Kotobukiya Inu Yasha Higurashi Kagome & Shippo 1/8 PVC
I got Kagome awhile ago and now they are re-releasing her in light of the new anime, I’m getting the re-release, only to see if they fix up any of the small hiccups and seam lines.
There’s a mark on the back of her skirt but I can’t remember if that was there when I got her or not….
I like the detail on the bow.
Lots of details in the arrows.
Back of her hair.
Kagome looks really pretty when you take a Photo from this angle or just look at her from this angle; she looks very determined.
And there is little shippo.
Shippo’s hiding.
Hiding
Interesting lighting.
Only outdoor shot I got cause I have a major phobia of spiders and bugs.
Now to do an outdoor like shoot in a potted plant.
Preparing.
Shippo again.
So I really do love this figure alot. There are some hiccups and seam lines but it was made 2005, which was a while ago and compared to today’s figures will be a little lacking in quality.
But with the re-release you don’t have to worry about counterfeits and can pre-order a real one from a respectable figure dealer and not ebay where fake migrant to. Hobby Link Japan and Toylet are two examples.

Max Factory Lucky Star Konata Izumi Winter Uniform ver. Figma
Konata was my very first figma, now I have 9 others besides her (though one I need to get a new one for, that one being Cosplay Kagami), and now I think it’s safe to say that I really do love figmas and understand enough about them to post a review with confidence.
These pictures are a mix of ones I took recently and ones i had took when I had first gotten her and had also first gotten my digital camera(so you can kinda tell), which was at christmas time.
When I first got her I loved the fact how posable she was,
Konata wants YOU!!
Number 1!
I love her chocolate cornet, even since learning of these things i’ve really wanted to try one.
My sister in the background…..
Now on to the newer pics where Konata explores my living room…..and terrifies my fish….
Fishy, Fishy, Fishy, Fishy…..
Another thing about figmas that I love is that I really don’t notice the joints at all, even though they are classified as action figures, compared to most action figures which the joints are really apparent, figmas seem to have more hidden joints but still have the same flexibility if not more.
She looks like she really wants a hug.
Konata making fun of the statue.
She looks so angelic…..
another angle…
I’m not sure what she’s on….
She’s like “YES, A SKI DOO!!! XD”.
and then she had to take a bunch of pics with it….
Sooo, to conclude my very first figure review(though I should have done this one an actual figure…), I’d have to say I love Konata very much, though one problem I have is that Konata bangs don’t like to stay on har head, but I’ve read a couple of reviews for her and most people say this.
I’d definitely have to say that if you don’t own Konata to go get one, and if you don’t like Konata there are plenty of figmas out there with plenty of different characters for you to choose from…

Punk Loli Outfit To Be
Since I’ve already experienced Gothic Lolita as of recently (I should make a post for that two.), I decided my next outfit for Lolita would be Punk Loli. So here is what I’m planning to by for my Punk Loli.
Blouse – From Milanoo
Skirt(it’s going to be in black and red plaid) – From Milanoo
Tie – From Bodyline
Shoes – From Bodyline
Bag – From Bodyline
I already have black socks with white lace at the top from bodyline, though I’m thinking of just going to out to Zellers or something and buying plain knee high socks. For a hair piece I’m going to buy a side bow clip from Claire’s or Ardene’s.
So that’s my punk loli, I’m ordering the skirt and blouse on thursday since Milanoo is having a sale. So yeah. any way I’ll try to post the pics from when I was wearing my Gothic Loli up soon….hopefully!^^;
Till then Ja ne,

update 23/09
added new collection pages and updated figures page again….^^
Defective Kagami Figma
My New Kagami Cosplay ver Figma is defective, her arms are wrong and I’m not sure how.
She’s missing the “K*H” that’s suppose to be on her arm.
I don’t think the joints are suppose to be showing….
I’m gonna post a review soon, I promise!!!
Sorry I don’t do much on here….though I really don’t think anyone reads this anyway…..-.-;
Buuuuuttttt I really am not concerned with that right now……I updated the figures page again….. so far that is the only thing I’ve really done with this blog of mine. Really I want to do more with it, but i’m not really sure what to do. I want to do some reviews on figures, anime, games, and such…
well, maybe I’ll get some time soon and go on a rampage fiddling with this. But I’m definally going to try to post a figure review soon!!>,<
3 Quick Anime Reviews
Ok, so I decided I’m going to review 3 animes, just because I want to and I want thsi blog to look like something is actually done on it besides me updating my figures section……-.-;
So, onward!!
First up…….Peach Girl!
It’s been awhile since I watched the anime so I’m gogin off of what I remember…..^^;
Now, Peach Girl was a fairly good anime. I liked the characters and how they interacted with eachother. The story line was really good too, I found it to be very cute. The dramas of High School was interesting too. I really have one complaint, and that would be the animation, well…. no, cause it ws well animated, what I mean is the art style, I found it very destracting to watch the anime when I really didn’t like the artstyle at all; but I got over that beacuse the rest of the anime was exceptionally done.
Story: 8/10
Loses a point for High School drama and a girl not being able to choose between two guys a fairly done thing, but I liked the way it was layed out so…yeah.
Animation: 5/10
Only cause I hate the character art styling.
Music:7/10
It’s been awhile since I watched it, but I reamember liking the music….
Voice Acting: 7/10
I eally don’t remember much about the voice acting….though I remember it being fairly good…
Idea: 9/10
Had a good idea, just some terrible flaws…*cough cough*art style*cough cough*…
Overall: 8/10

Next is Sailor Moon!…first season….
I recently finished re-watching the first season of Sailor Moon, so this is gogin to turn out more as a comparison of the english dub of my childhood to the original japanese version.
I have loved Sailor Moon ever since I first watched it all those years ago. Now that I have watched the original I will tell you now that if you want to know what pointlessly removed episodes the dubbers removed from the english line-up of episodes, the most easiest way to expain it would take every second episode out up till about episode 15-16 and then near the end of the anime cut out a couple more just to make sure you got out all the “bad” parts and that about how they chopped it. Some of the chopped episodes were really pointless to chop, Like Venus’s past episode, nothing really bad happens except for a building blowing up and everyone thing that Minako died….ok that a little bad, but she doesn’t really die, so what’s the real problem with it?
Story: 9/10
Considered one of the greatest “Magical Girl” animes out there it should have a good story!^^ and boy do I love the stories in the world of Sailor Moon (see my biasness yet?).
Animation: 8/10
Only cause it’s really old and I know they get better as the seasons progressed….
Music:9/10
I still love the music in Sailor Moon.
Voice Acting: 8/10
Sometimes Sailor Moon can be irratting when she talks cause she whines and makes high pitch noises, but that’s my only complaint. All the rest of the voice acting is very well done.
Idea: 9/10
…I’m bias…..I love the Sailor Moon anime too much not to love the idea, besides I really love a good magical girl anime!^^
Overall: 9/10
——————-
Last but not least is K-On!
Recently finished watching this and I am saddened by the fact that it was only 13 episodes long, since the way it ended made it seem like there was suppose to be alot more to it then there was….:(
Anyway, K-On! is a very well done anime and words straight from my friends horu’s mouth “It’s like Beck! But only it’s all shoujo-i-fied, and is sparkly and is for girls!! It’s awsome!!”. I agree with her whole heartily and now I’m on the prowl for figures from this series…Look I because Bias towards another anime!! 
Story: 9/10
Loses a piont for ending at such a weird time and upsetting me…But other than that I Loves the story lots.
Animation: 9/10
They put a lot of effort into the animation of this anime!!^^ reason why it loses a point because I’ve seen better animation before, but this animation is still too awsome to be knocked down alot of points.
Music:10/10
VERY CATCHY!!!!! That is how I feel about the music in this anime…well it is a music based anime…so I would hope it would have very good music in it….WHICH IT DOES!!! XD
Voice Acting: 9/10
The voice actors are very talented in this anime.
Idea: 9/10
Loes a point because it basically like a gitl’s version of Beck, but there are plently of things that make up for that, that are not in Beck.
Overall: 9/10 (IT’S AWSOME!!!….I’m soooooo bias…..)
—————-
So….there’s my fist really huge-ass post and I hope it showed you how bias i can be towards some anime….welll, I still told you my honest opinion of them…..
Anyway, I will now run off and try to force my mother to measure me, so i can finally order my very first Lolita dress!!^^ Isn’t that exciting?????!!!!!
