Thought i should probably make a blog page to talk a little bit about website changes, new items and stuff.
First things first: website changes. Sorry if the layout is confusing! I'm trying to come up with ways to organise items and group them in a logical way, which isn't always easy (and knowing me, probably doesn't make a lot of sense either!).
Recently i've made a misc. page for all the items that don't fit anywhere else,but i'm thinking that if i get too many figures from one series i'll add sub pages. I split Dangan ronpa off into its own separate category because i know in my soul that i'll be getting a lot more stuff and i can add sub pages for DR1, DR2 & Despair girls when the time comes.
I've also been thinking about just getting rid of the Genesect collection list. I haven't updated it in around a year so it's no way accurate (i couldn't keep up basically...and then i procrastinated and well..). I thought about moving it to another weebly site and doing in depth info about each item, but i have a feeling it wouldn't be too different from my collection site as is. I dunno. We'll see.
On the figure news front....wonder festival has announced so many amazing new things! You can find a lot of the won fest coverage on sites like tomopop, plastikitty and on the tumblr tag wf2014, so i'm just going to talk about my personal favourites here.
My number one, most anticipated figure is Vertex's Yukari Takeba. I actually can't believe she's finally getting a figure after all this time! For some reason, Yukari got a lot of hate and i don't know why. She's the main girl of P3 (tied with Aigis really) and yet not a single scaled figure had been made before. In fact, it was only November last year that she got her first figure - a lottery chibi. All the P4 girls, Naoto included, have more than her!
Next are some new additions to Kotobukiya's ArtFX line: Sakura and Li from Card Captor Sakura! I was so happy that Sakura got a prize figure (4 prize figures in fact: a crane prize, a large lottery prize and two chibi lottery prizes) and a nendoroid, but now they're making a quality scaled one! And by one of my favourite figure producers too - Koto's quality is really great but also affordable...and they tend to make a lot of male characters, which is pretty rare. I'm really looking forward to Li the most. Hopefully he'll be dynamic and amazing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll follow up these two with a figure of Yue.
My next favourites are tied! Yu Narukami, CCS's Sakura, Yami yugi and Dark magician girl are getting figmas! It seems 2015 will be Card Captor Sakura and Yu-gi-oh!'s year - dark magician girl is also getting a scaled figure.
I'm excited for Yu's figma too. I'll probably buy it, but it's mostly because of what it (hopefully) means - more persona 3 figures! Maybe even boy figmas! Maybe, just maybe, they'll release that Orpheus D-arts they showed off a few years ago, and a Minato figma. I really want that Orpheus D-arts, like now.
Actually, considering how much non figure stuff has been released for Persona 3, i'm really hoping they start making figures soon. It happened for Persona 4 right? I wanna be drowning in Yukari, Fuuka & Mitsuru figures. I want a Junpei and a new Akihiko. It's not too much of a stretch when you consider one of the other announcements at won fest - an Adachi & Magatsu Izanagi figure! Honestly....it's kinda terrible looking. But a lot of P4 fans (myself included, maybe?) will most likely still buy it. It's being made by a company which is apparently kinda crap at making figures so we'll see how successful they are - and what they're charging for it. Because with a face like that i don't think i'm gonna be dropping like 11000 yen on it, let's be honest.
Last but not least are the vocaloid announcements! There are a few, but FREEing's Senbonzakura Rin & Len are the best, for me. I love Len's design, but didn't fall for Miku's as i expected. Rin is kinda eh, but she goes well with Len so there's that. Really looking forward to this one since Lens seem hard to come by compared to the others. I hope they do a Kaito.
Think that's it! Will add more as i think of it.
