Noumi Kudryavka Halloween Figure

Even though I haven't purchased any anime merchandise in almost a year, I still check on Toyslogic every now and then for nice figures. Not too long ago I discovered one that, to me, is the nicest looking PVC figure I've seen to date.


I've always found Noumi Kudryavka to be cute, and bought a Kotobukiya version of her last summer. She looks adorable dressed for Halloween, and the base she stands on looks nicely decorated. I'd love to own this figure but Toyslogic has her on pre-order for $150 USD! The most I've spent on a figure to date is $75 for Misuzu Kamio. Too bad this 18cm Noumi figure has to be "limited," otherwise she'd be a lot cheaper.

She'll be available 10/31/2009 if anyone feels like buying me one! :D

Playstation 2

I bought 42 Playstation 2 games over the past few months, mostly RPGs. I check up on my blog every so often but haven't decided on what to blog about. I don't think there's a point in blogging about old video games in much detail, even though I'm enjoying them, haha.

Phantasy Star Universe is one game I really wish I had played online when it first came out. I still had a great time solo playing it though offline.

I'm glad I bought all these games and for so cheap because there are so many old games worth playing that I never used to know existed.

Bootleg Laser Stickers?

While checking Ebay for good deals on authentic nendoroids, I came across this auction posted by a Hong Kong seller: Ebay

Seller claims that because the figure boxes have a laser sticker they are authentic. I only own two nendoroids at the moment, and I feel like discussing Good Smiles Companies stickers so that I can be familiar with each one they use.

Here is a close up on the sticker that is on those two boxes above.



The seller claimed that the figures where authentic in his auction, though personally, I have never seen that sticker before. Could anyone reading this please provide me with some information on that?

Two different stickers I see Good Smile Company use are the following:

Notice that the sticker on Lights box above (image taken from HobbySearch) is different from the one on the box the ebay seller has. So far there are only two legitimate stickers I know of that GSC use on their boxes, and one in question. What is the reason for GSC using more than one? None of their figure boxes distributed to the United States by AAA Anime have either of these stickers correct?
