Chibi Otaku Fanboy Goes Wild!

Well just as I was about to post something simple like my desktop or a random picture or video, the mailman came to deliver a package we’ve been waiting for all month. I won’t say the store I bought it from because I probably won’t be buying from them again any time soon. I made the order on the 2nd and it just arrived today, nothing was back-ordered or out of stock either. On top of that the box was broken in half and taped shut, and appropriately marked damaged. Luckily everything inside was o.k. though so nothing to be upset about.

So here’s the contents of this package. 1 Haruhi Suzumiya wall scroll, 1 SOS brigade button, and last, although most important, a 6 inch plush Chi doll for my son, who’s been a Chobits fanatic since uh, well, probably since he was old enough to see a computer screen and watch cartoons. Yeah he’s only 4 years old but he LOVES Chi. He was the one who spotted the mailman pulling up and gasped and ran to the door frantically opening it in excitement. So, I got permission from him to post his picture up here with his new Chi. The wall scroll and button were for my wife, I’m sure she’ll post different pictures today on her blog too.

Now he wants to sit down and watch his favorite anime today. Good thing we got the complete collection lol.

Figures and Wall Scrolls

So I’m still awake at almost 1 AM and I figure I’d just throw some random photos up to get started and link you to my figure collection. I’ve only recently began collecting anime related character figures, mainly because of the discovery of Figma which I will be posting pictures of the two I currently own on here. Of course, I have to give credit to DannyChoo because if I hadn’t found his awesome site while looking for information on Japan I wouldn’t even have become a figure collector. I always admired figures when I saw them but the price and the practicality turned me off, because normal figures aren’t poseable like a figma is, and the prices are so high for something that can only sit on your shelf or desk and look pretty. Of course I will admit there are plenty of figures I’ve got my eyes on that aren’t figmas, but figmas are what I’m the most excited about. So far I have only Yuki Nagato and Haruhi Suzumiya but as you’ll see from my collection I have a few more pre-ordered. I’m really looking forward to the Miku Hatsune figma the most of all I think. Still no word on when it’ll be out though. Alright enough talk, here’s some pictures of my current collection which is just starting out.

Yuki Nagato & Haruhi Suzumiya

Also, a non-figma that you could expect from someone going by Persocom-san if you’ve any idea what a persocom is. Chobits very own Chi. You’ll have to bare with me, I’m not very talented at taking pictures of figures yet, I’m only used to shooting scenery and people, and I’m only using a digital camera. I didn’t bother photoshopping these yet to make them look better so you’re left with the raw photos. Chi on the top, Haruhi and Yuki on the bottom.

I’ll definately work on my figure photography skills more, and keep updating when I do take new pictures. I suppose now I’ll show you my small collection of wall scrolls? Recently I got sick of posters because they end up beat up and torn so easily, especially when moving. Wall scrolls are so much better because they roll up easy, don’t need tape, staples, tacks or nails in them, and the material is thicker and sturdier than plain poster paper. Wall scrolls for the win! I kept the box from one that I ordered online for storage. I only have two so far but one more should be showing up in the mail within the week.

Well then I guess that’s enough for this entry. Goodnight!
