Volks has some figurine event going on 24th and 25th May named VOLKS ALL THAT’S HOBBY 09, and they have this certain resin kit which I’m desperately hoping for them to mass produce.

There’s nothing named First Summer of Love, only the Summer of Love and the Second Summer of love, but what the heck, it’s the first even if it doesn’t have First in its name, since it definitely isn’t the third.
Anyway, for those curious as to why I chose this as the title, it’s First because this will be the first year I’m documenting my room for future archive usage, ever since I plunged into the never-ending spiral of anime merchandise purchasing, Summer because it’s so darn hot here in freaking Singapore, and Love because moe… Whatever. Anime references with numbers in them sure aren’t easy to find. And what’s up with this cheesiness?!
Disclaimer : The author is no music buff, but only some geek who can reference to anime that references to the real Summer of Love.
As usual, I shall begin with the typical shot from the door. Click on the pictures for a larger image.
Bah, I’m too lazy to pack my bed
Everyone has a first time, and the first time always feels the greatest, especially if you are doing something you have a passion for.
For me, this was my first scaled figurine.
I’ll keep this short, since this post is just to help me clear my Kotobukiya Shana preorder.
It was a totally impulsive decision. I don’t even watch Shana season II, and I don’t even like Shana now. Since I am void of even the slightest bit of passion to obtain this figurine, I might as well let it of to someone else in Singapore who loves Shana much more than I do.
The total price is about S$67 and it’s from KKnM. After the S$10 deposit, it comes down to around S$57. If you are interested, you can leave a comment here. If you feel like being a nice person, you can offer to cover for the deposit too. Even a few dollars would do. I would be really grateful is some Shana fan out there would do that.
No more impulse preorders from now on! >:( Time to save for something of higher importance.
I’ve been waiting forever for the release date for the ARX-7 by Alter to be announced, but after almost a year of playing the waiting game, there was still no hint. Only some prototypes at the various figurine events. In Wonderfest ‘08, there seemed to be no pictures of the ARX-7 taken. I started to worry that it might have been dropped.
Then, I saw this.
This is why you should frequent GA Graphic. They cover stuff no one else covers.
Anyone heard of figurine company EyeUp?
Apparently, there are rather unknown, and if you compare them to other larger companies such as the Trinity (GSC, Alter, Max Factory), it’s like comparing an Evangelion to a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Still, I somehow chanced upon EyeUp’s website, and some of the stuff they are featuring for the upcoming WonderFest have caught my attention.
With Chinese New Year and all the red packets, I figured I should do a post on my otaku finances.
Preorders:
Shana Swimsuit by Kotobukiya: 5040yen
I only had half a day in Bangkok, and I made full use of it. In about 4 hours, I embarked on a search for shops that would be of interest to fellow otakus who might be making a trip over there. My post is by no means comprehensive, but merely a rough guide on what you can expect.
Just when I thought my figurine expenditure was stagnant, I received news of my preorders coming in. 3 preorders. This is my first time collecting 3 scaled figurine preorders in a single trip, so the it felt rather good despite the damage exceeding $150. The difficult part, however, was the lugging of the trio back to the safety of my home. Avoiding unwanted crushing of the boxes was no easy feat.
Since I marathoned all 26 episodes of Major Season 3 just yesterday, I feel rather sluggish. No proper photoshoots because of that, and also because my digital camera has crappy macro focus.
First up, Miss Plugsuit.
