Loot Update

A little update on some purchases I made, while a lot are left on my wishlist for now. First off the mailman came by today with a sweet package. Most adorable Nendoroid, Azusa Nakano! From Good Smile Company She makes my second Nendoroid to date, must say I feel she’s better quality than Nanoha. I got her from Otacute, took them a bit of time to have her in stock, but I finally got her.

Nendoroid 104 Nakano Azusa, is the youngest member of  Hokago Tea Time. She plays guitar, and since she appeared had taken away teasing from Mio. Often they will put nekomimi (cat ears) on Azusa, is where she gets her nickname; Azu-nyan. On to the Nendoroid, it’s pretty straight forward and comes with many accessories.

Her guitar, amp and strap.2 pairs of arms, 1 bent leg. Two facial expressions, a cat. Of course her nekomimi band and stand.

GSC did a really good job on the sculpt and paint job. You can move her twintails too easily. Exchanging the arms and faces are easy, though I haven’t quite figured out the leg yet, can never remove the whole leg, don’t want to break it.

I hope to get them all soon, for now I got my favourite Azusa. She’s totally adorable, makes you feel like going “Nyaaaan~”.

Azu-nyan and my cat, hehe, too bad the real cat is had to photograph at the right moment!

On-Order

Next up are my orders, while it’s not many as I wish, there are some quality items. First off, I ordered something I haven’t gotten in a while, I used to have a subscription. Megami vol.123 I ordered, along with Dengeki G’s August 2010, which comes with Tenshi/Kanade Petit Nendoroid. Both of those should be arriving soon, HLJ is doing some inventory, so orders are being processed slowly.

Megami hasn’t caught my attention for a while, but volume 123 did. Quite a few posters I can put up in my room for once, particularly the Black Rock Shooter one. Kanade and Yuri make for good friends, too bad they didn’t have enough time to let their friendship grow. Two posters I really wish to own, though there are some others that are nice. There’s a cute Feito-chan one and a cool HOTD poster aswell. See more here on moe.imouto.org.

Moving onto more Angel Beats! goodies. GSC Nendoroid Petit set 01, as I previously posted here. These are quite inexpensive, and their smaller than the standard nendoroid of course. Since I enjoyed the series so much, I decided to order them. Two sets are already decided, but only the first set is out on preorder. You can see my whole blog post on these sweeties.

Black Rock Shooter and Luka figma, while they were ordered at different times. BRS is coming out soon, and I can’t wait to have her, she really looks amazing quality, especially for a figma. I ordered Luka because I missed out on Miku’s first release, and she’s hard to get now. But I will order her soon, so Luka won’t be alone. BRS is a simple must get, I got GSC’s original version, big fan of her design.

Lastly, my most expensive order, but a must-have for me. Aisaka Taiga China Dress ver. by Wave, Dengeki Hobby exclusive.

I’m aware of my Taiga obsession when it comes to figure collecting, but I have standards. Only get the ones I think look good, and this one looks to be the first anime art based figure to date. Of course, exclusive! That word can anger any figure collector… I gave in and ordered the last one from Nihonju, I got my Shantiti and Ne-jyu from them… So I can trust them to order another exclusive. While I had to pay the complete price + shipping on the spot… I hope she is worth it! She certainly looks it.

Max Factory Misaka Mikoto Limited Figma

Magazine scan showing the popular Misaka Mikoto aka BiriBiri in figma form. Sadly she is only exclusively sold in the PSP limited edition bundle of  the upcoming To Aru Majutsu no Index game. Which will be released later this winter, the bundle with the figma costs ¥9429. The game itself will be a 3D action based genre, more details will be revealed soon. Hard to tell the quality of the figma from the photo, but what a dilemma it is being exclusive. However, I look forward to season 2 of To Aru Majutsu no Index more than this game and figma.

To be released in mid October 2010, Banpresto comes back again with well-made trading figure quality. Also the same month, K-ON! Christmas Plush on chain will be released (90cm tall). Price is unknown for both, from the previews I’m really liking Mugi, Mio and Azusa.
