The heroine for this figure is from one of those Anime shows that have a long, long name... Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatte'ru AKA OreGairu or Hamachi in Japanese. English localisation is a bit more generic as My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU... Google that and you'll e...

That said, I really liked the way the skirt, weapon and the rest of the gear was sculpted on this figure. Apparently this was originally a limited edition figure that could only be pre-ordered through the March/April issues of Hobby Japan back in 2016. So, let's see what this boo...

Anyway, let's have a look at this bootleg version of 15+ Only Orchidseed's Triage X: Yuko Sagiri "Ver. Darkness" (NSFW) 1/7 Scale figure that went for 12,980 Yen (£87) back in 2016 May is like. Figure comes in a lot of parts. The long hair on the front is clearly a different colo...

That said, I came across this Lancer Scathach figure and thought it had an interesting pose with great detail on the hair and clothing. So, let's see how this bootleg version of PMOA's 1/7 scale figure measures up to the real figure sold back in 2016 November for 13500 Yen (£91)...

Here is Boa Hancock from the "Flag Diamond Ship" series sporting a more stereotype pirate costume you'd probably see ladies wearing during Halloween - made available as an crane game prize back in September 2017. The Flag Diamond Ship series aims to capture the "amazing hourglass...

However, even crane game prizes can have bootleg versions which can go for more than what the genuine prizes sell for... While most sellers admit they are selling a Chinese bootleg version ("China version"), most of them don't use real photos unfortunately and just re-use the ori...

Not much has really changed since that post in 2009 but there are a few new shops I discovered that I didn't mention back then. Import Japanese goods are pretty much everywhere in Hong Kong. Japan's only a 2 hour flight away after all unlike UK which can be 14 - 19 hours so it on...

Right, I gave in. After watching the Nendoroid dance and Vocaloid 2 videos, I finally decided to purchase the Hatsune Miku figure. This is the 33rd figure in the Nendoroid series and it's the first figure that I've imported (not counting the free Gashapon ones YesAsia gives away) so lets see what's here. It's also the first time I...
