This post will not be what you expected upon reading the subject title. 
This is about our collecting habits. Part 1, in particular, is about mine. AS will work on Part 2 when he has time (I suspect that this will be after he’s done with his summer classes after the end of this month).
AS has always been interested in figures. I, on the other hand, was charmed by things that remained flat.

Here’s a pretty neat video that I found while browsing the net. A “nendoroid” version of the K-On girls singing the ending theme song “Don’t say lazy.” Interesting, considering the nendoroids haven’t even been released yet and only Mio is currently the only one K-On girl for pre-order at the moment which you can find on HLJ or HobbySearch. The 3D graphics on it is pretty sweet and it does a good job of matching the original ending theme song in looks, although not perfect but still pretty good. I would be very interested in seeing a real life version of this being made when all the K-On nendoroids come out. What about you?

I was busy working again this year at Kawaii-Kon so I didn’t get to take much pictures xD. So I scoured the net for pictures of others and will post them up for you to see ^^.
Try to guess all the cosplay characters xD.
If you wanted to ever feel “moe,” look no further than these to quick clips. Both from K-On.
I did the arm wave and the saying at least 20 times for each version with my girlfriend xD.
Mio is the biggest moe I’ve ever seen <3
K-On is getting quite popular. What does this mean? Otaku craving merchandise from K-On will come about. This includes Mio’s bass. The bass Mio uses is actually based on a real bass according to the blog written by the staff of Japan’s Fender company. Fender makes guitars, bass, amps, accessories and more. So I decided to look it up and actually found it.
A new Vocoloid character has been announced and her name is Megurine Luka ^^. She’s the newest creation by Kei, the original artist for the vocoloids. She has more of a “mature voice” compared to Miku, maybe a possible “older sister fetish” xD. Well anyways, I like her voice, maybe a bit better than Miku’s because it won’t go up as high pitch. Clothing wise I believe Luka’s is much more more elaborate and gives off more detail. I’m looking forward to her debut as a figure. Wouldn’t mind picking one up, which would be my first vocoloid purchase xD.
Another year has passed and what a great year it has been for me. I was able to get a great girlfriend, pass my classes, get the classes I want for next year, and more.
Now, it’s that time of the year when I announce the word of the year. The word of the year is….
For those of you who like Bleach, check out this Online Bleach RPG Game. In this game you get to choose to fight as a shinigami or hollow where you can get stronger by defeating other people (hollow vs shinigami or shinigami vs hollow) who play the game and by choosing how to distribute your strength, intelligence, or speed. You can even upload your own avatar to distinguish yourself from other players. It’s a great game for people with some time to spare. Btw, I chose to be a hollow lol, always thought they were a bit interesting. Besides, if too much people choose shinigami there wouldn’t be much hollow to fight ;P.
Last weekend, I went to this local cosplay event held in a Megatrade hall in Megamall. The place is so jam packed. There are so many cosplayers and so many people. There are booths where you can get freebies but I failed to go through all of them because of the crowd.
I really hate myself for forgetting to bring a real camera. Well, I could not blame myself because it was a bit unexpected. But, hey, bringing a camera won’t hurt for heaven’s sake. I ended up taking pictures with my crappy phone. I didn’t really get good pictures because the resolution of the camera is pretty low. Half body shots only.. no whole body shots… Also, there are so so so many people there that you won’t find a good place to bring the cosplayer.
I arrived at the event pretty early, around noon. It was still early but according to my ticket, I was the 1575th to come. The place is pretty small for some thousand of people. Can you imagine how many people were there after 2-3 hours. I felt like I was in Akihabara (though I have never been there) because if you failed to line properly, you would end up in a place you didn’t intend to go and you can’t help it. The crowd will take you away.
I’m putting up pictures. Yeah I know they’re crappy, but for the sake of putting up pictures, I’m putting some.[?] I reduced their sizes by the way…
Carcaptor Sakura. The cosplayer is pretty young.
The one on the left is from a game. And the one on the right is Dark Magician girl. LOL
OMG. Star wars.
She’s the accomplice of Jigoku Shoujo. Her dress is really nice. Too bad I wasn’t able to capture it. And I can’t step back any further. Crowd.
Saber! OMG. Fate/Stay Night.
It’s Anya. Code Geass. OMG. If only I took some more pictures. She really does look like Anya.
It’s Yuuko-san. xxxHolic. She’s my favorite among all cosplayers. She’s kind and adorable too. I’m taking her home. I wish I took more pictures of her. She had a nice dress and very cool hair.
I also took some pictures on the catwalk. But they move too much that I can’t get a nice shot.
It’s Kallen! And she’s holding a Pizza Hut. XD
A guy from Ouran High School Host Club.
It’s Voltes V. OMG. My past time hero. LOL.
Spiderman?.. What are you doing in here. LOL.
That’s C.C and Lelouch.
It’s nice to say that Naruto cosplayers have gone down. Code Geass and Vampire Knight are the ones that are popular now a days on cosplayers.
I also recorded a video of Akatsuki characters(Naruto) doing the Hare-hare yukai and Caramelldansen. LOL. But the video is crappy crappy crappy.. But that was fun.
Overall, even though it’s really tiring because of the crowd, I really enjoyed it. I have to go now. Voltes V-sama might slice me into pieces.
