Oh woah, that's Sweetdiculious! I am envious of the huge collection and the space. I wish I have that much space to spread things out a little bit. There is nothing wrong with displaying his figure collection like that, I do that the same way. Imag...
Great article, I like how you were able to seek out/manage/utilize the opportunities in front of you; not everyone can do that. I feel inspired just by reading it. I see what you mean by the comfort zone, it's the exact situation I am in right now....
It's difficult to get light to penetrate to the lower level, I installed a Halogen lamp from Ikea at the top of my Detolf and noticed the light isn't bright enough for the lower level, got to go with the LED strip. As far as displaying my figures is...
What you want to do if you going to use the LED strip for the Detolf is to tape the LED stripe in a diagonal and run the wires up and down the steel support bar. Then to finish it off, get those Braided Expandable Sleeving made from Polyethylene Ter...
Hahaha that's pretty neat commercial, but it's meaning is not just for visual effect; it works surpisingly like flipping a switch. I think my switch was turned on in different stages in my life ever since when I immigrate from HK to U.S. I did very...
I had considered using the IKEA LED strip for my Detolf shelf but the fact that I can't hide the wires bother me a lot. A huge negative for me since I can't stand seeing the ugly wires hanging in a visible location. That's why I went with Billy boo...
It's in my opinion that those who cannot cook has no right to judge the quality of the food being served. While I don't practice cooking on a daily basis, I can various dishes given the proper recipe.
I always keep all the manual for as long as possible. It's the engineer within my prevent me from throwing anything remotely useful away because I know I will need it someday. However, it's probably a bit old fashion now that almost everything is a...
I have got a sharp tongue, being a chinese, I have to say the average chinese restaurant in chicago chinatown is about average. It takes a lot to be call extraordinary though.
Dakimakuras have really taken off in recent years and topping wallscroll as my favorite wall decoration. Actually, I had been staying off them thinking it's just too much even for me, but once I discover they can also be used as wall decoration, the...
I would never do that to my Shita Jiki ;x Shita Jiki was popular because it's one of the first few merchandise you can get in the early days before wallscroll became popular. I still have some of my earliest collection of Shita Jiki and they almost...
I actually own a custom painted version of this figure :D Procrastination is a common weakness in me, mostly related to my professional life. On the other hand, if there is a nice figure coming out, I would be first in line to preorder ;x
Neat coverage, I wonder if they do any environment testing for they figures. Like temperature humidity cycling? GSC is usually pretty good with their product, but there are bound to some leaning figures. I recently wrote an article about it in my...
I am still in search of all the mid-80s and early 90 anime. Somehow I regret not being able to watch them all, either because of school or I was too young to remember what they were. I have some success but far from reaching my goal. It's interest...
Not sure if I should get into this, first, I have no space left in my room. And somehow, the eyes don't look right to me. Sure, a 1:1 Saber would be nice, but I better not.
I have a policy that I only buy figures based on a series of either manga, games or anime that I have either read, played or watched. It's a discipline I have uphold for over 99% of the time. "Must understand where that figure came from" has made m...
That's incredible, look at those eyes, it's breathtaking. I have become a converted Dollfie fan... I am really interested in getting my hands on a Saber Dollfie, perhaps an alter version (although they seems to be a event distribution?). But what I...
Pure PVC figure would deform under high temperature (25C and above), relative humidity (40% and above) and uneven weight distribution (hello there DOA Kasumi) there is no getting around it (I have done experiment in my day job). Although it is of my...
Nendo Saber Lily isn't an instant hit for me, may be it's just me that been starring at distant Avalon as wallpaper since last month. Something about this one really bug me, and I can't pin it down why. I am not a big Nendo fan to begin with, but t...
I find myself being strangely influenced by the "add-on" figures, I have an uncontrollable urge to buy the 1/4 Ryoko Asakura Bunny Girl Ver. PVC by Freeing now... arghhhh >.< self destruct.
Alright, Gift Saver arrived and I am going to retract my earlier statement. The anime style face is decent, not as good as some of the other saber figures out there but it's definitely ok, the realistic face turns me off and was removed immediately....
