Anything else you want to say: Hello I'm Manuel from Chile South America. (sorry for my English because I am Spanish speaking) I'm a fan collector of anime female figures. Also I like to explore new cultures, photography and design, especially the design of environments, is what I dedicate my time and I work on it. In September 2007 I went on holiday to Japan and was very interesting to know the different types of subcultures in tokyo, and how they are concentrated in different neighborhoods of the metropolis. (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Ginza, etc.). It was really rewarding for my life, to know a culture so different to mine, and so similar in some aspects.
And one more thing... Viva Chile!!!
My little office, my Buddy Doraemon and I
The Evangelion Corner
My favorite figure
My buddy Doraemon reading Danny's News
Say Goodbye!!!
Evangelion corner is marvelous!
Ah Naru is gorgeous!Very nice taste! Too bad I misse out on her big time ><
What is that carrot attack figure?first time I ever see it
Great set up around the desk - really like the platform like shelves!
Is Mina Tsukuda from Getsumento Heiki Mina... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getsumento_Heiki_Mina
Thanks!!!
OOhh, thanks! I never even knew that existed until now ^^
Great Room^^
I'm especially jealous of you Swimsuit Ritsuko and GSC Saki>.<
Yes the GSC Saki is gorgeous, but the Yamato's Saki is lovely too but I have leaning problems with her
I only have the Yamato Saki and GSC Ohno, but I REALLy want to get the Yamato Ohno. My Saki does lean forward just a little bit, but I never really noticed until now. It's never given me any problems though.
Mmmmm... I think how to reparate this problem... Is rare this problem with Yamato Company, they make good figures
So clean and shiny. Loved how the table fits with the shelves. Congratz :)
the last photo is so cute! ^O^ nice space :D
I have more pictures of my buddy Doraemon ... I will post it later in figure.Fm
Everything looks so organized and clean.. ^o^
Nice lighting and everything on all of the pictures, adding Doraemon is an excellent idea.. I must say this will surely be featured.. :D
Thanks... Doraemon says: Thanks Dude, it was my idea!!
Lovely setup!
Great!!! Thanks Danny!!! I hope the Kotobukiya Staff think the same thing...
That Doraemon is cute! X3
Thanks I took it in a UFO Catcher in Shinjuku. is articulated
Doraemon says: This is bullshit!! I come from the future!!
Very nice set up, I would like a clear desk too. Being clear, it gives the illusion of spacious look and minimises that dark/shadows in the room.
Very nice clear photos and figures, tidy desk & lovely Doraemon. My brother has a Doraemon plush in graduation clothing which looks fantastic ^^
Clear lighting desk is really comfortable ... is very good to rest the eye and work on the PC long time, functions as light table if you drawings cartoons... And also looks great!!!
Very nice and neat setup you have there. And Naru is indeed a a very nice.
Is really gorgeous this figure!! is my favorite...
There's a similar desk sold here in my country and been planning to get that same thing too in the near future.
Neat setup you got there. Neat and stylish.
Thanks looking for this in the decoration of my all apartment, clean and Stylish... is my work hahahaha!! but i need more money to made it better.
That corner with the desk is really nice.
Seriously awesome setup man. Great photos too, love the one of Rei and Asuka sitting.
Yes I love too, is like a futuristic scene
Nice room/office space, love the glass desk table and discrete glass shelves with figures.
I see you have the (huge) Majikina Mina by GSC, a lovely figure! ^^
Thanks... Yes i love my Mina, I have two... GSC and Toys Planning.
wait wait.. that's Narusegawa Naru from Love Hina right? where you get her? ^^
In Akihabara... 2007, on my trip to Japan... It was really difficult to find it... when I found it. I must say ... a tear ran from my face.
Even if your collection is small, you’ve been blessed with your trip to Japan.
Everything is so neat and steady, even the arrangement of the shelves looks perfect for them. Finally, your Doraemon plush is nice.
Thanks ... Never forget when I walk around Akihabara buying these figures ... I will come back for more ... someday
Wow you have a very nice, clean room!! Thanks for the instruction on how to submit!!! (^^)
Great!!! your welcome... I will take a look to your room... greetings!!!

Yep I'am Mai Hime fan @_@ Greetings

Very nice set-up! What are you using for lighting? I'm converting to a glass-centric design as well so I'm looking for ideas.
I use a normal lamp board with articulated neck like this http://bit.ly/nkWpG aAnchored under the desk... with a warm light bulb like this http://bit.ly/4wiVHY

You have no idea how much I envy you for your trip to japan.
Indeed your room looks really sleek, but you don't seem to have the same problems that I have writing English. hehe.
Thanks for your comment!!! @_@
Saludos a Panama!!! Espero que todo salga bien y estar representando a latinoamerica en el libro Otacool
Ojala que si, te deseo la mejor de las suertes.
Naru really looks cool on that outfit. I am tempted to buy one. I think she is one of "must have" characters in 1/8
You sir have great taste, plus I love how your room is setup too!
Photos are quality and very professional.
You have every figure I want! Great post.
TOTORO!!
He's such an adorable plushie! ^^ Where did you get him? Or did you borrow him from the neighborhood tree? ;D
I bought it in the Ghibli Museum, (Mitaka, Japan - 2007)
Thnks for your comment. ;)

I really like your room, so clean! I love this kind of light, and distribution of the shelves was very good. ^^
Good luck!
