  • OTACOOL Room Photo Submission

    It seems that Kotobukiya and Danny have been working closely to bring about more synergy between figurine manufacturer and us collectors through Danny's newly launched figure.fm; Kotobukiya loves the otaku room photos that were submitted to the 20090326 giveaway so much that they are planning to publish a book based on otaku room photos named - OTACOOL. In response to Danny's call to submit new photos, I once again took out my digital camera and started snapping photos of my command center!

  • 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?

  • So I finally completed the Hiyori arc last night, it was good... better than I thought it would be (I played too many dark eroge, a light hearted love story is a good change of pace).  Now Chu x Chu is not a new game anymore, it was released back in 2007.  It didn't catch my attention then, the only reason why I decided to play the game was because of the numerous reviews I came across on Hiyori Pixie figure by GSC.  The pose is graceful, the facial expression is charming and the costume or lack thereof, plus the ability to cast off.  I usually prefer figurine with long hair but she will do fine without it and make it up via other departments.
