happy birthday to me!

[wednesday_10_00]

(This stuff came a week too late to be a real birthday present, but "present to myself" was my excuse for this grotesque display of consumerism.)

THE BOX:




For scale, shown with July manga order (top) and cat (bottom). Also, in the top picture, you can see my new Twinkle plushie, which was an exclusive mail-in offer for buying all the season 1 Sekaiichi Hatsukoi special edition DVDs (though I had to pay an arm and a leg to have a deputy service to get it to me). I was expecting her to be the same size as my Suzuki-san plush, but she's quite a bit bigger. Anyway...



Unpacking.



Everything all spread out. From left: kung fu dugong, guard point chopper (one to hang in my car, one to keep nice in my room because I expect the one in my car to fade), four wanted posters in the skinny boxes (Luffy, Zoro, Sogeking, Chopper), Perona*, Sogeking, Strong World Chopper figures; in the middle are (ridiculously expensive!!) placemats and a clear file from Animate Cafe's Junjou Romantica event, Hello Kitty x Chopper clips, and two Winter Comiket doujinshi (Chintsubu I and a Rule Sono Ichi thing--sadly, I could not find a single Yasashiku Shinaide 6 auction during about two weeks of searching).

*Not like Perona's a favorite character or anything; I just really like her design. I guess I'm as bad as any fanboy...though I didn't take any pleasure in her sexy panties.



The new shelf arrangement--I really should put the One Piece figures on a deeper bookcase (they are forced almost sideways on this one), but that would take a major overhaul of my current nick-knack/figure/toy configuration.

(I would also take a picture of the dugong and Chopper in their new home, but my plushie pile needs to be rearranged and I think it might be an all day project. OK, slight exaggeration, but I have a LOT of plushies.)



Closeup.

(Next on my list: Strong World Zoro? [Strong World Zoro is hella expensive!] Ace? Luffy? Robin? Wedding version Hancock? [Haha, not really, but it's hilarious that this exists.] Not sure, but that's OK, because my budget needs a little recovery time. I'm certainly not buying three at once next time, sheesh.)

Hee...based on the ginormity that is Twinkle, my response is now, "wow, that's one big cat."

Is it just me, or is Twinkle ironically huge? Like too huge to be "cute."

Poor Wednesday. Does this make her look smaller?

It's not just you. I wish she was smaller. Or at least that her head was smaller in proportion to her body.

(Edited to remove extra picture. How did that even happen?)
