Tiny Angelic Angels!

I picked up these little cuties from the post office yesterday! The outfits of these nendoroid petit figures are from the Love Live! School Idol Movie. In the movie they perform a live concert in New York and the song is called Angelic Angel. These yukata outfits are definitely one of my favourites from the whole series (not to mention Eli with her hair untied..... *q*)! I'm so glad that GSC made these petit figures of them! Though I wouldn't mind having scale figures as well... Haha!

 I was pleasantly surprised to see that they included the stage backdrop with these figures! I though it was GSC online shop exclusive! Fortunately I was wrong about it! (^w^) The stage is straight from the movie and fits perfectly for these tiny angels!

 "Wha- what's this?! Honoka-chan's everywhere!!"

Aaaand here they are! Nicely wrapped in plastic.

 It's show time! Angelic Angel is one of my favourite songs since Eli is the center! There's no limit for the power of waifu!! Haha! I would love to see them perfom this song live...

Here's a better picture of the 1st years (Hanayo, Rin & Maki). I think there's something off with Rin's face. One of her eyes seems a bit smaller than the other but it could only be in my eyes only.. What do you think? Maki's hairbun is lovely!

The 2nd years (Kotori, Honoka & Umi). These poses are so cute and even though Umi is my least favourite, I absolutely love her hair in this outfit! Little Minnie Mouse! (>w<)

Last but definitely not least, the 3rd years (Nico, Eli & Nozomi)! Nico's smile is super cute and Eli's expression is a bit seductive like in the video... (*q*) I don't like Nozomis pose that much since it feels a bit awkward and her expression is too "stern" for the character.

Here is the music video from the movie!

Honoka's expression is super cute! Her smile makes me smile too!
They all have really small details on their outfits that are just too adorable to look at! Especially all the hair decorations are absolutely kawaii desuuu~~!!

Then on to the pairings as you can see... XD KotoUmi!

RinPana!

NicoMaki!

And the most perfect of them all: NozoEli!
(DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING BETWEEN THEM! XD)

"HEY! Stop pairing us you freak!"

This jump suit Nico was the secret figure of this set. She's so cute with that judgmental expression! Better not mess with Nico!

Okay and since I can't hold this information inside anymore I'm just gonna burst it out there. I'M GOING TO TOKYO AT THE END OF MARCH TO SEE μ's FINAL LOVE LIVE! Omg I'm so super excited that I can't even put it into words!! I get to see them perform one last time as a whole group! Hnnnggghh!!

It all started when I decided to buy the limited edition Love Live School Idol Movie bluray to enter the exclusive lottery for the concert tickets. I was so sure that I would win at least one ticket and finally when the results were announced, I didn't win. I was so devastated and I cried almost the whole day about my loss. Pat consoled me and told me that one way or another I will get to that concert. Then I decided that yeah screw the lotteries, I'll take the risk and buy a ticket from Yahoo Japan if it comes to that but I was definitely going to go to the concert in one way or another! Soon after they announced another ballot and this time it was open for everyone. I knew I had absolutely zero chance to win a ticket from public lottery but decided to take part in it anyways. And finally today they announced the results and I f*cking got a ticket!! My hands were shaking like crazy when I read the email and then I started to cry, but this time it was tears of joy! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine to win a ticket from a public lottery!! And I still pinch myself time to time to make sure that I'm not dreaming...

Queen Eli brought me good luck!

Umaru and friends in Tokyo

 Heissulivei! Viime japanin reissusta en oo paljoa vielä kerenny tänne blogin puolelle jupista, mutta halusin silti jakaa muutamat kuvat mitä tuli otettua nendoroideista reissun aikana. Mulla oli Umaru-chan mukana, koska se oli helppo tasapainotella minne tahansa ton hamsteriviittansa avulla ja sillä oli paljon vaihtonaamoja! Kaikki mahtu vielä kätevästi tollaseen pieneen Fuji-vuori pussukkaan jota oli helppo kantaa laukussa mukana. Kaikesta helppoudesta huolimatta Umaru pääs ulkoilemaan melko harvoin kun viiletettiin tukka putkella ympäri Tokiota... ( ;___; )

Toivottavasti nää muutamat kuvat piristää edes jonkin verran päivää!

Helloo~! I haven't posted much about our last trip to Japan but now I want to share few of the pictures I took of our nendoroids in Tokyo. I had Umaru-chan with me because she was super easy to pose thanks to her hamster-cape and she had multiple different faceplates! Umaru and all her parts fitted nicely in that Mt. Fuji pouch and it was really handy to carry it in my bag. Despite being easy to carry and pose, I didn't have time to photograph her that often unfortunately... ( ;___; )

Hopefully these few pictures will brighten everyones day even a little bit! ^w^

Mun kaverilla, Marialla, oli Jiji Touken Ranbusta mukana. Umarusta ja Jijistä tuli heti kavereita!!

My friend Maria had Jiji from Touken Ranbu with her. Umaru and Jiji became friends right away!!

They even swapped faces! Oh Jiji, that is so not like you! XD

Umaru-chan in Ueno!

Umaru planning her world domination...

Käytiin myös Akihabaran Kanda pyhäköllä joka on tällä hetkellä varsinkin tunnettu Love Liven takia. Nozomista on jopa tullut temppelin virallinen maskotti! Niin hienoa! Tässä meijän söpö shrine maiden Nozomi kannustamassa kaikkia vierailijoita!

We also visited Kanda shrine in Akihabara which is nowadays known best for the Love Live anime. Nozomi has even become the shrines official mascot! That is so cool! Here's our cute shrine maiden Nozomi cheering for everyone visiting there!

Nozomin luotettava tyttöystävä apulainen, Eli, auttaa pitämään temppelin pihan siistinä!

Nozomi's trusty girlfriend helper, Eli, helps keeping the temple grounds clean!

"Please come to visit my shrine!"

Umarun seikkailut jatkuu Uenossa! Löydettiin ekaa kertaa ikinä Uenon puistosta tällanen vanha ja pieni temppelialue nimeltä Toshogu shrine. Japanin temppelit on kyllä toinen toistaan upeemman näkösiä ilmestyksiä ja niissä vieraillessa tulee aina jotenkin tosi rauhallinen ja seesteinen olo. On ihanaa kaiken sen hulinan ja kiireen keskellä jäädä välillä rauhottumaan ja nauttimaan hetken aikaa Japanin hengellisestäkin puolesta.

Umaru's adventures continue in Ueno! We found first time ever this small and really old temple ground called Toshogu shrine in Ueno Park. The temples in Japan are gorgeous sights one after another and almost every time while visiting them I get this relaxed and somewhat tranquil feeling. I love it when in the midst of all the fuss and hurry, they have these small sanctuaries where you can just take a deep breath and enjoy the spiritual side of Japan as well.

Jiji's inner peace.

I love that face!! TOO CUTE!

"What about me?! My smile is the cutest!"

You're cute as well, don't worry Umaru!

Jiji feels like home within these temple grounds!

Our cutiepies!

"You shall serve Umaru from now on!!"

 Simon didn't approve...

Pitkän päivän jälkeen olikin aika saada mahaan täytettä! Japanin curryt on kyllä ihan parhaita mitä oon koskaan syöny! Älyttömän hyvää! Nyyh, nää ruokakuvat tekee vaan nälkäseks....

After a long day of shrines and playing outdoors, it was time to get something to eat! Japan has one of the best currys I've ever had! Sooooo delicious! These pictures are making me hungry... *sob*

"Umaru can have all that?!"

 Siinäpä se tältä erää! Koitan postailla välillä lisää Japanin reissulta kuvia sitä mukaan kun saan muokattua niitä siedettävään kuntoon. :D Ens kerralla kun oon reissussa niin täytyy kyllä ottaa monipuolisemmin kuvia nendoroideista!

That's all for now! I try to post more photos of our Japan trip after I'm done editing them but it might take a while. :D Next time when I'm in Tokyo I'll definitely take more pictures of my nendoroids there!

!! BONUS PICTURE !! 

Don't ask... I don't even... Only in Japan! XD

My summer WonFes wishlist!

It's that time of the year again when all the figure collectors gather to Makuhari Messe convention center in Japan to get a glimpse of the newest figures and model kits! In other words it's this summer's Wonder Festival 2015!

As usual there were many new figures that I need to get in my collection and here I've listed my highlights of the event. Let's begin! o/

Love Live! School idol Movie nendoroid petit girls! When I first saw the sneak peak of these I almost had a heart attack since I thought they're going to make yet another set of nendoroids. Luckily these are smaller nendoroid petit-figures which can be bought by set and with a much cheaper price than regular nendoroids. These movie outfits are one of my favourites so this is an instant must-buy!! (Eli with her hair untied... （人´∀`*）)

Goddamn Alter is going to kill me and take all my money... and the saddest part is that I will cladly give it to them with no regrets!! (╥ᆺ╥；) Alter makes the most prettiest and best quality Love Live-figures that I have ever seen and the price tag for these beauties makes you wanna desperately win the lottery... X"D I'm going to get at least 4 of these (Eli, Nozomi, Kotori and Rin) but after seeing the painted prototype of Nico I kinda want that too... And then I would only have 4 left so........ I'm going to eat nothing but noodles for the rest of my life! Goodbye munnies, it was nice knowing ya!

And then there was this one......... Σ(꒪◊꒪ ) *nosebleed*

I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ENOUGH FOR THIS ELI!! She's the most gorgeous, prettiest, hottest, cutest piece of plastic I have ever seen!! I couldn't be more happier to get this into my collection! The waifu-power is strong in this one! ♥ ♥

Then there were these super cute Sonicos! The first one is Racing Queen Sonico and OMG she's cute!! I'm a sucker for racing figures and finally being able to get racing Sonico into my collection is yet again one of my dreams come true! Her body looks extra soft and that face is one of the cutest I've ever seen in any Sonico figure (+ twin tails ofc!!) The other figure is Banpresto's prize figure and I can't wait to see it painted!! She's going to look stunning! I love that little starcloud she's skating on and look at those cute cakes...! So adorable! (> ω <) THAT'S how you make a great prize figure!

And of course there was a couple previews as well. I'm not so sure about that first one, I gotta see it first to make a final decision but the second one on the other hand..... SHE'S A MUST BUY. I was so bummed when I saw this love bomber Sonico garage kit a while ago, because I knew I could never have it. But luckily Ques Q heard my prayers and now they are going to release a pre-painted scale figure of it as well!! YAHHOOOO~!!

These Miku's are the only one's that I got my eyes on. The first one is from Rage of Bahamut - series and I was sooooo happy to hear that she's going to be released as a figure. I love the style in RoB and this Miku looks super pretty as well!! That other Miku on the other hand... I'm still kinda struggling wheter to get it or not. Her limbs gives me a bit of a daddy long legs - vibes and I think she would look much better if they would've pose it horizontally. Now she kinda looks like she's doing some weird ass kung-fu moves or something.... ( u__u )

 Only few new nendoroids this time! I'm such a huge fan of Yuru Yuri and I'm so happy that they're going to release Yui next (the first picture)!! I only have Kyouko right now but I try to find Akari from Japan so I can have all of the girls when Yui and Chinatsu are released! The second nendoroid, Hestia, is kinda on the maybe pile right now. I want to see more of her before making the final decision. Last but not least is the Big Boss from MGS V! We already have Solid Snake so of course we need Big Boss as well! Although I'd have preferred the MGS3 version over this one, but beggars can't be choosers and this is what we get! Haha!

Umaruuuuuun~~ She's just too adorable to pass by!!

Last but not least are these two. The first one is Yuzuruha from Oboro Muramasa-game. I hope to get Kongiku figure at some point as well because these two would look so gorgeus together!! Can't wait to see the paint job on Yuzuruha, I can only imagine how gorgeous she'll look! The other figure is Nakiri Erina from Shokugeki no Souma. I'm not a huge fan of Erina, but damn, this figure of her just looks unbelievably detailed and reflects her personality perfectly! So she's going to the maybe pile as well... XD

* * * * * * * * *

That's it for this years WonFest! Now I need to work even harder if I want to get all these figures and still be able to eat.... ehehehe. (not funny!) X"DD Did you find anything intresting from this summer's Wonder Festival?

Until next time ~ !!
