Overseas Otaku Buying Tips |
Making
online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop
CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been
the best option for me (and many otakus who do
not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list,
preorders and purchases from these reputable online
companies. Your purchase via these links supports
this site :)
• YesAsia
(Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
• J-list
(many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
• HobbySearch
(Comprehensive inventory
but no free shipping
and no shipping cost
provided upon placing
an order )
• HLJ
(very good alternative to HobbySearch)
• E2046
(many figures & rules in resin
kit)
• Play-Asia
(My #1 online shop)

Tag: Figure, Tony Taka, Kotone, Ousaka, Native | | | While many collectors have had their Kotone Ousaka's photo blog up, mine has just arrived, about 8 months since the day I pre-ordered her from Toylet. Kotone was love-at-first-sight when Danny Choo shared about her early this year and I immediately had my fund allocated on her (the main reason that I did not pre-order the much hyped GSC's Saber Lily). Sculptured by Max Factory, she is a NATIVE-Web exclusive figure at 1/7 scale based on Tony Taka's artwork. And being "exclusive" means that she carries a hefty price tag especially for overseas figurine collectors *ouch, my wallet!*
Kotone, boxed in a slide-out green hard case with golden text, has no photograph whatsoever printed on the box! The banana you see is actually its inner yellow box containing the actual figure. With its elegant packaging, NATIVE definitely gives owners the impression that Kotono is a premium figure.
Omake: Some thought that Kotone is too hot, and the banana agrees O.o.

And of course photograph her =3

Posted October 7th, 2009 11:07 pm (Wed) | Lol right before I read this entry mine just arrived too from Toylet. Got on the bandwagon too late to order her from the usual sources. Expensive, but she is very good, the best of the Native webshop exclusives so far.

Posted October 8th, 2009 8:11 am (Thu) | @ Leonia,
Thanks! Haha... this sexy figure is mainly targeted on male otaku :)
As usual, feel free to post it on Shadonia if you find her appropriate.
@ Ultimaknight,
Yes she definitely is! I find Kotone is a bit difficult to photograph, she only looks good from her front left angle.
@ Panther,
Eh, Toylet is the only source that carries Kotone? LOL!
Agreed, she's the best out of the bunch. I did think of getting another Native figure (Collet) but Kotone just sets the bar too high.

Or you could say that Native nailed it right :)
Agreed, expensive but she's a masterpiece.
