The Nightmare after christmas
Wed 2010/01/06 02:28 JST
I've have been waiting and waiting for this figure to arrive and it was stuck in customs for a while. By the time I got home today, I got the notice from post office. I ran so fast I feel like the wind.
But.... I got this box
This doesn't look that good.....
Banzai for alter packaging!!!!!
nightmare ended in less than 10 minutes, now the good part comes
Fully cast-off-able!!! *drools~~~~~~~*
It is very very difficult to put those back on. It'll take me less than a minute to do so, but it'll take me a lifetime to decide to do so.

MA-I-DO!
First I was like: o_O
Then I was like: ^^"
But then: x3~
Nice catch!
I feel the same (in all 3 stages). I was walking around the box for a few minutes before I had the courage to open it. Now I feel like a million bucks
I guess the box has..
that's a true nightmare
yeah, I can imagine all those sick things it had been through just to end up facing a dude with cutter
Mmm, sexy figure indeed. Don't you just wanna kill those people at customs/post office? It's bad enough to hold figs hostage, they could at least try to be gentle -_-
The Swiss are not gentle at all.... when they charge customs. One box via EMS = 35CHF (CHF close to USD these days) additional fee. I had to pay 77CHF for 2 small boxes(1 figure each, each cost less than 68) from HLJ.
Zomg boobies O_O! xD Love the figure I was going to get myself one as well, but then Yoko nendroid called :D
セクシメイド ＝３
I feared the worst when I saw that mangled box in the entry thumbnail. Glad the packaging did it's job. She's gorgeous =3.
That's a realy beautiful figure. I'm happy for you that it was not damaged considering the box looked like it was deliverd by Ace Ventura.
Hooray for good packaging! Boo for Postal Gorilla Dude.. o.O
Ups!
What a nightmare happened to you man, but thanks God that the figure was safe but I can easily imagine what was on your mind when you went to get your figure.
And BTW, a beautiful new figure for your collection. Congratulations!^^
This figure has been in my wishlist for so long, and she still is. When I saw the condition of the box in the second picture, I thought "NOOOO!!!!!", but glad the figure itself is not damaged. Gongrats for adding her into your collection.
And wow, the customs fee must hurt a lot for figure collectors there o__O
Do you get charged for every box in every shipment?
If the seller enters a lower value by accident like this seller from Taiwan who puts lower than 50 TN, then the customs would just ignore it and no charges on me. But EMS is always 35 CHF per shipment + taxes based on the weight of the box.
When I moved to Switzerland, I sent a box with 15 figures from NY and they charged me 60 for taxes and 35 on customs handling fee. I already declared it as personal belongings shipped by me to me.
Love the sexy stockings and garters. Nothing beats that combo for pure sexiness.
I always wanted this figure your so lucky to get it! It's so hard to find now or really expensive:(. Glad to see that it wasn't damaged at all and great photo shoot of her.
Wow I was feeling it before I scrolled down more. I wouldn't mind if it came like that as long as the inside was fine I would feel relief would really suck for a box collector.
Good thing I'm one of those who takes it out of the box within 5 minutes. I know what you mean, some box collectors would be still having nightmares.
Nice fig. I actually experienced similar accident, and the packaging also saved the fig. Gotta love all that layers of plastics :D
btw, What's this figure called again? I saw it millions of time but can't remember the name :(
It's called Tsuzuri from Lycoris Radiata by Alter/Hobbystock. Somehow the name is Tsuduri on the box and can't find the word Alter anywhere on the box.
'kay, thanks for the info!
