Today I took some pictures on my lightbox with my 70-210mm tele lens to see how well it does with closeup photography. Behold our tsundere princess in all her 3 figma forms!

This week the student council faces a tremendous adversary in the form of a cute, unassuming child of a wealthy family. Unbeknownst to them, her intentions in coming to the meeting are far more sinister than what appears to be mere a child taking up important official school time.

After getting my hands on an Evil Witch Nagato Figma, I was curious to see what Revoltech had to answer with in their Fraulein series. Now let's take a look at what the Revoltech Fraulein Nagato has to offer.

I must say I have taken a liking to the background characters of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. However, I didn't get this figure out of love, but rather I got it for quite a bargain. (2000 yen!) Since it was a Max Factory product, I said to myself: "why not". Its not everyday you see Max Factory's figures go for that kind of price. Hell even the figmas are more expensive.

After opening up my Chouyusha Haruhi box, I decided also to defile my Saber Lily Figma Special Edition box that comes with the Fate Unlimited Codes game that sold out weeks after its release. Since I play with my figmas, again I felt that there was no reason to keep them all sealed up in a box.

After much procrastination I have finally decided to open my Lt. Klan loliform statue from Macross Frontier. I've actually been eyeing this figure for a while. This figure actually comes from Alpha Omega, which is another break from my Max Factory/Good Smile streak. This is because they have been only been producing crappy statues and figmas lately. Not that figmas are a problem, crappy statues are though.

Yep this is a post about nothing. There are days when your mind goes blank and you simply don't have anything to write about, or you couldn't be bothered looking too far for material. Well, this is what you do when you have nothing to write about. Just make something up, or do something else. For me, I've had the chance to talk to a fairly inspirational guy known as Aroduc, and he told me to write about nothing, so I did.

This time I'm gonna review my newly opened Shakugan no Shana figma. I actually opened this at the same time I opened Hayate, but soon after I opened Hayate I was left with only an episode of Index before bedtime so I decided to postpone this post. The next few posts will be about my newfound collection of Lucky Star characters. I'm not sure how I should do those posts since there are 4 of them. I might just do them all at once now since this site is fast becoming a figma bragsite, and no longer an anime blog. However, this post would probably still matter because there are probably some of you out there who are still deciding on whether or not to spend 2500 yen on Shana.

So another box came in today and Haruhi and friends all came jumping down the side of the shelf to see who's the newcomer into the Grand Chamber. I told them to be patient and wait for me to slowly peel off this shipment document from the box, which came off surprisingly clean.
