rkoldSomeone on DoA wanted to trade a Kasumi head for and Anne/Piccolo head. *__________* I've wanted a little boy Kasumi since he came out. He's one of my favorite Yos. In a way, I feel guilty because Akiyo helped me to get my Anne,but Kasumi.. He'll be such a cute little Asuran and will look even better with Kira and Lux. Now, all I need is a reasonably priced Yuki head and I can have a Shinn. lol

Date: 2006-11-16 03:49 pm (UTC)I adore Chinatsu and Kuuta. ^^
Kasumi and Yuki should I ever get him will both be boys lol Chinatsu is my only planned girl.

Date: 2006-11-16 04:04 pm (UTC)Yuki makes a very cute boy. In fact, I sometimes think Shay looks more like a boy than a girl... guess it depends on the outfit and wig. But I like having a genderless doll with a unisex name just for that reason ^^
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 04:20 pm (UTC)I like my dolls gendered. But I won't be getting one unless I can get one at original price. I won't pay the secondary market one.
Lux is eventually getting a new face-up. It's not dire though and I want to wait until post Christmas, since I have lots of family to get gifts for first. ^^; If she were a blank head that would be different, her default isn't perfect, but it's still cute. I love the Chinatsu/Kuuta mold.
(That and my top choice is in Korea and I feel better about shipping post New Years)
Yuh looks very jowly to me.

Kasumi is a real cutey.

Date: 2006-11-16 03:54 pm (UTC)Thank you!!!!! And wow, I wanted to call before you leave but that is umm tomorrow O_O
Do you want anything from WyldeIvy?
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 03:55 pm (UTC)And I want pictures when you finally get your doll together~! (YES you need a Shinn! :D)
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 04:15 pm (UTC)But hmmmm ok, if you see the one with Yuuta.. It's Yuuta so having 2 is not a bad thing lol
I don't have a Yuki yet, he's a future plan cause I won't pay more than retail. ^^;;;
I need an Asuran wig. lol BTW do you need any more directions?
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 10:46 pm (UTC)Heh, yeah, I don't think I blame you, there!
Well, that shouldn't be too hard to get! (I hope!) I think I'm good on directions, but thanks so much for your help so far! ^_^ I have stuff marked in my atlas and I should be all set, yay~!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 10:55 pm (UTC)One Kira and 1 Lux is enough XD; Though I keep thinking of Shin and Asuran and Meer... >>;; OK I shall be bad since you are offering lol If you could, I would love a Shinn, Asuran and Rey (since he is December) charm. You'll know them because they're small metal Destiny charms with chibis of the characters and various birth months. I can't remember what months Shinn and Asuran are now, but I know Rey is December. I only want Shinn and Asuran if they're not with Stellar or Cagari since I can't stand either XD; (But Meyrin or Lunamaria is good cause I like them ^o^ )
Just remember, go to Ikebukuro and go to Sunshine 60. Pretty much the 2 blocks across from Sunshine 60 and the little park in front of the Prince will have pretty much all the anime and manga shopping you want to do in a small radius. There are other stores, but unless you have hours to spend, this little compact area can keep you VERY occupied since they have a Mandarake, Animate and K-books. ^^
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 11:16 pm (UTC)Hee, sure thing, I'll look for them~ And I totally hear you on the hatred of Stellar, though Cagari isn't so bad in SEED (though she got on my nerves in Destiny, boo D:).
Will do~! I think I'll be a very happy shopper. XD AND my mom has promised to buy me a Seigaku jacket if I'm able to find one, so that requires much squeeage. :D I know there's a Jump Shop near the Tokyo Dome, and I think Animate may sell PoT jackets? I suppose you're the person to ask XD; Do you know where they might sell them? I can't remember if you can only get them at the Jump Festa, which would be sad. D:
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-16 11:27 pm (UTC)Cagari was OK in Seed 01, particularly when she was crushing on Kira and beating up on Frey lol I wanted her to die painfully in Destiny though and was really hoping Shinn would get to do it ~.~ People complain about Relena but she doesn't hold a candle to the annoying girls of Seed/Destiny. Though Lux and Maryuu get so much love, and Ezaria too!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-17 04:03 am (UTC)Yeah, I thought she was cute then, and Frey needed to die about a hundred times over! Relena will never look bad to me again! And Lux > EVERYONE. XD;
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-17 06:21 am (UTC)I so hated Frey. I remember cheering when I read on the upcoming OST there was a piece called the "Death of Frey" an waiting impatiently for them to kill her. lol
(I was watching Seed while it aired at the time and watching the raws about 1 hour after Japan XD; )
Safe trip!!!!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-17 12:28 pm (UTC)Ahaha, yes, I remember that track. I actually kind of like it. XD; But yes, when she died, something was just a little better about theuniverse~
(DUDE! That sounds sooooo awesome~~~)
Thank you! <3 And thanks so much for all your help!!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-17 12:49 pm (UTC)To get there, take the Chuo or Sobu line to JR Nakano station. Take the North exit (You'll get to see the building from X Seishirou destroyed) Walk under the awning with the sun. Just go straight until you are in a building. there are a gabillion Mandarake and anime shops starting on the 2nd or 3rd floor. 4th is mostly empty but has a Cosplay only little store. ^^
Have so so so so so much fun!!!

Date: 2006-11-19 03:32 pm (UTC)THANKS!!!
Poor Shinn! Did you see all 12 months and no Shinn, really? o_O
I know when I was in Japan some of the FMA and KKM ones had sold out, like December. >.<
BTW did you make sure to get a free points card in Animate?
And yeah!!! I'm glad you found your jacket ^__________^
I'm so glad you're finding things, isn't the map book great?
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-19 11:46 pm (UTC)Yes! I looked, like, three times, and I was like "WTF there's NO Shinn!" D: It was very sad. ::shakes head::
Daaaamn~ Go Japanese otaku. ^^;; They had plenty of these guys, so at least that's good! And yes~ K-books had a couple, so I know they won't sell out in the couple of days it'll take me to check Osaka~ 'Cause if they have them there, I'll just get it when I'm with my friend and we can dork around together. XD
Yes, that little map book is the best! :D Thanks so much for recommending it~ Now if only it'd stop raining! (Ahaha, but at least I bought a cute 500-yen umbrella. :D;)
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-20 12:48 am (UTC)The 1000 yen ones are amazing. And Gah, that sucks usually November is not so rainy there. BTW have you seen Fuji-san (not the PoT ones, the more touristy one)
No, K-books is unlikely to sell out, now I have seen plushies sell out.
I'm so glad you love the book. <333 Poor Shinn! I feel heartbroken for him! So your friend is an anime fiend too who will help you find the stores? I've been to two Mandarakes, a K-books, and an Animate in Osaka (I think there is at least 1 other Animate) in Osaka, but I can't give directions well because I am just not as adept with Osaka geography, and I usually take the scenic route to the one in Denden Town and my friends do the underground mall way to get to the one near Umeda. (Those underground malls are the one thing I don't like about Osaka lol I find them horribly confusing. ) When do you leave for Osaka? I think my friends are visiting it sometime this week too.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-20 12:55 am (UTC)I'm just glad I have a backup for my jacket, now I have to figure out what size I wear! I think they actually go down to SS, but I have no idea how the sizing is. :O I may just go with a S if they have that. :D;
We're going to Kyoto on Tuesday and then spending the night in Osaka, and meeting my friend who is an exchange student from Canada staying in Osaka on Wednesday, then heading back to Tokyo that night. She wants to hit up the Mandarakes and go karaoke-ing and such. She knows where some of the stores are, I believe, and I'm going to do a quick online search for them too so I think we should do all right. She knows the area pretty well. ^_^
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-20 01:18 am (UTC)the Umeda one is right near Umeda/Osaka station. I think you walk out on the same side as a Hankyu depato (can't remember which type of depato and there re a few there, but i remember the overpass) and walk several blocks towards an overpass, go under the over pass and go up like two blocks and then go left and then right i think? it's not so far. The Umeda one is pretty big, the DenDen one is smaller but the K-books there is nice. I think you're less likely to see a jacket there but lots of fun stuff. I go to Volks, Gundam and figure shops in the same area. if you want to see the scary $$$ dolls like mine just go to the top floor in the Osaka Volks.
The Gundam store is fun, you might want to check it out. ^_^
When I tried on a jacket several years ago, there was only one size. >>;; they were all too small on me cause I'm plump ^o^ though i can semi squeeze into the m size shirts.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-20 11:25 am (UTC)Ahaha, I could spend so much money in a Gundam store~ >D;
Ahh, that's sad! I do think they make more sizes now, at least. I'm just really short, so I always need small sizes, but the Japanese are all small so I have no idea how that translates over. XD;
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-20 03:14 pm (UTC)osaka subways are really good, but more complicated. i think you can get a free map at a tourist authority.
hehehe yes the gundam only store is evil. i generally try to be careful there. >>;; i love the pinky st style gundam characters. i have kira, asuran, and lux. i sort of want meer and shinn.
I'm not so tall but I am plump lol You're much smaller and thinner from what i remember. I tried on a m, and i could get on the shirt, but by butt was too big and i couldn't zip the jacket over my chest lol it's good i didn't get it since i've gained weight since then >>;;

Date: 2006-11-23 06:48 am (UTC)I forgot to tell you the secret to telling novels from non-novels when sealed lol Kim and I are quite the experts. It involves looking at the squiggles and using your nail to peak between the pages. I still sometimes get text only, but not anywhere near as often.
It's scary how long you can spend looking >>;; So you went to the Mandarake near Umeda/Osaka station?
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-23 01:09 pm (UTC)Ahaha, that's a good tip! I'll keep that in mind in the future~ Like I said, hopefully someone somewhere will buy it, and if not, I guess I paid 200 yen for a pretty cover. XD; Could be worse. :D;
Yep, that's the one! Sting Oakley opened up shop and Kaidoh was running all over the store helping customers. We were so amused. XD And had to literally drag each other out, hehe.
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-23 02:41 pm (UTC)I have seen Blue Crest used, it's a matter of luck. And yes, it is much easier to get experimental for 210 yen. lol I am pretty sure that is how we discovered Blue Crest. Kim got one in 2003 for 210 and then we bought some full price at SCC. I'm glad you found some keepers though ^o^
you could always try to sell them as buybacks before you leave lol
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-23 11:30 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'd imagine so. You're my souce for Blue Crest nowadays. XD; I've been keeping an eye out for them, but no luck so far.
Haha, that's true! I may not get the chance, though - I don't want to go home in two days!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-24 03:31 am (UTC)If you let me know which ones you have now I can try to remember all the different ones they made. They still do some MomoRyo, but also do Other people x Ryoma, like I know they did a RyogaxRyoma one lol
I'll see if I see them in March though ^_^
Awwww, I feel that way during some of my trips, but then I tell myself I have no more room in my bags XD;;;
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-24 09:56 am (UTC)Ooh~ Yes, I'll make a (small!) list of the ones I'd like - there are one or two MomoRyo ones of theirs I'm still on the lookout for, and if they ever do anything else with NiouRyo I'd die. o_o And I'd so squee over a Blue Crest RyogaRyo~ :O I practically bought the Mandarake in Osaka out of RyogaRyo. :D;;
Hehe, yes, that is quickly becoming the case. That and the wad of money I told myself was all I could spend is quickly dwindling. XD; So maybe it's a good thing I have only one more day to shop!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-24 05:41 pm (UTC)I don't own and never did so I can't tell you about the inside in terms of who actually has sex with Ryoma but.. I thought you knew there is a Yagyuu/Niou do Ryoma Blue Crest book. It was part of their 3-some series. ^^ They did OshiAto do Ryoma together, though Oshitari just gets the blow job, whle Keigo gets the sex, and there is a ToriShihi do Ryoma, and a Yagyuu and Niou. Niou also gets a chance to molest him in the Rikkai molests Ryoma one, though I think he doesn't get in as much molestation as Sanada and Kirihara. The Ryoga x Ryoma is thick, I bought a copy once for someone, and I am pretty sure it is quite porny. lol
Ah, the dwindling money prob.. I remember with Kim we had 1000 yen left other than credit cards, so we bought some more doujinshi and pocky for dinner XD;
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-25 01:12 am (UTC)asfklsjfus no I didn't know there was a Niou/Yagyuu x Ryoma threesome one! Maaan~ That sounds awesome. XD Though the Rikkai molests Ryoma one is nearly my favorite doujinshi ever, though~ <3 There's actually quite a bit of Niou x Ryoma in it, though I think Sanada wins out in the end (WTF? XD;). But yesss~ Blue Crest RyogaRyo sounds awesome. I'll remember they have one!
Ahaha, yes, for once I may be glad to have my mother along to buy me dinner tonight! XD
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-25 06:43 pm (UTC)I am trying to remember the details, it came out a long time ago, cause it had been out for a while when I bought the RyogaxRyoma one for someone, and I bought that one for 800 or 900 yen in May '05. I think it might have originally been a short copyhon, like the HyouteixRyoma book, but then got combined with the ToriShishi copyhon to get a full book where the doubles compete for him. I think... I never actually owned it because by then I was starting to mostly want to find Yagyuu with Yuuta more XD;
Hope you had a safe flight back!!!
(no subject)
Date: 2006-11-26 03:26 pm (UTC)Ahhhh~ I see. Huh! Well, now I know it exists and I can keep an eye out for it! XD
Thanks! We did, and just got home~ Now the trick will be staying up 'till a decent hour tonight! :D;
