My Internet has been down for 5 days now waiting my new ADSL 2 to connect. I can only online either from the office or stealing my neighbor very slow wireless connection ^^; so in the mean time, I’ll put on small post regarding my wish list from the just ended summer 08 Wonder Festival ^^

Ryu Meifeng from the Shuraki series. She’s the second Shuraki released by Good Smile Company (see the first Shuraki here). Her voice in the drama cd is voiced by Iizuka Mayumi.

She’s currently my favorite Shuraki from five Shurakis released so far love her expression and her pose, and she has very nice custom base too

Akatsuki Mishiro from the Shuraki series. She’s the first Shuraki released by Good Smile Company. For you that unfamiliar with Shuraki series: the series is original series, without anime / manga behind it, released as figurine, together with a drama cd and an artwork booklet (which explains the name Shuraki Trinity). The drama CD seiyuu for Akatsuki Mishiro is Koshimizu Ami

Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, made by Enterbrain. This one is the younger Yoko version (approx 14 years old they say.. but no 14 years old have this kind of body O_O). This figurine is 1/7 scale, but actually she’s closer to 1/6, her height is 27cm (10.63″) from hair to feet, or 34cm (13.38″) from the tip of the sniper to her feet, she is HUGE!

I didn’t expect that this figurine will be this good, since I don’t really trust Enterbrain quality, but I’m happy that she’s done beautifully.

This is the first time I put more than 30 images for 1 figurine, so enjoy

Reinforce Zwei (or Reinforce 2) from Nanoha Strikers, made by Alter. This figurine is cute, cuter than the anime version and I think the scale is around 1/1.5 (for you who doesn’t know her: She’s small!).

Asuka Bunny, from Sega. There’s actually 2 version of this figurine, this red version, and red/black version. I wasn’t sure about the quality so I only bought one, and she’s my 1st Sega prize figurine.

Happy 1 year anniversary otadesho.com.

一年の記念日おめでとうotadesho.com !

Today, 16th January 2008, marks 1 year since I posted my 1st post in this blog. This blog name wasn’t otadesho.com at that time, it was otaku@melbindo.com (since it was hosted in my other domain melbindo.com ^^). I moved the blog to dedicated server and name it otadesho.com on the 1st May 2007 :D.

I want to give my thanks to all readers and fellow bloggers (too long to list ^^), and especially to HappySoda that inspired me to do figurine photograph (and blogging it).

I’ve been looking this figurine back in July, but gave up, no online store sells this one.. but finally I manage to get this figurine. This figurine was released at the end of June 2007, together with the white version, both are limited version. HLJ, or hobby search never have this figurine =\. I bought this figurine at K-Books in akihabara, few weeks ago. Her original price is 6825 yen, but the cheapest I found in akiba was at K-Books which was 10500 yen, there are only 2 shops sell her, the other one sell her for 12000 yen.

This figurine is quote old, it was released on 2005 (oldest figurine compared to previous figurines I reviewed ^^), and also a bit dusty because I don’t put her inside detolf ^^.

Chika and Miu from Ichigo Mashimaro, meido loli kawai figurines :p!

They are actually sold separately but it’s better for me to have them together as one figurine review set ^^ this figurines are non scale figurines, but I believe their size is around 1/7 (maybe larger, because they are kids, and kids tend to be smaller in size ^^). Each of them come with table, sofa, and an empty ice cream glass.

Went to EB games in chadston and found out that they are having 50% sale on all of their figurines, They only sell 2 anime figurines, one is this one and the other one was spike from cowboy bebop. Bought this 1/8 Rei & Asuka evangelion figurine for only A$37.5 (about 3600yen). And yes, this is not a bootleg.

It’s been a week since my last post, and this one is going to be the longest post so far :D. This is my rant about the availability of authentic anime figurines in here, Melbourne (Australia). There aren’t many shop that sell official anime figurines, and if they do, the price is quite expensive, about double than the original price.

The only shops that I knew sell authentic figurines are Minotaur, EB Games and Hobby Japan (not related to Hobby Link Japan/HLJ). Other shops are selling mostly bootlegged figurines….
