Seriously, she's amazing. Even the way she sits in the base is brilliant.

Yeah, the box my 15k Villetta Nu came in was bashed to shit. Everything inside was perfectly fine, but man... That box has seen some shit.
Been meaning to ask, but is your avatar the girl from Big Hero 6?

I've already ordered two, and I have those kaiyodo kirin's ordered (the rust one arrived already) so that's a herd of 4 already.
Meyn starting a army over here.
Maybe I might order another three and make it a nice amount of 7?
I initially wanted the white one for Griffith too, but I also wanted to mod one as Epona for Link. I've waited forever for a good articulated horse and I shall have them all!*

and by "all" I mean 6
Speaking of needing a figurine...

No kidding. All they have are the dinky little kids toys. If they legit made a quality statue of her, I'd buy it. Even at $200.
I watched that movie this weekend and never thought I would enjoy as much I did. Ordered the artbook already.
And yes, thankfully Gogo did not get that much screen time, it was so hard to focus on the movie whenever she appeared, that body was absolutely bonkers, I tell ya.

Are these horses exclusive to just one Japanese retailer? or will them eventually be up for pre-order at the usual places?
Well I just think she is cute.

It's a New Years miracle!
My OYATAKA-SAMA nendo arrived!
And I can see why my shipment was EMS-only, lol
I really didn't expect ARTFX J Eren to be so huge.
I don't even have time to move stuff around to fit him somewhere on my desk, lol

Mailman tried to deliver my package today but I wasn't home. Gotta go in the morning and pick up Jubilee and whatever-the-fuck-else-I-bought-I-honestly-forget.
They're GoodSmile exclusives since they're being made at the new Japan factory (like the new Sakura miku). I don't know if anyone else will be able to stock them (I would have really liked to get that amiami discount going on). Then after release they'll probably appear at all the usual used places.
At least yours tried.
I have been home all day, my package was out for delivery, and I checked the mail earlier and found a missed delivery slip in the mailbox (rather than stuck in my door like usual). Bastard didn't even try. Now I have to waste an hour making a trip to the post office tomorrow.

My mail guy is pretty good. He does package delivery in the morning, then will try again in the afternoon when he's doing the regular mail rounds.
Also remembered what else I ordered. Kotobukiya Sinon and Prison School Hana. HHHHNNNNGGGGG.

Messenger app ala Whatsapp but no payment and such cause they subsidies their services through the purchase of stickers (images like emoticons). More or less Japan's biggest social network as well now,
take that Facebook =P

Man I totally forgot I clipped Line stickers so many ages ago.
I guess there's a bunch of new ones now.

Hmmm Blazblue radio SD characters seemed to be in the Creators' Stickers instead of the plain stickers section
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001919 or Amazon.com or Kotobukyia's US store: http://store.kotous.com/pre-order-street-fighter-chun-li-bishoujo-statue.html
Apparently releasing again in February, might as well go with Amiami seeing as their US store is just importing from their JPN store.

No clue about the God Hand figmas, they showed some prototypes and art work, but like Zero Suit Samus it'll be a while before we see them. Fingers crossed we might have them all in a few years time..
Pre-ordered Hot Toy Darth Vader for £215 shipped, rather wait a few more months then pay £280 for it..
I said I'd post pictures with the unboxed nendos so here we go.
Technically the Iron bros were already unboxed but I've relocated them to the top shelf and tweaked their stances. Having Iron Man in that particular pose is REALLY hard. Not quite false advertising but close lol.
Then I moved to the vocaloids. All in all they're great though the older nendos are really much less interesting. Less posable, more stiff and well, the quality is lower. Rin and Len's painting was really sub-par and Rin's ribbon is grey rather than white (those were originals bought through the GSC store at MCM London and I guess they must be from their initial release). Luka's base is absolutely horrendous. Her hair makes the use of normal base + support impossible so you get a round base that you slot the nendo into and the fold of her dress is supposed to lock her in place. In reality she can topple over with the slightest vibration. I had to put some putty in the back to make her a bit more stable. I am very much in love with the end result though, they look amazing together! (also Meiko is best!)
Sakura Shinguji and her mech! Very poor in accessories but basically 2 nendos. I wished the mech was a bit more flexible (Mecha Wooser is much better in that regard) but I think I managed to come up with a nice little scene for them. Looking forward to the next Sakura Wars nendo.
Next we have...
What's with the conflicted feelings face Ryuuko?
Ah. I see. Mako doesn't seem to care though! I decided to display those two with Phat Ryuuko in between them towards the front, until Phat Satsuki arrives. As for Satsuki-sama, well..
I'd love to setup a permanent display like this for her, it's just too good. Also I had to battle with her to get that particular pose, her arms really don't allow much flexibility. I do have an extra sword for other nendos now though!
Next up was Saber Lion. Now this here is the biggest dissapointment. She was a first edition so no square base + support, it's another round base with a slot system but it's even worse than Luka's since there's no dress or hair or whatever to lock her into place and the slot is larger than her legs/feet so she can't stand on her own at all. I used putty again to hold her. The kit doesn't have much either, just 4 extra arms, the food bowl and the faces who are actually quite nice. Being from 2008 she's very stiff too, like Rin/Len. In the end I'm glad I paid only 1800 yen for her but I don't regret the purchase.
Everyone knows Renchon so I'll just pass to the next one!
I wanted to display Iona with all the extra effects (the holograms) but they are super flimsy and cound't stay straight, making it really ugly so I ended up with the classic crouching on the mainframe pose. Bring on best girl Takao next!
The Rin & Ren sisters : again very poor on accessories BUT you get 2 nendos for Ren and 3 for Rin! The only issue is you get only 1 base & support for Ren and 2 bases & 1 support in the Rin box. Luckly since Iron Man isn't using his support I set both swimsuit versions on a single base with 2 supports. Mecha-Wooser is amazing : the head opens but isn't loose, it slides and can stay open. Sakura's mech head can only be taken off or left on, no in betweens. Oh, and if you're wondering, you only put the torso of the nendo inside, not the entire body. I'm super happy with those two and I hope Wooser's 2nd season means we might see more nendos from it.
I'm super happy with the display (no full picture, sorry) but it only makes me want to add more. Nendoroids truly are the devil. Abandon all hope if you decide to collect them.

Megahouse Yukiko finally came in!
Overall I really like it! The hair is a bit too shiny looking but the rest looks great. Going to keep her with the glasses and fan accessories. Can't really complain too much since I got her for the price of $Free.99, thanks Amazon!
Also finished my latest gunpla earlier, MG Tallgeese:

I think it was slightly redesigned, a lot of the kit is.
Does it have eyes? I see what looks like eyes but in the top half of the head, very odd.
Hah, yeah it does have eyes. They're thin though and the sticker you put behind the clear piece is silver so they don't really stand out at all. The Tallgeese has blue eyes, all the shots on the box have blue eyes, but they don't give you a blue piece/sticker for them. Definitely my biggest gripe with the kit.
