Thanks.. I'm making a trip to Japan soon so I hope I can find the ones I'm missing (and Revoltechs. And Transformers. And Macross stuff. And Gundams. And SOCs)... I'll get it from those guys if I can't find them there...

As for getting figures...

Kick. Ass.

Not too sure about that singer/idol girl though... Meh, she's an EX set anyway.

 

Singer girl is the ultimate lolicon's dream  
I have to admit she's cute, but really not my thing (I didn't like those idol shows).

I like Yda, but wonder how she'll balance all that machinery while standing... oO

 

And she doesn't look like a butterfly at all, that bow/wing thing on her butt is much too small and too low for that.  

 

Hmm. Ach111es. I don't think Yda010 spells anything, though.

Aw hell, I probably shouldn't be spending the money but Ach is awesome, and she'll need someone to race.  

Edit: Hahaha, I meant to use the   smiley there. Slightly different connotation.

Edit again: HOLY CRAP check out the rotatable photo for Schmetterling, first button under her picture on the left. Her stuffed animal thing has a radiation warning on the back of its head. I think it might be an atomic bomb.

 

Sweeet I should be in Japan by the time those are released.. I'm getting Ach and Yda for sure... I don't really know about the other one though... I don't even have the courage to remove Ianeira from her box yet <_<

 

does anyone know where I can still get eukrante outside of Ebay? BBTS doesn't have her listed and hlj is backordered into the next decade. I really want the awesome purpleness to be my busou shinki.

Thanks in advance.

 

I ordered mine through e-bay, couldn't find her anywhere else.

 

Mao Chao just got usurped.  

Singer girl is very...pink.

O RLY? *Looks again*

Okay, so she DOES have offensive capabilities... (if we don't count the singing)

 

Dila, I'm still waiting for that outtake picture of Nemy and Arnval's fight! XD

*lurks patiently*

 

I wonder what her other accessories are. She looks kind of light in content compared to previous ex weapon sets, so I'm guessing she has more accessories. The lack of coverage from her shirt is disturbing. She's almost got a naked apron look going on.

You know what would totally break the loli barrier? If they put electronics in her mic that played a song about how much she daisuki's her onii-chan.

 

Throw in a one piece swimsuit, bloomers, a sailor fuku, and there you have the ultimate loli action figure.

I dunno, I'm having this idea to do a huge outtake of the entire cast of Fun-ness instead. But I'd need more characters...

 

Her licking a Popsicle or sticking on into her mouth with slightly teary eyes. ... Oh sh-- I shouldn't be this knowledgeable in this area... *runs away*

Do eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt Makes me wonder if you've got other Shinkis tucked away, not yet introduced into your strip.

 

Comes with being an otaku.

 

XD Not an otaku, but you tend to gain that kind of knowledge and 'wisdom' after staying in Japan for a while...

 

Really? I thought the otaku culture, while prevalent, is generally shunned by the majority of the populace in Japan?

 

  You know, if it were truly, TRULY shunned, we wouldn't get harem animes? Hentai and such? Or nice little hints going on in anime shows like Kodomo no Jikan almost advertising lolicon-ness... Otaku culture, however frowned upon, is part of Japan's culture, so you really can't get away from it unless you lived on some remote mountain in the countryside.

 

Last off topic post, I promise. I used to kinda like all that moe/harem stuff, but I'm sick of it. I wish shows with good stories, without all the obvious otaku pandering were less of the exception than the rule. I'm not against the occasional well integrated fanservice, but don't treat me like some horny bastard who can't go three minutes without seeing a panty shot, tsun-dere, accidental breast grope, women with 2 feet long cleavage, accdental yuri, 11 year old girl being naively inappropriately affectionate...etc /end rant

Maybe I should just be happy only liking two to three series a season. Leaves time for games, toys, and oh yeah work.

PS:

I see your teary eye'd popsicle and raise you a licking vanilla ice cream cone while smudging it all over her blushing embarrassed face.



PPS: I'm so sorry.
