Stella is awesome
by Xelotath on 02/25/2010 11 comments

I received a package today. I bought the Nagato Yuki figma from Stella's sale. The figure is really nice and I'm happy about my purchase. Now if any of you have purchased stuff from Stella in the past you know that the figure is not alone in that box. Here's a picture:

A really cute letter with Reimu drawn on the envellope, a Dororo mini figure from Keroro Gunso and candies!

Finally, here's a shot of Yuki being welcomed in my figure collection and waving goodbye to her former owner.


Thanks!

My dream figure finally arrived!
by Xelotath on 09/21/2009 10 comments



So my most wanted figure that I couldn't find at an affordable price is now in my possession. I've searched for her for over a year now and I couldn't be happier to hold her in my hands.




As usual I'm not happy with the quality of my pictures, when view in full resolution there is alot of artifacts in them. This always happens when I don't use the flash, but when I use the flash you can see what happened with the first picture, it is way to white.





And now the obligatory pantsu shots (sorry Kureha!):




I used a Panasonic Lumix ZS3. Tips on how to improve would be appreciated.

Thanks for viewing! (My next photoshoot will be Saber Lily from GSC as soon as she arrives.)

Konata and Kagami - CLayz version

I received those two cuties last week but I waited until I got my new camera for the photo shoot. Sorry for a poor pictures I have a lot to learn, and I didn't make an effort for the background, future photo shoots will be better. So here they are:

Fake figures
by Xelotath on 11/30/2008 10 comments

I was looking at my Nendoroids and noticed something. L and Light had a shinier skin compared to others, so I checked online to see if they are fakes. I found the following guide : Fake L guide.



Now I'm pissed that I didn't notice this sooner. I got them off ebay for a normal price and the seller was from japan so I tought it was ok. The quality is still ok for fakes since I didn't notice at first but when looking at the real thing there is really a difference. Now I'll be really careful if I buy other figures on ebay.

Did this happen to any of you?

New acquisitions!
by Xelotath on 07/09/2008 5 comments

I recently got nice new figures and thought I would show them here. I suck at taking photos and have bad equipment, sorry.

First here is the Konata cosplaying as Haruhi figma:






Next are the Lucky Star - Fate/Stay Night Nendoroids:








Finally, a group photo:



Konata is my first figma and I can safely say that I'll buy more of them(Saber is arriving this week hopefully). I hope you liked them!

My (small) collection
by Xelotath on 06/01/2008 8 comments

So I was waiting for the c-blogs for a long time to show my collection. It's really not amazing like what I see on the Internet sometimes but I'm proud of it. I don't use all my money on this because I also collect games(I'll post that one on dtoid whenever I can get up my lazy ass and take some pictures.), DVDs and Manga. This collection started when I was working at Toys R Us ans bought a lot of pokemons figures. I don't why I did that but soon my shelf was covered in pokemon figures, I then bought a box of FF3 DS mini figures, FF trading arts mini and FF4 DS minis. After I bought some bigger figures I thought those were better so I starting buy them instead of minis. Here is a picture of almost all my collection:


Yes I suck at taking pictures...

Here is some other stuff, Lego Star Wars model, a couple more pokemans, Lord of the Ring small figures that were on a cake my sister got for her birthday and a Balrog papercraft from Cave Story. That's the only papercraft I ever attempted because it was easy to do. Picture:



The next picture is of my bigger figures, from the left is Saki Kasukabe from Genshiken, Shana from Shakugan no Shana, Big Daddy from the CE of Bioshock, at the lower left is Yagami Light and L Nendoroids from Death Note and finally the crappy Altair figure that came with the crappy Assassin Creed CE.



Those are Naruto minis of Kakashi, Orochimaru, Naruto, Sasuke, Rock Lee, Neji and Sakura from Shippuuden.



Then we have my older toys from when I was young, Super Mario Bros. toys. Three of them are Mcdonalds toys. The luigi keychain I won at a Pokemon Stadium tournament.



The last picture show a better view of my Final Fantasy minis.
