    Since when do Rei and Asuka have tails?

    I refer you once again to my sig. (although in this case "confuses" would be more accurate)

    Yeah I just happened across 1999 tonight.

    <a href='http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/index.html' target='_blank'>1999</a>

    It's such a great model store. If I really wanted to go all out I'd love to purchase a Nadia Secret of Blue Water and a Mahoromatic Automatic Maiden resin statue.

    Nadia Nautilus Uniform (14250 Yen)
    <img src='http://www.1999hobbysearch.com/dbimages/user/hobby/itbig/10033746a.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    Mahoro San And Sport Motorbike I think that unlicensed is bad! Resin Statue (9310 Yen)

    Me and a few friends have bought from him before, so he's quite reliable.

    Seriously, take only one figurine, and that only to decorate. Looks too freaky otherwise., having different anime figurines line after line. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Which is better:

    a) Having your room full of them, or
    b) Having them all in a big pile? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh, well; hope you like them in the future too.
  • InfinitumInfinitum Anime Encyclopedia Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1111Members, Constellation
    A room full... cause that way you can appreciate each individual piece easier.

    I swear when I eventually get my own place, I'm gonna have recesses all over the walls so I can put models in them and make it look sleeeeeek.

    o.o Why are those little models so desirable? Also, unless you have a clinical problem or whatnot, nothing to do to help you other than say exercise some self control and don't spend so much on little trinkets.

    EDIT: Then you'll have more cash for actual anime, to watch and enjoy, instead of the second-thought "Cash in on a popular series" stuff.

    That's been in my sig forever and only now it gets truly "appreiciated", although I have had 2 PMs about it one of which said, and I quote; <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->um, i clicked that japan link in your sig, um, do you have a fork so i can gouge my eyes out?? omg, the pain inside my head is enourmous..... <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    and I couldn't agree more.

    Granted this wasn't actually made by a Japanese person to the best of my knowledge, yet it is still a perfect example of why I think Japan is just plain f-ing SCARY.

    The whole adding tails and ears to female characters isn't scary so much as mildy disturbing... muh....

    and then there's the whole tentacle thing....

    I'm not going to suggest you see a psychiatrist as many have done since I know all too well how addictive collecting stuff can get... always wanting more... MORE!

    If you enjoy collecting these things, good luck to you. At least you've got something constructive to do with your time.

    Has there been an actual anime museum constructed yet? If not, I sense a potential high profit tourist attraction that Infinitium may easily exploit...
