22 Comments So many things, so little money...

I have a problem. I am running on a tight budget this month (hint: Haruhi DVDs) and Japan decided to help me with this problem by releasing all sorts of wonderful things that I would die to get my hands on. For fuck’s sake Japan! A guy can only die once, you know. Sad to [...]

The cels are created from the original data used in the anime (which is pure CG) and limited to one per person. Each one comes in an album that protects the cel and an accompanying [...]

6 Comments 1/8 Bakuretsu Tenshi Meg PVC

I missed it the first time it was released and regreted my decision, but luckily for me (and unfortunately for my wallet), Alter has recently re-released its 1/8 Meg from Bakuretsu Tenshi in all her yellow-pantsu glory.

6 Comments Zero no Tsukaima 1/8 PVC Louise

I think I’ll be placing an order for this from my usual source soon… Sigh, I hope I don’t overspend this month. I just passed ￥8,000 to Kwok last night so that he can pick some stuff up for me in Japan. He’s probably preparing to leave for the airport by now… Zero no Tsukaima [...]
