Tokidoki Toys

Okay, these may not be anime-based figures, but I'm guessing that they are, at the very least, Japan-inspired. (It doesn't take a genius to figure that out, actually since Tokidoki itself is Japanese ^^;) These are the figures based from Tokidoki characters. In case you aren't aware of Tokidoki, they've had collaborations with Hello Kitty and LeSportSac. Tokidoki's characters are all cute, as you can see on the picture on your left. The woman on the picture is also a Tokidoki character, but I like them chibi and all SD.

Here are the Tokidoki toys. Some of them are vinyl, the others, I've no idea lol. So kawaii~

The characters above are (L-R) Cactus Pups, Carina, Bruttino, The Moofia, Adios, Ciao Ciao, Sandy, Mozzarella and Sabochan. The Moofia are like trading figures that comes to you in a box with a random Moofia inside. They really aren't cute right? I've never seen them in our local malls, except for the LeSportSac bags (which are really expensive), so I'm guessing there isn't any here.

They are cute, right? X3

Oneechanbara - Sexy girls in (live!) action

Another video game is getting its own live-action movie adaptation!

Oneechanbara, with its characters like Reika, Saki and of course, Aya, is set to come out this year (2008) in Japan. As for the release dates in other countries...well there aren't really any yet.

Anyway, the main cast are:

Aya - Otoguro Eri
Saki - Nakamura Chise
Reiko - Hashimoto Manami

And well since there isn't really that much to write yet, here are some pictures and movie stills for your viewing pleasure.

I am so dying to have these

These are the five released figures of Good Smile Company from their Shuraki series. They're quite pricey, and lacking the financial resources right now, I can only dream about owning these beauties.

Oh...in case you didn't know, they're all cast-off.

Shuraki vol. 1 - Mishiro Akatsuki

Shuraki vol. 2 Liu Meifeng

Shuraki vol. 3 Char Rhousemann

Danboard hyper-mode!

If you're not familiar with Danboard, it's a "special" character from Yotsuba&!, a manga by Azuma Kiyohiko (author of Azumanga Daioh). Danboard is a cardboard robot but in actuality, it's a project of Ena and Miura (both characters of Yotsuba&!). Miura's inside the robot but Ena told Yotsuba that it's a real robot. Or something like that.

Anyway, here's a Danboard in hyper-mode. Notice the extensive parts attached to it.






In case you're wondering if the images above are real, they are. That Danboard is made with FIVE Danboards attached to each other:


Cool, huh?
