I found this picture of the Saber dolfie Via Dannychoo.com and Sankaku Complex. I love this dolfie, but way too expensive for me right now, maybe ever... Dolfie collection on anybody elses want list, or may get someday list? I love the details on the dolfie and in the outfits. To find the link to the dolfie go to DannyChoo.com for more details.
Hello again everyone who may stumble across my blog. I know I've been away from the blogosphere for a good 2 weeks or so. The truth is, I really haven't had much to post about lately. Things have been very slow, and the current world economy is eating at my spending budget. I've been on the borderline of canceling orders, which is something I don't like doing. There's been a fair amount of figure delays lately too, and I'm kind of annoyed with it but I guess these things happen. Currently waiting for the release of Rin & Len Kagamine Figmas, and since they should be out real soon I decided I'd take this time to share a trilogy of videos that tells a tragic story that I find very interesting. These are three of my favorite Rin & Len videos. Watch them in order to follow the story, but the first two videos can be played either one first technically.
There are a couple different versions of the videos but I wanted to show some with english lyrics included. Here's a few more videos from the Kagamine twins that I like. I'm excluding one of their biggest songs Kokoro because almost everyone has seen and heard it by now.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and videos. I honestly don't remember where the pictures came from because I have loads of them saved on my computer, but I'd say most likely Piapro or the usual suspect gelbooru. As always click the pictures for higher resolution.
So this isn't my normal type of post for this blog, however I felt it was notably worthy!:D As I stood there and cast my vote yesterday for Obama, I felt a shadow of hope that he was going to take the win home, and that he did by a landslide. I feel a great hope for these next 4 years, and at this moment hope that he can go on for another 4 years!:D I'm tired of war, racism, all that stuff that ends up getting involved in a presidential race for time. I can tell that I am not alone in my opinions. Now let's see the changes made!:D
Nyoro~n! Yesterday Tsuruya-san came for a permanent visit to my collection. She's a minor, but still popular character in the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'm pretty sure almost everyone knows that already but there are some who might not. Well, I tried to shoot her yesterday at the nearest park but I was rushed for time so I didn't get very many pictures. Something about Halloween drawing near and the leaves turning color made me want to take the pictures outside, but I really couldn't get what I was going for. My neighborhood isn't very otaku friendly, or friendly in general really. So nothing spectacular in the way of creativity here, sorry. I might try to do something interesting for a Halloween post though.
Her hair is unique to all the other figma, because it's actually jointed in the back, allowing her (heavy I might add) hair to lift up so you can reach the hole in her back with the stand. There's also a hair piece like Konata's that can be taken out to reveal a hole for the stand to go in her hair. I actually prefer the hair one myself, because of how heavy her hair is, but it's nice to have options. I wish Konata would have been like that also. It looks like Max Factory are getting the hang of making figmas now, she's very well made. Her hands are easier to take out and put in, and since the joints in them are made of ABS as opposed to previous figma, I'm not so worried about snapping them. We'll see in time if it really does help though.
She's got two faces and 10 hands, the normal Haruhi figma hands and two V sign hands, which you see plenty of here. I especially like her fang. I do wish she played a bigger role in the anime, but I guess there's nothing to be done. I also wish they would have figmatised her in maid cosplay form instead of the same old school uniform. I love these figures but that uniform is starting to dominate my collection. Ah yes, and she comes with an even more minor character's head, Emiri Kimidori. I didn't go out and buy a second of any of the Haruhi figmas to compensate for her head either, money is a bit tight these days and I can't justify buying two of anything but limited and hard to acquire figures. So I just used Mikuru's body here.

Sorry for the delay in blogging... Crazy work schedule lately is making me insane... And sorry if these pictures are completely random, just thought you might enjoy some humor a bit.:P Will post a better post hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday when I have more time... for now enjoy the randomness of pictures here.:D Len-Vesper, Miku pics are for you btw!:D Thought you might enjoy them! That is if you haven't already gotten them!:P Alright, until laters everyone!:D...
I've decided I need to stop procrastinating and get back to blogging. I've been trying to figure out just what it is that I want to focus on, and for the most part it's the figures I buy, but I can't do figure reviews and posts all the time, and I don't want everyone thinking I've given up blogging altogether. So I'm going to talk about anime I watch and enjoy between figure reviews.
Anyways today I'll be posting about Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae. It's the third season of the Jigoku Shoujo franchise. It basically revolves around a girl name Enma Ai. I don't like to spoil things if people haven't seen them, so I'll do my best to explain without too much detail. In these series, there is a website that people have been accessing called Jigoku Tsushin or Hell Correspondence, where if you type someone's name that you carry a deep grudge against on the website at the strike of midnight the hell girl will come and take them away to hell. Basically Ai ferries people to hell after "killing" them various ways that usually suit them for the sins they've committed. To anyone watching any of the seasons for the first time you might be put off by the slow pace and repeated scenes like the process in where she explains the contract people go into when they decide they want to send someone to hell. But, about half way through the first and the second season the pace picks up and things get really good, or at least I think they did. She hands people a straw doll, taken form by her servants, who also have unique stories of their own. Throughout the first two seasons you get to witness Ai's story, how she became the hell girl and the stories of how her servants came to be. At first it might seem that it's just single self-contained episodes but things start to piece together slowly. Reoccurring characters and storylines that string together make the ride more interesting, and both the first and second season I believe finished quite nicely. This isn't an anime for everyone, and some might be quite creeped out by it. It's definitely a departure from moe, and if you're a fan of horror or mystery it might catch your interest.
Apparently there is a live-action series of this anime, which I've considered buying after seeing a bit on youtube. Has anyone here watched it? Is it worth getting for a fan like me? Here's a little sample of it in case you haven't heard of it.
And here's the OP from Mitsuganae, the current on-going third season. Song is Tsukihana (月華) by Nana Kitade.
For the first 3 weeks that this anime was out, absolutely no one subbed it. I was disappointed, in fact I was pretty frustrated about it. I looked every day for that entire 3 weeks hoping I'd find a fansub somewhere. Eventually I gave in and watched the raw. Just recently someone finally picked it up, thanks Aero Subs! Now I'm satisfied because this was one of the most anticipated shows of this season to me. Enma Ai figure WANT. Now if they'd stop making fake nendoroids and make a decent figure of Ai in her kimono I'd be even more happy. Real nendo/pvc want. The Alter version I am still considering buying, but I'm still holding out and crossing my fingers for a kimono version. Well I just wanted to share a little bit about this, and just in case you didn't know it was finally being subbed it is!
I know I haven't been that active lately but everything has been going pretty slow lately. I got a couple more manga but other than that not much is going on. So today I updated my Flickr. Previously I only had one folder with some pictures in it I liked. Now I finally got around to uploading my photos that I've taken of my figures. You'll see almost all of the pictures from my previous posts along with a bunch of pictures that I didn't use for my reviews. I've been watching a ton of anime, from this season and also catching up on older ones that I never got around to seeing. I guess I've been procrastinating a lot lately. I've had a few posts written up and then decided not to post them. Anyways, I have 3 more figures coming this month that I'll be reviewing when they do get here, so look forward to that. Halloween is drawing close and it's my favorite holiday here even though it's nothing like it used to be, so I'll probably do something special when it draws closer. From this point on I'll be using Flickr to upload my photos for reviews, so some of the pictures I don't put in my review will be available for viewing there. It's getting late and I need sleep, so I'll finish uploading the pictures tomorrow, but for now you can see what I got up there. Oh yeah, if you have a Flickr account go ahead and add me and I'll add you back.
I found this picture of the Saber dolfie Via Dannychoo.com and Sankaku Complex. I love this dolfie, but way too expensive for me right now, maybe ever...
