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!).

She’s wearing the legendary waitress dress ^_^. Louise is one of my favorite character, glad that Alter made this 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 did Alter’s Eri review few months ago, and decided to take another shot of her. This time all the photos are manipulated via photoshop. There are only 4 pictures, but took me almost 3 hours to finish them :p

I love the result of this one, took me the longest time to finish this one, almost 1 hour ^^;

I received the package from HLJ yesterday, along with Haruhi figuremate gashapon. The shipment was quite fast, only 12 days :O The figure costed 4571 yen + around 700 yen shipping, so this figure costed me total around A$59. both HLJ and HobbySearch are out of stock now, so expect the price to be higher.

Below is the photo of the box

This morning (like an hour ago) when I was getting out from my flat, I saw a guy bringing 2 parcels coming to my flat. I waited for him (I’ve guessed that the packet would be my long awaited parcels :D); and it was true

One parcel from HLJ, and another one from JList. I Put the boxes inside my car then I went to work; opened those boxes while I was driving :D.

HLJ box contained 1/6 GSC Saber Holiday Dress version and Saber keychain (which I attached to my car/flat keys :D). The HLJ parcel costed me total of around A$91 (8127 yen), 16 days SAL shipping (27 days total if I count from the very 1st day I clicked process order).

JList box contained 1/6 Alter Saber white bikini. Which took me like more than 2 weeks just to find one (with japanese price and not located in US). Before I ordered from JList, I’ve ordered this one from Angolz for total A$91 (I know it was expensive, but alot cheaper compared to local shop, or US shipping cost..); But 8 days after they received my payment, they sent me an email saying that the item was unavailable anywhere (was in-stock when i ordered, but after I ordered; it became out of stock), I lost A$6 in the process of refund… Luckily at that time JList suddenly had this figurine listed but only 1 in stock, so without thinking much, I purchased this one. All and all, i’m very glad that the figurine I received is original Alter figure (good quality, at least about the same with the one in HappySoda review), with Type-Moon sticker on it. This one costed me total around A$70 (actually A$76 if I add the A$6 I lost from angolz), 13 days SAL shipping (16 days total if I count from checkout day)

Sabers! GSC Saber has its hologram infront of box, the keychain also has typemoon hologram on it o_o
