Welcome home, Louise!

Louise finally arrived all the way from Japan this morning! It's a long journey from Japan to Illinois so I decided to let her out of the box...

After this picture, of course.

Here she is in her room.

Miku stops by to welcome her, but she's startled by this tall blue haired person.

She also managed to get into a fight with Saber.

She's a little stressed out from the ordeal.

Hey, a familiar face! But something's off...

She's crying again! But now she takes things into her own hands....

"No one can escape the power of tsundere!"

But in the end, Louise manages to find a new friend, and her new home is pretty good after all. Louise's room background and the Saito standees came with her. She was the Hobby Stock exclusive version. I got her from Tokyo Hunter's ebay store. She was only $34, but I ended up paying $24 shipping for EMS because I didn't want to wait, plus I didn't want her getting lost with SAL shipping. I really love her, but I'll probably get another Figma first. I'm hoping I can get my hands on the casual clothes Saber or the Drossel re-release. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures of Louise's first day in the U.S.!

Forest Preserve Visit

These are some of the pictures I took at the forest preserve last weekend. I didn't get too many because the sun was setting and I was getting eaten up by mosquitos. I only got a few shots of Miku herself, I didn't take Saber out because she was heavier and harder to pose. Anyway, these were my favorites of the batch. I don't know the names of any of these plants, trees, or flowers, unfortunately.

Not a lot of figure shots, and you're probably tired of seeing Miku, right? Well, I've fixed that - I ordered the exclusive Hobby Stock version of the Louise nendoroid. Hopefully she'll be shipped tomorrow. I ordered EMS shipping, it cost a lot but she should be here next week. She'll be my first REAL nendoroid, plus she's super cute, so I'm really excited :) I'm sure she'll be terrorizing Miku and Saber when she gets here! I'll be taking lots of pictures, so stay tuned!

Introductory Post

After getting hooked on collecting from Tomopop, I started to get interested in figure photography after seeing so many great pictures. I decided to make a blog to post my pictures. I don't expect a lot of people to see this, but I still enjoy posting pictures, anyway.

Here's a shot of my workspace:

Small, but it does the job. At least I get a decent internet connection in this spot. Now, let me introduce my figure family.

The star of the show, figma Miku:

Her grumpy older sister Saber:

Little sister Nendoroid Miku, who I later found out was a fake. I couldn't just throw her out though:

And Balthier and Ashe, Play Arts figures from Final Fantasy XII:

That's all for now. I have some pictures from a trip to the local forest preserve, but I'll make a post of those later. Welcome to my blog!
