Ohohohoho I'm back~ Connichi Convention was a big success for my little figure hunt, so you get a nice big update this time! Also, I gacha'd some figures before/after the Con: one Zelda, three My Melody and two Dragon Ball Z. But now to the big Connichi update:

First we get a big bunch of Bleach: 'Bleach The Styling' Grimmjow, 'Bura-bura su?gu' Hitsugaya and 'Chara Fortune Summer Version' Renji, Rukia, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Nel and Ichigo. Next series is Naruto: 'Gekitou Ninjutsu Emaki 2' (?) Deidara and Sasori and 'Shippuuden Nikei S Spiral Base' Sasori. The hidden L figure from the Death Note 'Real Figure Collection' (Second Hand @ bring&buy), 20cm PVC Angela-Victoire-Blendin figure from Princess Waltz, Figma's Saber from Fate/stay night, four Palm Character figures from Kujibiki Unbalance, Rabi and Alternative Allen from 'D. Gray-Man' Chara Fortune as well as 2x Kenshin and 1x Sano from 'Story Image Figure: Rurouni Kenshin' Series 1+2 and another Kenshin from the Movie (Figure series? Single figure? I got all Kenshin ones second hand in a set for just 5€).

And then, just when I was back home, a parcel from my pal Ka-chan arrived containing some souvenirs she got me in Japan: Naruto 'Chara Fortune' Kakashi + IchaIcha, normal Sasuke and transforming Sasuke =3 mucho wuvo Ka-chan!

Jup, this update got seriously delayed. Out of serveral good reasons. First: my family moved in another flat. The whole thing was decided in about... three days. So it was busy and stressy as hell. And then, it took me another good month till I had sorted everything out and managed to find a place for the scanner... Second: I waited for something to arrive that took way longer then it should:
I finally bought my first Resin Kit: Yu from the series Comic Party. You could say that it was an impulsive purchase but absolutly worth it since I really love this series and character.

Till she arrived the universe decided to give me a little present so I wouldn't be sad about the long waiting time: I won a Macross Action Figure =3 (A geman Anime/Manga Magazine had a lottery for their 100th issue. More then 300 prices and I win this xD). Kind of awesome, I wanted a mecha a while now and here it is.And, since this is the first update in more then three months, there are some more review thingies: Frist, I got two trading figures of the series Gin Tama, a trade/sale thing from www.gashapon-collectors.de that was totally worth it. And then we have: Misa from the Death Note Trading Figures, Sasuke from Naruto (Shokugan) which I bought from my Ototo (who got those twice), and a Naruto Keychain thingie I got from him as a souvenir from his Japan trip~

Also an update @ Pokemon: two new series are available at our Toys'R'Us, which I decided to try to gasha + a bunch of Italian Choco-Egg figgies (Srsly, I think I have enough Pokemans nao x_X').

New Links added - sale, search, trade updated.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AT CONNICHI (CONVENTION IN KASSEL) THIS YEAR:
Please check out the 'bring and buy' - I will sell some of my doubles (and other stuff)!

Ah I waited so hard for my new Naruto figures and now they finally arrived~ check out "Naruto - Gekitou Ninjutsu Emaki" Itachi, Kakashi and Gaara as well as "Forune Battle" Itachi. They are really worth the money I paid and the shipping time was great as well (Air mail 8 days from HK to Europe, 100% original figgies in original box). Check out the Links for the webshops (asiaphilic) URL. Also got a 1/8 figure I actually didn't think I would ever get in Austria. We only have a few comic shops, as far as I know there are also only 3 or 4 in our capital where I spend one saturday. Really, you can say I was happy to walk in the one that just had a "Genshiken Saki Kasukabe Cosplay (standing version)" Figure, and on sale too! As an big fan of this manga/anime I had to get her of course - for the ones who wonder how much "on sale" is: I paid 21 Euro for her (around 28 USD).

While waiting for my new babies, I decided that it was time to photograph and scan my italian "Kinder Surprise" anime/manga figures. I don't know how many of you know that brand but it's technically a hollow chocolate egg with a toy capsule inside. In Italy, you also get other brand eggs that work with the same principle, containing figures of just ONE series. I sometimes get these when I see one that caughts my interest/my carving for sweets kicks in. This means updates @ these series: Pokemon, Mirmo & Mermaid Melody.

On another note my order on 'Kokoro Navi: DX Aino= Pekonen 3D (Paint Version) has been cancelled by yesasia. Sometimes I just wished they would actually keep track on their sold out items (no the first time I got something cancelled cause they marked it as still available while it was long gone).

Actually, this update was meant to happen on 29th but then... I finally finished my Sai figure =D Go check it out @ finished sculpting! The whole working progress is there as well~ and there is also another small addition to the same section: I made a palm-sized mini Gaara (also Naruto) one night.

But of course there are also other figures: when I went to the Toys' R' Us to check on the Gashapon Mashines I realised that they had a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh! Pre-painted Model Kits on sale. I'm not into that series too much but these models are rather big and also not too expensive (actually I paid 2,98 Euro for each xD) so I got the two different figures they had (Sadly, there was no red dragon left). Besides that I also snatched the last 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Holo Tile' figure that was left - I payed more for much uglier Pokemon Figures ^^''' (Holo Tile was 0,47 Euro). Please also check out the sale/search/trade page, new subcategory: 'in transit' (ordered but not here till the actual update).

There isn't that much new stuff this time, I only bought two Naruto figures on a whim ^^'' Actually, it was my Akatsuki mania that made me buy a shiny new Itachi figure the second I saw it was on sale in an LJ Journal xD (Without knowing the series it came from xD My brain usually just works like that: "Shwiny Akatsuki~ don't have it yet~ buybuybuybuybuy!!!!") And hell, when they have a Tsunade as well, why not get it too!? The whole transaction worked absolutly smooth, makes me wish I had ordered these two FMA figures as well... But then, I might should concentrate on completing the Naruto series now xD

Also, I decided to add my Ojamajo Doremi Bootleg figures to this gallery - you can get them in the local 75cent shop (EU Version of the 100 yen store) but sometimes, you also find them as accessory on diverse items like lighter or purses. Mine come mostly from friends who thought it would be funny to give them to me (I don't even like that series xD).

The sale search trade page has been updated, I decided to add the information of my top priority anime series there - who knows, maybe someone comes by and is too lazy to read my whole wishlist... would be a shame if that's a person with shiny figures for sale.

Just a few days into new year's and my pre-christmas order arrived~ a full set of Naruto Ultimate Collection 2. I was really looking forward to these figures and wasn't disappointed. The size alone is already really nice (~8cm) and I finally got a Kisame Figurine and my third Itachi which really makes me happy (Me, Akatsuki shipper?! I have no idea what you're talking about *ahem*).
I also got two more DragonBall Z Figures - actually I already had one of them lying around but since it's base was missing (factory error) I didn't put it online so far. Since I decided to not try to complete that series (I got way too much doubles for my taste and the series is not that interesting after all) I now made a simple base myself. Instead of wasting money on Dragon Ball Z I will hope for the next time they refill the Gasha Mashine... especially for some Naruto or something else interesting. (I still hope for Transformers, NGE or Bleach but I doubt these wishes will be fullfilled)

And then, there was my friend Ka-chan that managed to save the whole new year with a christmas present: a Binchotan Nendroid! ♥ ♥

I hope you guys had a wonderful christmas, mine was rather okay even when it heavely lacked Gashapon xD (that's what I get from ordering figures and magazines 1 week before christmas... the postal services and shops are just completly stressed) - Today's update brings you: new links - I found a german gashapon/figure board and did add an international online store. Also, an update on the sale search trade page (additional to the small updates I've made after my last ebay auctions) and updates on my current sculpting project (which got a bit delayed again after I decided to work on a christmas present at least minute).

Waiting for the new Figures I was hard to keep away from gasha-ing when I realised that my local toy store now has 9 instead of the former 6 Gasha Mashines. Which doesn't mean that all that stuff was good, lot's of Disney once again as well as some non-gasha stuff like stone necklaces. However, my instinct kicked in when I saw they had DragonBall Z Figures. I'm absolutly not a fan of this series (it seriously started to get boring after Episode 12833453478...) but the chance for a series of 1 Euro figures was kind of tempting. I will see if I continue this series or not...

Another update comes form the Pokemon section: 1 "Candy Container" shokugan, a series which I won't continue... the painting quality get's worse with each series and is absolutly NOT worth the 3 Euro T_T - Very well worth the money was a Naruto Keychain Figure of Orochimaru I got at the 'Animagic' Convention this summer... and now he is finally online in the gallery (was about damn time). Talking about Naruto, I got a real christmas present this year. I bought the missing Naruto figure from 'Real Collection 2' second hand at this board and didn't think it would arrive this fast. However, it already was in the mail on 24th =D With this, 'Real Collection 2' is finally complete.

Oh and before I forget it: I wish you a happy new year guys~!

Where to start... there's a new category now: miniatures (so far there is only one set there, like I wrote in the info text in that section, I will only upload my favourites) - Then I finally found a list of all Pokemon (damn little critters they are), so they now all go by their original names. Talking about Pokemon, there are six new Poke figures: 2 "Candy Container" shokugans, 1 "Bobble Heads" Gasha and 3 "Greatest Bird Pokemon" Gasha. A old friend of mine also finally made his appearance: my beloved Vash the Stampede (Trigun) Action Figure. Long lost in the dark corners of my moving boxes I finally found him (Wrapped in a pink bag... what was I thinking?!)

Also, an update on my Sale Search Trade page since I recently found infos about some preorder and other 'want to have' figures (not to mention a pack of new Pokemon doubles I got -_-). Talking about pages, I fixed all that tiny little bugs on the whole website. Sorry for that, if there is still a broken link or something like that please tell me. Links were updated as well and a small update at the 'sculpting in progress' page (I got some troubles there...)
