New loots

Got a package from Mandarake today.
I used DHL just because and I was worried that it'd take a while to get here, but it was about four days in transit. Not too horrible, I think I might use them during the times of year when EMS is a pain in the ass to deal with.


Today's loot.

Pureneemo Lycee: Progression (weird name) and a bunch of doujinshi I got to fill out the order since only getting one thing just seemed like a waste. :/

Somehow, all but two ended up oni-related. That wasn't intentional, but eh.




Lycee herself is pretty nice, though there were a LOT of loose threads in the underside of her coat that I had to trim so they wouldn't stick out and make me have an OCD-related aneurysm.

She also has no extra hands, unlike Marisa and Koron. Kind of lame, that. :/

But eh. I HAS MORE DOLLS.

figma Homura GET

Figma Homura finally came in the mail last Wednesday, after six weeks of waiting.

I am never using SAL for something I actually care about during the month of December again, seriously.

Homura's pretty great, though. Well worth the money.

And now I will talk about dolls.

Yeah... now that I have Koron, I'm really glad that Marisa was my first Pureneemo. Koron is of a FAR higher level of quality than Marisa, and I would have been seriously disappointed if I'd already been used to said level.

Marisa's outfit.

Everything's pretty simple velcro and elastic, though her skirt does have a clasp and the apron is fastened by a metal snap.


Koron's outfit.

Her main dress has an actual zipper, the apron bit has both clasps and snaps, the collar and ribbon are clasps and the rest is elastic. Doesn't look like horribly much on a table like this, but it has a LOT of volume when it's all on her.

Marisa's, on the other hand, is exactly what it looks like. :/


Probably the biggest surprise when I got Koron was the hair. She has like twice the actual amount as Marisa, and it's also rooted lower so I don't have to worry about it looking weird.

So yeah. Koron is crazy high quality, far more than I was expecting. Cute as hell too.

I still heart Marisa, though.


Switched them just because, and I am never doing it again. I have a newfound respect for blogpeoples who do daily pictures of them in different outfits each day. orz

Majokko Koron

Continuing the Christmasness, another friend sent me something from Mandarake.

Ex Cute Majokko Koron, little witch of the wind.

I've been wanting this one since Azone first did a display at the summer Wonfes because DEAR GOD SO CUTE AAGH, but I had no money at the time and so I wasn't able to preorder. >_<

But no worries, as interwebs friends is the best kind of friends and yay.

Too busy to take any proper pictures at the moment, but ころんちゃんチョーかわいいんだＺＥ

Marisa GET

So yesterday, my Pure Neemo Marisa doll finally came in.


Looks like the boxes for this series is will all be "generic Touhou box," the identifying stuff like the character name and parts list are all stickers that go onto it.


So I took her out of the box and fixed the ribbon on her braid (you have to do it yourself) and 魔理沙かわいいよ魔理沙


Parts list said "five types of hands," which I was totally fine with. But then I open the box and she has a total of ten different pairs of hands. Holy shit.


Azone's Pure Neemo body looks nice, but the poseability is pretty limited. The shoulders and hips only move front and back, which kind of limits the amount of dumb stuff I can do with her. :/

The Obitsu body looks to have a full range of articulation, but I don't care for the way the joints look... yay tradeoffs.

And then I got stupid:



DOUBLE MASTER SPARK



Marisa stole the precious thing



I'm totally going to use this as my avatar on fg-Site.


So yeah, after seeing how SUPER MEGA ULTRA CUTE Marisa was, I finally broke down and preordered Remilia. Shame that Reimu and Sakuya are kind of eh, but I suppose it's better on my wallet this way.

Azone 霧雨魔理沙

Friend of mine showed me this, which caused me to lose my mind and obsessively check Amiami until they had her up for preorder. She's just too cute, damn it.

...probably way too much money, but it's Marisa and I heart her more than any Touhou character that isn't Suika. (Alice wavers from equal to Marisa to slightly below her.)

At least she comes out in August, which gives me plenty of time to save up. Ten dollars a week would do it easily.

Though I know I'm just going to stall like I always do and then freak out come August and pray that I get enough birthday money to afford her. :/


...now watch them announce Alice next month and then a Zenigame goes crazy with the preorders once more.

Mana GET

Mana came in the mail on Tuesday.

Considering that she was shipped out on Monday of the previous week, that's pretty damned good.

She's also pretty fun to mess around with.

のぞみがない

After getting Aya and seeing how adorable she is, I decided to go and grab Nozomi, who was on sale for 40% off.

...but two days later, Hobbysearch sent me a mail saying that she was out of stock. >_<

So I went and ordered Mana instead, who was also on sale but for not as good as a deal. I'd meant to get her after Nozomi came in, but my hand was forced so AAGH.

...I suppose I should also get around to playing the game past the five minutes before the opening movie...

Kagura Aya

I got figma Kagura Aya in the mail today.

She is adorable.

That is all.
