May Hauls: The Impulse Bunch
All of these... weren't really on my pre-orders
A bunch of impulse buys I guess and 2 gifts! =))
Well, to start off, first among these hauls would be the TF Prime RID ones, I don't really dig the Arms Micron line because of the stickers and that's what made me get the Hasbro releases since if you had noticed I would usually prefer getting the Takara releases except when Hasbro proves to the be the better one for my preference or when there's a slight or no difference at all like the Movie lines and lastly, when only Hasbro has it like PCC (but United line will be releasing 4 PCCs soon) But anyway, we only have wave1-3 here (I think) and aside from Soundwave and Wheeljack, Vehicon is amongst the top list of hard to find since people usually hoard them (I understand the army builders but scalpers... well... screw it :p) And I happen to come across 1 and instantly got it with Ratchet being tagged along the purchase since I really love Prime's Ratchet and for once on my time for the TF collection, Hasbro has done a very clean white on Ratchet making the Takara an instant pass for me. XD
Next up would be some nendo petits from Madoka, I didn't really intend on buying them but when a friend of mine opened a group buy I just had to get the Blue Justice Girl lol, Sayaka of course, so, I instantly reserved the two and got them during Team Onii-chan's last display which was at Vocafusion.
And last but not least, a friend of mine went to Japan so I asked him to get me a G2 Gamera for a nifty price (cheap blogger is cheap lol!) and he got me one for 2.6k yen, a fair enough price I guess; after I got him, another friend of mine reminded me of an available UN WfC Prime around, so, when we checked, he was still there, and I bought it at a steal price since he IS quite rare already these days and thus also completes my WfC Rival pair. The Charlotte strap and the other one beside her, a *you know* doujin of Cure Peace are souvenirs from Japan that my friend gave me. I wasn't expecting a doujin and Cure Peace to boot @.@ oh well, hahahaha. But anyway, that's it for my final hauls this month.

Review: [Taito] Bakemonogatari Nendoroid Petit Prize Sengoku Nadeko
| Figure Information | |
| Manufacturer: | Taito |
| Origin Series: | Bakemonogatari |
| Scale: | Non-scale |
| Height: | Approximately 6.5cm tall |
| Original Price: | 750 Yen |
| Figure Box: |
Boxed isn't very well designed, it's basically same as most prize figure boxes only scaled down to fit a nendoroid petit such as Nadeko-chan here. It's barely design and really, it's probably the figure alone you'll be wanting to inspect upon seeing it first hand.
| Figure Details: |
Being a prized figure that she is, we get just enough, the colors doesn't stand out too well, they look dull actually, and there's little to none detail on her outfit as opposed to how regular petits would be a little more detailed than this. But still for a prize figure, it's fair enough I guess given her price point. And what I really liked here is that she has her hair dyed green as the one we saw in the Renai Circulation OP of the series, it's pretty cute I think and she's even holding the charm that Araragi gave her I think XD One thing I'd like to note as the ultimate flaw though is that the ball that pegs on her back gets loose quite easily so it's a little annoying sometimes; also at some point, you also get to feel that they used cheaper shiny plastic on her though it doesn't appear obvious most of the time.
Of course, she does come with her cap, which you can opt to place on her head but is it just me or her cap here looks ridiculously large? D: And lastly, you cannot remove her jacket...
| Appeal: |
While a prize, this prize petit certainly does well on being at par (at least for me) with the standard petits in terms of charm and all. But one thing that really differentiates Nadeko from others is that, she doesn't have any points of articulation except her neck unlike standard releases (the Hitagi in the same line had more) So this pretty much makes her more of a static figure which is why the appeal section is here.
Basically, thanks to ball jointed necks, Nadeko does good in the appeal area since she can follow your angle (like wave's neck articulated figures).

While the cap does help give an entirely different feel, I really prefer Nadeko without a cap, as it's more cute in many ways and the cap really makes it a hard catch to shoot her face without messing around with the light's positions. Still, the options are your call. XD Really too bad we can't remove the jacket though.
| Final Thoughts: |
Depending on your prefences, if you don't like prize figures in general, then simply don't even think about it, but if you are fine with them then, by all means, this Nadeko's pretty cute IMO and given her price point, you can just think of her as a really cute trading figure though you might have a hard time finding her on solo since she's usually bundle with 1 to 3 more from the set when seen on sale. As for me, I really just got her because she's Nadeko :3

February Hauls: Chibified Ones
Final hauls for the month :p
So yeah, title says it all...
Last week, I was on a pinch deciding whether I get Philip or HMO Miku but luckily, this was all solved when I found out HMO Miku would arrive next week. So, finally after more than 2 months of hold, I finally took Philip home and yay, Shotaro now has a partner! Hahaha!
Anyway, the next two are pretty much impulses, the pullback steamroller with Rin and Taito's Nendoroid Petite Prize Nadeko; thus, making it Rin #3 and Nadeko #2 XD But yeah, they're the last for the month. :D
