Megahouse Branven review… Usagi_joou is still alive!

Hello everyone who remembers me, THE Usagi of the Shelf. I’ve been out for a while, and, actually, I’m still mostly out due to family reasons. My recent activity on the shelf was limited to unhurried selling some of my figures. The days of great m...

Last big loot of Usagi Joou with MOE in it

Long ago, in February, in the midst of Russian winter depression, I finally decided to damp my ardour. That month I had, I guess the BIGGEST single month loot since I started collecting. 11 boxes, check it out! And, you know what? I think it wil...

Palm-top Saber and other prizes

As some of you may remember, I won a couple of prizes in MyAnimeShelf’s summer lottery. Thing is, I was the last one to actually get them, which is peculiar considering that I live nearer to Glory than all other lottery winners . I’ve got a chance...

Happy Birthday, beloved Shelf!

We're 1 year old now! The 25 of October is nearly over here, in Russia, so it's time for me to say something. There are things and people in our life find interesting or pleasing from the first glance. We could really be infatuated with those th...

Non-figure merchandise - part 1

Miwa Shirow illustrations

I stumbled upon Miwa Shorow's art today on Sankaku. I usually don't save arts I find on the internet, but he is quite irresistible! He is a mangaka actually, author of Dogs manga (the one I just MUST check now I've seen his works), and illustrato...

K-On classic bicycle ride. Ex:ride!

One more Preorder of the Year - RAH Rei!

So it's a fact now - I'm changing my ways as a figure collector. I'm slowly drifting away from figmas and PVC figurines. I missed figma Rider preorder and now, when she's out, I'm not running around in circles on Ebay, looking for less-overpriced on...

Kotobukiya Shinji/Kaworu pair figures review

Once in a lifetime I decided to make a review post straight after my figure arrived^__^ Well, in this case it would be not figure, but figures – Kotobukiya’s 1/8 Shinji & Kaworu from Evangelion. This figure set originally comes from 2007 an...

Preorder of the year: Rider with motorcycle

This is a big decision for me – to spend nearly 300 bucks on a figure^__^ I think I go crazy like that once in a year or two. So I had an urge to tell the world that I’m getting this stunning hentai beauty: Rider on a Vespa bike! HENTAI WARNING!

My own outcome of Wonder Festival 2010

I'm really glad that things like WonFest exist. When I started my figure-collecting some 5 years ago I didn't know anything about the industry. I had to buy things on the whim and, of course, I missed many must-haves that time. Now I can plan my w...

As I already mentioned, Ginko turned out to be a very good model. He is easy to pose, and, because he is 1/6 scale (big enough), I found many good backgrounds for him. We arrived late, barely made it for dinner (or supper, how we would call it in Ru...
