Here are some of my anime and manga keychains that I own. These keychains were the ones that I got from Akibento. At the time when they were in buisness, they would always have keychains packed inside their boxes, and they look really great. Now, of course, the only ones that didn’t come from the Akibento boxes are the Koro-Sensei and Silica keychains. They look really adorable, and I love their design, and the fact they came with some bookmarkers was extremely useful. Of all the keychains, Koro-Sensei is, no doubt, my favorite. Hopefully I can some more in the future. Also, don’t mind my atrocious photoshoot. For some reason, it just looks so below in quality.
One of the things that I have always done being an otaku is to never throw away my boxes of anime figurines + Gunpla boxes as well. For me, anime boxes aren’t just boxes that store your figurines inside for practical use and safety, but they also exist to make your room or any place stand out with strong otaku aesthetic. The way how the boxes are designed and colored, is just vastly unique compared to other figurine boxes. If we want to talk about practical use, then the boxes serve as use for keeping figurines safe when needing to move somewhere else. Just seeing the boxes pilled up all together and being place in a room full of otaku merch everywhere, gives the room, boxes, and every other piece of merch, brought to life. It not only symbolizes what your room is, but it also displays the amount of anime figurines that you currently own. Overall, in my opinion, boxes of anime figures are a lovely collection to keep, and shouldn’t be thrown away. They are nicely designed, extremely useful for transportation, and hold an important meaning for rooms with otaku design. Soon, I will be making an article on the art of anime figurine boxes.
Also, if you guessed it, my favorite box is the Konomi Yuzuhara box from To Heart 2 that was released back in 2005. Her box, and her figure, are overall just well-designed for something that was 19 years ago. Soon, I will be making an article about her figurine, and my story with encounter her back at the Ocala Comicon as well. Stay tuned!
My fellow Otakus, it has been a while since I have last published something new. Well, finally now that’s out of the way and I can get back to doing my stuff. Today, I would like to introduce you all to my newest Gunpla member of the family. The adorable and destructive Guntank from the original Mobile Suit Gundam of 1979. I am going to be blunt and honest with you, but this model kit is actually my second favorite model kit of all time since I first started 4 years ago, second only to the Quanta RG. In spite of not being a Gundam and the first non-mobile suit in my collection. This kit is very easy to build, and it only takes an hour to a few hours, depending on your skill and speed. The pieces are simple, and doesn’t require so much problem-solving skills to build it. However, my complaint with this model kit is how sometimes the pieces can break if not done properly, and the manual doesn’t explain the instructions on some parts too well. I actually had to use superglue on two of the wheels, but it looks just fine, so there is no need to worry. Overall, I would definitely recommend this model kit.
You know, it’s hilarious. Sometimes when I look at my collection, I’m always saying to myself, “you don’t own a lot” you have to collect some more”, then here I completely forget underneath in my otaku shelf that I have two other adorable otaku merch that I haven’t shown off yet. It just shows how much otaku goodies I own. Now, back to the topic, here are these two adorable foxes that act as piggy banks (if eevee is a fox, lol). It was nearly seven years ago in 2016, when a precious one of mine gifted with these two adorable ones to my life, the eevee, and the kitsune. To this day, I still hold them dearly and whenever I look at them, I always smile with an emotional look because that precious and beautiful memory always pops into my mind. The photo looks great, and it pleases me that these two got a nice shot. Also, I added Emboar and Tails as extras because of, well… You know, for kicks!
After showing off my Kamen Rider Lion Senki figure from Bandai’s Tamashii Nations, the figure now finds itself feeling at home with its other fellow figures. This glass shelf for anime figurines on the top is just literally Bandai haven, lol. It feels perfect to finally have a merchandise that involves Tokusatsu. Hopefully soon if the God’s Will, I can add Godzilla, Ultraman, Super Sentai, and plenty of other Tokusatsu icons to my collection. As for the photography, it feels moderate. It doesn’t necessarily look bad, but definitely not as good as the previous one I took. Hopefully, there is always room for improvement in the future. For now, just enjoy and awe yourself looking at my slick Kamen Rider figure jiji!
