Flying Pussyfoot

Ive been waiting ages for my HLJ Order to come and it finally arrived yesterday together with my Archonia order!I Me and my brother ordered a pack of Luppy Lucky Star Petit Nendoroids from Archonia.I am really pleased that the delivery took only 2 days and everything arrived in top condition.I recommend Archonia to all European collectors.The price is usually pretty fair and sometimes even the same as the Japanese retail price.

We took turns with picking the boxes and as you can see i was quite lucky.My most wanted were the Kuroi-sensei Nendos and the “secret” Saber Cosplay Konata.Yutaka wont be lonely from now on ^^

Whats in the HLJ box? Check out after the Jump! (now with even more fail)

Its been nearly a year since i started collecting figures and i thought that id write a small post about what i experieneced throughout that year.Ill start of with my very own tower of boxes even tough its not as impressive as Rin`s tower.As you can see Im keeping all my boxes for storage purposes and as backup when Im moving etc…Those are taking up quite alot space in my bedroom,but to make things even worse…

Hah! What a cliffhanger!! The Shocking truth is right after the Jump!

The Poll in my Sidebar showed clearly that alot of people would like to try themselves at a Garagekit but are afraid to mess it up.Theres usually some pretty money involved but these days are your lucky days! GK Shop E2046 has a special promotion running with several kits for 9.90$ and 20% off of all other Garagekits!

Who cares if you mess the kit up if you bought it for 9.90$?

Theres a limited quantity of each kit avaiable and they sell like sliced bread due to the very low price.They Update the List with figures all throughout the day and they also put some of the Out of Stock figures back in stock!Be sure to check the Site several times! I didnt manage to catch the Meg or Saber tough :/

The Promotion runs until November the 22nd

Happy Hunting!

This Friday has to be one of the worst days of my life…I had a toothache since wednesday and had an appointment with my dentist this friday.I already expected that its once again my wisedoomtooth since hes always the one thats bugging me.My dentist told me that its best to yank it out since its such a troublemaker.No problem…He did it.No Pain No regret… just feeling a little funky from the anaesthetic and a swollen cheek.

On my way back home i get a call from my boss on my cellphone and hes telling me that he has to fire me the end of the year because of economical reasons…great…simply great…Im looking like a hamster and will be unemployed on the 1.1.09…Now all that was left was taking care of my mother that couldnt move her arm due to an accident an needed help…

In short: I wont have too much time to post anything lenghty the next few weeks since i have some personal reasons to take care of.Ill try to squat some short posts inbetween but dont expect anything spectacular.

Time to write some application letters !

The last time i visited  my favorite bookstore they had the September 08 Issue of the Dengeki Daioh Magazine on Sale and i was tempted to get it.I usually wouldnt pick up something like this tough since i cant understand a word and can only guess whats going on.I found out a short time later that the Dengeki Daioh serializes alot of Series that im watching right now/Im reading translated and i decided to pick up one issue for fun.Hey after all there are still the extras i can have fun with if it turns out to be boring!

I had to take the Train to Düsseldorf to pick one up and thought why shouldnt i take some pics along the way to show a bit about the Japanese parts of Düsseldorf.

Check out the pictures and some infos after the Jump!

There are many talented figure photographers out there but when someone asks me wich of the countless ones is my absolute favorite theres only one answer: superrats.He has the talent to take a figure and arrange it in a way that you simply cant resist buying the figure.I dont know where hes pulling his ideas from but they always underline the figures beauty resulting in gorgeous aesthetic pictures.I am a person that prefers to hold things in his hand instead of looking at the digital counterpart and i was really pleased to hear that superrats planned to make a Doujin of some of his favorite shots.He completed his Doujin last month and offered it for a limited time,with the doujin spirit in mind,as a softcover book via LuLu.

Ahhh…Its that time of the year…The days get shorter,its getting colder and Id like to stay in my warm cozy bed all day instead of heading out in the bad cold world.One of the greatest things to do while slacking off in your bed, is to spend it reading some beloved Manga.I had a craving taste for some sweet Manga sessions this week and i headed off to Düsseldorf to get a new stash.The world is a gruesome place and the usual places didnt have any of the Manga i intended to buy in stock…I usually buy my Manga on Amazon but i had such a strong urge I coudnt wait that 1 day for delivery.

I ended up with some series i didnt consider to buy (yet) but my hunger had to be satysfied.As you probably noticed there are even some LoveComedy/Harem Mangas among them.Oh Shame…well the Truth is out….^^

I was blackmailed invited by Panther to join the sect worshipping the allmighty pantsu his neat little Otaku group called TeamBlue.Its mostly made up of Singaporeans but some poor souls outside of SG did join aswell.Does anything change?Nope everything stays the same except for some flashy banners that will pop up in my sidebar and advertise some of the other members blog.

Ill get back to the usual tomorrow!

Im in a pinch right now…I wrote about my Preorders in my last post and and how i adore the Creators Labo Rei Ayanami after a Shunya Yamashita Design.I preordered her in an instant when i heard about her re-release since i knew from reviews that Yamato actually did a good job on her.The Dilemma im in is actually James fault for posting his Reviews on several figures from E2046s Gathering line.They are basically already painted Garagekits…There is one thing that bugs me about Yamatos PVC Rei: She doesnt come with the Bandages the Kit comes with (and well she isnt castoff ^^;;;). I always had an Eye on their Gathering Rei but didnt want to cash out that much money.

Well whats Rei without Asuka?It just feels wrong right?Thats why E2046 decided to turn Asuka into a ORI figure that seems to be after another Yamashita Design i didnt know of.They are offering her as a Gathering figure as well…

You know im a total sucker for Yamashita Designs and well i wouldnt mind a castoffable Asuka either…You can check them both out here.Thats some mighty cash they want for both of them but as far as ive seen across the blogosphere the gathering figures are worth every penny.

I wonder if i should cancel my PVC Preorder of Rei and go for both?They restock them in January and i guess id have some sparemoney from chritsmas by then….I have a bad feeling spending that much money tough…

That E2046 is constantly sending me  newsletters with Pics of both of em doesnt help either…

The Creators Labo Rei is the cheaper alternative for sure but it would be stupid if i order the Gathering figures later tough. ARGH! IM IN DESPAIR!
