Nemmy and stress, not a good combination

Like last week, I'm still feeling the same, only way more stressed from having another dealing with those fuckers at HMRC and Parcelfarce that cost me £31 in fees!


Monday, Fan2Fan, I received...

• Kotobukiya 1/8 Kuroko Shirai
• Alter 1/8 Yui Hirasawa
• Alter 1/8 Mio Akiyama
  

Monday, Fan2Fan, I also received...

• DX Chogokin VF-27β Lucifer Valkyrie Grace O' Connor Custom
  
• Busou Shinki Altlene (with bonus helmet)
• Alternity A-04 Starscream White Pearl
  
• Alternity A-04 Skywarp Witch Purple Pearl
  
• S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Skull
• figma Mio Akiyama
• Henkei! Henkei! Gentei! Gentei! Dark Skyfire
  

Thursday, Kapow Toys and derbycitymedia, I received...

• Generations Cybertronian Optimus Prime
• Generations Cybertronian Bumblebee
• Revenge of the Fallen Autobot Skids & Mudflap
• Generations Autobot Drift
• Generations Thrust
• Air The Motion Picture
  

I won't be commenting on the items themselves cos a lot of them are still unopened (some were going to remain like that anyway) and I don't really feel up to it on the ones I have opened (not even on the Air movie which is exactly the same as the last one only packaged different), but I will give a word of thanks to Kapow Toys for the gratis Skids and Mudflap.

Lovely customer service and my first Masterpiece Black Convoy

In the last two days I received this lovely lot of toys.


The first shipment is from Fan2Fan, and it contained.

• Kotobukiya 1/8 Index
• Wave 1/7 Kyou Fujibayashi
• Henkei! Henkei! Gentei! Gentei! Dirge
• Henkei! Henkei! Gentei! Gentei! Thrust
• Henkei! Henkei! Gentei! Gentei! Strafe
• Alternity A-01 Convoy Vibrant Red
• Alternity A-01 Convoy Ultimate Metal Silver
• Alternity A-01 Convoy Super Black
• Kotobukiya 1/7 Rei Ayanami Gothic Lolita Blanc Ver.
• Alter 1/8 Rei Ayanami
• Busou Shinki Light Armor Valona
• Busou Shinki Light Armor Werkstra
  

The second shipment is from Kapow Toys, and it contained.

• Masterpiece MP-1B Convoy Black Ver.
• City Commander Add-On Set
• Revenge of the Fallen Recon Ironhide
  

I have to give a huge thank you to Kapow Toys for this one, as they dealt with my queries about the delay of the Add-On Set and using the £5 refund from it towards Recon Ironhide very promptly.

But the crown jewel of this haul is Masterpiece Black Convoy.

I've been wanting to see this repaint for many years now and it is finally in the hands of yours truly!

A Certain Magical Index is walking the path of Shana-tan

In the beginning there was Shana-tan, then Hecate-tan, and now Index-tan. So, how long will it be till we see Louise-tan and Taiga-tan in the '-tan' family?


These specials were funny to begin with. But when you start referencing other shows you've produced, it becomes almost too funny.


Index-tan acting like Shana-tan was classic, even before the blatant shameless plugging of a Shakugan no Shana DVD.

Oh, and the brief cameo of a certain Palmtop Tiger was highly amusing.
