Danny Choo @ SOAS

I was sitting here to begin with, but moved before the talk started 🙂

Last night, as many of you may know, Danny Choo gave a talk on creative industries in Japan, at SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies, (where he got his degree in Japanese 🙂 ) And, as many of you may know, I got to go! lol. I will try and keep the fangirly flailing to a minimum ^_^; but this was pretty much on the same level as meeting Misha Collins/seeing David Tennant live. Danny has had such a big impact on my life, consciously or otherwise lol. I still blame him for me wanting to buy loads of figures hehe. And Dannychoo.com is where I first found Chie Yoshioka too… my wallet still cries for its lost brethren… so much lost… but so much gained 😀 (More pics n stuff below the cut.)

Dekimashita!!! + Fake Eyes & More

Today is a good day. A very good day. I fixed my laptop. I had to partially factory restore it from a HD partition, sure, but I did it, after hours of faffing and looking for other solutions. But it was the only way that I could ever move files from one folder to another again… and all because I saved a stupid game in the program files folder and not a folder of its own….

Very cute, but kinda evil, Vista-tan. Perfect for Vista really. Beware, 4.8mb in size. Just warning ya's.

 Much more below the cut. Sherlock Holmes. Fake eyes. Underwear. You name it lol.

My Quest for Mabel + Dr Horrible

Some of you may remember, my post about Mabel in early Febuary, but as a reminder, heres a pic.

The pic of course comes from the Leeke World site. (Need to get some red/brown eyes for her, you get random acrylic eyes when you buy her.)

Dollfie (of my) Dreams & 200th post

Before I start on about dollfies and such, I’ll just say this :woot: 200 posts!

And onto to the dollfieness! Since 2006, when I saw them in Japanorama, I’ve wanted a BJD. I’ve always been horrified by the prices. BUT, now, I’m gonna put that behind me. All of the dollfie stuff on DannyChoo has been encouraging my dollfie wants… And I’ve got a friend who was doing it too…. Kept sending me links to various sites I could buy them… started out with british sites and I ended up on LeeKeWorld. (They do ship to the UK.) I’ve been sorely tempted by the Dollfie Dreams, but I’ve realised that the normal, hauntingly beautiful BJD’s are what I want. Ones like Aquilla has.

The Making of….

As you may have read, I recieved my obitsu starter pack on sunday. Not really a starter pack, but its got everything I needed to make my own. Read on to find out how I got on!

Megahouse Meer Campbell 1/6th Doll

I got Meer on Saturday. Have been very lazy about the blogging lately… tis the holidays, much fun to be had. Mainly involving varying foods and tv lol. Meet is lovely. I’ve never seen Gundam Seed Destiny myself. But I’ve got a couple of mini figures from the series, and now Meer.

She’s got a great face. Very docile, And the hair is nice too. I know it had a big price tag when it was first released, which is a shame, but quality wise, she is great. Even though the hair is actually hollow, it looks great, and bends, so you don’t have to worry so much about breakages. Apparantly its an obitsu body. Whatever that means… I know I’ve heard it before… but not sure in regards to what…
