The Diary Of An Insane Bat Mom

This is the week where I am receiving all my Sakura Miku pre-orders! If you're interested, I posted my latest acquisitions on my Anime Figures page. The Spiritale figure I received earlier this week deserves its own blog post. I pre-ordered it in April 2021 and not only was this figure highly anticipated, but it is also super gorgeous! This is a scale figure, therefore, it comes with a hefty price tag. On the other hand, I love cherry blossoms and I had to purchase it. My dream is to go to Japan in the springtime so I can experience the splendours of the sakura trees personally! love how she is beautifully perched on the branch and the flowers are so pretty. The figure is very well sculpted and the colours are well-painted.  Sakura Miku figure by Spiritale ( Otakumode) My beautiful Sakura Miku figure

Neon Genesis Evangelion Thrice Upon a Time movie was released in 2021 and is the fourth installment of the series. I have been a fan of this anime for years. In fact, it was one of the first animes I ever watched!  In 2021, Amakuni and Amiami released a beautiful 1/6 scale figure of Asuka Shikinami Langley to commemorate the movie.

In the series, you can clearly see she has many symptoms associated with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) that are left untreated. She reminds me that I need to keep constant vigilance over my mental health and to continue seeking treatment. She is my lesson on who I could be if I let my symptoms take control of my life.  I waited almost two years for this figure and I was not disappointed when it arrived. It was totally worth the long wait! A beautifully crafted figure of Asuka Shikinami Langley  by  Amakuni and A

One of my hobbies is collecting anime figures and I got into Hatsune Miku during the Pandemic when I started playing the rhythm game.  I won't post every single figure I get but if you follow me on social media, you will see more pictures. I will blog about Grail figures though. I have created an Anime Figures Page where I will post photos of my latest acquisitions if anyone is interested. For the past 2 years, if you ordered anything from Japan, you would know that International shipments were suspended by Japan Post. Many figures sat in a warehouse until shipments were resumed. I managed to change shipments on some figures to have them delivered by FedEx or DHL but the larger figures were too expensive to change shipping methods. The figure I received today came from Japan and I still had a $45 customs charge on it!  I was super happy when I went to the post office to finally be able to pick up my highly anticipated, Deep Sea Girl figure by The Goodsmile Company!
