New set up – GIRLS EVERYWHERE!!

The new set up for my figures. There are soooo many more that need to come, and alll my figma’s and nendoroids.

So I came back to Birmingham yesterday, with some, not all, of my figures. Glad I have Chie, Ayu, Tamaki and some of my To Heart crew. There are soooo many more that need to come. Like Makoto, and the mini figures, nendo’s, figma’s, basically a massive selection. I HAVE MISSED THEM SO. They’re so goddamn pretty.

Seriously. Tamaki. She’s soooooooooo cute. And yes her ‘outfit’ is ridiculously scanty, but I love her face. And Yuki’s. I need all my bikini girls back so they can be together lol. I miss Haruka T-T

And I stand by my favourite figure maker, Kotobukiya. Most of the ones here are Kotobukiya… 8 of them anyway. So many more to come… I CAN’T WAIT!!!

Clayz Nogizaka Haruka Figure – SHIPPED @ 12:27 Today!!!

I checked my email today at 12:45 and saw that Haruka-chan had finally shipped from Up1!!! I so hope she’s worth the delay!!

Isn’t Haruka-chan lovely? I’m so glad she’s getting a second series!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I can’t wait!! And I can’t wait to get the figure! Preordered back in August…..long time ago now it seems…. This is the ‘outfit’ she’s in in the figure, not sure much an outfit really lol…. But its cute! And is the best Haruka-chan figure available! The Toys Works ones looked weird… the faces weren’t right and the boobs were too small… and since this is a character I actually have seen the anime for, I’d prefer her to be as accurate as possible. Am I right? High res available here at Konachan. I’m trying to work out if its a clever edit of all the bits from the op of the anime. Or if its an actual poster someone got ahold of…. I’m betting on edit. But I might be wrong lol.

Anyways, *if* I get her tomorrow I will post pics straight away obviously(I’m actually gonna wake up earlier than I usually do on a saturday just so I can check the mail… how sad of me… will be so gutted if she’s not here tomorrow… but the To Heart dvd’s were here the day after shipping….. I can only hope…).

To Heart Complete DVD Thinpack

Yesterday I got my To Heart anime boxset in the mail. 13 episodes, 6 mini episodes(I’ve seen 2, very cute!) plus the usual extras, trailers, line art etc. I’m on episode 7.

Pretty box art.

Prettyness. I didn’t think I’d like the art as much as I do. But it’s nice. charming or something. Bought for £20. Region 1. Released by Rightstuf and Nozomi. Better DVD’s than ADV or such like. Better dub. I can actually stand to listen to it lol. Has been a while since I have been able to listen to a dub for a prolonged length of time. Akari’s english voice actress sounds cute. The UK would never have such a good deal unless it’d been out for yonks. Then again… they’d almost never release this…

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.
