Preordered Evangelion Ballet Figures

I don’t preorder many anime figures these days but the Evangelion ballerina figures of Rei and Asuka brought me out of preordering hiatus. The figures are based on an illustration from Carmine an art book by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

I actually used to do ballet for six years myself, so I have to admit a bit of a weakness towards ballerina figures.

Preorder Time- Aizu Asuka

I have cut down significantly on my number of  figure preorders recently, I have been strategically planning each one and really focusing on trying to keep my numbers down but there was no way I could resist preordering this Asuka. I should post my pathetic list of preorders especially compared to my old ones it is rather pathetic ^^; Asuka has always been my favorite Evangelion character. When I seen this figure pop up on My Figure Collection (formally Tsuki-board) I knew I just had to have it, I have been keeping my eyes open for preorders to open ever since.

asuka
Series- Rebuild of Evangelion
Character- Souryuu Asuka Langley
Release- 4/10
Manufacturer- Aizu Project

I preordered her from Hobby Search this morning as I happened to be on their site checking to see if they still had something in stock when I seen her. I preordered her immediately, as I simply had to have her ^^; I literally have tons of Asuka figures easily over one hundred different figures of her including two 1/4 scale figures, so I probably didn’t need another Asuka figure but I do not yet have a statue of her in her school uniform so that is my justification for this purchase.

Simply Preordered: Blythes Edition

TL packages are apparently arriving tomorrow as nothing came today.

In a complete departure from yesterday’s unfeminine post, this post will be focusing on dolls. I received an email today from a friend of mine, saying that he had noticed that preorders had opened for new blythes with pink and green hair.. New blythes says I O_o? With fantasy hair? I must have missed the memo on that one. I immediately brought up TIB and went to the new releases section where there was a new topic announcing the two newest releases Simply Peppermint and Simply Lilac. I subsequently logged into HLJ and got my preorder on ^^;

Simply Peppermint & Simply Lilac
Both blythes are RBL mold which makes me a bit ambivalent, it is my favorite mold but I was really hoping that a non-limited (re. not super expensive) FBL mold would be the next release. I will also point out now that my partner in crime is apparently colorblind as Simply Lilac’s hair is definitely lilac. Both come out in September and I am so super excited :D

Small haul today

I received two blue haired lovelies from HLJ today.

Preorder day again already?

I didn’t actually preorder all that much this week ^^; Part of it is I am waiting for other sites to start taking preorders for a couple of additional figures I want as TL wants way too much over the yen price for them (especially on a Kotobukiya figure wtf? ). On the bright side I guess this should make updating http://kleintoys.wordpress.com/preorders/toyslogic/ a tad easier, still need to build pages for Hobbysearch, Hobbylink, CDJapan and a few other places but I haven’t had the time ^^;

Various Doll Updates: Pullip, Blythe and Dollfie Dream

Pullip- Angelique and Charlotte are still kicking around in the post I hate SAL sometimes.  I am also awaiting two other dolls; a custom dal named Jupin who is a dal customized to look the pullip Jupi and I am trading one of my Ridas for a Latte. I am in the process of commissioning another custom dal, with a different customizer this time, as much as I love Requiem’s work I wanted to try a different customizer as a couple of my friends have customs by her and really speak very highly of her work . I am having a custom dal made up of the little pullip Froggy, Little Froggy is my absolute favorite mini and I have already seen a few customs pullips of her then I thought she might be even cuter as a dal.

Blythe- I have fallen head over heels for next month’s release Punkaholic People.  I absolutely must have her.

I currently in the process of trading my Love Mission to make a space for her (I don’t want to have too many with dark hair or anyone hair color for that matter plus I am trying to keep a close eye on their number). Speaking of the trade I am acquiring a Primadolly Saffy so I am rather pleased as she is one of my favorite blythes that I don’t own.

Dollfie Dream- I just checked tracking it looks as though the mysterious Dollfie Dream just arrived in the States a little earlier this evening which would normally mean that she would be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately there is no mail delivery tomorrow because of the holiday so it looks as though both the mystery DD and Rin will both be arriving together on Monday. Oh the irony.. Ryomou and Kanu showed up on the same day despite the fact they were purchased a few days apart from very different sellers. I wonder if this is a sign that I should buy another when Yoko is due. Anticipate lots of pictures next week.

First Look- Peter Pan x Pullip October releases

October’s pullip was lineup was announced some time during the night. It looks like Groove has decided to go forward with their collaboration with Disney.

On the whole these seen to have lost some of the sparkle that was there in the prototypes. I am very ambivalant about these as a set on the one hand I want to buy them all, on the other hand I am not entirely happy with them.

Taeyang- Captain Hook
The removable mustache cracks me up, not sure if he is cool enough to hang with pirate crew or not yet though hmm.


Pullip- Peter Pan
Traditionally in the theater productions Peter Pan is portrayed by a female, pullip has continued this tradition.

Dal- Tinkerbell
I love Tinkerbell but she seemed to be hit the hardest  hit in the changes from prototype to announced release. I miss her trademark red lips.

Byul- Tigerlily
I really, really wanted to like this release T_T I love Tigerlily but the byul is somewhat disappointing I would buy her and steal her stock for a dal or a pullip but I am unsure if I will actually buy her or not at this point.

Here's looking at July

Lots of fun stuff is already lining up for July even though I am only an hour into it >_<

I have  somewhat surprisingly already received shipping notification from Volks for my Rin Dollfie Dream from the VolksUSA store, I could have sworn she was not coming until late July. So Rin and my other incoming Dollfie Dream are racing to my mailbox as we speak both should be here by early next week expect pictures and lots of them :P

I was also somewhat surprized to see shipping notification for my fourth bjd, an Allie from Felixdoll’s Brownie line. It’s been so long since I paid for her I almost forgot about the poor dear.

My goal, in light of everything is take July a little slower. I bought a lot of stuff last month including another DD which I didn’t absolutely need so I am taking time off from the hunt  as a means of penance for June’s over enthusiam…. Don’t get me wrong there will still be a bunch of stuff arriving in July as I still have a whole ton of preorders which I am anticipating an invoice for any time now.

First Look- Comic-con Exclusive Pullip- Lala

Comic-con is getting an exclusive pullip O_O. Her name is Lala and she is apparently the first of three new exclusives, all three are limited to 300 each and each will be limited to a different country according to Jun Planning’s USA Rep all three will be the same basic doll only the lips, wig and eye chips will change from model to model.

I personally find her lovely she reminds me of Fantastic Alice and Panda a bit, I really want her.. I really want multiples of her she is just so gorgeous.
