Had some folks over from Seattle stay at our gaff and took them out n about the local neighborhood. Brought along cutie Yako Katsuragi from Majin Tantei and you can see more pics of her at the Good Smile site.

I know knowt about the anime but it seems quite a few of you were familiar when I posted a pic of the boxes the other day - is it a good watch?

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.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro was a fun watch, at least for me! It's full of crack. It does however, get a little repetitive after a while. The manga is so much better (probably beacuse it's much longer too...)

    Cute Nendo! Dunno about the anime also.
    I usually don't carry them around unless I'm planning to take some pics.
    Mainly because I pay almost 4 times the original price, so it's like walking around with svarovsky crystals... :P

    I've never taken a figure out with me, I wouldn't want t harm the plastic of paint job. If I take anything out for pictures its usually one of my Super Dollfies.

    The only time when i carry my figures with me, is the time when i bought it.
    Almost all are medium or big size (11 cm to 25 cm), so is not easy to take my figures in my bag jejeje.

    But those nendoroids are soooo cute and easy to carry with you!!

    P.D.: i never heard before about Yako character O___o

    I think I carry my dolls out more than figures, but it was fun carrying nendoroids out! :) nice to take pix of in public settings ^^ Too bad in restaurants the lighting is usually pretty bad so I don't take pix of toys/dolls with food that much ^^;

    I bring all my figmas to work with me to prep for my reviews since I have better lighting at my desk at work than at my workstation at home. Plus, you never know when inspiration will hit for something creative!

    I never carry figures with me. Why would you want to do that anyway? Besides their paint can come off or they could be damaged in other ways.
