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]
I had gotten 4 figured from DC Member DirtyBeast. This is the 4th that i had gotten in that shipment again for $20. All the figures sold were $20 to they went fast and i knew i had no time to hesitate and i had to snag them all up fast. While i liked all the other figures i purchased Needa was the real reason i went for the splurge of the figures.
I already Owned of the Shuraki figure set Akatsuki and Meifeng, so it was obvious i needed to get Needa as well. Plus the price really helped push me over the edge!
I really like Needa’s battle damaged outfit, it’s revealing yet not slutty
Plus it helps show off her curves nicely
I do love her undies more than the others for sure, best undies out of any of my other figures.
The purple of her bra just goes so well with her hair and doesn’t over do the purple
Must be a bit chilly
In high School when it would get this cold and we girls would get pointy like this we’d say “It’s a tit nipply today isn’t”
Nice matching undies, mine almost never match. More like i just throw on whatever color i feel like and i have never them in sets so they never match.
Now while i do like her uniform it seems almost bulky and makes her seem larger than she is
Love Shunya Yamashita’s faces
Lots of pictures without her hat since it kept falling off and making me mad
What do you like better, a girl with a huge gun or a huge sword?
This getting used figures really has helped me get some amazing figures and for amazing prices. Sadly right now i’m really broke and if someone put up some amazing figure for sale even if it were for very little money i’d have to pass unless I can sell a kidney or two. With my recent trip to Mexico and the fact that hours are getting short at work my last paycheck was significantly less so i have to cut back on luxuries such as food, water, paying bills and such. No seriously maybe i need to cut back and buy less figures… NOT! Nah i just need to make up the hours at work and then i’ll be all good! I’m already getting started this weekend by working someone else’s shift!
Sadly Needa is the last of the figures i got for $20, hopefully someone else (when i have money again) sells amazing figures for that cheap again!

Very nice, very nice. Think you’re right about the full uniform, especially when there’s such a nice figure underneath it =O. It’s less noticeable to me in the wider shots.
Girl, you have an INCREDIBLE eye for deals! I love this figure — have always wanted to own her. Love your backdrop too ^__^

Okay DQ! Thats it! I offically HATE you now…
Snagging all those great figures for 20$… 😛
Nice Job on getting Nida! Shes among my favorite figures and a fellow landsman!

@Mindsplinter:
yeah i’ts onl really noticable up close
@Colette:
i get the bargain shopper gene from my mom, she’s also so good at finding awesome stuff for cheap
@Blowfish:
sorry, don’t hate me :'( no but i love her too, shunya yamashita designs are so awesome that she just stands out nicely among the rest of my figures
If I were to have to sell my Shuraki I’d probably try to hold onto Needa if I could. I love Shunya Yamashita character designs. I also really like that her batter torn clothing option doesn’t really make her look slutty.
Rize might have won over Needa if her base hadn’t been so frail and broke on me! I’m still debating if I should re-buy her and try to strengthen her peg before I display her.

@Lovelyduckie:
i heard so many stories about Rize’s pegs breaking so i’ve been super careful with her so far
I don’t like shunya yamashita deisgn so i’m not a fan of this one 🙁
But i love what you did with the background 🙂
Still for this price , even myself would have buy her :p

@James:
i noticed that not everyone likes Shunya Yamashita’s art, i do so it was obvious i should get her yet i didn’t pre-order her but in the end i’m glad since i got her for a bargain
What a deal for $20! I only have Needa and Char from the Shuraki series.
