Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Yukata Ver. Natsutsubaki

Hello!

Today I'm going to talk about my newest nendoroid, the Hatsune Miku Yukata Ver.! This nendoroid features Miku in a very cute red yukata with her signature pigtails (or would you call them ponytails since they're long?). I got her for $40 on Mandarake, which is a good price for something that was an event exclusive.

I was so excited that it arrived today that I took it out of the box before taking pictures (つд｀)

Anyways, here's the box she came in!

It's just a simple box, really. That's why I didn't take many pictures of it haha.

Let's take a look at Miku herself!

So adorable (~￣▽￣)~ You can now see her red yukata more closely, and in her hair is a little white flower. Unlike the other Miku yukata ver., this one keeps her hair in the default hairstyle.

These are all the accessories she came with. It's not a lot, and it doesn't help that I accidentally broke the water balloon that was attached to her extra hand... As long as I can glue it back together then it's fine.

Items show are: two extra faces, two extra arms, one extra neck, and a small candy apple.

                               

Now let's look at the results from a mini photoshoot!

Maybe if I wasn't too lazy to take out some of my other nendoroid accessories then these photos wouldn't be so dull ;__;

 Overall, this nendoroid is nice but I wouldn't really get it for its pizazz or anything like that. But if you're a diehard Miku fan (or just like simple nendoroids) then this one is a great addition to your collection!

That's it for this post, thanks for reading and have a great day（ ´∀｀）☆

Mandarake Haul

Hello! This will be my first blog post!! (・∀・ )
I decided to do something simple and write about this month's purchases from Mandarake. If you haven't heard of Mandarake, it's basically a secondhand shop for anime goods. The prices are low and the service is great! Mandarake is great when it comes to buying doujinshis and rare anime figures. So let's get on with what I bought!

Sadly I only bought these a couple days ago so they're not yet here to take pictures of. ;__;
I'll just put the stock pictures so you can get an idea! Then when my package arrives I'll make another post.

First up, let's start with the doujinshis because I didn't order a lot of them this time.

えれんとへいちょの温泉旅行! 700 yen

にゃんこ兵長！in winter 597 yen

These doujinshis look so cute! I'm really excited about the second one because you just know that any doujinshi with ereri as cats is going to be good.

Now onto the better part! I ordered a heck ton of anime figures and I'm so in love with all of them. These ones I'm more excited about!

Snow Miku 2013 Nendoroid 5,000 yen

I know, 5,000 yen is way cheap for this rare nendoroid. So what gives? Well, I'm so desperate for this figure that I bought the one that has some damage to it. All is well though, as long as it's authentic and the scratches are out of sight then I'm fine. It's better than a bootleg for sure. (btw I linked you guys to another listing they had that isn't damaged)

Miku Hatsune Familymart Ver. Nendoroid 4,000 yen

This is one of the figures I'm not so sure about but bought anyways. Miku is very cute, but I wonder if the outfit was a good enough reason to buy it? Ah oh well. I bought it and will love it as much as my other nendoroids! I don't know if Mandarake has anymore of this nendoroid, so if you want it then I think you'll have to look somewhere else or search through all the Miku nendoroids.

Miku Hatsune Spring Ver. Special Color 8,000 yen

THIS is the one that I'm so in love with. It was originally supposed to be received through a lottery drawing. This one, in my opinion, is much cuter than the normal version. I'm in love with the cute print on her uniform and I know I said this about all the other nendoroids but I really just cannot wait until this one arrives. (link is to an ebay listing in case you would want to purchase it yourself!)

Sakura Miku Nendoroid 5,000 yen

Have you guys noticed that all the figures I bought so far are nendoroids AND Miku? Haha, anyways this one is a pink Miku (hence the name Sakura Miku) and it's so adorable! (link is to a sold out listing since I couldn't find another one)

Miku Hatsune Spring Ver. Figma 6,000 yen

I am obsessed with Miku okay. I had to buy this one too! Here is the limited figma that I think is also only won through a lottery drawing. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been stalking the Mandarake website in hopes of finding this figma for cheap haha.

Snow Miku 2014 11,000 yen

Wow, this one has got to be my favorite nendoroid that I ordered! All hail Snow Miku 2k14. Okay back to the point, this nendoroid is also another limited one. That's why it's so expensive! It's sooo worth it though because I'm pretty sure its cuteness makes up for the heavy price tag.

That's all! How many times did I say cute in total? A lot I'm guessing. I promise I'll make another post when everything arrives so you can see how everything really looks. But for now, goodbye and have a great day! (´ω｀)
