Japan Computer UsageI rather hope it's yarase. After all, that can't be too safe, nor is it very considerate of the folks around you.
If it's -not- yarase, then... Maybe it's simply the next logical step following the glut of people walking around while texting on thei...
Evangelion Air FreshnerI'm surprised they don't just have a plain old EVA-shaped air freshener, doesn't matter what model. I mean, any sort of mecha would beat that silly ol' pine tree any day of the week, right? Especially a lemony-fresh mecha!
Anime T-ShirtsFirst off, I loooove KL's artwork - unbearably adorable! And I think you've made a good call with the design on the black t-shirts. The almost monochrome design, with little splashes of colour (particularly the pink lettering) is eye-catching but not...
What's in the Box?There is nothing in the box. Rather, it is a part of your elaborate scheme to create your own fully functioning Cardbo, as shown by the figure resting on top.
(or: aw man nattoli totally stole my guess)
Race Queen MikuMan do I love that leek-brolly! But I'm not sold on their outfits, especially Rin's. The tiny top looks too awkward on a Nendo-body, I find, even if it weren't a loli like Rin. Miku and Luka look a little better because of the jacket/additional cover...
Walking your catGenerally, I'd agree, but a combination of domestication + the cat's own personality seems to prove otherwise now and then. One of the cats we have now, for instance, follows me and my mum around the house non-stop, her especially.
Walking your catMy mum actually used to take one of our old cats on walks all the time! She and my dad would go for walks to the park and such, and the cat would simply tag along, no leash necessary. No suddenly running off or chasing after things, either. So it's d...
Cup noodle sizesWho could eat all that? No, who am I kidding: my brother would be estatic if we could find the big size in our local stores! He eats insta-noodles (not necessarily Cup Noodles) like they're going out of style, no matter how much I repeat Yotsuba's wa...
Japanese Phone StrapsI'm impressed she can use the phone with all those straps! Me, I'd just drop it constantly, haha.
I've liked the idea of a single character phone strap or something like that, but problem is that I almost never use my phone, so I never saw the point...
VocaloidOh, and Sakine Meiko! How did I miss that? Always loved her design, so it's a real treat to see her Nendoroidized. Or however you wanna say it. (pardon the second comment - need edit, this does)
VocaloidAiiigh, I already wanted this like burning when it was first announced, no doubt about it - but even doubly so with the inclusion of Saihate Miku! Don't ask me why, I just loved the black suit/dress contrasting with the pink flower.
And we can't for...
Japan Illegal KnifeHaha, "Wolverine" doesn't look it rolls off the tongue too easily in Japanase. Uruvarin - doesn't sound nearly as intimidating, huh?
I never really thought about the specifics of laws like that up here in Canada. I figure one probably shouldn't be c...
Chara Hobby 2009S-Saihate Miku! *__* And that Reimu figma, so cool! Even if I've never played a Touhou game, darn if I don't love that design. She'd look terribly cool, flinging spell cards admist my other figmas...
Mirai FigmaShe's just darling! Where do we line up to get ours, huh? Don't see a whole lot of figures wearing a bright, cheery orange, so she'll stand out nicely on the shelf.
I'm rather fond of the winking, glasses-wearing expression, myself :D
Anime StatuesI loved all those photos near the end! I gotta agree about the UFO Catcher one with Haruhi & Co. Brilliant! I wonder if the "toys" in the machine are tiny litle trading figures, or custom made? Either way, well done!
Dunno if I see any figures in th...
7pm in Tokyo - Heading for dinnerEggplant - yummy! Mm, that gives me the idea to cook moussaka (greek dish w/ eggplant) for supper, or maybe some ratatouille!... Except that they're terribly time consuming to cook. You have to drain the water out of the eggplant first, and it takes...
Opticians in JapanReminds me that I should probably have my eyes checked out At Some Point. My left eye is okay, but unless I hold something close by, everything looks fuzzy out of my right. Pity I'm scared of doctors, gyaaa! And I look like a total dorkwad in glasses...
June ChristmasOhh! Figma Drossel! I wasn't totally sold on her design at first, but after seeing several photographs I've come to be more and more intrigued (even if I still secretly refer to her as Robo-Miku). Take lots of pictures for us, if you get the chance!...
Nendoroid Saber LilyOh, dang. My familiarity with the Fate franchise is only passing, but I still have a burning need for this figure. She's so cool looking! The hair, the face, the armour... I just gotta get this!
11 Year Old College GraduateE-Eleven?! ....Did anyone else's brain immediately wander to Chiyo-chan from Azumanga Daioh? Or was that just me?
Seems like a lot of pressure, being fast-tracked through all that education at such a young age. And imagine being so much younger than...
Japan Job BenefitsJob benefits? I... I get free coffee (or tea or lattes), I guess. And an employee disco--
Oh, who am I kidding? Nothing I say will ever live up to free toys! Double the joy, none of the calories! Or something?
YokosukaPsst... the instrument is a tuba! ^^ The years I spent in band class finally prove their worth, ho ho! (aside from making me a none-too-shabby trumpet player, I guess)
Yokosuka looks beautiful! All the greenery 'round the waterfront is very soothing...
Tokyo CinemaWhenever I'm in the theatre, I always seem to draw folks of the previously mentoned kicking-chair variety. And when I saw Star Trek (which is brilliant, by the way! go see it!), I was sitting near a couple of talkers! They chatted amongst themselves...
Yoshika MiyafujiNever seen Strike Witches, though I gotta say the airplane-legs look pretty cool! I like the alt. part with the spinning propellers, and the sailor top is cute. Not really a fan of the rest, with the sukumizu and such, though ^^;
...Since I've never...
DollpaAhh, that Card Captor Sakura dollfie in one of the earlier pictures is so cute! Can anyone recognize the base-dollfie by her face? Or is she totally custom, maybe?
And I see a Yuki Nagato in the background of the photo with all the Erikas; I wonder...
20090511 Giveaway - Your DeskOh, dangit, I don't have a desk D: I guess a little side table, but what's so interesting about my laptop and a lamp and a water bottle and whatever book I happen to be reading?
...I-Is that the ever-so-adorable goth-loli Mirai outfit I see in the b...
Dollfie Custom HeadWow! Impressive stuff! I love the more comedic expressions; kind of gives the dollfies a fun, playful, cartoony flair instead of the serious and stoic look they tend to have.
Wonder how much effort goes into making these? Ahh, making my own custom h...
Dolls PartyHaha, I know exactly what you mean, what with apologizing to the dolls if you drop their wig or somethin'. I tend to do that with all my toys, both figures and plush dolls alike; apologize for dropping them, berate them for not posing right, tell the...
Tokyo Freelance JobsIf one was to draw Mirai/Haruka for an icon, would it -have- to be pixel art? I should focus on drawing s'more, so perhaps some simple illustrations would be just the thing I need to get back on track! And when you say original character illustration...
Doll ClothesOh, now that is cuuuute <3 The laced-up front, the exposed shoulders, the ruffled hem; but for some reason it's the adorable headdress and the little blue bows that really get to me :D Are you planning on making a second and/or have a prototype desig...
20090427 Giveaway Round 2Oh, geez! I was off by 50 yen - 5,550 yen! xD; I was having doubts: "Hmm, 5,500, or 5,600? Let's go with the middle ground!" Ahh, I really shouldn't second guess myself, now I feel incredibly silly ^^; Good luck to the rest of you!
