12 Days of Christmas - Tohoku Earthquake

Of course you all remember the Great Tohoku Earthquake and the tsunami that followed and spread over all Asia back in March 11th.
And, as much as I'd like to personnally offer my sympathy to people who lost a loved one I can't, and saying it here won't achieve anything, so, what I wanted to focus on and express my admiration for what the community did to help.

HERE is a book put together by mostly French artists and sold for charity. The LJ fandom community put together auctions. Good Smile released a special Nendoroid.

[Figure review]HMO Miku

I wish I knew how to write a figure review, unfortunately I don't and probably won't buy many figures in the next months to make up for my lack of knowledge and train, so bear with me?

All of my figures so far are Nendoroids or just chibi versions, that should tell enough about my motives to buy figures, sure there's the fact I (often) love the character but I like pretty things so when I went out of my last exam and saw that pretty HMO Miku (when I don't even care that much for Vocaloids) I couldn't resist.

Could anyone say no to this smile?
On top of that, since she's a Nendoroid, she's really well made, even the lower parts of her hairs move. (Don't  laugh at me but really I'm amazed by that fact and it amuses me greatly to move them whenever I have her in my hands). You can even remove her ahoge.
She comes with a lot, a whole lot of different parts and accesories too. 3 faces, 2 pairs of headphones, 4 hands and 4 sleeves, 2 negi (if anyone know how you say that in English I'd be thankful forever), a flute, 2 pianos and a complete drum set.

I have however two (very little) problems with mine.
First, one of her tail falls whenever I move her a bit too violently and second the base. Oh goddamnit the base, there's no way I'll ever manage to connect this thing to her back. No way.
But I have had this problem with all Nendoroids I own, especially the Puchi, I needed to get my brother's help to make them stand and BRS is forever sitting for this reason.
Well I don't mind as long as they stand.

As usual, I'm in love. I become weaker and weaker everytime I buy one -___-

Hatsune Miku Figure

Sometimes I happen to come accross interesting things, like figures prototypes for example, even if I buy only a very few.
I also happen to fall madly in love with one of those figures, even if I don't really care about the serie, it happened again today.

The culprit is a wonderful, gorgeous, pretty figure of the famous virtual idol Hatsune Miku.
It comes from the PV of Koi wa Sensou or Love is War
Whatever, if you want to see click over there

And since I'm in a good mood, here is said PV, or no not totally, it's not the original version but it covers the same theme (and the artist of that one is Dogs' mangaka Miwa Shirow and I love him, whateveeer)
