AmiAmi July Package

Today I bring you guys a set of pictures from my latest package from AmiAmi and I have to say it was probably one of the cheapest shipping prices I have paid to date for the amount of figures, but I only have one small complaint and it seems to be due to packaging which I will explain at the end of the post. With that being said, let's take a look at all the great stuff AmiAmi provides.

First up, is my new phone case. Its a silicone case based on the Monster hunter series and a good alternative for those looking for a cheap case or game related phone case. I purchased it for 1780 yen and the price has slightly increased since. Overall its an affordable cute looking case and it will do its job which is "protect" your phone but really just make it look good.

Yup, at first glance you can tell how good the case looks ^^ 

My set up was too small so I had to take one sideways, but I really like this purchase
and can't wait to have it on my phone :D

Next items in the package are the AkibaRanger girls (Blue and Yellow). I am a huge fan of AkibaRanger and I get the most I can from the series. This set of girls will complete my AkibaRanger season 2 SH figuarts and I can't wait to pose them in ways similar to the show >.<

Akiba Blue wearing the new suit looks great and a great looking box too

In the back of the box we can see some poses for the figure and also its extra parts for the bazooka

Akiba Yellow probably looks great with the box design. Makes me not want to take her out of the box >.<

In the back of the box we find some poses and the last piece for the bazooka as a bonus part.


Next up is Tyranno Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger or also known as the Red Ranger in America from MMPR. At the price of 2570 yen it is a great collectible for Sentai and MMPR fans. Although, this version belongs to Sentai and its MMPR counterpart is being released soon. I might end up getting both releases if the Yellow ranger is actually released with a female body for America.

Such a cool looking box for a great figure and its affordable too :D

On the back of the box we can take a look at some poses and also bonus parts
to make him become a Powerful Ranger (shot got out of the range of my set up >.<)

Lastly, one of my most anticipated nendoroid to be released and it is Mikudayo!!!!!!!!! I was supposed to get her a month or two ago but it kept getting pushed back for some reason but she is finally here to take over my figures and get the respect she deserves (I am imagining things now ._.')

We can take a look at the beast from the front and it looks great (b")b

Side box view and some poses, also offering candy xD
Some sort of "cute" wannabe pose and a hug pose are shown here xD

Creepy smiles are shown in the back of the box and it does not disappoint

 I really enjoy everything I got in my package this time and once again it was the cheapest to ship for some reason. So props to AmiAmi for helping me buy figures from Japan at a really low price (lower than retail). So for anybody looking to purchase figures straight from a Japanese dealer (in English) I would recommend AmiAmi highly because they usually stock exclusive items and also have a Pre-owned section with great variety to choose from and great low prices.

Now to the bad part which is not really bad and by no means am I blaming AmiAmi for this small problem, I am just pointing it out because it is a first and I had always received excellent service from them. So the small problem is that one of my boxes got crushed because it was on top of the other one; I do not know how it happened but it seems to me that at the time of packaging it was put incorrectly. This is a first from AmiAmi but at least the damage is not bad and is to the box only. Here are some pictures from when I first opened my package:

Seems as if the box were on top of the other one causing it to bend with pressure 

Closer look at the part where the incident occurred 
Small damage to the box




Well this has been my first post on a package unboxing and it feels great >:3
I'll probably do more once I get more packages and I wish I did this with earlier packages =_='

Shinonome Satsuki "High Priestess - 1/8"

Today I bring you one of my most favorite figure~
Shinonome Satsuki from the Anime "Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate"
"High Priestess - 1/8 (MegaHouse)"
Shinonome and her Box
(My set up for shooting photos is simple. All I have is a big blue sheet of paper. It leans against the wall and curves down on the table. I use that Ramune bottom to keep it form slipping away.)

I got Shinonome via AmiAmi She sold for 5,360 JPY on her Release Date late Nov-2011.
For that price I think shes was worth it~ Its not much to ask for the amount of beauty brings into your home.


Lets look at that cute face of hers~






















She has such a cute pose~ Girls playing with their hair just has something cute about it.
It brings out femininity.

She comes with two different face expressions~
This face is the one I love the most. This "Serious" face of hers really brings out her beauty.
This stern face of her really lets you know she means business.
(Makes her more Student Council President material)
I would love for her to boss me around and tell me what to do~

I never liked switching the faces, I always feel that I'm going to brake her, or something like that.

Face No.2
This face is cute too~ A smile from a girl like this just brings joy in your heart.

Full body shot
Shinonome has such a nice body~ So much woman. She stands tall with those lovey legs of hers.
I love the uniform in Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate. The uniform has a nice color and A-line shape to it. The overall design looks really good on Shinonome~ It really brings out her chest area.
Other than her chest, her waist and hips suit her very well~


Check that Chest~  Nice 85cm

Her Measurements read [Height: 163cm, Weight: 47kg, Bust-Waist-Hips: 85-58-84cm]



Back View
I have always loved girls with long hair~
The way it flows down her back is so elegant.

Boots~
Best thing about her has to be the boots~ Love the lacing and hight of them.
She stands on a chocolate stand that I think looks good with the figure.
High boots like these are very attractive, She can step all over me any day~ 

Lets take a look...








I always say "Its a must to look under the skirt. `Cause someone had to work on crafting what is down there and it would be a waste not to look at it."

Shinonome has plain white panties. I feel that plain white panties brings a pure and clean feel.



Make sure you vote for Shinonome in the up coming Student Council Election~

Figuarts Zero Perona Review

To start off the review series, we will start with the ghost princess Perona from One Piece. This Figuarts Zero Released back in 2012 has great quality and is priced for anybody with a low budget looking for fine quality. This figure is a great alternative for those looking to save space, save money, or just simply want to add an item to their collection. It is a great representation of the anime character and it just looks great in any shelf, case, etc.

A great looking piece, full of details, for almost any budget.
As we can see, this figure is for displaying and cannot be posed any other way. I think of it as a small replica of the P.O.P. version. The only downside I find on the figure is the price, because even though at its $40 USD price tag is still high compared to the P.O.P version being marked down to about $70 USD. In my opinion I would much rather get the P.O.P. version but it can be a great purchase to those who want to pay less shipping costs and are looking to save space. Other than that all I have to say is I am impressed with the quality Bandai is bringing their new figure lines and can not wait for what future releases look like.  Some detailed pictures below:

A closer look at the accessories and companion of the figure

Closer look at the detail on the paint

All the smile details on this one xD

And lastly the base and quality of the boots. 

Well this has been the first post and somewhat of a rant review. Hope you guys like it and more coming on the way.
