Accumulated haul ….

I have been at Yahoo Japan again accumulating a nice variety of stuff over the past month, finally requesting all of said loot to be shipped to me as I cleared some room for it.
- Beat Blades Haruka- Volks- Narika Figure
- Blythe- Takara- All Gold in One
- Blythe- Takara- Love Mission
- Blythe- Takara- Rosie Red

- Fate / Stay Night- Alter- Illya Swimsuit Figure
- Fate / Zero- Saber and Illya Wonderfest Figures
- Final Fantasy VII- Squaresoft- Sephiroth Statue
- Gundam 00- Banpresto- Wang Liu Mei Figure
- Moe-tan- Kotobukiya- Ink Nijihara TV. color version
- Rozen Maiden- Animage- Shinku doll

Commentary- Beat Blades Haruka was purchased because I have a friend who owns it and after seeing it in person I had to have it plus it’s freaking huge compared to the Kotobukiya 1/8th (I imagine it will be huge next to the Alter one too.. once it arrives as I neglected to buy the Koto release ^^;).

All three of the blythes were purchased because I wanted a blythe with black hair, I bought Love Mission first but then a Goldie popped up a fantastic price and then I fell in love with Rosie Red so I bought her too. I might end up selling Love Mission as I feel I kind of settled on her and I only really need two blythes with black hair (well I only really need one but I am not willing to give up Rosie Red or Goldie without a fight).

The Fate / Zero two pack was purchased because I love Illya.. that’s basically the only reason why . I also bought the Fate/Stay Night Illya swimsuit figure for this reason. I had previously purchased her along with a few other figures from a shop overseas but the package somehow never arrived ^^; I think the post most of swallowed her whole.

I bought the Sephiroth statue because I am currently playing through Crisis Core and it struck me that I did not have enough figures of him (he being one of the extremely few males I will actually buy multiple figures of).

I bought Wang Liu Mei because I always regretted not preordering her. She is one of my favorite Gundam 00 characters.

I almost have enough Moe-tan figures to fill a small shelf.. almost so I decided to buy this one to kind of justify giving Moe-tan it’s own shelf ^^; plus she was quite cheap despite the fact that she is extremely cute.

I am a huge Rozen Maiden fan, I previously got the Suigintou that matched this Shinku for my birthday. I finally won one at the price I wanted after losing three auctions for her ^^;

I am paying roughly $500 all told for this package which may seem high until you put into context that the All Gold in One blythe has been known to go for over that amount all by herself.

Lots of little updates..

Doll Stuff
- Bought a J-doll last night for $20 plus shipping, the only catch is she lacks arms but she is on the same type of body as a pullip so I have plenty of replacements on hand.

- I am acquiring a dollfie dream head (will buy a body at my leisure) and have decided to do the most epic three way custom ever involving said DD, a dal and a pullip on a 25cm obitsu. Now this will take me a while to put together but the DD will be Chii, the dal Kotoko (note: the frowny face) and the pullip Sumomo. I already have someone commissioned to make me external audio receptors. I am hoping this will remove my need for the Super Dollfie Chii.

- I have four blythes in the mail at the moment ^^; Ashletina is coming from HLJ. Then I decided I need a black haired blythe… somehow I ended up buying three: All Gold in One, Love Mission and Rosie Red. I am not 100% sure I will keep all three of them.

- Another doll meet this week. I am going to learn how to make doll kimonos among other things

and so this isn’t all text here is my rainbow of Papins.

Fate Stay/ Night

My Fate Stay/ Night collection recently moved and re-formed itself. I have a few other figures that aren’t pictured as well as a Saber plush that was a Wonder Festival exclusive from a few years ago (plus a ton of gashapon). Unfortunately it moved into the hallway that does not get any natural light so the lighting is a tad off in this photo.

I feel I need a few more Sakura and Rin figures as well as the swimsuit Illya but I am pretty happy with my collection at the moment.

Saber

Finally bought the Clayz Saber. I do love her outfit without the armor, it is very elegant but the way I have heard people rave about this figure I thought it would be the best Saber ever.

Some of the paint details are a little sloppy.

Her face seems to lack a certain depth to it.

I really do like her as a figure overall but I really don’t feel like this is the best Saber ever not even my favorite Saber that distinction belongs to *numnum* Saber as that figure brings a consistent smile to my face.

More new stuff

Apparently I had more packages >_<

*num num*

I acquired a Wonder Festival exclusive Saber recently, I had not meant to acquire this figure as the very idea of this figure always seemed pretty ludicrous to me but low and behold she came anyways. I must say she is growing on me and I like her a lot more than I expected.

I love the fact that she is actually visibly chewing on the burger on the one side of her mouth- she looks like a chipmunk.

The non-descriptive bag she holds looks suspiciously like a McDonald’s bag hmm…

Such a mixture of cute and evil.

I think I still prefer the normal release over the limited release, limited is still cute though.

Small haul

I was so excited when the office called and they told me there was packages unfortunately it was neither of the ones I really wanted (Adorable Aubrey, Mondie).

Recent Developments

Been attacking Yahoo Japan again buying up an interesting combination of figures…

Evangelion- Rei & Asuka- Volks- Customa P Figures- Found the two pack of them cheap and had been wanting them for quite a while

Fate Stay/Night- Rin- Clayz- I was forced to expand my fate display space so I now I have room for some fate figures I wanted but didn’t have the room for.

Fate Stay/Night- Saber- Alter Wonderfest Exclusive- Now this one is kind of funny because I was looking for it for someone else of course I made the mistake of deciding I needed a drink at that moment.. When I got back with my beverage in hand I had curiously won with the BIN, I was perplexed until I hear from across the room “great find” ::is still slightly annoyed:: .

Edit: Last figure was canceled by the seller as he does not like to work with international agencies *grumbles to self*

Presents= Win

So yesterday was my birthday…

Very happy with the birthday haul, I have a couple of other things still making their way through the post as well including my Trigger Heart Exelica Nendoroid/game and a couple of other things. I feel horrible, I stayed home all morning for a specific package from a friend of mine and my mailman never rang the bell, eventually when I checked the mail I seen a sorry we missed you slip and I was pissed.

I was really touched by an unexpected gesture from a friend of mine dark_skada, apparently she and a few of my other doll collecting friends came together and made this. Seeing that really made my day.

Yay for new stuff

It’s never a good sign when your mailman needs help from the UPS man to bring in your packages…
