If you are a fan of Toradora, then you may well like these items that are up for reservation. First up, by Wave, a 1/10 of Taiga, ready to hit the beach with all her tsundra attitude.

Aisaka Taiga, Beach Queens

Aisaka Taiga, Beach Queens Version

Available for reservation now at Hobby Search, retail price of ¥3,800.

Next up is a nice version of Taiga where she is sporting a Chinese Dress, posing as she sits. Presumably waiting for Ryuji to show up for their date. Nicely done by Dengeki, would like to add it to my collection. This item is exclusive to Otacute so make sure you don’t miss out.

Aisaka Taiga Dengeki Limited Edition

This version sells for $104 at Otacute.

I really need more shelf space soon. Both appear to be keepers.

March is one of those months I dreaded because I just knew I was gonna be hit with multiple deliveries. Well.. it did not disappoint and I am pleased to say that I am not disappointed in the either (aside from the melted credit card). This month saw the arrival of Saber Lily by Alter, Tainaka Ritsu by Good Smile, Blu-Ray version of 1.11, Blu-Ray version of : good night sleep tight young lovers, and the sound track for the movie. Both Blu-Ray movies were great. Got to crank the volume on both and enjoy the full sound fx.

Mio Figure, originally uploaded by Danny Choo.

It seems rare these days that I get a chance to do some blogging and reading of blogs and in this case it might be a good thing. Why, you tell me… Isn’t she just to cute? Dang it Danny, you had to go and post more poison.

My UpLark version is due to arrive tomorrow and now I get hit with this one…. My only question, do I really need to eat? No release date yet. Keeping my fingers crossed it is a distant date so my credit card can cool down a bit..

An article posted on the Good Smile Company website, warns about a knock-off version of the Puchi figures that seems to be circulating. Reading through the article (using Google translate) you can piece together what makes these bootleg copies.

For a better example, here is Miku in both the bootleg and original form. The bootleg version is on the left.

January 2010 Loot

Here she is, Yui in Nendo form. Yui is my January 2010 . I was expecting a number of other items but so far most of my orders are continually being pushed back. If you are trying to watch a budget, it can be a little frustrating because you are not quite sure when it will hit your plastic.

Nonetheless, I was very pleased when I received Yui from Hobby Link. As usual, well packed in a sturdy box. Yui is still sealed today but with Spring and Summer approaching, I have hopes of bringing her as well as other out for some photo shoots. My goal is to collect both scale and Nendo versions of the K-On gang. For the most part I am focusing on Good Smile Company for the Nendos and Alter for the scale versions. (I confess, I have ordered the UpLark version of Mio) I am still waiting (impatiently) for my Nendo Mio.

I’ll post this months loot, at the beginning of next month. I’m excited about the figurines that have been delivered already… :)

So while I, like thousands of others of others were desperately try to snag the ultimate in cute Nendoroid Nakano Azusa, I stumbled on this bit on the Neko Magic blog. It appears Alter has turned their eye to Azusa and plans to relsease a version of poison just in time to kill my wallet. This is an automatic must have.

When I first saw this I was like wha?!?! But this figure grew on me fairly quickly. The attitude she exudes is obvious and is in contrast to other versions of the same Vocaloid (see below) I am not really a fan of the remake of Miku but this one I like.
