Glad you don't care that they're blurry. Honestly, it doesn't bother me either but it's so annoying and difficult to get a good shot; the camera only focuses on one point. Hopefully I can get my dream camera soon.

So what's new with you?

Added pics Ash! You better like them. They're blurry so don't complain! JK. Enjoy.

I will try to take pics and add them to the review. I can't promise they'll be amazing (not that my pictures ever are).

Hey Ash. Huit is 3,500 at AMiami. Just thought I would let you know.

Sorry I didn't take pics but I hope you still enjoyed reading my review. Also I posted a link on Clalaclan's page you're going to be in awe once you see it.

Your reviews are awesome whether I like the figs or not. Hey did you see Osiris' Menace? it's painted and looks awesome.

Thanks for the link! looks like its time to indulge in some interesting material, I have to say that I'm a sucker for anything romance oriented, not completely focused on that theme mind you, but having it incorporated well into an anime or manga with a different genre, like having an adventure oriented anime that has a solid romantic backdrop. God, I'm confusing you aren't I?

I can understand your appreciation for the figure, after all she is a beautiful piece to practically any onlooker, whether they know her origins or not; speaking of which I don't know much about Houkago Play except that its a collection of short humorous strips between a couple, lots of people have been recommending I take a gander at it. Is it really good? because I feel that I'm being drawn to its figures as of now ha ha.

I'll have you know you're prodding the corpse of a hollow man! Ah, well I think I'm probably going to get her around Mid or late December, even the possibility of receiving her in January exists, I know that her glory is now being fully unloaded upon the masses as we speak, but I've been around the waiting game before is its not really a large predicament. Those Garrance pic of yours make me dawwwwww inside like a child whose just made friends with a lost puppy, the cuteness of it all. Oh, my,my, my Ms. Girlfriend is it now? The styling on her hair is amazing though I have to say that the figure itself looks a bit........well stiff, but don't let this senile fool jinx you, she will be worth it!

Thank you for becoming a member of the Leaf/Aquaplus club!

I see you got a couple of new figures on order. Will you review them? Have you seen Hlj's count down thing? You think it'll be a sale? If so, hopefully Morrigan will be dirt cheap. I'm gonna be ready.

I missed kodos review of her but i just looked it up Sanya looks very cool but she is now sold out on hobby search so it looks like i missed my chance to get her again >_<

AshlotteOni...

Yes my goal on tsuki board is to make every figure collecter poor by listing as many sales as posible ;)

Nice you got Sanya and Nia 2 very cool figures i was hopeing to get Teana and Tome Kei Skit Scooter but by the time i got home from work they were sold out T^T

PS : pleeeeease do a review of Sanya when you get her ^_^

Here is finally the English version of Mercedes review link =)

No prob! And sorry for my lazyness, I'm still working on an English version of my review =P
It's a good figure if we can forgive its flaws, but certainly it isn't on Alters' Gwendolyn level.

AshlotteYou'll have to forgive me for my impatience I ran your blog post through a translator real quick to see what you said. :p

Yes Ingway doesn't deserve having his eye poked out by her bow haha...mmm but yea you raise some good points about her. I still think I'll get her if I see her on sale for sure though even with the flaws. ~_^

Still looking forward to the English one because as we know online translators aren't exactly the most precise thing in the world!

AshlotteI know your gonna be getting Ymir right? :p
Yes I will!!!! XD

I also think that the romanizations for "Yuitto" and "Vante" are "Huit" and "Vingt" respectively. That's how they appear in the links addresses in the official homepage. I was trying to find if there's any reason behind the names or if they really mean 8 and 20 in French.

However, it might be better to wait for the release of Vante/Vingt's figure by MegaHouse since most of their releases have the character's name romanized in the box...

Sure Ashlotte, I'll write one for our figure board.

Ashlotte
I don't suppose you could write an english version of that review here Kamu >_>

As far as I know noone's said much of anything about Yamato's version of Mercedes yet as far as the english speaking community goes... :(

AshlotteEh tightening the old Belt...Since I haven't been getting many figures lately it's given me some time to look at the ol' collection and figure out just what it is I really enjoy having. ~_^

Just trying to stick to either Mecha Musume or characters that I really know and love...Sadly while the song is great you can't say much more about WiM Miku other then she's the 1# Princess haha. :p

Plus I'm hoping Max Factory will say something about that awesome Miku they showed abit back...I think one rendition of her is enough for me heh.

That's good. It's always good to save money. I hope you're happy with your collection as a whole. I honestly have no regrets on the figure's I've bought.

Staying focused is good. Right now for me figures are my number one hobby. Then it's pencil boards.

You and me both. I'm very interested in Max's Miku. It's too good!

AshlotteHey Fiwa since your the guru at this mind if I ask do you have any idea why Ymir's name gets spelled so many different ways? I was thinking of changing all her entries to the name "Ymir" since that's whats printed on her figure boxes and makes more sense as her real name seeing as it's a reference to dwarves from Norse myth.

Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that "Ymir" is the official romanization since that's how it was published in the "Official Navigate Book" for the anime. It's also spelled in this way in the anime homepage.

And I also think "Ymir" feels more "dwarvish"!

Hey Ash, what's new? I see you cancelled World is Mine. Why?

AshlottenekomagicHello everyone! I'm new here and just want to say Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to share pictures here?
I want to share some of my QB figure photos but I don't know how. =(

Ah ya gotta be an Admin or Mod to add figures or photos to a club. >_<

I'm sure if you ask them they can add them for you.

Oh, ic ic. It sux. =P

AshlotteOh I finally got graced with a comment you Aion addict. :pPfft. I'm disappointed to hear you gave up on it so fast. =P

AshlotteWhich shot was yours in the contest btw I wanna know. ~_^Well, there is a figure that's only listed as owned by me and one more user. I thought it would be obvious that this was my picture, but I guess that wasn't the case. ^^:

AshlotteYou finally show up here eh GGT? :p

Well I hope you enjoy your time here!

<---- Kimichi btw...Mmm probably should change my commenting name on the site...ah well.

Hey Kimichi! Wassup!!
Haha. Just registered couple days ago and it took me so long to add the figures in my figures list and I'm still not done yet. XD

AshlotteJust got my copy of Otacool that reminded me how jealous I am of your room... T_T

Have the shelves filled out more since you took those shots?

They really filled allot more

All my Japan loot isn't in those shots

AshlotteLestterAshlotteBlurry, but still nice...Yay for shadows. ~_^

Thanks Ash. You're always so supportive. I'm looking into getting a new cam and have looked at some Canon ones and the cheapest is $500+. Who knows... I just want a new camera.

Wish I could offer advice on that, but I've got about zero idea whats a good camera and what isn't. >_>

That's okay. I have an uncle that knows a thing or two about cameras hopefully he can help me out.

Guess what? Red came today. I'm happy with Toyslogic. Figure arrived safe and very well packaged. First time I order from them. Might consider them in the future. Some people dislike them; I wonder why?

kumasanmkAshlotteOk I bite kuma what is Yuno doing in your avy...Trying to remember what scene this is and failing. >_>
Sorry, I can't either remember ^^;
Well, seems I have to watch this masterpiece again... bah, this final fact does not bother me at all!
I'm watching it again and... This scene is in the first episode of x365. Yuno is late to her entrance exam. She is running without moving waiting at a train crossing and saying "Mo~".

AshlotteLestterI was aactually hoping to use the flowers I used for Saber on Red. Sadly I don't think they'll last. Thy're already withering. I actually want to shoot outside. If I do it'll be my first time.

Shooting outside can be fun...weather depending ofcourse...I say it's worth the experience. :p

I think I will. I'm gonna see if my brother's girlfriend can lend me her camera as mine really sucks. But hey its given some great shots. Atleast I think it has. I'll have to be extra careful not to drop her that would be devastating.

AshlotteLestterThanks for the comment regarding my pic Ash. I really like flowers. Like I said in the pic reply. They're are super vibrant in person and the photo does them no justice. Saber Lily and Yoko are difficult to photograph. They're poses are great but in my opinion just don't translate well into photos so I try to get other angles (in Yoko's case). Also Saber's skin becomes translucant at times which is weird. Don't worry though I'll try to get creative when I shot Red.

Haha no flowers is fine I like flowers was just making an observation. :p

Heck if ever their was a figure who'd be appropriate for flowers I would think Red would be it. ~_^

AshlotteLestterYou got Nile! Can't wait for your review on her. I think my next review is going to be Little Red Riding Hood by Alter/ Happinet.

God your fast just got her today...stalker... :p

Yea making dinner then gonna get working on it afterwards...Red is a nice choice though she looks so cute!

What? It's not my fault. I just happened to go to your profile and noticed she was off your ordered figures list.

Yeah Red is nice I don't know why I like her she's just different from the rest in terms of style. She's unique.

You got Nile! Can't wait for your review on her. I think my next review is going to be Little Red Riding Hood by Alter/ Happinet.

AshlotteAh thats sad to hear...I've heard of countries that open your packages before and it always amazes me that they could have so little regard for your own property...Glad it sounds like they didn't damage the figure itself though. ~_^

Yeah, the figure is okay.

The sender also made a blunder. He used a box of some kind of electronics equipment and he described the contents as "yahoo 5648"! No wonder the package had to be opened...

Well, what's done is done.

AshlotteOk I bite kuma what is Yuno doing in your avy...Trying to remember what scene this is and failing. >_>

Just looking through your preorders and wow you're getting both nanohas! I like both but te cost of one is enough for me. ^^ And you're getting Rafale. I love the design and the detailing on her armous but alast, shes a bit too voluptuous to me. You're so lucky to have Narika. I dont think shes findable anywhere anymore. Ilove her new colours, they are so warm.

Yeah......emo ranka was sort of the reason Michael got killed by Vajra in the first place, so I see what you mean. All she had to do was sing her song with a smile on her face and an entire disaster could have been avoided and a particular happy ending could have been secured, but hey, I won't hold that against her it made the story more riveting after all.

AshlotteThere ya happy now ya bastard...I was blissfully happy in my fantasy world ignoring how much I disliked her and you made me go and review her..... :p

Actually, yes, I am very happy. And I'm glad you finally faced your dislikes about her and marked them down for everyone to read. If you think she's everything you say she is I believe and trust your words and opinion. I think people will think twice before buying her; I know I will. I don't want to deal with the stress you mentioned of cast offing her and then putting it all back. She looks nice in pics so I'll leave it at that.

Love the new signature.
Garance Kitutehu is awesome.
Really underappreciated figure.
u r ma bro

Oh so you had a certificate? That's cool.

I really like how "you" come through your reviews. Right off the bat I can tell it's your review by your style. I hope your library of reviews grows insanely large.

So you write at night. Wow. If I were up all night writing I would panic knowing everyone's asleep while I'm still awake.

BTW, thanks for favoriting my pic. I honestly think people don't get it. The abs and body sculpt were my main focus in that one. Maybe you could lick her abs if you had her LOL! (First time I write "LOL")

Sounds cool I'll be looking forward to Nome's short but sweet review.

I actually remember Nile a while back. I'll still read your review on her once you get around doing it. Did you get her on sale? How many reviews have you written so far? You're on fire. Where do you get the time to write them. I barely managed to squeeze Guernsey in. I have to admit it was damn fun writing her review. I really enjoy writing and writing reviews keeps my writing skills sharp or at least I think it does.

Don't worry if someone gives you crap I'll defend you. Well if you don't want to review her its okay but I honestly had the impression you really liked Nome. Is there something wrong with her? I really like her but I want to find her on sale somewhere but hihgly doubt that'll happen.

A bit off topic but something that has always annoyed is when people "review" a figure and only have a paragraph of content. I can't help but feel cheated and fooled into clicking on the link.

So which one are going to review is it a surprise?

There could be a million reviews of Nome but if they can't be as honest as yours in terms of pointing out flaws then they're not really useful to me atleast. Don't get me wrong I also appreciate the good points of a figure but I want to know what's also wrong with it. I've noticed people who review figures tend to take too many photos and foget about content. Here Tsuki board gives you the opportunity to use words to describe your figures good and bad points pics to me are just a plus to make the review look nice. So like you said think about it. Whatever your deicision I'll be fine with it.

I read Yamamoto is your last review until December. However, you might consider requests. I was wondering if you're not too busy, maybe you could review Sheryl Nome? I'm quite infatuated with her at the moment especially since I love Megahouse. If you can review her that would be great but if you don't want to that's fine too. So just consider it okay?

BTW Yamamoto's review was awesome. I can tell she's a favorite now.

AshlotteHaha is the Avatar really that distracting?
Yes, it is ;)
By the way, who is the character ?

Just had to stop by to say I love your profile and forum avatars!! So cute. ^^

So the dame's name was Orime huh? I remember that part where Rance was using a "back approach" with her, then just when you thought things were going great and all.......HAIR SURPRISE!!!!!! it was especially hilarious to see his hands pushing the jaws back in an attempt to save himself from being mauled.

AshlotteHaha Yuuka thanks its nice to hear some actual critique...Pretty much everything you pointed out are all bad habits of mine stretching all the way back to childhood so I doubt they'll get fixed anytime soon sadly. I can still remember my teachers constantly on me about punctuation and their/there. >_>

Not to mention my huge abuse of ellipses, which started from being around people online who used them and these damn smilies I always put in constantly. >_<

The whole mashing words together thing is one of the only items in that list I'm consciously aware is wrong when I write it, but for some reason it just looks so much better that way to me even though I know it's wrong.

aswell as well
ofcourse of course

Ewww spaces...sometimes I'll do it like "as-well", which I guess is a good enough compromise.

Heh!
Laughed at the end how you're trying to weedle out of it by chucking in a hyphen; very nice!

But no; I do think it's a good review and everything is there...
..It's just that I like to focus on the negatives. That way you know exactly how far the flaws stretch; this is the mentality I'll be sticking to when(/if) I start doing some reviews (",of course!").

Hahaha, well you have to be patience with these "old figure hunting". It's a world of greedy sellers, huge prices and broken wallets xDDD. But after a great patience, an investigative process and hard times of negotiacion you'll get your reward ^^ .

Nice you order Seira-tan. I'm really tempted to order her. But now i'm hunting old figures that is more difficult to find. Also Ryomou Yamashita is make me eyes xD.

Ashlotte

Sorry was slightly grouchy from almost falling off my roof taking a shot of something. >_<



O_o i hope your ok and did not hurt yourself but i just have to ask what were you taking a picture off on your roof

Oh and i did a small review of seras
