Wonfes Figma Wish Listing

Arg! So there’s a ton of previews of upcoming figures all over the place and I’ve been saving pictures of them like mad and dreading how much I’m going to end up spending in the near future. I really have become addicted to figma. So first up on the list is of course, Miku Hatsune figma. I saw a preview picture of her at DannyChoo.com quite a while ago and I’ve been holding off getting all the other Miku figures that were released so far because that’s the one I want the most. I am considering the nendoroid though.

Of course, Miku is at the top of the wish list right now, but they’re also releasing Rin & Len Kagamine, two other vocaloids. Rin looks really great in my opinion and I’m probably going to end up getting Len too just because of the keytar (and cuz I’m a sucker for figma). I used to mess around making electronic music, so the Vocaloid program really appeals to me. Maybe if I could get my hands on the program I’d start making music again…


Since I’ve already ordered Nanoha and Fate figmas, it should come as no surprise that I’ll be pre-ordering Hayate Yagami as well, from the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS anime (first seen in A’s). She looks amazing. I’m not going to get her just for the sake of completing the collection either, just look at her! Must get!

Alrighty, moving on. Next up is Ryoko Asakura from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This picture doesn’t show but there was a picture from Megami magazine on DannyChoo.com a while back that showed she comes with a knife accessory. If you’ve seen the anime it makes sense. The scene between Yuki Nagato and her was one of my favorite in the whole series, so expect I’ll be getting that and attempting to re-enact the scene as best I can. I really do have sucker written on my face don’t I?

Now we have Tsuruya-san. She played a pretty minor role in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but she’s a fan favorite. This is where I pretty much just straight up say I am a sucker, and my wife loves the anime and all the characters, so I’ll most likely end up buying this one just because.

Alright, to finish up my new additions to my wish list we have Miyuki Takara from Lucky Star. All the other Lucky Star girls have either been released (Konata Izumi), or have been available for pre-order for some time now (Kagami & Tsukasa Hiiragi). I must say I’m looking forward to the OVA that’s coming out soon.

Oh yeah there’s a LOT more figures that aren’t figma that I really really love, but with this many to buy and me still being new to collecting, this will hurt my bank account enough! There were a bunch of other figmas but they didn’t call out to me, at least not yet. I don’t know anything about this figure yet, but it’s Miku Hatsune, and it is freaking adorable! This will be going on my wish list too. Not all wishes come true though, so we’ll see.

Of course, these are all just my newest additions to the list. There’s a few others that I’m hoping to get that aren’t really new news. Well that’s all for this post, may your bank accounts drain slower than mine!

Hatsune Miku shirt arrival!

Well I just went to check my mailbox and found a pleasant surprise! I had ordered a Hatsune Miku t-shirt from J-List about a month ago I’d say, and they told me soon after my order that due to conventions they were all out and the shirt was on backorder. Well it’s here now. My very first “anime” shirt. Previously 90% of my shirt wardrobe was band t-shirts, and I had been looking through my closet in disgust at how boring that really is. Sure I love music, and Miku is technically a music program herself, but when I saw the shirt I had to have it. I think it was $18.95, + around $2-3 shipping and handling, which wasn’t bad at all. I’d spend around the same amount at the mall for a band t-shirt. Anyways here’s a couple shots of the shirt ^^

Yeah in the first picture there’s a complimentary package of tissues that came with the shirt. I guess J-list does that with all the orders. Keep them for cleaning my figma? *shrug*

So what is anime to me? You could say anime is my anti-drug quite literally. A lot of anime actually affects me as a whole, for instance “Welcome To The N.H.K.” snapped me out of my unhealthy obsession with online gaming, just at the time when I was getting bored of it anyways, it also made me realize how much of a shut-in I had become. Sometimes I still play online games but I don’t let them suck me in and tune out the rest of the world. This is only one of many issues addressed in this anime but it’s an example of the impact it had on me.

I’d like to share a quote by Dr. Seuss that I think applies to people quite well, related to the subject of how you are perceived by others – “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” This is especially true about those who criticize others about the things they like. If you don’t like something you don’t need to blatantly bash people about it, negativity only breeds more negativity. And now I’ll finish on a positive note. Here’s a picture that I really like because I’m a husband and a father. Parenthood really changes a person’s perspective.

Dango family from Clannad. My son adores the song and the animation to the ED, so here it is for your viewing pleasure. He even draws dango outside with sidewalk chalk! 🙂
