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.

Bookmark 2 out of 20
This happened to be my loot of the day for EOY 2007. $15 for 20 bookmarks was a rather good deal.
I was actually looking for this set of bookmarks every since I saw that promotional mini poster in Kinokuniya. Never had I expected to find it at a cosplay event. Now I do not have to buy 20 Evangelion manga volumes just to get the entire set. Sweet! Then again, I just might get them if I make another trip to Japan.
Anyway, I have scanned the complete set and uploaded it in a zip file. For those interested, you can get it here.
This year’s EOY was kind of a screw up for me.
First of all, I woke up at 1pm. I had orginally planned to wake up at around 9am, so that I could reach then EOY venue at around 11am-12pm. Seems like I was in such a deep slumber that even my alarm could not awake me. Oh well.
The next screwed up thing would be the camera. My mum took both the Casio and Sony digital cameras to Korea, so I was left with a crappy Fujifilm camera which uses XD cards. The camera’s package did not come with any XD card, and XD cards cost a bomb, as compared to SD cards. Not having the cash, I skipped the idea of getting an XD card, and just went direct to the event. Screw Fujifilm and their overpriced XD cards. I should sell this camera soon, and top up some cash to get a better camera.
Anyway, I went to EOY at 4pm with nothing but a camera that could only take 8 pictures. I decided I had to save the 8 shots for cosplayers who were really awesome. After paying 12 bucks for the entrance fee, I met up with Zer0 and Windbell. It was then Windbell told me that there was a really hawt Rei cosplayer with bandanges. Immediately, I decided to save all the shots I had for her.
One of the best Rei cosplays I have ever seen locally. The other was one which was equally as awesome was at Downtown East during the Cosfest 2007 finals.
Despite my crappy photography skills, and the inability to take a photo with proper background, I present to you the best cosplayer of EOY 2007.

As mentioned in the last post on my previous blog, Furu Anime Panikku has shifted over here.
And to celebrate the obtaining of my very own domain, I present to you a wallpaper I have done.
Please forgive my rather noob skills in Photoshop.
Now, time for me to start off with PHP.
I was browsing through Heisei Democracy when Shingo did a post on the Miyazawa Model Exhibition. It was a bad move for me to read on. Now, I have been poisoned by the pictures I have seen. OH MY POOR WALLET!!!
Anyway, here are some of the goodies which I have set my sights on.
RAWR!! Nice Alter Saber!!! Looks so GAR!!!

Normally, when you purchase figurines, what do you usually consider? The sculpt, the pose, the manufacturer, the character, the price?
Well, those that I listed above are the ones which I always consider before ever settling the payment of the purchase/preorder. It seems, however, that I have missed out something….
AYANAMI REI!!!!111!!!
I bought this quite sometime ago, probably about 2 weeks I think. Anyway, this figurine fared quite well in the various factors. The sculpt and pose was alright, the manufacturer was quite good, the character is awesome, and the price was reasonable after the price cut. However, I left out one point of consideration.

I went to Kinokuniya today, and happened to browse through this book. I regret doing so, and sympathize with my wallet. It’s awesome. I must get it. Even though I already said I would not unnecessarily get artbooks.
