Kagamin

Yesterday (Saturday the 18th of July 2020) I got another figure. This simple statement, by itself, is not very unique. Every day dozens of people receive their hard earned, lovely figurines from the holy nation, Japan. And even just for me it is not unique, as I receive packages with deliciously sweet content at least once a month.

But yesterday (Saturday the 18th of July 2020) was different. Somewhat. Because I received a figure of a character who is very close to my heart, and who I had waited for with baited breath ever since I ordered her.

I’m talking of course about Kagami Hiiragi, or Kagamin, from Lucky Star.

Now, I have only watched Lucky Star very recently. Somehow it escaped me all these years, despite it being the perfect series for me. Alas, when I finally watched it, I was won over within minutes, and I binged it in a weekend.

Kagamin very quickly earned my love, and the minute I saw a post on My Figure Collection someone had done about her, I needed to get her. Luckily, the good folks at Solaris Japan were happy to help ’cause they had her in stock, brand new (giving the age of the anime, the figure is quite old).

It took roughly three weeks to arrive at my doorstep. I won’t say how much it cost, but it was a lot. And worth every single cent!

As you can see from the above table I did preorder an awful amount of figures (for someone with my income) for January 2020. To be fair, honest and in my defense, some of these were originally meant to be released in November and December of 2019, respectively, but were delayed 1 and 2 months.

I love all of these. Especially the baseball girl, yakyuu musume. Love her. Utsugi is also great. Rikka is just being Rikka. I haven’t seen Food Wars yet.

Maybe given that the original release date for all these figures was in December actually I should change the post name but they were charged and got shipped in January, so. Don’t hold it against me.

Buyfaggotry is me again

These past two weeks I’ve been racking up preorders faster than ever before. I’m finally in my element again. And I don’t care if people call it “plastic crap”, to me these are the most beautiful things in the whole wide world.

Sidenote: I will need much more storage space than I currently have, but that’s been a problem since 2016. Nothing that ever stopped me.

Going with the flow | Christian Bale | I will never part with my figures, they’re my precious

I think I’ve given up trying to change anything. Instead I’ll just let things happen to me. And if nothing comes up, I’ll just do nothing. That is a very easy lifestyle.

Christian Bale is a god among humans, animals, everything, and he should be treated as such.

Also, he’s best live-action Batman. And best live-action Bruce Wayne. And I think I fell in love with Pat Bateman.

I wish I could do the beauty regiment Pat does. Or be in shape as Pat is. Or be close to Pat.

I hate changes, but I love spontaneity. I hate going somewhere without knowing where I’ll sleep, but point me to a cumpster dumpster motel that always has free rooms because the bugs took over and I’ll go anywhere.
In the past I loved just visiting random friends on a whim and kill time like that. I can’t do that anymore.

I started another spreadsheet about my figure collection yesterday night (actually today, early Sunday, but whatever) and I finally realized that I’ll never sell them because they’re way to precious and comforting to me.

The reason why there’s only one cute picture in today’s post is because someone called me out on it, and while I don’t bow to anyone, I wanted to try if this makes any kind of sense. (I think it does not. I think it’s stupid, and my idea was brilliant.)

Lol, creativity == 0.

Compare these two statements:
I have 19 figures (anime-themed) unopened in mint condition in my room right now. They probably worth at least 500 bucks, maybe even ~750.

My bank account is in the red. I'm not selling/trying to sell the figures.

Please help me figure out my life.
