. Wanted to buy a skirt as well but didn't have enough money. (Once again, why credit card why?!?!? I needed you TAT)
Pasted the sticker used to seal the paper it was wrapped in because it was really cute. Can't be seen clearly in the photo but it as the shop's name "Phantasien" embossed in the middle. Anyone else bought stuff from there before?
A pair of white boots and blue socks for my doll. Will post images of him when I'm done with his face-up ^^ Wanted to find clothes for him too but unfortunately most of the stuff I saw was female clothing ><'''
Well that's all. Hope everyone enjoyed my rambling :3
Will (eventually) post more about my Japan trip, most probably at my blog here.
Umbreon is my fave Eeevee but don't know the first two.
Lovelovelove your Eevee evolutions! <3
It appears that you study in the best place ever.
lol thank you :3
My school organises this trip every year though this was the first year we got to go to Trident college to work with the students there :)
Any info about exhange programs? LOL Too awesome haha
Studying animation so my school only does exchange programs with animation schools. So far I think they have France, China and currently negotiating with Trident college (Japan)? >w<
So sad! We don't have animation schools here in Venezuela as far as I'm concern, but I would really like to get into it someday in the future in a foreign country.
Cool! Go for it! Are you interested in 3D or 2D animation?
Both actually, but 2D Animation has something, so I would rather go for 2D.
From left to right: Glaceon, Leafeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Eevee :3
Edward looks really good! Can't wait to get mine :3 Great loot :D
You ordered this figurine? :)
Yes! I found Ed and Roy some time ago, but I have yet to receive them ^^;
oh hey you're the one who collects all the FMA stuff. X3
haha I love looking at your FMA loot posts. I think I saw a Roy and Al too at the store I was in but I was running out of space and money so I could only get Ed XD
Haha, yeah that's me (apparently!) xDDD; And thanks a lot, it's great to know that someone enjoys those :D
Just out of curiosity (and if you don't mind), how much did Ed cost you? I just want to know how much I overpaid compared to buying it directly in Japan ^^;
He cost me 5980 yen :)
Thanks! Doesn't look like I overpaid too much, at least ^^;
Where did you get these?
Oh those I found in some shop here in Singapore ><
These chess pieces are given out with the CLAMP no kiseki books that were published for their 15th anniversary. Managed to find the taiwanese version of the 1st one for quite cheap >w<
