Just a quick look at one of my not so recent Nendoroid acquisitions. Yep, another Konata ^^; This one is special though. It’s the Comptiq version which was a Comptiq magazine exclusive and thus getting a hold of one is more difficult. They pop up on Ebay every now and then but are always posted at insane prices so I went to Yahoo! Japan Auctions and got one there for a pretty reasonable price ^^. Continue reading
I’ve got a small stack of new artbooks that I’ve been meaning to go through and I picked this one off the top. I wonder if this book really needs an introduction ;). It’s Haruhi and Noizi Ito. One of the most successful anime series combined with a popular, incredibly talented artist ^^. Noizi Ito is also among my favorite artists. Her work never ceases to please me and Haruhi Shugi does not fail to deliver. Continue reading
Got a big box from Anime-Export on Friday which included one of my favorite characters: Hinamori Amu! Continue reading
I’m getting ready for a 17 day trip to Italy in a couple of weeks. Since I plan on taking my Canon 40D and all my lenses, I wanted to have a safe and secure way to transport them. Did some research on camera bags and decided to get the Lowepro Mini Trekker AW. Continue reading
I was finally able to watch one of my most anticipated series of anime seasons past. Toradora kept my attention all the way through with both humorous and emotionally touching storytelling. With an great story and a wide array of strong characters, Toradora is an excellent series that should be on every anime fan’s “To watch” list. Continue reading
Tsukasa Hiiragi, the airheaded twin sister of Kagami, is now up for pre-ordering. This is the 3rd figure in the 1/4 scale Lucky Star set by FREEing. Konata and Kagami ordering has already begun. Konata was scheduled to be released this month but has been delayed until late July.
I personally like Tsukasa’s pose in this figure. Kagami might have looked a bit odd, but Tsukasa is brimming with cuteness ^^. A definite pick for me. She will retail for 12,800 (ouch!). Hobby Search has started reservations for her at 11,581 yen. She will be begin shipping in September. Miyuki will be the next figure in the FREEing’s 1/4 scale set :)
More info and pics at the GSC site.
After watching the Kannagi anime and thoroughly enjoying it, I found myself looking for more of the lovely Nagi-sama. I discovered that there were already a few Nagi figures out and about. Wave, Kotobukiya, and FREEing all had their own Nagi figures available and an additional Clayz version is out later this month. Sadly, these Nagi figures all seemed to have something slightly off with them but I thought the FREEing version was the most appealing and I decided to place an order for her. Continue reading
OK, I said I was going to get a telephoto lens next but the more I looked at the Canon 100mm Macro lens, the more I wanted it ^^; Well, technically it is a telephoto lens but not the type I originally had in mind ^^ Continue reading
