What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[Gemsy-chan]

My Pin Box Bracer Supply Box got delivered today. It's a thing of beauty and the best protected parcel I've ever gotten (it had plastic packaging corners on the outside of the box so they can't get dented).

Spoiler

There is more stuff in the bag but not got round to taking photos yet.

Finally, after so many years out of print - received this collector's edition vol 1 today

 

[Girls with Guns]

I so love Mushishi! I really wish they would release all of it on Blu-ray here, but I guess that is just a pipe-dream.

Anyway, I received the third steelbook in my 10-Steelbook November pre-order from Crunchyroll today, so here is the full photo spread for it. This release has the steelbook and a thick booklet both wrapped inside a fat, clear plastic slipcover:

The "satin" jacket was a very cheap piece of plasticky rubbish and def not satin - tbf to Temu they gave me a full monetary refund without me having to return it. Can't win 'em all! I am pretty happy with the fancy suit I bought off there though - I had to adjust the length of the trousers ofc, and I do need to do a repair on the crotch seam of the trousers atm but it is pretty swish tho, I will def continue to enjoy wearing the waistcoat and overcoat if the trousers end up not working out so well

My angel wings hoodie arrived from Vinted, it's def grey rather than black but it fits well, the angel wings are lovely and it will make a great piece to do my upcycling project with the raven patch on and I'm quite sure there will be enough room to add a pocket too (it also washed well in the machine none of the gems on the wings came off in the wash so it looks to be pretty well made). I also got my two gorgeous dresses from LolitaInside and have been enjoying wearing both of them very much, the white blouse that came with one of them is also really lovely though I will likely need to reinforce the stitching on a couple of the buttons but it rly is very pretty and the buttons are lil shiny pearly white heart shapes!

The anime gamer girl hoodie is very cool, a tighter fit than the baby be mine one but still perfectly comfortable and very cute

The first couple of batches of patches (XD) arrived as well and I am really excited to start properly working on the upcycling! I am also working on another clothing project thing that I'll reveal more about later! Rest of the patches will be in the next post or two

I am deeply disappoint in the images of Frieren's chest (...pervert, not that it exists tbf) on the same page... just being of it, closed. Thus, I'm here to remedy this.



Was expecting a cheap as chips plastic case, and not much else. Mainly as I'm much too lazy check such things, and get CEs if like things. So, 'twas a pleasant surprise get some value. Not quite £99.99 worth but it'll do. Maybelline~

The interior of the chest being fabric a nice, if slightly random, +1. The art book feels premium, with both plentiful art and some interviews. And it coming with a gold patterned, more wieldy art box (albeit minus artwork) a nice touch. The mimic standee is naff, mind.



'Tis all. Fare-thee-well.

 

[Anime1977]

I've been on a bit of a artbook binge as of late and I've got one more to come lol.

Return of the Living Dead
Limited Edition

4K, Blu-ray and 3rd disc with a feature length documentary.

This will be my most expensive film. I ordered the USA steelbook a few months ago, just because I wanted it. I'm considering swapping the discs but there is a poster and a book that the steelbook doesn't have. So I want the packaging but not the region A discs.

I got a new mattress! My first night's sleep on it was very comfortable, I bought a mattress protector and put it on as soon as I opened the mattress to activate the 60-night sleep trial so if I'm not happy with it I can replace it with a different mattress between 30 and 60 days after I purchased it

These lovely books also arrived, though I'm a bit less enamoured of the illustrations in this edition of The Snow Queen than I thought I'd be, still it is not very long so I will give it a read (again lol, I've read this translation in a different edition before) and see what I make of it in that context

I also bought an 8-socket extension cord which also has 2-USB ports (the older type, I think they are called USB-A?) and 1 USB-C port, and a couple of USB-C to USB-C charger cables, not sure I will bother putting pics but the extension cord is great! Not tested the cables yet but they are Anker so prob good quality

One black Friday special from Amazon.

 

[BrokenPhoenix]

Arrived yesterday; but one I pre-ordered instantly as I missed out on the individual releases.

Haijime no Ippo The Fighting: Complete Collection from MediaOCD.

Once again, very impressed with the shipping from MediaOCD; despite being a single item it was shipped in a sturdy cardboard box with packing paper.

Additionally, it was shipped in good time and arrived before the official release date of November 25th! Which for something coming from the US is almost unheard of!

Fest Godzilla; very much a release for the Godzilla completionist. Toho have been making action-packed 10 minute Godzilla videos each year since 2020. The latest one is presented on YouTube on Godzilla Day each year (03/11), and is then scrubbed from the internet two weeks later, because Toho. This blu-ray contains the first five shorts (about 40 minutes total) and almost three hours of behind the scenes features. This being a JP release, unfortunately none of it is subtitled, so I just bought it for the kaiju action.

The CD is Akira Ifukube's soundtrack for Godzilla and Mothra: Battle for Earth (1992).



The three items on the top are from Amazon's early Black Friday sale, which seems to have better prices on Crunchyroll titles than the current Zavvi sale.

I waited too long to get Dagashi Kashi season 2, which is OOP in the US now. Fortunately a UK-based Amazon Marketplace seller has a few copies of the Australian release.

The Mandalorian wasn't discounted, but these Disney+ steelbooks almost never are. I figured I'd better grab them before they go out of print, since some of the Marvel ones are already gone.

Not that it matters, but just in case you did not know, that's a New Zealand version, which is why it has a ratings sticker over the one printed on the insert, which I can see part of the rounded edge of peeking out on the right side. That one underneath is the Australian rating.

Good to know, thanks. I wondered why it looked a bit different from Australian releases I've had previously.
