Heh heh heh.... Some stuff that I have been waiting ages for finally arrived! The official final loot of the year before my trip to Japan.

First off, let me apologise for the crappy pictures. My Nikon's been all packed up for my trip and I only have my Digital Camera on hand. (^.^)

Loot today is brought to you by Goody-Japan, an AMAZING proxy service.

...and the figure I'm most excited to receive is one of everyone's favorite Biri Biri!!! from the Anime To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. The figure is a mail order exclusive and features Misaka sporting an absolutely delicious pose and expression in her school mizugi.

Here's the art the figure is based on. It's 1/8 scale by Kotobukiya.

Best figure of Mikoto EVER. So accurate and well sculpted. Pose is again, delicious. A MUST HAVE for Biri Biri fans. Still waiting for Alter or GSC to pull off a Misaka figure in an epic battle pose.

Being a proxy service, imagine my surprise when they offered to mail order Misaka for me. Of course, I had to pay for the magazine as well, but it's well worth it. It's the 200th issue of Dengeki Diaoh and even comes with a lovely t-shirt of Misaka and Kuroko that I can't wear... (TT.TT)

> Img ID#39373 | New tab | Mouseover = load notes.

Last but not least, is a Brand New Megahouse's 1/6 scale Kallen that I managed to win on Yahoo! Auctions Japan for less than her original retail price. SCORE!

Overall, a great Christmas loot and a perfect way to start off my Japan trip. (^.^)

Will be leaving for the Airport in literally hours as of writing this post. Here's my rough plan that I came up with hours ago:

Trip Plans:

27: Akihabara, Tokyo Tower
28: Shinjiku, Nanako Broadway
29: Ikebukuro, Ueno
30: Budokan, Akihabara, Asakusa
31: Comiket!!!
1: Saitama Lucky Star Sightseeing
2: Akihabara and home!

While I won't be blogging in Japan like some bloggers, I will definitely chronicle my trip with a ton of photos, videos and of course, LOOT!

    Wow, didn't know about that Biri Biri figure. WAY better then the other one that was out earlier. Expression is much closer to what I was hoping for in a Misaka figure. Congrats.

      Indeed, it's such a pity that this figure was an exclusive as it is really the best figure of Misaka out there as of now. Wish I could have done it more justice, but as stated, my camera's been packed away.

      Will be leaving for the Airport in about 1.5 hours. (^.^)

    Very awesome box 'O loveliness there. I also use Goody-Japan for any exclusive or other such thing I can't get otherwise. I second your recommendation. Enjoy Japan ^^
