Smooth and Flat

Yes.

So my Toradora Portable! Choudoukyuu Premium Box finally arrived. Aside from the UMD with the game and the little booklet which describes how to play, there were some goods inside (well it’s a Premium box so why not). Alas, I can’t yet play the game because it needs a console with the firmware version of 5.05 and my PSP is running 5.00 at the moment.

The goods include:

• PSP bag, tiger shaped;
• strap;
• Special DVD;
• Fun Book;
• PSP Stand;
• Taiga nendoroid, swimsuit version.

The bag is totally awesome and cute and I don’t know how to express it.

Well, I’ll let it speak for itself.

Today I went to the post office to get the package they received for me (yes, in Soviet Russia you deliver your packages home instead of letting the post office do it).

The first one was already mentioned here. The other one is a Gekisou version of you-know-her. Enough with the words, let the figures speak for themselves.

What the hell, Subaru? Stop stealing screen time from Nanoha, Fate and Hayate. That also goes for Teana! I don’t care how cool you are because despite all that cool roller-and-whatever-this-revolver-thing-is-actually-called fighting you’re still an annoying emo tomboy.

Also, got the Huge Box. I mean the Huge Box. Yagami Hayate – Meister des Nachthimmels by ALTER. This figure is awesome and also it kicks ass. Tiny Reinforce Zwei that comes along is cute, too.

We all probably know Good Smile Company – one of the two best figure makers. The second one (in alphabetical order of course, not because one of them is better – they’re equal) is Max Factory – and we’ve seen their power combined in the Figma action figure series.

Here’s a truly “DO WANT”-class figure, Golden Darkness (1/8 scale), to be released by the aforementioned GSC in March 2009.

Golden Darkness

As I mentioned already, Golden Darkness, for me, is the sole reason to watch To Love-Ru.

Nendoroids, clayroids and whateveroids for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu series are widely available. It’s not like there’s not enough of them – yet Sega releases a new series of “super deformed” figures, called Vignetteum Cute. The first release is discontinued at the moment (and to be honest, I’m not all that upset about it as I don’t like the designs somehow), and the second wave is coming.

Behold:
