Gumako Support Ver. Nendoroid No.200 & Cheerful Japan


Was going to post this a few days back but blogger was down ^^;;

In case you didn't hear,  Good Smile Company announced their 200th Nendoroid figure to be their own mascots, Gumako and Seijin.  Even more important, it's also going to be Support figure similar to Support ver. Miku. For every figure sold, 1000 yen (~$13) goes to relief efforts for the Sendai Tsunami & Earthquakes. Good Smile did so well with Support Miku.  They sold a whopping 74,394 units, that's 74,394,000 yen (~$907,500) that went to charity!



The success has brought together Good Smile Company and other figure makers to create Cheerful Japan.  Basically there will be figures that will be just like Support Miku and Support Gumako.  This is a great program and I'll be participating any way I can as a fan and store owner ^_^

For those wanting to get their hands on Gumako, she's only available right now for Japan-local customers, the rest of the world will have access to buy her on May 25th.  The nendoroid (as well as a huge Seijin plush) can be bought at Good Smile's Online site.  Don't be fooled by anime figure stores that say they can get you them, they are only available directly from GSC and any other store saying they can get them..are probably selling fakes.

Nendoroid: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Madoka Kaname



Great news ^_^  I'll definitely be stocking the Nendoroid Madoka Kaname from the insanely popular series, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.  This Nendoroid in particular has been selling out like mad in Japan.  Some of you might have heard of the run on her but I made sure from two of my suppliers that my reserves will be coming in... and there'll definitely be some for customers in the store.  Grab your reserve quick...it might not be long until even what I reserve is all sold out. For those buying from the Japan stores and live in the US...my final price probably beats them out since of course there's the high price of EMS shipping that gets added to their pricing.  They'll most likely be two separate shipments, one early batch from my supplier in japan and the second batch from AAAanime.com in late October. (yeah, us US anime stores sometimes get last licks on these -_-)

Here's her page

Email me here to reserve her if you wish to not use the cart.

...and here's some more pics of her ^^

Week in Review, Minecraft and Other Info


First off, my apologies for the delay in blog posts ^^;;  A few things can contribute to why I didn't post in over a week.  One of those reasons being that the anime store is busy again and add that with the fact I still work a 30 hour a week day job that's 35 miles from home...it becomes a real time killer -_-  Another little bit of news is that as of next month , Danielle and I will be in our own place (finally...Long Island is pointlessly expensive)...so preparations are starting for that. No change to the business address (yet) that will still be there.  Eventually I see us living in a nice big and far less expensive home in Pennsylvania since well... Long Island is really like a Louis Vuitton bag; ridiculously expensive and when you see it..you question WHY?

Speaking of time killers.....with Japan celebrating Golden Week until about today... there hasn't been too much in new anime figure news...except of course for the big announcement of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Nendoroid Madoka Kaname figure. I'd have her up at the store for you all to reserve but there's a high chance us non-japan anime retailers will get jipped out of what reserve -_- (again, mainly due to idiotic licensing practices).  You could email me though and ask to be on a waiting list...but though I ordered these by the case (12 each case),  I might suddenly be told, "oh well, you get nothing".

 (I better get my case(s) of this one -_-)

So, to kill a bit of time and to have some sort of a video game on my new Macbook...I decided to buy Minecraft.  Due be warned, that game is highly addicting.  My user name is princetrunks and currently my skin is that of Kamina from Gurren Lagann...but I'll either change it to Simon the Digger from GL or create a DBZ Trunks one (can't seem to find it :-/).  Hopefully you guys will see me hanging around some of the multiplayer servers instead of making my little fort in one player.

Also, I hesitated from posting any news since well, everyone here is busy cheering the death of Osama Bin Laden.  Being I was a senior in high school during 9/11 and I'm here in New York...the whole situation was very close to home.  I posted my whole 9/11 story here for those who wish to check it out but in short, though I didn't lose any loved ones that day...I remember walking my school hallway and seeing people drop to the floor in utter sadness since they lost their mom, dad, cousin or friend who were just at their normal day of work in the city.  In short...I'm glad that bastard is gone and I wish I can take on any one of those in Al Qaeda and break them with my own hands (and slice them with my sword).  I would be fine for the military physically and mentally...except he little thing of where I don't want anything to do with the words "yes sir" and having a "superior officer."  If my blog, store and attitude hasn't stated otherwise...I'm not too keen in having someone boss me around.

Here's some quick anime news events I failed to mention in the past week or so ^^;;
