NKDS

Pros:

- Exquisite details.

- Nice accessories. All Raising Heart funnels are included.

- Overall high quality, definitely lots of bang for your buck.

Suffice to say this is the best Nanoha figure to date.

Few costumes can elicit thoughts as dangerous as those floating in my mind right now. This one, however, is an excellent example of a costume that managed such a feat. 

Introducing the Fate Testarossa Barrier Jacket (loli ver.) now available from Cospatio/Cospa, yours for only 60,900 yen inclusive of tax. Link here.

 Seven flavours of schoolgirl Nana to choose from. 

The webpage for the Live Academy concert goods is up here. Me? I’m only getting the school calendar, seen in the above picture. There is enough fantasy material in the calendar for the most exacting Nana fan out there.

A 17 year old girl should act her age by cosplaying in various school uniforms. Nana-chan gets my intense approval for this series of pictures.

The list of items available to lighten your wallet has been released at the official Nanoha website. Just click on the link and click on “Goods”, and plan your budget from there.

I really want to just go for the whole set and be done with it, but nah, resources are tight this month. Since that’s the case, I will likely go for the Fate Testarossa T-shirt or mug. And at the same time I will pretend I never read the weird engrish sentences on both the Nanoha and Fate T-shirts.

 Love at first sight.

I prayed, I went down on my knees to beg Fate, to give us a plushie of herself, something that we can hug and cuddle when we go to sleep. Finally, my prayers have been answered!  

See? Faith can move mountains, but apparently a hardcore fanaticism for Fate-chan can do more than that. So all of us should love Fate and Nanoha more, by buying more of their merchandise! Then there will be more supply of Fate and Nanoha items and we can all be happy! Ah, the beauty of capitalism…

Here are more details from AmiAmi. The plushie will be arriving on this April, and will retail for 3150 yen. Time to save up!

And yes, I should be getting two of this. One to put on my bed along with Yui and Mugi, and one more for the collection.

 When it rains, it pours… I did not intend to write another post for the next few days, but as a loyal Nana fan, I HAVE to do this. 

This clip is a digest of Nana’s Live Diamond concert that was held at the Dome. The digest includes clips from songs such as Eternal Blaze, DISCOTHEQUE, MARIA&JOKER and Gimmick Game.

I just gotta say that I looped the clip from MARIA&JOKER for an indecent number of times. You will know what I mean when you see it for yourself, at around 2:05 to 2:07. And the legs that Nana showed in Gimmick Game… wow. Just wow.

So, go order the Live Diamond x Fever BD or DVD if you are a Nana fan. Seriously, just go and do it. You will not regret it.

This month’s issue of Comptiq comes with a very nice translucent pencil board, which I have scanned for this post. This month’s issue seems to concentrate on Circus. So if you like Da Capo or if you happen to think Nemu is your wife, you should get it.

Here’s what the magazine and freebies look like:

The Animate omake, picture taken from Animate website. I am aiming for this.

Well, this is assuming Midori Ya is an e-commerce website instead of a cake shop…

You might have heard of Nana-chan’s latest single, Mugen. I’m ordering my copy through this website, its called Midori Ya Online Trading and Services.

Now, why would I order from Midori Ya? Primarily because I get to choose the omake I want, out from the whole list ranging from Gamers and Animate to Tower Records. In my opinion that is much better than ordering from Amazon and getting no omake.  Here’s their webpage that links to every omake available for choosing.

Of course, buying from Midori Ya also gives that warm fuzzy feeling that I might get from buying at that cake shop that Nanoha’s family owns.  I realize that is a purely personal affection, but I am a sucker for all things related to the Nanoha series, so yeah.

Feel free to drop by and try out their services if you are interested. The instructions for ordering from them are all clearly stated on the website, so there should be minimal confusion.

Bandai has this incredible toy that makes small can badges out of some random can badge parts and an appropriately sized piece of paper. So when this toy arrived, the first thing that Dodgethis and me did were to make these:

Homemade Nana-chan can badges for the win!

This can badge maker has the same concept as Bandai’s sushi maker, the one that was demonstrated in AFA09’s press conference. I seriously hope Bandai can bring in more of these for sale in Singapore. Anyone with one of these mean machines can turn into a one-man can badge factory, literally overnight.

You have probably bought her photobook. You might have bought her trading cards too. So why not complete the collection with her 2010 calendar? Tanaka Rie 2010 calendar, coming to a store near you! It even comes with a free one-year warranty!

Man, that sounded like a cheap advertisement. Anyways, I should be getting this calendar too. I have already fallen into the RieRie fandom by getting the photobook and just about any seiyuu megazine that has RieRie’s posters, so I might as well go all the way instead of doing a half-assed job.
