Metal Gear Solid 4 Girls

Metal gear solid 4

These are cute ^^. Who knew that the “MGS4 guys” could look so good as “MGS4 girls lol. You can look at and buy them on the Konami style website. They come as a set that you can order reserve online for 2940 yen. The release date is set for the end of the year on December 11, 2008. You get the girl versions of Snake, Raiden, Ocelot, and Otacon. I think my favorite is Raider due to the crazy yet cute hair she’s sporting, plus her clothes are sweet ^^. Does that make me weird ^^;;;?

Kamikita Komari

komari

I have no name, if you must call me something call me “AS.” I’m a mercenary, my skills go to whoever can pay me the most, cash preferred ;P. All I know is the mission and I always finish my mission, guaranteed. I have no attachments with my client or my target, it makes it impossible to do the mission if I do. My next assignment came to me in a package in my mailbox as I stepped out of my home while drinking my morning coffee. After looking through it I was a bit surprised by the new target, it was the prime ministers daughter in the country that I lived in. Along with the pictures of the new target was a receipt showing my payment, which was higher than usual, most likely because it was a political job. With a shower and shave I left home to take on my new assignment. Decked out in my black suit with my equipment in a black suitcase in my hand I got into my sports car then drove off into the cold morning.

Japan Loot 2008

Japan loot 2008

Wish I could have bought more xD

Any otaku that goes to Japan needs to head over to Akihabara (if you’re in the Tokyo area that is :P) and that is exactly what me and my brother did when we visited Tokyo. The streets were crawling with otaku, more male than female :P. Stores rising to the sky with floors of otaku goods that range from trading cards to ero pc games :P. I visited all of them ^^, for research purposes only :P. Some building were dedicated entirely to arcade games/photo booths/UFO Crane Catchers. It’s a place every otaku should visit once in their life, maybe twice if you want to score some limited edition stuff :P.

Fanime 2008 swag

Fanime loot

I like the neck strap, it was very comfortable xD

Although I was only at Fanime for one day, actually 5 hours and 2 of those hours were spent in lines to get into the convention ^^;;, I was able to enjoy the dealers room and artist alley where I managed to acquire some swag. There were lots of dealers and artists, you can take a look at the rooms here. The dealers room looked like it consisted mostly of figure sellers that took half the room (they were spread out throughout the whole room), lolita clothing/clothing took 1/4 of the room, and the other 1/4 consisted of people selling Japanese snacks, bags, games, manga, cells, etc. Read on to see all the swag I bought.

Loot from Kawaii Kon

Kawaii Kon Loot

I’m really into lolita if you couldn’t guess by my most recent post ;p

I know its been a while since I last posted ^^;;. I’ve been busy with school, work, life (big change in life, a very positive one ^^) and the blog has been last to do, especially with finals coming up. So I’m happy to have time to share pictures of my loot from Kawaii Kon. I think I’m going to buy art and maybe a figure from now on :P. I’m not really interested in pencilboards, dvds, towels, hug pillows (yes, there were hug pillows this year xD), doujin (I bet many of you thought I would buy some ^^;;), etc. I like art, the way you still get to see your favorite character but drawn in a way that makes them distinct but recognizable. Figures are awesome, 3D representations of your favorite characters to admire on your desk or shelf and (click if you dare) hopefully thats it >.<.

Figure collecting and you

Flame Haze Shana

Shana demands you to tell her why you like her, is that a turn-on for you ^^;?

There is something that’s been on my mind when I look at my figures, “Why do I buy them?” ^^. I wonder if those in the figure collecting community or others that have an interest in figures themselves would like to give their own answer to that question. There are many reasons why I’m a collector but I would like to know why others collect them. Is it because of the detail on a figure? A anime character made 3D? A decoration (which is much more interesting than a vase lol ;p) for the home?
