I should probably apologize for a few things first before anything else. Sorry DiGiKerot but it ain’t a Mikan box; I’ll try harder to get one next time! Also I’m sorry about my appearance as I usually look like that after work; I mean I normally look like arse in general but look 10x more arse-ish on the weekdays due to the grind of the IT field (as weird as that may sound to some).
With the apologies out of the way, today I received a nice sizeable package containing something(s) that figure collectors have been raving about recently. If you don’t like surprises, photos after the jump but for those willing to wait, any guesses? Maybe a Hatsune Miku or two? A Kotona Elegance as well? Or did I finally get back to building some gunpla like HG Gundam Throne Zwei? Heck maybe my Saber (or general TYPE-MOON) fetish got the better me?
… or did I just order everything under the sun again? 
For those waited and guess, you’re all probably wrong! I, like a few others, finally got the humongous Exelica PVC from Alter that was delayed for months. Honestly I haven’t even opened the box yet but just looking at the figure and accessories as is I can say it was definitely worth the wait!
… although it costing me $200USD will have me thinking otherwise when the bills come in ;_;
Yes, this is one FREAKING HUGE BOX!
HA, TAKE THAT Loli Fate Testarossa! You’ve been replaced as #1 for the biggest box for a PVC figure!
No clue when or if I’ll ever do a review of Exelica given my schedule and general laziness but who knows. I’ll leave off by showing my recent Minorin purchases I mentioned on bj0rn’s a few weeks ago. Sorry bj0rn but I can’t afford to buy stuff for other folks yet! It’s hard enough supporting myself in this money pit of a hobby!
hooo, big box, the shipping cost is 6k yen right?
That box definitely bitch slaps the Fate box. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. But, the delay raised the whole deal from ~$165 to $200.
Nice, that Exelica figure is pretty bad-ass.
Yikes, big package!!
But seems to be a nice haul though. Even that you´ll cry manly tears when the bill comes in.
And if you ask me, you look way better after having worked than I would ever do. There doesn´t seem to be anything wrong at all.
I cried some tears as well when my SQL database got fucked up and made everything look horrible. My solution? Starting over.
With the happenings in the back of my head and my love for Persona 3 I just had to make a name change: So from now on Otoboku.se is called “The Fool” which fits really well at the moment.
WOW WOW WOW! I applaud you for being crazy and awesome enough to order the Exelica figure XD
Do I see a Taiga (Toradora!) figure there? The one with her posing with that cute tiger on the palm of her hand?
I hate you for getting Exelica early. Mine’s still coming in either mid-April, late-April, or early May. Of course, the later the better, considering I haven’t gathered enough funds for her.
the figure looks awesome. give the skygirls a run for their money. ^^;
Love the first shot. As if you’re daring us to even guess at the majesty that’s inside.
But $200. Wow. o_o
I’m not much for figurines, but yeah, a figure from Triggerheart Exelica would sure get me excited.
Can’t do much about it, though – money’s already going into the SGI Octane which is coming in Saturday
I should mention that I love girls with futuristic spiky things sticking out of them like a high tech angel.
Nice Box. It’s a box which I would not throw~
Nice figure. Being an IT pro myself I can sympathize on the feeling like sh!t during the week bit
looking forward to see where you’re gonna display that
Wow, thats such an impressive figurine you got. :O So huge and looks nice and its not even out of the box yet! :O
I too ordered this waaay back in november/december from hobbysearch and it finally arrived yesterday, it took a while to figure out where things go but the finished product looks great

ron, yep about 6000yen ;_;
super rats, very true. Sadly I can’t open her until I find more space. *This* time I’m really out of room for any more figures. And yea I cry over the increase of cost the more I think about it.
DiGiKerot, yea. I know you’re more of a gamer and R2 collector, but did you take the dive and order her? (LOL I hope for your wallet you didn’t)
manga, pretty much the biggest package I’ve ever gotten to date in terms of anime stuff. On my looks, trust me I look like arse normally but apparently the job makes me look helleva worse as one of my coworkers (and friend) reminds me daily about. Ah… SQL is always fun… as long as you have PLENTY of backups!
Chichiwomoge, *bows* thank you thank you LOL
meganeshounen, yes you are correct sir. Good eyes.
Zeroblade, I would laugh like a maniac and gloat but just too tired to bother. And look at this way, at least seeing how lovely she is, it’ll make the wait and eventual GET all the better right?
gordon, yea both in sculpt quality and cost ^^;;
TheBigN, LOL something I thought of last minute to make the usual “look what I spent” post a little different.
ritchan, as I’m sure it does other folks. Now only if it wasn’t so expensive!
kyouray, definitely keeping the box (not the HLJ one, I mean the actual figure package box). Don’t want to lose anything by accident anyways.
kiryuu, a brother in arms ;_;
R8, same here. I have no frickin’ clue!
Flame_Haze, you were crazy enough to order one as well right? hehe
Kai, ah cool thanks for the photo. Nice to see what she looks like once assembled.
Wow. Cool. That figure its a verry nice. Whas is that Blu Ray movie?
T-T Ages since I visited since I’m slogging at work.
Seriously good purchases. I wanted the Exelica too but it’s too expensive for me now and on top of that, I’m lacking the space in my room. And I managed to get a free melty tale storage from a friend. For a moment, I thought I had a poster of a topless Minorin. LOL!
Uzumaki174, Utawarerumono and To Heart 2 live radio event. Pretty funny stuff if you listen to their stuff or enjoy the seiyuus involved.
bj0rn, yep know the feeling -_-;; And props for getting Minorin’s melty tale storage single! You ordering her Live Tour ‘08 DVD?
DEFINATELY!
