  • I have discussed how I use 3M film to protect my figurine collection from dust, but there was always a big flaw in my original plan.  The fact that I leave the bottom edge open for easy access has led to some figurines being covered in dust due to air draft from some of my computers.  As anyone who has done failure mode analysis would tell you, prevention is always weighted more importantly than detection.  Cleaning the dust after you see them is in no way as effective as preventing the dust from accumulating in the first place.  It's also my believe that dust get attracted to object because of the charged ion in the air within indoor environment.  Conventionally, you would use a brush to brush off the dust, but that alone could generate static charge on the surface that ended up attracting the dust again.  Have you ever gotten the feeling why you can't quite brush the dust off?

  • I am particularly worried about this Queen's Gate Alice shipment, since it has taken almost 3 weeks for it to arrive.  Luckily, the shipper finally agreed to ship Alice out with a card board box (Pretty weak looking box if you ask me, and no bubble wrap).  I would like to mention special thanks to comrade twu from theinfernoproject.wordpress.com for his warning on this seller's habit of not properly packaging shipment and enrius from enrius.wordpress.com for giving us his status as well.  Since we all have ordered Alice from the same ebay seller.  This is excellent collaboration at work here.

  • Choko Sennin Haruka is a heroine, insult, ninja, training + ADV eroge game release by Alicesoft back in Feburary 2008.  Previously released figure related to this series includes Takamori Haruka from Alter and the yet to be released Shihoudo Narika also from Alter.  Subaru is considered as the third and non-cannon heroine as she only joins you mid-way through the game and did not have her own cho-henshin costume.  Despite the fact that Alicesoft did not consider her as main heroine, she is actually rather popular among the fans; probably due to her mature body build and her beautiful long black hair + ponytail.  In this write up, I am going to attempt to give a summary of the game story as I would focus Subaru's story as she joins the team as I don't think I can talk about Subaru without talking about Haruka and Narika.  I would finish Narika and Haruka's stories in future write ups, otherwise, it would be too long.

  • For the past few days I have been replaying Beat Blade Haruka (or Choko Sennin Haruka) for Subaru's background story to go with her photos shoot.  During the process I think I realized I have always had a soft spot for tsundere (think Asuka Langley Soryu from Evangelion).  I never really knew why I bought so many of her figures, I always though it was the long hair, but there must be more to it.  Then I realized it has got to be the tsundere effect (I only learned about this term recently).  And a few days ago, Alter open this figure for reservation.
