Just to let you know: these
Dura figures are coming in March. Ok I received several packages these past months, let me show you the most recent ones :)
[ x ] Durarara!! Dress Sticker B Shizuo
[ x ] Durarara!! Postcards
[ x ] Durarara!! DVD/CD File
[ x ] Durarara!! Izaya's Birthday Set
This is the first international order I made with my card, I've just changed bank due to some circumstances and requested a credit card (yeah up untill now, I didn't have one ^^;;). Remember when I mentioned about this birthday set, I eventually purchased it! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ILLUSTRATION, Izaya is so, so... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Izayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa \(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\
I need Shizuo's birthday set now, I want want want want want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not longer available, it's been sold out long ago by the time I've started to use a proxy service (;__;) If anyone knows where I could get it or wants to sell it, please do inform me~ m(_ _)m
Plate
Now that I have this set, I'm so afraid to break this plate!! I can't leave it in my bedroom, not that my bedroom is messy to begin with, there're just too many stuff in my storage and I'm afraid the whole box would fall down by inadvertenly.
I've taken more pics but I'll leave them for my future(?) review :)
[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Stainless Mug
[ x ] Prism Connect Durarara!! BOX
[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Plushie Bousou Kishi
[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Plushie Bousou Kenkyuin
The Tales merchandise order was made by Bro. Bro decided to pay every Tales merch we're interested in so I'd save money for stuff I want = Dura XD Ah Bro I really LOVE you ♥♥♥ Tales of Vesperia is our favorite Tales game so far. Tales of Eternia and Tales of the Abyss used to be my fav but Yuri made you to love TOV more that you're meant to (^q^)
Yay for the plushies, I finally own Rita and Flynn ♥~~<(^///^<)
I took several more pictures of them, including different [fun] poses, but for some unknow reason they ended up to be really odd. I mean, compare my usual pics and these, don't they look totally different in terms of colors or something like that. I don't know what did happen with Bro's camera. I can't seem to take decent pics with his cam lately (well at least, I didn't use mine... ^^;).
FureYuri (Flurrie) / YuriFure (Yullen)
Hope Flynn and Rita plushies sold well so they could consider to make the other chars too. Though the other TOV chars (Estelle, Raven, Judith, Karol & Patty. Repede plushies does exist <3) aren't as popular as these three but why not other Tales game chars like... Leon, Luke, Asbel, Emil, Jude & Milla *__*

[ x ] Mai Kuraki - HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN LIVE 2010
[ x ] Mai Kuraki - Your Best Friend (Limited Edition)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~♥~♥ "Your Best Friend" is now in my hands!! I LOVE this song so much, I think I'll add it to my TOP 5 <33333 There's a pass code behind the sticker, it's supposed to be available in the near future or something, I forgot which day though, I'll check it out again later. Anyway, the CD look very refined for some reason, the DVD is red though.
As for the HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN LIVE DVD, the box is simple just like your usual DVD box. Mai-K's "Best Live" box was definitely more appealing, I'm not surprised by it either anyway. However the DVDs are pleasant as such, orange and purple like the previous HHHL DVDs but I like these best ///
I went to get Viva and Wings on last week's Friday after my classes. Glad my bookstore was still opened (^^;) I should have gone during my holidays I guess haha. And guess what? They have extra copies of Viva displaying there! Haha guess my subscription in the Viva conduced them to get additional copies for the other customers :) They happened to do the same for the ZERO-SUM and the Wings back then when I'd requested them.
I specially purchase this issue because of the color pages from "Alice". That's just a sample, there're actually three colors (2-page spreads + a single page) in the issue. Alice has such a serious face waah, I can't wait for the tank to come out because I don't understand what is going on in this chapter since I don't track the mag but for the color pages (^o^;;)
Lucky me, in this issue there was another color page for Takarai-sensei's new work I mentioned some time ago, Kakemakumo, Kashikoki ♥ (also own the issue in which the first chapter came out)
I assume you recognize the two illustrators for the posters: Tsukiji Nao (Adekan, Nao-sensei is often asked to do the posters anyway fufu) and Kazuya Minekura (Saiyuki). From what I heard, Minekura-sensei has just started her new work in the Wings!
Rubber Strap Collection Durarara!! & Tales of Friends
I find a great pleasure seeing these three boxes of the Rubber Strap Collection <(^w^<) Though my mind eventually changes if I start to remind of Psyche-tan T__________T I think I'll cry over it as long as I do not own it...........
Anyhow, Kotobukiya sure knows how to appeal fangirls. The boxes are so cute ♥
ビバ☆テイルズオブマガジン 2011年 12月号Viva☆Tales of Magazine December Issue
Release date: 2011.10.28
I have put some samples of the previous issues in my
Tumblr. Feel free to take a look, they're under the tag "
tales of series".
This is a report from the 15th W Anniversary event in which Kosuke Toriumi (Yuri) and Mai Nakahara (Estelle) from Tales of Vesperia participated.
In Tales of Xillia, you can customize your chars with accessories and clothes, well no difference from the previous Tales but you can also do more than just these: facial changes. In this two samples, Elise is drooling (yodare) while Jude is having a nosebleed (hanaji) :D
I want this Tipo Bag >< Behind that's a bag that features Tipo (TOX), Tokunaga (TOA) and... Mieu (TOA) <3
A
trading cards box was released few days ago. After a quick look, it seems there are exclusive illustrations, though some of them were eventually revealed in Viva (yep I'm sure to have seen them before). And as the
Prism Connect Dura, the seiyuu
signed some cards \(^o^)/
In the Vol.3 of the
Rubber Strap Collection Tales of Friends, an exclusive strap will be only available through Kotokubiya shop:
Asch. I placed an order for it, don't want to miss the chance to get since I missed Psyche-tan v______v
The
Otasuke duo,
Masaya Onosaka (also knows as Zelos' seiyuu), and
Katsuyuki Konishi (also knows as Lloyd' seiyuu), held a
lottery with Tales merch hehe. You can watch the video
here! And speaking of TOS, samples from the Reunid World was revealed in the issue. One of them is about Lloyd and you-know-who-I-am-talking-about. Considering it has
spoiler, be sure to have played the game entirely or read the manga. If you see this without this, it'd completely ruin ths story.................................. so
here you go.
Yuri sure looks like a girl in this pic. It amuses me knowing they leave up to the artist to draw Yuri as a girl in the official mag haha.
Zagi is Yuri's servant XD Zagi is just a bit... too fond of Yuri~!
The volume 1 of the manga adaptation of Tales of Graces is now out. It was released on October 27th. The manga is serialized in Viva :)
Yes you see it right, that's Coda from Tales of Innocence with human face hahaha!

HIVE cover was calling out to me and before I realized it, my order was already made haha. I'll take pics of them (no scan, just cam pics, besides the covers and BLACKOUT, don't want to bend them :S) in my usual place, just tell me which one you want to see first :) Btw more are on the way~~*
Last message, I've added my tumblr posts in my
