Here are some pics of the items I picked up last month. I think this will be the last month that I’ll have a bunch of figures. Some of these were from AX and SDCC of course, so it has kind of skewed things a bit. I really need to trim down the number of new figures I’ve been getting, mainly due to lack of space above anything else. Some folks who buy tons and tons of figures each month and every month I have to wonder where they put them. I’ve kind of made it a policy that if I can’t display it, I can’t buy it. This was great while I was still filling out the new display cases, but now it’s getting crowded in there. As you can see, I’ve got more Ikki Tousen goodness here. Can’t have enough Mou-chan. Speaking of which, that seems to be the general theme this month when you factor in the new pillow cover (front side and back side), the IT: Shining Dragon PS2 game and the DVDs. The DVDs include IT:DD volume 2 (with the First Press poster), the Kiddy Grade ‘movie’ no. 1 with box (because I love boxes) and Claymore vol. 1 LE (because “Claymore is cool”). Also in there is Aika R-16 OVA volume 2 which I had pre-ordered before I heard that Bandai Entertainment had picked up both the old series and this new one (announced at AX). In the print world I picked up the usual Megami and Comic Gum (came with another promo DVD) along with the Megazone 23 23rd anniversary edition art book. Had to order away for this one since it never showed up at the local Kinokuniya bookstore. The Megazone 23 book is only for part 1 as they are also promoting the new PS2 game which takes an alternative spin-off story, ignoring parts 2 & 3. I could do without part 3, but it would be cool if they did an art book like this for part 2. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Enjoy!!
