Nagisa Momoe fun!


I finally got my Nagisa Momoe nendoroid a couple of weeks back, she is adorable as expected! >w<
My favourite features are her megaphone (??) and the Bebe face! So creepy but bright and fun to play with when I was taking photos. Here's a selection I've taken so far! I have much more planned with her and the other girls. Especially as my winter WonFes2014 Mami Tomoe nendoroid is arriving this week! Lot's of scenes from the Rebellion movie to be recreated at the very least. 
Enjoy ~ x ~

New Figure: Madoka Kaname The Beginning 1/8 Scale

I think I'm starting to re-discover my love for scaled figures! This figure is -amazing-. I snagged her on the pre orders for the re-run. I'm so glad I managed to get her because for a huge PMMM fan like myself, I think this a core piece any big PMMM fan should own. It's truly a work of art and I simply cannot get over how stunning she is. The sculpt is total perfection and based on the illustration by Ume Aoki and sculpted by Sakurazensen. If you'd like to just skip my fangirl ramblings about the figure you can see an overview and a video here!

I have to warn you this post is very image heavy, there are just so many perfect little details. It took me forever to attempt to capture them all.




The shading is so intricate on the dress and adds so much dimension to her pose. Plus I adore the delicate blush on her face, it's not too strong but still lights her face up.



I find the arch of her back fascinating, it can't be that comfortable in real life but then again, when was any pose related to SHAFT?

It was hard to capture for me but around the frill there is a soft pinky hue which gives more life and movement to her already fluid pose.

All those frills *___* it reminds me of a delicious cake hu hu... Anyway, the backs of her legs are so smooth, no lines or marks! You can also see the little detail on the end of the bow!

Bows!! Plus the realistic looking puff of her skirt.

That back arch >__< So elegant!

Perfectly puffy sleeves



You can see the bow doesn't quite rest in between her finger and thumb like you'd expect. I think is because she summons them anyway out of air so she doesn't really touch them...

The rose on the top end of her bow.

Her soul gem does gleam in the light, it wasn't sunny when I was taking pics though u_u



Flying on smoke!

This was my greatest mystery when ordering this figure. How will she stand up in that pose?! Well there is a metal pin that slots into Madoka's foot and she stands very firmly and well balanced! I think it's ideal to keep her somewhere where she's unlikely to get knocked though...Just in case... (note how the smoke has a lovely lilac hue to it!)

Recent Merchandise Purchases



Here's another quick round up post of various merch and figures I have bought over the past couple of months! I have recently ordered a few more things and next weekend is MCM comic con so there will certainly be another one very soon!! :D I must warn you, this post is very image heavy!



First to show here is this beautiful Fennekin (from Pokemon XY) plush! It stands at around 41cm tall so it's pretty much life size! Naturally it's made by TOMY and the quality is honestly flawless. The material is soft and snuggly but doesn't bobble. The details are all accurate and I am really enjoying the squishy tail in particular! I believe it cost around £15 which is an absolute steal. They usually RRP around £30 something I think.



Next up is the wonderful but very evil Monokuma plush! I bought this from Mandarake for around £12 supposedly second hand but he is like new! Again, super soft good quality fabric and neat detailed stitching. 



Now here's another pokemon plush: Sylveon! Ahh she's so pretty! This one I don't believe is official but still a lovely plush (though the 'ribbons' are a little messed up!) She was £15.



 I'm starting to think I may have an addiction to plushes... My boyfriend is concerned about my growing obsession and so are a few of my friends. There's still room in my bed for me right now so that's okay right?? :P

This final plush purchase I got a few days ago: Fluttershy from the Build a Bear Workshop!!
I felt she was a good price at £19. I like the use of fibres for the hair but they're naturally a little cheap so they tangle easily which means cuddling her = tangles >__< Otherwise she's a flawless plush and in store they had the option to add a voice box with six Fluttershy phrases in it too. I opted out of that because I think I'd get tired of it heh.







Moving on from plushes, I pre-ordered this from Good Smile Company in March. It's the Nendoroid More Dress Up: Pyjamas! These are really sweet and considering I currently own around 26 nendos there's plenty of opportunities to play with these! Expect some shoots soon ^^/



Here are the full set of Madoka Magica: Rebellion movie mugs I got from AmiAmi recently! I really liked their simple but pretty design so felt they would be a lovely addition to my collection of PMMM items. On each one is a different pair of character silhouettes and matching colour scheme; Mami and Nagisa in yellow and a soft pink, Madoka and Homura in pink and purple and Sayaka and Kyouko in red and blue.






Final two purchases are these gorgeous Mami Tomoe and Madoka Kaname figures I found on Mandarake back in March. I paid around £30 for both of them
