Dilemma of a light box
So, I've done a bit more renovation/repositioning on my light box to see if I can improve my picture quality, and here it is. The added lamp does add to the overall brightness in it...but I'm thinking of doing more modification to...

I came across this gem while surfing today, and thought I should share it. Just ridiculously polished. That is all.

Loots of March
The much-anticipated package from AmiAmi has arrived! And it's ridiculously huge! And the evidence of packaging fail for AmiAmi. More than half of that box was just paper! Nonetheless, Lineage 2 Elf, Velvet (My favourit...

Bunch of random ramblings
Been busy until today, mainly because it's time for me to get my gears cranking for the thesis. The first draft is due soon, and I'd sort of like to graduate :). I've been talking to a prof at the school and he accepted me to being one of his stud...

Or at least it was supposed to be Wonfes loot, but things turned out rather differently... First, the delay, and the reason for it: The yellow tape indicates that they decided to open up the box and take a look in it. Uh oh... And th...

I was moving some furniture to prep my room for another display case, and during the process had to take out the figures I put in my current display case. Thought I might as well take some pictures of my own collection: From the top and:...

A thank you gift from a friend of mine, for introducing Snow Miku to her. She started drawing it almost immediately after seeing the Petite version, and here's a semi-final product of her labour. I have the original copy as well, but she'll be...

I've a friend who's in Japan, who offered to buy and ship some limited figures from Wonder Festival, coming up on February 7th. He's asked me to see if anyone else that I know would also like to order stuff from it. Strictly unofficial in that he...

It's here! (2)
I received a package early in the morning. I knew what it's supposed to be, but the box was way too big. A single figure couldn't possibly take all that space. And look at that insane postage. It costs half as much as the figure itse...

I finally received it this morning at around 8. I was fairly groggy at that point, so kinda just received it and left the box in the kitchen. Was busy throughout until later in the night, but once I got started taking pictures it was prett...

So I was taking a look at the figures being planned to be out, and noticed a rather nice one. Obviously a ton of nudity on this one. I'm still living with my parents, so I try not to get figures that are outright nude/vulgar/etc. Doesn't mean...

I received a package from AmiAmi yesterday, and decided to do a quick photoshoot of these gems contained inside. Marisa's surprisingly everything I expected from a quality Touhou figure and more. So glad I shelled out cash for this. It took...

I've said I'll be away for a while due to WoW, and that's precisely what I did :) More or less completed the Wrath of the Lich Kings expansion contents, and once the new patch is out, I'll be trying that out and finishing my brief bout of WoW. I n...

Nankyoku Sakura - Alter / GoodSmile Company mix

I was actually going to add Mirim first (my more recent purchase), but for some reason I can't get into the manufacturer's page (MegaHouse). Since I just pre-ordered another figure based on Tony Taka's drawing, this one seemed like a fair choice.
