This one really doesn’t have a story behind it… I saw, I bought, I conqueuered (yay for Mandarake). I’ve been trying to collect every single Neco-Arc figure and this is the second last item before completion (the last illusive item would be the Neco-Arc Chaos counterpart). This figma/action figure is part of Good Smile Company’s rare line of Nendoroid Plus. …

So back in December, I decided to finally break the wait and buy myself the extremely rare Tsukibako box (Tsukihime + PLUS+DISC + Kagetsu Tohya) as a first-year-of-working, year-end bonus. So I started searching Mandarake and Yahoo Auctions Japan. Of course, while I was at it, I decided to order Mahoyo, then order the limited edition Fate/hollow ataraxia, then the …

So normally I'm not really a fan of the Black Rock Shooter series. I suppose the reason for this is the same reason I'm not all that much of a fan of Hatsune Miku (despite writing a ~15 page report on her). Back when "Hatsune Miku" gave reactions of, "Who's that, a new anime character?", Kagamine Rin and Len hadn't …

So technically this isn’t my first blog post (my first was a Detolf baseball case shelf tutorial) but I’ve never really bothered writing any kind of proper blog in the past, so I’ll treat this blog entry as my “first” post here on MFC. As the title says, it will be a look into the history that built up to …
Read More »Baseball card cases as Detolf raisers
IKEA’s Detolfs are arguably the cheapest glass display cases you’ll find around but with one major issue: there are only 4 shelves.

Each shelf is also pretty deep, so filling them normally would only result in the back figures being blocked from the front. And …
