156/365- Pinky Street travel via air balloon

I had the somewhat brilliant thought that Twilight Sparkle’s balloon from the new My Little Pony show would be the most awesome mode of transportation ever for a Little Pullip. The balloon was on sale last week at ToysRUS so I finally decided to buy it and see if it worked, unfortunately it turned out to be a failed experiment as Little Pullip was just a little too big. The balloon is however a good fit for Pinky Street.

365 Project- January Review

I have officially made it a month into this year’s 365 toy project. I have been trying to focus on featuring a variety of different toys and not just my dolls. I think I have been somewhat successful with this, I have even featured somethings I didn’t even know I owned (Puffy Ami Yumi figures, Gundam 00 Gashapon)  as well as some stuff I had never really photographed before (Tokidoki).

61/365- Another Yahoo Japan Haul

More goodies via Yahoo Japan arrived today.
61/365
Trigger Heart Excelica- Excelica by Alter
Neon Genesis Evangelion- Rei Pullip
To Heart Dollfie Outfit
Gunslinger Girl- Henrietta Pinky Street

After waffling back and forth for quite a while I finally took the plunge and bought Excelica. I had heard of the epic-ness that is the Trigger Heart Excelica figure by Alter but I don’t think I had mentally prepared myself for something quite so grand. Her size is immense, and the amount of accessories she comes with is unreal. I’m glad I finally decided to pick her up as she is just so incredibly awesome, well worth the price I paid.

I decided to get a second Rei pullip to equal things out as I have a second Asuka pullip. Also this means I can have a set permanently on display with my sizable Evangelion display as well as a set on display with all of my other dolls.

The To Heart dollfie outfit was originally intended for Nana but it didn’t fit her so I am going to actually swap Nana and Mimi which I had been pondering for a while. Mimi is going to become Lucy of To Heart 2 and Nana is going to become Utena.

The Gunslinger Girl pinky was a bit of an impulse buy, I already have one and paid pretty dearly for it but I happened to be browsing Yahoo Japan recently for the last few Pinky Street figures I need when I seen Henrietta going for extremely cheap so I decided that it was too good a deal to pass up on it ^^;.

Storage Issues

I think it is safe to assume that I have outgrown my apartment. I love my apartment and don’t really want to move but I am running out of storage options. I remember when I first moved in and thought the place was huge and that I would never be able to fill it up, I apparently took it as a challenge. Although I have spoke about these issues before I have never really taken pictures of it before..
The closet
The closet, admittedly this doesn’t look so bad until you realize the dimensions of the closet. It’s only about 5ft tall by 4ft wide but it is 15ft long and it is packed throughout as tight as possible with doll boxes and figures boxes.
More bedroom piles
I already have two full storage units out in town and I really did not wish to rent a third so I have actually been piling the boxes from all of the newer acquisitions in my bedroom, this particular pile is in the corner of my bedroom and goes from floor to ceiling ^^;
Picture 1596

The far side of my bedroom by the windows is actually inaccessible because I have so many boxes piled up ^^;

I bet you are wondering where I am going with this post, it is not going to result in a sales post although now that I know I am not going to Anime Boston this year I am considering selling the content of my trade box as at this point it is just taking up needed space lol. I spoke to my property manager on Friday, discussing my lease that runs out in a few months wondering if the one apartment larger than my own on the property might be available it doesn’t look like it would be available in the time frame I want but the property manager did inform I had forgotten about a free storage unit in the building of my apartment complex.  I am going to use the storage unit to get the anime figure boxes that are currently in my bedroom out. I spent all morning sorting through them and packing them up to prep them to go into storage.
Off to storage
I made lots of discoveries in the process of packing everything like Super Dollfie/ Dollfie Dream shipping crates can hold nine standard nendoroid cases each.
Off to storage
I also decided that I am going to completely rearrange my apartment tomorrow as I don’t like the current layout. I am effectively going to move my living room into my dining room completely take over the living room area for use as my doll room and I haven’t quite decided where my dining room table is ending up, I eat at it so rarely I am tempted to just use it as a display place honestly at this point ^^; . I have more work to do with the boxes now but first I have to break down my pinky tree so I have a place to put all of these damned shipping crates of boxes ^^;

Goals for 2010

As we bid adieu to 2009, I have decided to make a list of goals for myself for the year 2010.

Hina
^ A picture of my namesake so this isn’t all text

General Goals
- Clean the apartment- the current level of chaos is unheard of.
- Move to larger apartment or buy house
- Watch more anime, while on that subject when I do actually watch anime watch new stuff instead of re-watching old favorites >_<
- Read more manga, get caught up on what I need to
- Finish reading the gifted 250 gig hard drive of Batman and related comics, also finish reading Sin City
- Find some time for Halo 3 and Halo ODST seriously I could use the stress relief right now
- Completely beat the five games I am currently playing through on various systems, also want to play through Arkham Asylum on hard mode
- Actually have a cell phone last for more than one month, let’s just say it’s a good thing I have cell phone insurance as I have terrible luck with phones *gently cradles her three day old phone*

Doll Goals
- Keep up to date with collecting all the pullips/dals
- Actually get all of the pullips back up on the shelves and get everything organized again instead of current utter chaos
- Organize all the doll crap I have accumulated, possibly sell the excess
- Limit the number of non-essential pullips ie. try to cutback on the number of duplicates, focus on getting the new releases and customs, maybe a few taeyangs and well Papins don’t count…
- Keep to my blythe goal of no more than 26 blythes at a time, didn’t seem like so impossible a goal when I set it originally but I am already up to 15 (not counting the 7 sold) within a year of starting collecting.
- While on the subject of blythes.. Get a Kenner- haha! More realistically get Ribboneta Wish
- Get Dollfie Dream Grail- Illyavasal MDD
- Get Super Dollfie Grail- Nono
- Get other Super Dollfie Grail- Chii
- Get more dollfie clothing and shoes
- Resist urge to buy more pukis- I will have my third one soon and then my collection will be complete
- Try to resist the siren call of more Little Fees.. I can see that on failing.
- Go to Puddle (still debating feasibility and whether or not I can get time off of work)
- Finish Dollfie projects- Mahoro & Utena so project Komugi can start

Anime Figures and Swag Goals
- Go to Anime Boston
- Finish collecting all of the damned Pinky Street
- Reshelve figures, dusting needed and rotate out figures that have fallen out of favor stick them in storage until later
- Buy Disgaea 3- Rozalyn Nendoroid
- Acquire Figure grail – Nurse Witch Komugi figure Link
- Don’t get carried away with buying too many figures, be less impulsive with purchases
- Find and purchase the Mahoromatic and Disgaea towels that have been on my wish list for ages
- Build more kits, still in the middle of a perfect grade Gundam kit-
- Get the figures on my desk in some semblance of order
- Acquire Macross x Lucky Star figures
- Photograph more of my figure collection
- Get apartment clean enough so I can photograph a good portion of my figures anyway

Online Goals (WordPress/Flickr etc.)
- Organize this blog better, for those of you keeping a close eye on this site you may have noticed that I am already in the process of working on it.
- Organize flickr, delete older photos and replace with newer, better photos
- Finish various projects I have started but never completed here ^^;

33/365- Professional dollfie tree decorator

Darling Ryomou wanted to help out with the Christmas decorations today so I decided to make one of the pictures that I took of her today, the picture of the day for today.

You can see in the background of this one a case of pullips arrived via Fed Ex this morning, it’s bad sign when they have to shipped in cases right?

32/365- Oh Christmas Pinky.. oh Christmas Pinky

I think it’s official that I am insane. A few weeks ago, I was lamenting that my Pinky Street collection has been boxed up now for the better part of six months as I simply have no place to display them at the same time I was kind of wondering what I would do for Christmas decorations this year… Little did I know that all those years of pinky collecting would lead up to this which also indirectly means I spent over $1k on tree decorations..

The official picture of the day
This is still ideally supposed to be a picture a day but well this idea took a lot of time and effort, plus I personally think it is pretty epic so I will share some additional pictures.
Front view of the tree
I have almost a complete collection of pinky street, I think I am missing eight now.
Oh Christmas pinky....
In addition to traditional ornaments there are a few other little things on the tree that I sneaked on like the Galaxy Angel Mint mini plush.

Picture 1320
Regardless of rarity they pretty much all went on the tree. I actually have an entire other box of pinkies that did not make it on the tree though, I spent basically all day yesterday at this and at that point I was just kind of done. Maybe I will assault the tree with more pinkies today…

Christmas Tree topper
My Christmas tree topper is my Milch dal, Ambrosia who I got last year for Christmas.

15/365- Pinky St

You are probably wondering why there are two pictures of the day for yesterday and why neither of them got blogged yesterday.. I was very ill over the weekend so I decided to stay over at someone’s house so they would be able to help me tend to the zilla the trade-off was the person who house I decided to crash at is kind of techno-phobic so no internet access except my phone for the duration of my stay. It seems the fates were kind of on my side, my dslr was in my car although I couldn’t upload pictures from it until I got home today, so I had a camera but nothing to photograph.. after some rummaging around in my purse I was able to find a Pinky Street. I eventually figured out that I could upload photos from my phone directly to flickr so I would at least be able to upload something yesterday so I basically I ended up taking almost identical photos one with my phone and one with my dslr. I uploaded the shiny dslr pic when I got home this morning, I am actually pretty happy with what I was able to accomplish with basically no idea of what I was going to do until I went outside.

Ironically this post ends up kind of being an interesting comparison of the horrible camera in my phone and the awesome quality of my dslr.
