Haul pics - 31 October 2007








Just got this set at a nearby 7-11 tonight:

Bandai Card Warrior Kamen Riders series 3 set of 5 - 399 yen per box

This third series lineup includes Kamen Rider Ryuki Survive, Kamen Rider Chalice, Kamen Rider Gatack, Kamen Rider #1, and Kamen Rider Hibiki. As usual, each figure comes with a hard Ride Monster card that can be assembled into ...








... their specific Ride Monsters, then combine with the figures to form their Super Mode.








Got the first series in February and second set in June. As cool as they look in Super Mode, I prefer them in their normal mode because the card attachments then to fall off easily every time I move them even the slightest bit. Looking forward to the next series!

Haul pics - 28 October 2007










Caution: Some pics are not work safe!

Here are the stuff I hauled back from Tokyo Toy Festival #17:

Alter Fate/Zero Saber & Irisviel PVC - WonderFest 2007 exclusive










Circle Keumaya Katai Figure 1/8 Tsubasa Amano black hair & body ver. PVC with B5 32-page KF report manga - Comiket Summer 2007 exclusive - same model as this but with black hair. Prepainted PVC figure requires minor assembly (no cement or drilling required).










Circle Keumaya Yarawaka Figure 1/6 T-X Matsura Touyama PVC with 34-page YF report manga - Comiket Winter 2006 exclusive. Prepainted PVC figure that requires minor assembly (no cement or drilling required). Figure features soft chest! Upper right corner of the box previously got wet before the purchase but the contents are clean and dry. Never taken out from bubble wrappings. Thighs need to be repainted to fix the bad paint job that got past quality control. All other parts are fine.










The first three items above will be listed up for auction on eBay after my upcoming November 10th move to my new apartment in Sano, Tochigi prefecture. Check back by the end of November or early December for the auctions!

MegaHouse Action Works Gavan with limited edition card - signed by Kenji Ohba! Not for sale, of course. It's one of my most prized possessions!

Tokyo Toy Festival #17 coverage










Got to attend my second Tokyo Toy Festival (TTF) today. It's a bi-annual event held at Tokyo Big Sight that's basically a hobby-type flea market event similar to Super Festival but with bigger stars attending for signing events.

I didn't take much photos of the event as there's really not much there that caught my eye except for the Hakaider statue from Fewture, which I really like 'cus it's sculpted by Takayuki Takeya (S.I.C. sculptor)! Wish I can afford that statue ... =_=;












Some pics of the dealer tables.

















Transformers booth at TTF with Bumblebee 1977 Chevrolet Camaro.









Mark Ryan, voice actor for Bumblebee that only had two lines in the entire movie, was one of the 'big' stars that was invited to the event to sign stuff at 3,000 yen. I'm more interested in the hawt translator/model than getting Mr.2-liner's autograph.









The true stars at the show were definitely Kenji Ohba (Gavan) and Hiroshi Watari (Sharivan)! I grew up watching Gavan but never seen Sharivan although I love the Sharivan opening song. Both were there for interviews and autograph sessions. Fans had to line up to purchase limited tickets (2,800 yen per ticket) to get their signatures and tickets for Kenji Ohba's signature were quickly sold out within the first half hour. After all these years of wishing to meet my childhood hero, I finally got the chance to shake Kenji Ohba's hand, talk to him, and got his signature on my MegaHouse Action Works Gavan figure! Now that I have his signature, my next goal is to take a picture together with him! They didn't allow any kind of photography during the autograph session.












"Jouchaku!" (henshin word for Gavan), "Sekisha!" (henshin word for Sharivan)

Haul pics - 23 October 2007









The second volume of Suntory's Final Fantasy VII 10th anniversary potion limited edition canned drinks are out! Released on 23 October, I managed to get 8 out of 16 different types from a nearby 7-11 convenience store yesterday. 200 yen per can at 7-11. They only had 8 of the 16 types with the cases they received and I plan on checking out the other 7-11 convenience stores and supermarkets this week to complete the second volume.

I got an extra can with Cloud's image to drink. Tastes just as I remembered from my first taste of the potion that comes with the first volume release last month. If anyone's getting any of the FF7 potions, don't drink them unless you love the taste of medicine and ramune.

Here's a pic of first volume's phallic bottle and the second volume side by side for size comparison.















Third volume with mini figures coming on 27 November!
