April Loot Again

April 15, 2009

april_093_01

Just a quick one tonight. Got the above 2 figures today, Haruhi Extravaganza by Max Factory and everyone’s favourite ecchi-hating blonde, Yami by Goodsmile Company. Might coincide the Yami Photo review with the next upcoming part of my Crimson Darkness Fic. By the way, the Yami box is FREAKING HUGE. The picture above is misleading because I spliced the 2 pics together. But in actual fact, Yami’s box is almost twice in volume of the Haruhi box o_O;;

I have one more round of loot coming late this month, but I may not be able to post it because I’ll be out of the country. Was a dry season for a while, as far as loot goes, but when it rains it pours… (and literally too, Sydney has been drenched early this week).

In the meantime, if you guys want to see a couple reviews of these top figures, stop by Persocom-san’s blog. He got them nice and early, unlike me -_-;;

4koma_ace_haruhipoke00_02

Haven’t done a 4Koma in a while, so though I would do one better and do an 8Koma! And today I’ll be reviewing the HG 1:144 00 Raiser Gundam (Combined from the 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser). Read the rest of this entry »


April Loot Wave Continues

April 9, 2009

Yes. When Hobbylink Japan started having 40% discounts on Transformers, I knew it was the time!

loot_april_09_02_01

I haven’t bought Transformers for a while, but it’s actually my first (toy) love. Being a poor 6 year old dependant on parental discretion back in the day, I wasn’t able to get as many Transformers as I would have wanted. Now with plenty of disposable income, I’m just making up for lost time ^_^. Read the rest of this entry »


April Loot Wave Begins

April 6, 2009

I have an absolute ton of stuff coming in this month and the next several months where all my pre-orders kick in ^_^. Can’t wait, but here’s the first shipment … first up is Zange-chan from Kotobukiya:

loot_april_09_01

I dunno, for some reason I’m not really a Nagi fan – I really though she came across as childish and kinda petulent and annoying. On the other hand I really liked Zange-chan cause she seemed kind of insane. Must be my anti-heroine fanboy gene kicking in again.. Read the rest of this entry »


Nendoroid Merissa Seraphy Review

March 24, 2009

I have been wanting this thing for ages. I remember it came out just about when I started to collect figures. Then when I finally decided that I couldn’t resist getting this for any longer, it was sold out!!! RAGGHHH! But now I have my revenge ^_^. Managed to snag this from a restock at Hobby Search, and the result is this absolutely cutesifying Nendoroid Merissa Seraphy review. It may be a bit old, and people have already reviewed her, but had to do it myself as well!

Truth be told, buying this figure pretty much breaks my main rules for anime figurine merchandise. Read the rest of this entry »


Nendoroid Yoko Review

March 15, 2009

Welcome back to another Ace Review ^_^;; Yes, it’s been some time! Anyway today we’ll be looking at probably one of the most favourite female anime char’s since Kanu Uncho – the kawaii Yoko, in Nendoroid form, by Goodsmile Company…

nendo_yoko_01

When Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann first came out (I think in 2006?) I really didn’t think it was my style of anime, at least in the beginning. How wrong I was! This series is now probably up there as one of my all time favourite animes. If you haven’t seen it yet, maybe because you think mecha animes aren’t really your thing, you’re really missing out. I guarantee it. But since you’re here looking at this review, I’m going to assume you’re already a Gurren Lagann fan, so I won’t bother selling the series to you, the reader, anymore.

I’m back! Kind of! And more Loot…

March 10, 2009

Hey all! Sorry for neglecting this website. I mean I haven’t really had much to talk about as I haven’t really bought much of anything (anime related) lately. I’ve just been lurking around here and there. And I haven’t really had the motivation to write anything unfortunately – no real inspiration >_>. Been busy at work since I got back in early Feb. Yes, the work doesn’t go away while you’re on holidays, it just piles up, so that when you get back, it’s sitting there in your inbox full of 800+ emails!

Anyways! My March pre-orders are in, and got quite some nice stuffs! Expect some reviews soon haha …
