Want to know a shocking revaluation that I’m about to tell you? The last time I bought new hot wheels cars for my collection, was…

Gurren Lagann Aired
Clannad Aired
Lucky Star Aired
Super Mario Galaxy came out
The Orange Box was released
Halo 3 was released
George W. Bush was in his 7th year in office
Chad Warden and Chocolate Rain were internet sensations
The Red Sox won The World Series for the second time this century
The Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, DS, and PSP were the current systems
Apple released the smartphone
AMVs users used Linkin Park and V for Vendetta

Yep… That’s how long it’s been since I bought new hot wheels cars… In fact, that was 17 years ago. That year was none other than 2007. That was the last year I ever got myself new hot wheels cars. It was also the last year that I was ever interested in buying new hot wheels cars. Since then, my interest for hot wheels remained basically limbo for more than 13 years between 2008-2022. In 2023, that changed officially. I expanded my otaku lifestyle to further heights. Hot Wheels is certainly one of these new interests. Just seeing those new Hot Wheels cars of mine gives me such a warm and nostalgic feeling. It feels like as if I was 9–10 years old again. I can’t wait to open them. I’ll add them to my collection. Soon, I will give a review on them! So for now, stay tuned!

My Culturefly Dragon Ball Z – Dragon Ball Ramen Bowl Set

Posted on November 16, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

Here is one of the new Ramen Bowl Sets that I recently got. I have had this for at least eight days now. I have been wanting to show it for a while. Yet, due to the busy stuff going on in my life, I wasn’t capable of showing it yet. Now, here it is! This Dragon Ball Ramen Bowl set from Culturefly is a really fine piece of creation. Other sets are available, like My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and an originally designed Ramen bowl. I chose Dragon Ball because the design looked nicer in my opinion. What I like about it is its well-thought-out design. It is practical because it is a food-safe bowl. You can use it to eat foods, like Ramen, cereal, or even soup. Yes, you guessed it! In fact, I already used my Ramen bowl to eat Ramen and cereal in it. I like the detail of the Dragon Ball themes. The color palette with the dragon balls added to the design of the Ramen bowl is wonderful. The chopsticks and the spoon are also great. They are not only for show but for use as well.

But, I do have a complaint about this Ramen bowl set. The ceramic material used for this bowl is fragile, weak, and if not careful, can easily break. In fact, I have a sad truth for this bowl… The spoon of this Ramen bowl set broke easily. It happened when it softly fell on the kitchen table. The tip of the spoon broke easily. I had to use superglue to fix it, but the scratch marks on the spoon’s tip are still noticeable. So if you are going to use it for something, be REALLY careful. I do have to say that Culturefly did make a huge mistake in that sense.

Regardless, it’s still a nice piece of work. I would definitely recommend any otakus to buy this Ramen bowl set. Use it for food to stand out as the otaku eating with a unique bowl. Everyone else uses a normal bowl jiji!

My New Koro-sensei – Super Figure Collection (#16) – 1/10 (ABYstyle Studio)

Posted on November 2, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

My… Okay… I knew that this Koro-sensei figure was going to look awesome. Still, I honestly didn’t expect it to look THIS amazing. In fact, oh boy… I don’t know if this figure is the best one that I own so far…? This awesome figure is giving my Konomi Yuzuhara figure a run for her money. The detail added makes this figure so remarkable. I mean, look at it! It looks so WELL detailed. I honestly can say it rivals even that of the Assassination Classroom live action movie. Heck, it looks 100% like it’s actual manga and anime design. Wow, ABYstyle Studio… You truly nailed it… I can’t declare yet if this is the best figure yet. I can definitely say that this figure is top tier. I don’t know how ABYstyle Studio managed this, but they did an awesome job with this Koro-sensei figure. Because of this, I am now officially interested in buying more from ABYstyle Studio.

What makes this figure so stunning for me, is the detail. I really like how this figurine from ABYstyle Studio matches Koro-sensei’s detail from the original source material. This includes the manga and, heck, why not the anime adaptation as well? The texture and touch of Koro-sensei feels so great. It psychologically makes you feel like you are touching something valuable. You can feel the high quality of the material on this figurine. Its size and length joined with the detail also make it stunning. Koro-sensei’s blend of its color format that uses yellow, black, and white just makes it look so great. The detail is so highly faithful to its original look that it’s literally impossible to call it a bootleg. Keep in mind, this is officially a licensed figurine from France, and they are by the name of ABYstyle Studio. They have truly done an amazing job making this figurine.

This anime figure made by ABYstyle Studio was released in 2022 based on my research. It’s unfair to say that much time has passed since 2022 was only 2 years ago. Still, I believe that over the years, this figure will age like fine wine. In 10 years since this figure was made, it will still look good and match with the others. If you want a nice looking anime figure with an excellent size, nice texture, and perfect design, choose this figure. It looks exactly like its manga or anime design. IS FOR YOU!!! Now, I will wonder if this anime and manga figure is my favorite of all time. I will have intense debates with myself. I don’t know… All I have got to say is… Careful Konomi… he will take your spot…

Koro-sensei. Welcome to the figure family!!! New member number 25!!!

Posted on November 2, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

Phew… It’s been a while since I last did something like this. I know earlier, I said that I was in Hiatus with my busy life. The truth is, I still am. The good news is, with extra time on my hands, I got a little surprise to show all of you. Yes, a newly boxed Koro-sensei figure from ABYstyle Studio. I really can’t wait to open this and see how it looks. All I can say is, it looks STUNNING! This figure will probably be my second favorite in my collection. Konomi Yuzuhara’s figure is the only one I like more. Stay tuned for when I took a full photo shoot of Koro-sensei outside the box.

Posted on October 31, 2024 by Otaku_Kurai

Unfortunately, due to the busy and chaotic schedule going on in my life. I will have to announce a delay that I will not be capable of predicting when it will be over. For now, I sincerely hope that things will get better, and I will hopefully come back soon. Thank you for your patience, and God Bless you!
