Nendoroid More: Suction cup Stand endurance test

Nendoroid More suction cup and clip stands

Good Smile recently released a clip stand to work with your nendoroids. That's great because nendoroids always fall over with the terrible stands that come with them and even the newer revision ones are not so hot. 

however, all that is now alleviated as your characters can now fly through the air!

The stands come in many different colors, including the new orange.

Why did they not make a BLACK stand, first? I don't know... I guess the Japanese like Pink which is similar to the color fish cake in their Ramen...

These clips are designed for nendoroids though they come with different adapters and can work with figmas. However, the fit is really tight and might even be damaging, so use with caution and at your own risk.

The cabinet above is made of wood and Akemi's total air time was.... about 5mins... Then, she fell down, plop. So, here we go folks! I have now stuck Puella Magica's Akemi Homura Figma onto a more suitable flat and pristine surface, the side of my computer case!

How long will Akemi's flight time be? Only time will tell! 

See you in a week!

Penguin Parade Petitkko

These are really cute. They are smaller than a nendoroid and highly detailed. Sadly, they are not very popular. It could be the MSRP price was too high, at around 2700¥ that is more than some nendoroids.
Sometimes these are called petitko, puchikos, pettankos, puchimas, so many different brands out there now.

The blue one, Cecilia Alcott, is the rarest but can be easily found though you may have to pay double.

Alot of these are on sale at various online distributors so check them out in your favorite store's sales section.

Too many Figmas in this world!

The holiday shopping season is over, but for some reason I just wouldn't know it. I got at least 5 orders coming from japan and they are mostly boxes full of figmas!

Why figmas? I just don't know. Maybe because they are sleek and slim? Usually they capture the characters qualties well? (not *cough* figma kuroneko *cough*) Or maybe there are just too many generic nendoroids going around. Yes, many nendoroids are generic, they don't even use the correct character facial expressions anymore. Why would you make a nendoroid of an angry character and not include with it an angry face... I just don't understand what some people are thinking. 

Interestingly, I don't own a PSP!

but that's Ok, because I seen all the video game footage on youtube... lol. 

I just wanted the toys.

some of these are duplicates

two yunikos are better than one, right?

Some random beach queens

I don't really like beach queens much

the designs are nice but the final product seems a little cheap in quality

I have the full set of infinite stratos petittkos coming and a Rise beach queen

Nisemonogatari Blu-ray Aniplex of America USA

Nisemonogatari Blu-ray

Here is what the american release looks like. Compared to the first anime series, this show is not held in high regard. However, personally, I prefer Nisemonogatari more. I happen to be a Karen fan and me and Kaiki are like best buddies. Bakemonogatari is good, but there be a whole lotta talkin' going on. 

This is the back of the box.

geh... So ugly!

Normally, I do not open anime I have seen for collecting purposes,

but the back insert was ugly so I had to remove it and this is what the actual box looks like.

back of the disc case jackets

Many people have been wondering if the commentaries would be included since the box was not labeled to include them. I only watched the second disc but I did not see any secondary audio tracks. However, after episode previews of the next episode are included which cannot be found on crunchyroll. For instance, Kaiki complains his cell phone is broken and he now needs to buy a new 'smart' phone. However, he does not understand why people call them smart phones if they are not smart. It is mostly just dialogue with a few still frames. 

Denpa Onna - Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl

Here is what the USA release of denpa onna to seishun otoko looks like.

Idk about psychoelectric girl... Wouldn't radio wave girl or air waves or something sound better and be more  fitting? Personally, I would have just called it Denpa onna but I guess they are trying to appeal outside the genre to the general sci-fi fan base.
