Seventh and Last Round of neko’s (belated) January haul
6 03 2008
I can’t get enough boxes.
About time! My Melty Blood set is complete! And with this, my expensive January haul, peaking at over 450 Euros, is over.
…not that I did not order anything after that anymore. This week, I got AQUA Volumes 1 and 2…
I had pre-ordered Akiha and Kohaku around January 11th, and HLJ shipped them around February 15th. Today it’s the 6th of March… Heck, SAL is slowpoke.jpg. But at least I saved 10 Euros, for not having them shipped with EMS.
So anyway, here’s Akiha.
 OOPS! I didn’t do it! XD |
 Much better… maybe :P |

Now, it’s Kohaku’s turn.

So far for the Melty Blood figurines. I must say that the quality of these figurines is really great, I absolutely love them. I wonder if there will be a fourth series… Perhaps white/black Len, Miyako? Mecha-Hisui? Perhaps even Sacchin??? (isn’t it sad ;_;)
Here are finally group photos under somewhat better lighting conditions (finally found a way to correct it a bit…) (sorry Ciel T_T)

Good thing it’s over now… I hope. I’m slowly running out of space there on my shelf.
So. As I was saying, I could not resist ordering the AQUA manga because of my recent ARIA fandom… Please don’t make me buy the ARIA soundtracks. I kid.
These two volumes are indeed Tokyopop. At first, I feared ordering those because of the horrendous font they used on the cover (to differentiate their release from ADV’s), but I still gave it a go. I was pretty confuzzled when I got them with the original font…
Of course. Tokyopop also has a branch in Germany, and since ADV did not release there, they were able to use the original font. Yatta~
Yet, I really want to get the original manga someday. Because I can imagine a lot of the original feel is lost in the German translation… blergh.
Anyway ARIA Volumes 1 and 2 are under way. T_T The expenses won’t stop… OH SNAP! I forgot I ordered ARIA Posterbook 3 yesterday on amazon jp… looooool
The hell, Germany gets un-screwed title logos?
I don’t think the title logo change was due to licensing, but TOKYOPOP’s marketing department being retarded. Does the German release have the stupid red alien head on the bottom of the spine (presumably to mark the series as “sci-fi”)?
what… is the meaning of this?
my Aqua v1 and 2, by TP as well, have different Fonts…..
Nice Haul!
@Runningkid: Pictured is TOKYOPOP’s German release.
@stc: the spine shows only their logo, white on red background. I don’t think it’s the same as yours.
Also, he noticed it a few minutes after he posted the entry… I should make it possible to edit one’s comment for a limited time after posting.
Wow! Perfect Melty Blood figures collection! I envy you.. so lucky to have bucks in a pocket to be spend isnt it.. ^^
