Actar's Mega Japan Loot!
With the sudden influx of new year and Christmas loot posts, I was kinda feeling left out... Not any more!!! Back from the Land of the Rising Sun and back in Sweltering Singapore, I have spent about a half hour organizing and arranging my loot.

Overall, I am exceedingly happy with the things that I got and my time in Japan was exceptionally fun! (^o^) Even though I did go to Japan before when I was much, much, younger I didn't manage to fully appreciate it, mostly due to the fact that I hadn't hit puberty.
Here are all my posts on my experiences in Japan on a day by day basis:
Day 1: Aches and Akihabara
Day 2: Akihabara Again and Navigating Nakano
Day 3: My Tokyo Tower in Otome Road
Day 4: Comiket Sucked...
Day 5: Doujin and Cosplay!
Day 6: A Lucky Star New Year
Once again, Akemashte Omedetou Minasan!!! Here's wishing you guys a very happy new year, full of Anime, Manga and Japanese Modern Visual Culture goodness, and of course, tons of money to spend on these goodies! (^o^)

As I did go with my parents, each person can carry up to 30 KG in stuff. The only things that we brought was the Camera, clothes and a laptop. Ton of room left in the two luggage we brought. (^.^)

It's actually a music card like thing that plays a Midi version of Cagayake Girls each time you press the button on the inside.

A lot of incredible loot! :3 Wish I could go to Japan soon and bring home that much loot. ^^
But gotta learn Japanese first so I can read the doujinshi. :P

Indeed, the packaging is really nice, instrument on one side and doll on the other. Not only that, she comes with 3 sets of clothes, Winter, Summer and Home.

It says "mock" up in the whole list... but does this have a purpose? Where/with what was it sold? Huge want, I love cassettes! <3
Video Reviewer of Anime Figures, Mecha and Merch (youtube.com/user/Actar576295)
http://actar.wordpress.com
Sadly, it's not a real cassette, but a music card like thing that plays a Midi version of Cagayake Girls each time you press the button on the inside. It's made by Movic.
I bought it for 1000 yen plus at Animate at Otome Road. There was a 'Don't Say Lazy' one as well.

Holy crap, how did you get all of that home? I brought an empty suitcase with me to Japan, and even then I ended up buying an extra carryon to transport stuff back...
Video Reviewer of Anime Figures, Mecha and Merch (youtube.com/user/Actar576295)
http://actar.wordpress.com
We had two pieces of luggage that contained clothes and necessities. These were placed in cardboard boxes and checked in as extra baggage. All the figures went into the two suitcases.

I believe the touhou character you don't know is Kaenbyou Rin. More info in the link.

Omg so much loot and all of them are really great picks. This is what scares me when I goto Japan on how I'm going to get all my loot back. Did you have to buy or bring extra bags for it all or send it all to your house?
Video Reviewer of Anime Figures, Mecha and Merch (youtube.com/user/Actar576295)
http://actar.wordpress.com
Nope, we packed all the figures into the cases that we brought that initially contained clothes. As I traveled with my parents, we were allowed to carry 90KG of extra baggage total. (^.^) Clothes were placed in cardboard boxes and checked in together with the luggage.

Indeed, the best Asuka figure out there. Hope to complete the set when the RAH Mari is released later this year.

i'm disapointed, you said you was going to triple the loot of our comrade Rin but this isn't even the double of what he brought.

The stuff that I like on that Epic loot of yours is those Autograph K-ON Photos , Lucky Star Washinomiya Shrine Goodies , To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Doujinshis and That Maido Nendoroid there .
Anything interesting... that's what I do.

Really nice loot!!!
Big I can say for 6 days in Japan!!! I think it's bigger than my 9 day trip to Japan loot a year ago...
Where to start on what I want from that loot...oh boy...
ALL OF YOUR NANOHA LOOT!!!!Then I move on to your Lucky Star and K-On! loot and then move to your Touhou loot...I WANT!!!!!!
So much stuff!!!
Video Reviewer of Anime Figures, Mecha and Merch (youtube.com/user/Actar576295)

Thanks for the props!!!
Quite interesting that my loot focused on a number of series only, Nanoha, Touhou, K-On! etc... Recently, I've realised that completed PVC's aren't appealing to me as much as Dolls and Action figures. Perhaps its because of the ability of Action Figures to pose them and the level of detail that Dolls provide.
Wished that there was more Railgun stuff though.

That's a lot of loot - however did you fit it all in suitcases to bring home?
Pretty lucky your parents were so cooperative and understanding, if it were my parents and they saw me buy all that at once, they'd skin me alive...

Nice Loot Actar I saw you managed to get the two K-on Banpresto prize figures did you try to obtain Mio and Ritsu I managed to order all of them was a bit pricey but I love K-on.. From viewing your day by day loots it didn't look no were near as big once you put it together.
Very Jealous of this collection I hope to get something as big as this one day. Oh and the question you may have wrote it somewhere but I haven't seen what is it's total worth in JPY...
Underwriter
Oh I also noticed you gathering quite a few nendoroids now are you going to start collecting them full time or just getting the characters you like.
I would love to see you review some more nendoroids on actar reviews, I'm sure you will be getting the nanoha nendoroids and who wouldn't
