Haven't got much into figures yet (girlfriend won't let me), but from what I've seen, non-articulated ones do tend to just look better. On the other hand, I loved playing with action figures when I was a boy, and nowadays one of my favorite things ab...
@D_Blade: Indeed, I imagine some of these tiny dressed-up dog owners are probably using the poor creatures as an object for a sort of possibly unhealthy attachment. While I suppose it's not really so bad in some cases, I hear a lot of puppies around...
People in Taibei love tiny little handbag dogs, and love even more to dress them up. Some of them look utterly confused at the toys they've become, while others are oblivious to the humiliating status they've been reduced to. As for the matter of po...
I first encountered Japanese culture studying Aikido when I was a boy, and it's been with me ever since. (Never thought I'd get so into Gundam though.) As Danny noted, I think that honest responsibility and diligence are admirably strong characterist...
New layout looks excellent, and I especially like the dynamic selection of different images for each category's icon. Definitely a few things look a little out of place in Safari, but I'm confident they'll be straightened out in no time. Keep up the...
So many lovely Yokoses... How to choose? I may like that one sitting on her scooter best. That Simon in the shiny Lagann is also excellent. Any info on that one?
Ah, and if my eyes do not deceive me -- and (perhaps with Danny as my witness) they do not -- that's the foot and tail of Lazengann sticking into that first picture. Oh, rapture! Don't suppose there's any more info on that one?
The "silvery thing's" name gives the show it's title: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, the ultimate iteration of Simon's ganmen. That Gurren Lagann figure (not the silvery one) must have been the "great impact" (as in great impact into your wallet) one, r...
Valentine's doesn't seem to be a big deal here in Taibei. I think there's one restaurant in the night market offering free chicken soup to couples or something to that effect.
Some lovely acquaintances you've got there, and quite attractively dressed. No. 62 on the List of Things I Never Thought I'd Actually See, stormtrooper dancing with cheerleaders, crossed off. Danny broadens our horizons every day.
Traipsing around Taibei in my regular clothes (black, tall boots, gambler hat) gets me a fair few looks, so I can relate; even so, I've never been completely surrounded. Must get difficult to get around. ... Then again, that's why Danny's wearing sto...
Just trying to imagine oneself as one of all those visitors makes one feel small. The soul of your site is clearly not pulled down by gravity, Danny. Keep up the good work.
I'm quite particular about what I wear as well, and while I usually hate the idea of having to wear something other than what I've chosen myself, at the same time I recall not feeling at all bothered by having to wear a silly bright-colored gown at m...
