91.8 The Fan has been updated with a new article.

I had the honor of interviewing Yaya Han personally. She is very much a sweetheart, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Make sure to click below to see the actual interview as she had some interesting things to say about cosplay as well as a good amount of advice.

I pretty much got bored today, and thus broke out my camera (the same one we use for all of the cosplay pictures taken on 91.8 The Fan). I needed to get better at holding the camera steady as is, and initially thought I would do a figure review of sorts since I have so darn many. Though the two I took pictures of I had gotten just recently, and noticed they were both convention swag. I do believe a convention swag post with pictures is far better!

I didn’t buy a whole lot at AnimeExpo since they jack up the prices way too much for any sane person. My only resolve was if I spotted either a Gothic Lolita Mikuru or a Rock Star one it would be mine. All through the week all I could ever find was Yuki or Haruhi. It was insanely annoying, most vendors didn’t bring Mikuru with them. Though the last day, Kibs and I spotted it. The deal was done, and now it sits happily right next to my computer.

I like this one due to the fact that despite standing on one leg, they really made an effort so she doesn’t lean. It’s quite beautiful, detailed, and well made. I can even see the star-shaped mole on her chest. Mikuru is so absolutely adorable.

During AnimeVegas I wasn’t really planning on buying anything, but once again I caved. I discovered another Mikuru that had been on my want list for quite awhile, but I had never gotten the funds together to buy it.

Kibs also bought me the original Star Ocean: The Second Story soundtrack. SCORE! That’s actually incredibly rare considering the date of when the original game came out. I have yet to open it and ruin it, but I will eventually and soak up the moment.

For those wondering, I do collect other figures besides Mikuru, I just happen to have an abundance of her. I have roughly sixty at this point with my only multiples being Mikuru Asahina and KOS-MOS.

Tiki’s SpellBook has been updated with a new article.

“… I remember two Tomy attendants sitting there, overseeing everything at their booth, and one of them spotted me, “My, you look familiar…” He got his friend’s attention, and he pointed and shouted Arin at the top of his lungs. I could only laugh as it felt like a compliment…”
