It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
Once again my boredom overcame me, and the end result was a subpar photo shoot. I really need to take a class or something to make much better shoots. I’m overall happy with the end result but this one took the longest to shoot out off all the shoots I’ve done in the past. I did the Hime Kuri girls this time around since there seems to be a lack of photos focused on these lovely lolis. I have both since originally one was mine and the other belonged to my boyfriend, but since he really never cared for his figures i stole them and added them to my ever growing collection. They never really counted as his anyways since i bought them all and i liked them more than he ever did. Now lets cut to the chase already!
As usual overall i liked both figures. I had gotten them as impulse buys, they were on sale in this one store for $35 for both. While i have a habit of only buying figures from series i know and characters i like i didn’t with these two and just bought them for the price and since i liked the character design. I’m glad i did they are both quite cute. There aren’t any issues with paint on either figure and the face and pose are quite cute. I do however wish they were cast off. On Mode Nero it almost seems as she could be but alas she is not, but then they would but much more expensive if they were. But honestly there was no point in me getting either, if it hadn’t been for the amazing price i wouldn’t have bothered. Not that i regret it now, it’s more of that i know myself and if i had paid more then i would have regretted it.
If you like the character design and have been eying them for some time then go ahead and snag one while you can. But if you didn’t really have the need to own either then there is no hurry to run and own your own as nothing about either screams buy me.

Nice!!! I own the white one. I don’t have the black one…I’m thinking, if I find it, I’ll get it. Nice background for the shoot!!! I like the pictures!!!
This figure is for people who loves to stare at pantsu!!! Like one of my friends. He stare at it for like 20minutes until I have to pull him out of my room…

I’ve always wanted the black version but everytime I wanted to buy her, she just gets sold out. Instead I have the white one. Photos aren’t too bad, but I find the bright pink of the background very vivid in contrast to the figures.

When I read the title, I was like whoa, I didn’t know the HimeKuri girl had names! They still don’t right or do they actually have names?
They are awesome for the price, at least here in the states, the price of them is super cheap and the quality of the paint and molding is quite good.
