Fujiko Mine
Hmmmmm. I just realized how bad these shots were after uploading. I wrote a batch script which uses the exif info to rotate, resize, watermark, upload and insert the gallery info into the DB so I dont really look at the photos in detail until they are uploaded ( I should really ). Compared to the Melissa pics, these look quite crap. Not too sure what it is - whether its me, the camera or the lighting. Probably me ^^; Anyway, I've uploaded the pics so may as well show em to you.
This was my first Japanese figurine that I ever got. You may recognize her as Fujiko Mine from Lupin. Got her at Sakuraya Hobby Kan down in Shinjuku 10 years ago for about 5,000 yen at the time. ten years on an shes now woth a grand total of about.....
5,000 yen at Yahoo Auction^^;
Her suit is removable and zips up to her neck and you get a 2 pairs of hands, boots and bare feet. I only took this angle because I think she looks a bit odd from other angles. If I can remember correctly, this is the first version of Fujiko that Medikom brought out. They've brought out a few more versions but the quality has been rather crap - especially the [[117.Ver2]] which was a disappointment.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
