Reinforcements!

Posted by Blowfish On November - 28 - 2008

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)

Ive never see a box as boring as this…Well i want to display Nose Art Girl and not the box :D People that keep their figures in the box might be displeased…

I couldnt wait to unpack her and to do that youll have to strip her down to her bare eyes to remove the plastic wrappings.Thankfully she has a really simple castoff mechanic (in contrast to the Shurakis) but that proved to be true only in theory…Shes tight…really tight…There was really,really much force needed to remove her legs from the torso. I was afraid to break her through the whole process.I didnt break anything  but a short time later i failed at her bra…

It was the simplest thing of the whole cast-off-process and i managed to break off one of her loops…I dont think youll notice anything when its glued back on.Theres just one problem: I have no idea what glue to use.Id use regular superglue but i  dont know if itll attack the PVC.I hope someone of my readers can help me out in that matter.

Nose Art Girl has to dispaly her assets openly until ill fix her bra. :D

    Hi dude !
    No problem with super glue. PVC not suffer damage. Preferably one that uses is not too liquid.

    That’s a great excuse for the display, sure you’ll fix it ^^

    Hahahaha, that is just so funny! Oh noes, her bra came undone. I think she’s really pretty. I’ve contemplated about buying her. As for the taking turns with the boxes, I’m inclined to agree that you’re extremely lucky to have picked out all of those good ones. Saber cosplay. Just awesome.

    Hey wie teuer war denn die Süße? Ich hätt die auch gerne, hab aber noch nie bei HLJ bestellt…immer Ebay oder E.
    Mein Freund hat mir zum Gebu die Gatekeeper Alice geschenkt und ich hab gleich ihr Gold-Schwarzes Schwänzchenteil abgebrochen -.- Hätt mich in den Arsch beissen können…eine meiner liebsten Figuren!! Aber billiger Sekundenkleber vom Kik hats wieder gerichtet. Man muss es nur ne Weile stützen.
    War bei meinem Banana Angel auch so. Ist ne gute Thai Kopie, aber der eine Flügel war ab. Da musste auchSekundnekleber ran- das hält sehr gut^^

    I had to use a dab of superglue on Yuki figma’s glasses before thanks to a 4 year old who took interest in her XD if it’s small enough of a piece it shouldn’t do any harm just be super careful to only use a tiny amount. You may want to check with someone more experienced with fixing things though I’m far from an expert. Nice figure, she looks great ^^ The box is dull, but I’m sure it could’ve been worse.

    @mikiwank
    Thanks for the info!too liquid glue would probably mess up the whole bra

    @zenical
    I wonder how you remove the plastic wrapping then?Not all come with them but quite a few do

    @Kazearashi
    They are MINE!! All mine!!

    @GNDynmaes
    Hehe yes it is ^^
    There are still plenty in stock over here.Dont know about the other continents tough

    @Jem
    Im one of those lucky guys out there.My WIN situations outnumber my FAIL ones by far.
    If you are still interested i saw her in HobbySearchs Bargage Bin…So short after her release :/

    @sari_manion
    Die arme Alice :/
    Ich warte ja darauf das meine so Ende des Jahres eintreffen sollte.
    Also das müssten so 40 €uro gewesen sein die über die virtuelle Ladentheke gewandert sind.
    Hobbysearch hat NoseArtGirl sogar gerade im Angebot *hmpf*
    E hatte sie damals übrigens auch in Stock ob das noh immer der Fall ist kann ich leider nicht sagen.

    Werde jetzt die Tage jedenfalls mal eine NotOP am BH durchführen ^^

    @persocom
    My sisters children are the same age and i try my best to hid everything before they arrive ^^
    I dont see any prolems with superglue from the comments so far.
    thanks!

    @ron~ + otakudan
    great!thanks^^

    @gordon

    @Blowfish: Hey, I thought I’d stop by and see how many figures u broke, lol. Actually, even though I always see your username on DC, not sure if I ever visited here before. So while I’ve stopped collecting figures, I’m liking your “Live Traffic Feed”. Nice. ^_^

    Bei Hobbysearch bin ich noch nicht. Sind die gut? Bzw günstig? Was ist denn das mitden Points? Und ist der Versand bei denen akzeptabel?
    NoseArtGirl it ja leider grad wieder ausverkauft bei denen.

    Ja das bei der Alice ist aber auch scheisse, ist passiert als ich ihr Oberteil festgedrückt habe -.-
    Aber das Ding ist genau an nem Übergang abgebrochen, man sieht also nix^^

    Nice acquisitions! Too bad about her bra/bikini… they should package figures with a diagram of all the weak spots ^^; Had to take off Nanael’s outfit to remove the plastic and when putting it back on really thought I was gonna break one of her wings -_- one of the pegs to keep her outfit together is right under her arm and it’s extremely difficult to push back in place

    @phossil
    They are soooo adorable!

    @xJaymanx
    Ive seen your nick over at DC several times as well and didnt visit before.Back that day i just decided to do so^^

    @sari_manion
    Hab da selber auch noch nie bestellt da ich nicht im Besitz einer Kredikarte bin.Mann hört aber generell nur gutes von denen.Die versenden wohl aber nur per EMS sowit ich weiß.
    wenn mann nix sieht ist es ja nur hab so schlimm

    @meronpan
    Thats one of the aspects i hate about castoffs.The need to castoff them atleast once to remove the plastic.It was a fierce fight to get Ryu Meifen dressed again
