世界一最強のメイド?!　Saber

Posted by meronpan on July 29, 2008

Alter’s Saber maid!  As previously mentioned, it took a lot of patience but I finally got her at a decent price, despite be sold out almost everywhere.  (you can also check that post for a couple box pics if that happens to be your thing ^^;)

Unfortunately the most unimpressive part of the figure is probably her face… ^^; That said, I’m still not terribly familiar with the series, but I do know the art direction has a certain style to the characters’ faces… deviating from it didn’t help the otherwise stunning Saber by Gift… ^^;;

鶴屋 鶴屋　[tsuruya tsuruya]

Posted by meronpan on July 27, 2008

そいじゃ、　ちょろんと　まってね！

Today I present an ebay purchase gone haywire.

Nothing wrong with a little tsuruya love, is there? Well, my biggest problem was that I originally only ordered the Max Factory version -_-;;

Saber gettoーー(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ーー！！！

Posted by meronpan on July 24, 2008

Ah, the beauty of dannychoo.com. Was reading member Rikku’s news item about nendoroids that happened to mention Tokyo Fantasy.

Decided to check it out on the off chance they had Miku Nendoroids still available… no luck, but instead…

!!! at long last!

Delayed?! …怪しい！

Posted by meronpan on July 22, 2008

So the other day I inquired with Kid Nemo about my preorder for narika…

Why hadn’t she shipped yet?

Beating the heat

Posted by meronpan on July 15, 2008

As I quickly plunged into the world of figures, the terrible threat of summer totally caught me by surprise. Thankfully articles such as this one @ Len-Vesper’s blog warned me before anyone was damaged. My room can easily get up to 90(32) degrees on the hot days and I’ve already noticed some parts (like Kanu’s hair) getting pretty bendy…

To combat this…

紅 [Kurenai]

Posted by meronpan on July 10, 2008

So I’m out of batteries for my camera at the moment… … アニメ変化発動！[anime transformation engage!]  Week or so ago I finished Kurenai.  Thoroughly enjoyed it, although to be honest, I’m not particularly critical… doesn’t take much to get a passing grade from me ^^;

A little addendum about my watching habits — I usually watch raws to get the maximum japanese practice out of what I watch… but since I’m not entirely fluent, and since I usually watch while working out… i often end up missing lotsa details. ^^; Specially those explanation scenes… you know… everyone’s sitting down, serious music queues up, serious faces all around… yeah, usually need to rewatch those ^^; *ahem* and that’s why lots of my descriptions may be wrong.

それでは！

A bit about the title, skip this paragraph if you have little patience for ramblings about the Japanese language. 紅 [kurenai] means deep red, or crimson. However, there are two other words you could be hearing: 暮れない [kurenai] – not getting dark, not ending; くれない [kurenai] – not giving. (the latter two are negative forms of verbs)

Someone stop me…

Posted by meronpan on July 9, 2008

Can’t… stop… pre-ordering… orz

It’s always bad when an older figure I’ve been eying gets re-released.  Bad because I always go into, “Oh, maybe I should pick up so-and-so while I’m at it… and her… and her…”  Today it was Alter’s KOS-MOS.  My wallet escaped only after sustaining the following casualties… ^^;
