Misadventure of a Phantastic Chogokin
Perhaps one of the worst delivery delay ever happened to me, my long streak of Otaku Jinx never fail to disappoint me with its frequent appearance ever since many Moons ago… D:
Originally suppose to arrive safely onto my eager hands more than two Moon ago, the forwarding company messed up my package with another of its customer’s, causing a mixed up of delivery: instead of my Chogokin RAcaseal Black ver., I got something else altogether instead!
A brief count on the incident: Pre-ordered some time before AFA12 last Earth cycle at Tamashii Web Store, it doesn’t occur to me that Bandai Premium might refuse my credit card (which it did, as the site doesn’t accept non-Japanese issued CCs) when it was ready to ship!
Panicked and the only alternate paying method being Cash-on-Delivery and Combini (Outta question), I had to search for a deputy/proxy service other than my usual Tenso that offers to pay in my stead using COD, that’s when I found Japan to Door. Never really tried their service before (Eventho I have an account there since forever), I’ve decided to try it out since I’m outta options (And kinda recommended by Danny-san back in 2009 too).
This is when the nightmare started.
The Star of a Phantastic Chogokin
Perhaps my longest backlog yet… ^^;
Actually acquired this beauty from Moons ago and went ahead to snap some piccies the immediate weekend, but laziness and various other external issues prevented my commitment to prepare a review post or sort for this lovely action figure… orz
Released back in just sometime after AFAMY12, Chogokin RAcaseal is one of the better rendition of a chara within the Phantasy Star Online series in figure form… Especially one with good articulations and all!
There are several plamo released before her but them quality aren’t as detailed as this one! :3c Besides, as a plamo you’re required to do the finishing touches and painting yourself…
Puella Magi Aqua Tama-chan
Released in limited quantities during the Home Town Dolls Party Sendai (And After Event) last moon, I’ve eyed with my keen eagle sight upon the Magical Aqua Dress set, immediately registered my entry to the Volks’ notorious lottery system that will allow me to purchase the selected item if I win.
Unfortunately, due to my usual Otaku Jinx active skill, I’ve lost my bid, putting me in the chasm of zetsubou… D:
Doll Meet @ Coob Coffee Club
It’s been a while since Tama-chan accompanies Goshujin-sama to an outing ever since our trip to AFAMY12 a couple of months ago…
To Tama-chan’s surprise, Goshujin-sama actually brought Tama-chan to a meeting or sort of several other local InnovaDDo, allowing Tama-chan to get acquainted with Tama-chan’s brethren… ^~^
我妻頑狐
Tama-chan hasn’t been quite active these past few Moons, due to certain upgrades she’s been slowly getting part-by-part… :3c
Had her undergone a retinal surgery just a few days ago, Tama-chan received an eyeful of boost in her visual department..^_~
もっと、タマちゃんの写真会
It has dawned to me that I’ve neglected the poor kitsune musume for many moons now… 0:
Good thing my laziness failed its die roll, allowing me to have another wonderful yet exhausting morning hours well spent with my Tama-chan…^_~
Double Strike!
Available for PO starting today are a couple of lovely Figmas from very different backgrounds…
Now I’m having a slight dilemma deciding whether to obtain them both or just either one of them… D:
再度、タマちゃんの写真会
Another whole evening dedicated to Tama-chan! :3c
The passing Saturday, Goshujin-sama once again set up a temporary photoshooting studio upon our comfy moe futon, and proceed to ask Tama-chan for a barrage of poses and flashes in Tama-chan’s new apparel, arrived just a week before… >w<
再臨、タマちゃんの写真会
It’s been a while since Tama-chan’s last gravure session… ^_~
Luckily, Goshujin-sama finally took the opportunity to dedicate utmost attention towards Tama-chan the whole yesternoon… 0w0
Days of the Dog
The holy Trinity of Moe Futon welcomes a new recruit to their fluffy ranks…
In the form of a certain huggable Inu hime~!
天使達の綺麗な衣装
To be held on the 24th day and 25th day of this Moon, Volks will release a series of September New Outfit Collection during the Tenshi no Sumika Event.
These lovely dresses will be on sale at all Volks showrooms across Japan, Tenshi no Sumika, Tenshi no Sato, Tenshi no Koromo, as well as available to web order directly on Volks site…
La Kimono dans un mignon Nendo
Coming from the Land of the Rising Sun directly to your cosy residence…
…this little rori will surely take your breath away with her charming smile! ^~^
勇者 • ミーツ • お姫様
Hailed from the recent pseudo-warfare anime Dog Days (Of which many complained of being lack of substance, but then again everyone’s a critique… ^_~), the main couple of the series, Cinque Izumi and Millhiore Firianno Biscotti, will see themselves being made into the wonderfully chibi x kawaii nuigurumi by Gift! :Dc
Not to mention both of them being magnificently hug-able too! XDc
The Third Coming of Cha–I mean–Soniko
The fourth moon of current Earth cycle is a really kame-slow period for Osaka, all thanks to the decision to activate the Noble Phantasm called Unlimited Installment Works several moons ago… orz
Yeah, the lack of figures and PlaMo makes me a dull otaku, reeling in despair… ^^;
Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted…
April 1st, is the birthday of Kinomoto Sakura and Syaoran Li; April 1st, it’s kanji is the surname of Watanuki Kimihiro;
April 1st, the date we all love to hate, as we’re constantly duped, pranked, mami’d, cheated, mindfcuk’d and so on by mischievous friends and loved ones… ^^;
Not even half of the day, many familiar sites I visited have already had their own celebration of this Baka no Hi in the Month of 4! XDc
萌の日
Happy Moe Day!!! ^o^
For the uninitiated, the kanji 萌 is consists of 4 character components that when you read it in the traditional sequence (Up, Down, Right, Left…) you’ll get 十月十日 which essentially means 10th of October!
Incidentally, Moe Day this year is 10.10.10, the triple ten! So you can say today’s the Binary Code Day too as the world of digits is made from 1s and 0s! >o<
I’ll be spending my Moe Day lazing around hunting zombies or anime marathons… ^^; May you have an enjoyable day full of Moe Moe Kyun~! ^w^
On side notes: Finally got my package of Figma Aya and Nenpuchi Bakemonogatari #3! Sweet! Also procured a 3rd party battery pack for my Chibi Lacus in preparation for next month’s AFAX! ^_~ Furthermore, got myself a printed transparent sticker full of anime charas from classics until the latest and stuck it on the display glass of my cabinet! >o<
マスター! 一生付いていきますー!
WARNING! WARNING!! WARNING!!! The following entry contains major spoilers from the game Fate Extra, a dungeon-crawling-Persona-3-esque JRPG for Sony’s PSP mobile console system…
Anyways, I’ve played the game sparingly ever since I got it a couple of moons ago, little by little I progresses thru the storyline as I spent about an hour daily during working lunch time to level up my chara… XDc
You start off controlling a random male student, and you’re given a 4-day time limit to discover what’s wrong with his school by interacting with various familiar and new charas from the Fate universe. Keep in mind this is a parallel world with no relation whatsoever with those from the original Fate/Stay Night… You’ll get to see some comedic moment of Taiga, your home room teacher, right from the start… XDc
An Extra Serving of Fate
Arrived at my semi-permanent base of operations earlier this week, the much anticipated PSP game is now within my grasp! It’s been almost 9 months since I POed the box, it was supposed to be released in March but for some reason the developers postponed it in order to perfect the product.
At least the final outcome is more than satisfying as more freebies are included with the package, eventho my priority is the included Figma… ^^;
Fate Extra Type-Moon Box package contains the limited edition of the Fate Extra game box itself along with an extra in the form of Fact/the Fact.
本日､キミは何色?
PINK!!!!! Of course! XDc Finally a decent action figure of Katsura Hinagiku of Hayate no Gotoku! fame. ^_^
It seems my prayers have been answered, as the Nendoroid Hinagiku, a coloured prototype revealed during Summer WonFes just last week, finally upped for PO just today!
It seems the Nendo version of the ever Tsundere Seitokaichou Hina-chan will sport a semi movable elbow for her arms! 0_0
Lookin’ berry lovely with her normal face plate… <3
It seems she comes with only a few accessories… Here we see a couple of wooden swords – Masamune and Kendo training stick…
Pointy finger is pointy… XDc
She also got her tsun tsun face plate + nekomimi x shippo!!! wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3 <3 <3 <3
Looks like her tail will be able to support her body… She also comes with a new type of stand it seems…
She’ll be retailed for 3,619 yen and will be available in November…
Sisterly Love… Eighteen
Olympian Fey-chan (Olympus FE230) lived a full life offering her service to the Den, and she did so with utmost dedication and responsibility… Now she finally earned her rest, stepping aside to allow the newer generation Chibi Lacus-chan to succeed her…
Otsukaresama Fey-chan~!
Zygnum Warrior
I believe a lot of Gunpla comrades had already tried their hands on this kinda modifications before, so I guess I’ll try it too… ^_^
La Brassiere
It seems my buroggu will be venturing into wider range of hobby collections besides the usual Gundam only related contents, especially with the inclusion of many non Gundam related posts like Figma Hatsune Miku and Azone Horo… :3
Anyways, due to the horrendous look of the stock pantsu worn by Meyrin when she joins our household, I’ve placed an order for a new set of lingerie for her.
For now she’ll have to be contend with wearing nothing under her innershirt and tight fitting skirt… ^^;
The lingerie set is an Azone International’s Basic Selection, its design is identical to that of the pink lace lingerie worn by Lacus…
Altho it is meant to be used on 27cm 1/6 Obitsu type dolls with M size bust, it should be compatible with the lesser 25cm or 23cm of the Obitsu lines as well… Daughters with L size bust however might have problems wearing the lingerie… :3
It’s a wonder that as an Otaku I usually refrain from buying attires for myself, staying away from fashion time to time but when it comes to my daughter’s apparels, I’ll buy anything for them… ^^;
Besides the lingerie set for Meyrin, I didn’t forget to get something for my other girls as well… ^_^ I’ve preordered a trio of the upcoming 1/6 Doll Saddle Stand Black Type 2, also manufactured by Azone International. While I have a couple of stands readily, both of them are of the hips grabber type which is quite obstructive in the eyes during photo sessions with my daughters…
I find saddle types allows much natural poses than hips grabber as you can do more dynamic actions with the supporting platform… BTW, these saddle stands work on many other types as well including 23cm Obitsu, 25cm Obitsu, Licca, Pullip and perhaps Pure Neemo as well…
On side note, am currently managed to complete the jet nose portion of my 1/72 Armoured Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom Plamo last night, still worrying about applying the water slide decals as I’m no good at them, especially when I’ve one of the limited edition Sheryl Nome decals included with my purchase… Preferring dry transfer decal ala Gundam Master Grades here…
Still awaiting the arrival of my Figma Saber Lily which I managed to procure from eBay as well… And the MG Exia at the end of the month…
