WL will be late this week, but there will be other posts

I'm going away for a senior cadet conclave this weekend, so I won't be with my figures. BUT, I can post some other things still because I will have WiFi.


So expect WL on Monday.

Shout out

 I'm being forced at gunpoint to make a shout out to Erika and Hilary.


And that's it. 


I gave The Asian money yesterday for Youmu Konpaku.

Here's the contest holder's website:

Drawing: Youmu Konpaku

   No fancy title for this one. I AM OBSESSED WITH TOUHOU.




She took a while (about 1.5-2 hours). I'm really happy with the result though.

Nendoroid Youmu Konpaku Get

   So, as I said yesterday, I really wanted to get Nendoroid Youmu Konpaku. It took me a while to find a good price, but besides the proxy services, which I was to stay away from, I got her for $68 total at JBox. 



I can't wait for her to come in.

   If you haven't noticed yet, Youmu is now apart of my favourite characters list.

High Alert Mode Switched to Nendoroid Youmu Konpaku

   Well, ever since I preordered Nendoroid Yuyuko Saigyouji, I've been falling in love this her gardener Youmu Konpaku. I really want her Nendoroid as well.






I am searching everywhere for a good price.

Weekly Lick 11

    Another week, and more poses, BUT WHAT IS THIS?!? I TOOK SOME TIME INTO MAKING A PHOTOSHOOT! HOLY SCHNITZEL!


Let's not get carried away now, I DID take 2 non-photoshoot pictures, because I thought 3 was enough.


So, while gathering the materials, my brother's friends came to my house and saw me scavenging things. Weird conversation was weird.


SO, let's get to the photos:


Unexpected Order and New Mangas

So while playing Touhou 7: PCB, I thought of one of my new favourite characters, Yuyuko Saigyouji. I have fallen in love with her design just last night, and I remembered seeing a post of figure.fm about a Nendoroid of her. I immediately went on google and searched my hearts content for a figure that has been published as EXCLUSIVE (holy shite!). I finally found her for $56 total (with shipping) on Big in Japan. What's awesome for me and sucky for those looking for Yuyuko is that I got that last preorder ( here's the link to make you know http://www.biginjap.com/pvc-figures/2250-touhou-project-nendoroid-saigyouji-yuyuko.html ).






I love The Asian. Not in a romantic way, but as a friend way.


Also, after I returned from drill team practice, I decided that I was going to go to The Lair and see if Figma Dead Master had arrived. Sadly, she didn't, BUT Fate/Stay Night Vol. 10 and Deadman Wonderland Vol. 4 arrived, so I bought those.




Good day has been good.

High Alert Mode ON!

So, ever since the release of HMO Miku, I've been falling in love. I'm trying to find her in AmiAmi on sale, but she's temporarily sold out ( ; _ ; ). I'll be on high alert for a while.

Weekly Lick 10

   Another week, another photo set.


I was really inspired by Wonderfest with some of the poses (maybe one of them, lol).


So yeah, no big intro this week, so here are the pictures:

Figures that caught my eye at WonderFest

No, I did not go, but on Figure.fm there are tons of post with figures.
Here are some I saw and wanted SO bad:


Black Rock Shooter Stuff:
Nendoroid STR ~ I LOVE STR! She's one of my favourite BRS characters. I'm getting this no matter what.
Figma STR ~ Same reason as above, plus I'm going to try and get all of the BRS figmas subtract Matou.
Figma Yomi ~ Dead Master in her human form <3
Black Rock Shooter Game (with White Rock Shooter) ~ I need a PSP, but WRS is EPIC!


The World God Only Knows stuff:
Nendoroid Elsie ~ SO FRIGGIN CUTE!
Nendoroid Haqua ~ I don't know much about her yet, but she looks cute!


Shining Wind stuff:
Figutto!(I think) Seena ~ She's a iffy, but she'll go good with Kureha
Figutto!(I think) Kureha ~ Definite get.
There might be some more, not sure.


Vocaloid:
Figma Miku Append ~ I need at least 1 Miku. (^w^)


Fractale:
Nendoroid (Petite?) Nessa and Phryne


There may be more, such as Saber Lily, but she's going to cost a leg, so I'll be saving up from now on.




Also, I need to buy Black Gold Saw before she's all sold out.

GL review is up

Go and read it if you want.


Thanks.


ALSO, here's Rider's Picture of the Day:

Old Anime Review: Spice and Wolf

Spice and Wolf


Synopsis: Spice and Wolf's story revolves around Kraft Lawrence, a 25-year-old traveling merchant who peddles various goods from town to town to make a living in a stylized historical setting with European influences. His main goal in life is to gather enough money to start his own shop, and he already has been traveling for seven years while gaining experience in the trade. One night when stopped at the town of Pasloe, he finds in his wagon a pagan wolf-deity girl named Holo who is over 600 years old. She appears to be a 15-year-old girl, except for a wolf's tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest, who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite her responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu; she believes the people have already forsaken her and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests. Holo wants also to travel to see how the world has changed while she has remained in one place for years. She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church. (taken from Wikipedia)

Weekly Lick 9

   Expect more post tonight. First of all, I'd lick to say HOLY CRAP 3000 VIEWS! (^o^)


Now then, I decided to bring up the lamp for today, since it was getting dark out. The photos turned out really nice. (^~^)


ANYWAY, since I just got Kureha, I decided to put her into the kyudo pose and to change it later on, since I DO change the poses every week.


Review: Nendoroid Touka Kureha

   A few days ago (I believe it was Wednesday), The Asian texted me and told me that Kureha had came in. Sicne she wasn't home at the time that I was going to go pick her up, I had to wait. So, last night, while on the way home from dinner and a movie, I texted her and told her that I was on the way to pick up Kureha. I picked her up, paid her, and brought Kureha home, where I snuck her into the house and up into my room. I'm a sneaky bastard. (^o^) That's why I'm a Slytherin. So, this morning, after being woken up by a text, I decided to do this review.


For the pictures, I used my Tamron lens, as well as a bunch of fake flowers, and a furry piece of fabric. I didn't want to go with black this time, since I only use it now for dark characters, and Kureha is not dark.


January Loot

   January has been a good month. It may be one of the most expensive months yet, but it's well worth it. In January, I bought Deadman Wonderland Vol 2 and 3, a 52mm circular polarizer filter for my 50mm prime fix, a Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro lens (was used for the photos), and finally Nendoroid Dead Master. Sadly, Kureha never came in on time.


ALSO, I'l be uploading from photobucket from now on, since I already passed my 1GBs of space. D:

I'm staying here

I hate wordpress.It's so hard to make the blog look nice.
So I'm staying here.

Also, I had to make a Rider folder today, since I had saved around 90 new pictures of her. (^~^)

Let me refresh my internet to add her picture...

Okay, and now here's Rider's Picture of the Day...
