New arrivals and a new store?

I missed two packages over the weekend, had to fetch them from the post office today.
My comic book order came in…
comics

as well as the fabled Henrietta from Gunslinger Girl
Henreitta
I had preordered this figure from hobbysearch originally for September but canceled it because I spent a lot that month already so I reordered it at Kid Nemo with an October release… it is now March and I just got it. Now that I actually have it in my hands I am slightly disappointed with her, she is nice just not as exciting as anticipated.

Apparently I have been out of the loop as a new local comic book shop opened some time in the last month in an unexpected location, and I didn’t know but I found them today. They mostly carry comics but they have a pretty decent selection of anime figures (mostly kotobukiya). I ended up walking away with a Belldandy by Kotobukiya

Kotona

I have had this figure for a while, decided to photo out of the blue recently.
Kotono
I honestly bought this figure because I had purchased the nendoroid of the same character. I was surprised how much I actually really like her. She is rather sexy without being vulgar.

She normally sits with the two zoids nendoroids on top of one of the speakers that are part of my surround sound.

A little visitor

Requiem and I did a temporary doll swap so Princessa has come to visit me for a week or so until I go have a meet with Requiem at her home which means I get to meet all the cast of All My Pullips. Requiem is borrowing Anarchy, my Noir to aid her in her work on the Noir Blythe. She also borrowed Collin and Anthrax, as I offered to lend her any dolls she wants and she was interested in those two.  She also took my bait with her as well I was not happy with my own results and well I didn’t think I ever would be so yeah she went home with Requiem.

I am really excited about the chance to photograph this little cutie pie for the next week or so.

BAMM

I have been ridiculously busy all day and I am no where near done but at this point I need a break from everything so I am going to concentrate on something that actually interests me.. besides my dolls and this is my comic book collection. My books a million order shipped today wasn’t amused by my collector’s edition Watchmen becoming backordered but at least everything else shipped.

Comic goodness includes-
Batman: Joker’s Asylum
Batman: Hush Volume 1 (I already have Volume 2 and Return of Hush)
Batman: Cataclysm
Batman: No Man’s Land Volumes 1-5
Batman: Bruce Wayne Murderer?
and the novelization of No Man’s Land as I really liked that arc.

I am still mainly interested in Joker so I am still focusing on stuff that features him. I still eventually want Emperor Joker and a few others, I have Mad Love and other stories preordered as well as the Arkham Asylum special box set with figures.

I feel like I have a nice base of Joker comics now between this order and my last order.

I am a strange, strange little girl.

Pinky Street

I recently bought some new pinky street including the latest batch of three and one of the ones I needed to complete my pinky street collection.

New releases-
Pinky Street 22-

Pinky Street 23-

Pinky Street 24-

And the older one.. A repaint of the original release, which is also much cuter and therefore more popular, therefore more of a pain to find >_<

It's my pleasure to serve you

I had preordered the re-release of this particular figure but canceled it after a bunch of impulse purchases as I needed to trim the fat a bit and while I liked it I did not like 5800 yen worth. About a week later I came across her on clearance somewhere else at 2500 yen, so I snatched her up immediately.

Her name is Takako and she is from Pia Carrot (Pia Carrot 3, I *think*). She is by Kotobukiya and she is 1/7 scale. I am not overly familiar with the Pia Carrot series of games/anime but I do like the character designs so I have a hanful of figures from it.

I must say I really am rather fond of her, especially at 2500 yen. I love the way her dress is done.

The facial expression could use a little work but overall a very cute figure that I am pretty happy with.

Why so serious.. about dolls?

Well if it isn’t obvious already I like dolls. I spend ridiculous amounts of money on them and have amassed a fairly expansive collection of them. I like variety so I have a large collection, I like having options as far as who I want to photograph or dress up on a given day. They make me happy, I don’t care how others feel about them frankly as I bought them for myself not for your enjoyment but my own.

After working on it on and off the last week, I finally finished the Jun Planning sub-heading with the exception of the minis and my in pieces custom currently sitting on my desk. Feel free to take a look at my Jun Planning doll collection here
I didn’t realize I had already hit 175 until I actually did the list completely out.

My total doll numbers increased yesterday although there were no new pullips… I actually got four new dolls in the mail yesterday including three blythes and a Hot Toys Bank Robber Joker doll.

Blythe All three blythes including the mysterious gift blythe arrived yesterday, I kind of wish their arrivals were a bit more spread out as it was a bit overwhelming..

First up we have Alma, she is the Sunday Very Best I found for pretty cheap because she had ::gasp:: an opened box. Apparently dolls lose significant portions of their value when deboxed in the Asian market, that phenomenon does not really happen here as they don’t lose much value when you debox them here.
Alma

Next is Lela, she was my surprise blythe.. now when I was told she had red hair I was not anticipating fire engine red hair lol. I was pretty pleasantly surprised by her, although I love her and her stock just not together. I stuck her in Hangry’s stock for some photos.
Lela

And finally my favorite Daphne. I absolutely adore her, she may just be my favorite blythe of the ones I own she just seems to have a lot of youthful energy.
FrFr

I am seriously in love with the Bank Robber Joker as well there are endless possibilities for mischief with him.. I mean he was out of the box ten minutes before he took poor Mikuru hostage. I just happened to be on the Hot Toys site earlier today and they are actually coming out with a third Joker doll.. I will definitely be preordering the new one.

It's a Tragedy

As I sit here and kill time until UPS/USPS get here today with a volley of packages I started playing with my 2nd Uncanricky again and I think I finally hit upon her true form.
Tragedy
While the wig is not the best quality wig as it is a resized blythe wig, the color matches Uncanricky’s eye make up perfectly. When originally purchased my idea was to rewig her with a purple fur wig and have her be punk but now she looks like cosmic triplet, I am even thinking of displaying her with my stock Mercu and Jupi (Starshine and Starlight).

Tragedy
So glad I bought the wig on impulse for cheap, now if only some doll would show up and actually look good in the orange bob wig I have…
