132,132 :)

I know, its not a real benchmark or anything, but its 132!! Even though the numbers meant nothing to me originally, but over the years I’ve grown to love them :3

132132 views. Thank you. There was a weird spike in daily views about a month ago when I got around 500 a day for 2 weeks-ish cos of my Digimon post… which was odd… not complaining, I just still have no clue why, as theres no pingback or links from anywhere to it x3

Ofc, in mini-celebration, heres some Chie Yoshioka :3 Some CG’s from TH2AD 🙂 My favourite ones.

I do wonder why there arn’t more ToHeart figures in swimsuits… plenty of the main girls yes, Konomi, Tamaki etc, even Yuki has one, but there are charcters who don’t have them. As a Chie fangirl, I just want more Chie figures lol XD

I wish eroge CG’s were higher res… 800×600 just isn’t good enough…. how do you make good wallpapers out of those? They’re so pretty they deserve higher res images… *grumble*

And Chie deserves more coverage :3 She’s adorable!! Such lovely green hair, like Tsuruya-san, similarly quirky I do believe too :3

Which sounds better?

Which sounds better, ‘Oh Girl, Oh Boy…’ or ‘Oh Boy, Oh Girl…’? (As a title.)

So, hands in the air please!! Votes required!!

One of the pretty-pretty CG's from TH2AD.

New light, New set up

Today I caved and got the light from Argos, £9.97, max height 52cm, an angle poisey affair. I went and got some bulbs from the pound shop near the market, no daylight bulbs sadly, I’ll need to find one/some from somewhere… I don’t think ordering light bulbs online would be the best idea though, ne?

I got some pretty papers for backgrounds too. And a plain yellow bit, since it would look great with Chie. And it does. Right??

Light Diffuser Testing

I know I need two lights… with the right bulbs… the light I was using with the homemade diffuser had a energy saving bulb… god I hate them…. dull and horrid… Got one in my room at home…. nothing like a good 60 watt bulb….

This was taken using 3 lights, one with the diffuser, the wall light and ceiling light.

How many figures will a 360 Elite buy?

Image comes from Amazon

One of my biggest dilemma’s over the past year or so is, whether or not I should buy an Xbox 360. xJaymanx suggested I make a post about it, so I did, hehe. When I get one, it’ll almost definately be an Elite… So about £230 for the console itself, not in a bundle, in a bundle deal it would probably be like… £245, £260… I’m not worried about the games that would come in the bundle, since they’d be crap ones, probably sport games that the shop couldn’t shift on their own. I’m going by Gamestation, Amazon, GAME prices, since they’d be the places I’d most likely get one. So… onto the question… how many figures that I really want, not impulse buys, can a 360 Elite buy?

Kotobukiya Ikuno Komaki ~ToHeart2 Another Days~ 1/8th PVC Figure – An every-otaku review

Oha all! It’s almost 4am in the UK, and I have no lessons tomorrow, so blatently, I’m gonna be awake till about 5 lol. Sleeping in LATE lol. Then going for movies in the evening I believe… work inbetween then though. Like a good little student. :beam: Onto the review I say!

Today we look at Ikuno Komaki. Manaka’s younger sister.(A figure of which I might be getting for xmas off some friendlies.) The unique thing about Ikuno-kun is that she is in a wheelchair. I had never before seen a wheelchair-bound figure before Ikuno-kun. I first spied her on Play.com of all places. And avoided buying due to the £35 price tag and the smallish size, about 13.5cm or 5.5inches (Michiru Yamada is about the same, I’m sorry I haven’t been mentioning the heights of the figures in my reviews… thats one piece of information I always look for in reviews…. gomenasai…). When I saw her at the London Expo in October for £25 I didn’t hesitate in getting her. (Along with Michiru, Tamaki, Asakura and Fuko lol, £25 each, £125 total at that stand alone…) I was soooo pleased I finally got her! As you may already know, I love ToHeart. ToHeart2(and AD) in particular. I’m currently watching the first ToHeart anime. On ep 4. Tis nice so far. Nice backgrounds. But is making me wanna buy all the available older ToHeart figures… I already own 3…. but there are quite a few more I’m missing….(just reminded me… I made a list of my figures, just before the Midlands Expo… needs slightly updating….)

The figure itself has a great sculpt. The paintwork is nice. Very neat lines on the skirt detail and neckerchief detail. I’m very happy with Koto’s workmanship here.

The pose is nice. Slightly turning, book in hand. Very cute. Captures the sickly-hospital-bound archetype well.

The hair is nice. Though you can see a joint line in this photo on the hair. Only a travesty if your displaying back-first. And I’ve never encounted anyone to do that… yet lol. You can also see, the familar clear pink base. Even though you don’t really need a base for this figure due to the wheelchair. More pics n details below.
