A new challenger appears.

Hi guys and girls of internet land, welcome to my (and Mr Shadow’s) blog. I would like to take this time to briefly introduce myself. My first contact with anime was the same way quite a few people got into anime: Pokémon (I can’t believe this is in spell-check). Yeah I know it is clichéd but hay it was a start. Other shows that where in the periphery at the time were sailor moon and also DIGIMON (oh how I loved that show, shame the 4^th season wasn't brought to the UK).

they were digital

This then lead me to zoids. My first collecting madness. And also my first experience importing figures/model kits. The joys that a simply model kit that is motorised and walks are so great. Below is a picture of one of the little guys that are still around.

I then lost track of anime for a while. Then I found a small channel in the UK called propeller which used to have a show called Anime network (I think). This show had entirely ADV licensed anime shows on it which lead me to seeing Neon Genesis Evangelion, for the first time. I fell in love with it instantly and continued to watch it till Anime network stopped airing, on episode 24…yeah. Fast forward two years and I finally got to see the end.

I got into Figure collecting at the end of 2009, after Mr Shadow introduced me to a certain Miss Suzumiya. Got hooked on the show and it is now one of my favourite franchises. And by chance, while on a trip to London, I stumbled onto TokyoToys in the trocodiro centre. I went in an left with this little beauty:

The Maid Tsuruya-sanJ. And the rest is history.

Now onto the blog. The aim of this blog is to bring news, reviews and general interest items that I find on the internet and place them here.

I hope you all enjoi your stay here, and for now BYE BYE. (no bye-bi’s from me)
