First Konapun Grail Acquired!!

This was an older post I had written over a year ago, but forgot to publish! It's not fully done, but I figure I will be moving everything to my website soon, so I will probably not be adding more to it on here.

So here it is~! ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So yup, my Konapun came in... got my first grail item, the Burger Kitchen!! TA-DA!! I sort of can't believe I was able to get more Konapun... it was very expensive, but now I can stop drooling over pics of them! ^^; I was surprised at the number of food powder packets included with this set. The Burger Kitchen set is generally more expensive than the Cooking Studio Kitchen set, is physically bigger (wider), and has more food powders although they make similar items: 5 burgers, 5 hot-dogs, and 2 fries (...I think) while the Cooking Studio makes more varied types of foods, but only one of each dish.

I opened everything up and here is a pic of the contents!



I didn't have time to make anything with it yet, but I couldn't wait to post a pic up after I got it! ^^;; I couldn't even wait to get my boyfriend out of view before taking the pic (haha I'm kidding, he was watching something on his comp and I didn't wanna ask him to move xD)

I really like the fryer with it's basket and strainer/shelf thingy is really cool, and I like the baking unit... it's like a fast food diner's "industry" sized oven. xD The only thing I was a little confused about was the potato mould... it's shaped with handles on the sides like how all the moulds that require "baking" are shaped, but it's too wide/long and tall to fit anywhere for baking! I guess it's just supposed to sit outside on the counter? o_O;

Overall I'm quite happy with the set, hopefully I will update this post soon with pics of burgers and fries! xD

Oshare Majo Love and Berry Cards for sale! xD

Whoa it's been a long time since I posted. Eventually I'll be moving everything to my personal website, once I get everything figured out and up and running! =)

But I decided to make a quicky to help promote the sale of my Love and Berry cards. lol xD

If you don't know Love and Berry, it was an arcade game in Japan where you play a rhythm game and try to beat your opponent. BUT the kincher is that you can swipe cards to dress up your character "appropriately" in order to get the crowd moving and achieve a better score. Each card has either a hair/makeup style on it, a dress or outfit, or shoes - totalling hundreds of cards altogether so you can mix and match. Oh, did I mention that you get a card EVERY time you played the game?? (Mind blowing, I know... Dx)

Every card is shimmery and has varying degrees of shiny-ness, depending on the rarity. And who doesn't love shiny cards... even boys do! xD

Then they came out with a Nintendo DS game that comes with a card swiping peripheral (GBA slot ftw) plus 10 cards, so you can swipe those awesome item cards in your DS game! So of course being mind-blown as I was, I went and collected a crap load of cards after Hien bought me the DS game...... and now I have tons of duplicates. =___=;;

So... TA-DA! I am selling my duplicate Love and Berry cards on eBay. lol

Please search for "Love and Berry" on eBay to find my cards! And please read the auction carefully for the condition of the cards and which ones I have! xD

Thanks for looking! x3

So much stuff coming out, so little time (and money)! Dx

March Release 2012 - Pullip Regeneration Series O_O

As many people have probably already heard, Groove is re-releasing old Pullips!! They are part of the Regeneration Series or aka Fukkoku Edition!!

First phase is out for pre-order now and they are Fanatica and Fantastic Alice!! xDD Second phase will be Moon and Anne! xD Each doll is limited to 500 pieces worldwide! @___@



Fanatica is one of my grails so I've already pre-ordered her! <33 Supposedly there are slight changes to the regeneration girls than the originals. They will have type 4 bodies, but I am not sure how much the moulds and face-up will change (these I am hoping will be similar enough to the originals though... I adore Fanatica's eyes and face and it's why she's my grail! Dx). I've read others who have said that they may also be changing the plastic, so shiny-faced original girls will end up having matt faces in the regeneration series. Though everything I know is from other people's blogs and posts, so I don't know anything for sure... (drats!)

Many people are also upset about the re-releases... probably because they had to save up a long time and bite the bullet at $300-$450 for these dolls. But since there will be differences between the original dolls and these re-releases, I think they can rest assured that their dolls will always be the 'original' and will still hold their value. Some have raised the issue that it will be harder to tell the difference between the originals and the re-releases when looking to buy the original - causing a lot more scamming - which I agree will probably be an issue. But if they are buying a MIB original, they will be able to tell the differences on the packaging - loose dolls will probably be harder to tell unless you get close ups of the body and face.

I for one am glad for the re-releases (can you tell? lol) and do not mind if there are differences. Although I've been a long time collector, I couldn't bring myself to pay that much money for a single pullip doll (maybe if I won the lottery?). So I think these re-releases will be a nice alternative for me and many new and old collectors who can't afford the originals.

Alright, enough talk... picture spamming time!!










I've also tried looking at pictures of the original Fanatica and compared it to the re-released pics and they seem similar enough... so can't do anything except wait till I get mine and see!! x3
