::USELESS THOUGHTS x PLAST!C REAL!TY::

Finally acquired these figures which I paid some months ago. Just requested the store to ship it together w/ Nendoroid & Figma BRS.

+ GSC Nendo Petit Bakemonogatari Set 1
+ GSC Nendo Brighter than Dawning Blue Feena Fam Earthlight
+ GSC Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha the 1st Movie Nendoroid Fate Testarossa
+ GSC Black Rock Shooter Nendo BRS
+ Max Factory Black Rock Shooter Figma BRS

Still no plans to open the boxes yet. Searching for a Nendoroid Nanoha, a cheaper one since it’s almost rare now even in Japan. Local store price is about Php4,000(Y8,000) or so. I don’t know if it’s a reasonable price but I don’t think I can handle that much for just a nendoroid.

It’s been irritating and humiliating on my part that I got these shitty bootleg figures as a collector for almost 4 years. I got tempted to ask my cousin in Cebu City to get this set for me from Tamiya Ayala.. I know that the price of Php900.00 for set of 4 is pretty suspicious but still, I got tempted and considering prize figures like these costs really cheap. I’ve seen the set at Tamiya when I was in Cebu City last week but the mistake I made was that I didn’t take a closer look at the actual contents. Most of their anime figures are bootlegs. Nendoroids at below Php 1,000.00 w/ glossy faces? Pretty suspicious for those seasoned collectors.

On outside they look pretty authentic.

But the actual contents are fakes! Their faces are pretty glossy, the colors were a bit off, paintjob ain’t good compared to the authentic, the sculpting still got those bits n pieces left. I know some of prize figures’ paintjobs aren’t perfect but these craps are pretty obvious judging by their extremely messy paintjobs upclose.

Spot the obvious diff. between the bootleg and the real one.

How I wish I could burn these craps to ashes…

Oh, well… shit could happen to anyone.

A friend asked me to buy this Totoro plush for his sister who is still living in Cebu City. Wallscroll & RG kit is mine. ^^;

My very first wallscroll, an Eva girls in swimwear wallscroll.

This is a full japanese texts book but it should help me get ideas on a good figure photoshoot setup.

Update: For those who are curious about what the book is about, please follow this link or this official page.

Applied Tamiya Light Gray paint to the whole kit, and chrome silver to the hydraulic shaft part.
A bit dizzy, room was reek of chemical. Turning on the fan was not enough for ventilation.
