Emilia & Beatrice【Re:Zero - Story To Be Continued | Ichiban Kuji】Bishoujo Prize Figures

 Beatrice finally joins my Re:Zero-Starting Life From Another World figure collection. More importantly she is clad in her iconic pink Lolita outfit. Prize figures of Beatrice in her Lolita outfit are rare to almost non-existent. Emilia is the other pre-painted prize figure, and she is similarly clad in her own iconic outfit of purple and white from the anime series. While not as rare, figures of Emilia in her purple and white outfit are still fairly hard to find, especially in the budget prize figure category.    

 Below are three Unboxing & Review videos of the Re:Zero pair of Emilia and Beatrice. 

 All the pre-painted figures above are from the Banpresto Re:Zero-Story To Be Continued Ichiban Kuji. For ratings of the figures, please do have a look at the videos above.

Emilia and Ram Prize Figures from the Re:Zero Dreaming Future Story Ichiban Kuji

 Emilia and Ram are the first prize figures in my collection that come from an Ichiban Kuji, specifically one called Re:Zero Dreaming Future Story. And while technically both are won via winning tickets i.e. Prize B for Emilia and Prize C for Ram, I didn't get them by playing the Ichiban Kuji. Instead, I had gotten them pre-owned or second hand from online third party resellers.

 Above is the Unboxing & Review video for the Ram figurine while below is the video for Emilia, both of whom are important characters in the Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World isekai anime. 

 So figure by figure, my pre-painted collection is growing slowly but surely. Eventually I'm hoping for some higher quality scale painted figures to join my collection. But those are pretty expensive, so most of my early pieces will be more budget friendly ones. Anyway, that's it for this week. I hope you'll take a look at the videos, and like it. Until next time, be well and be happy! 

My First Ichiban Kuji Pull ..... a Failure?

 After finishing a rather time-consuming project (i.e a scale model kit of the Going Merry pirate ship), I have been guilty of taking it easy these past two weeks. Apart from checking out some budget-friendly pre-painted figurines to add to my collection, I didn't really do anything much on the hobby front. Usually I'll source both pre-owned as well as brand new pre-painted figurines from online shops based either in Japan or Malaysia. But occasionally I do visit local hobby shops if they're having promotions, and get such figurines from a bricks-and-mortar store. And it was in one of these rare visits that I decided to try my hand at an Ichiban Kuji pull to see if I could win a prize figurine.

 Above is a short video of my very first Ichiban Kuji pull. You might wonder what on earth is an Ichiban Kuji? Well, it's a lottery prize game operated by Banpresto, a Japanese toy company under the Namco Bandai Holdings umbrella. How it works is that you purchase a ticket, and then check what prize you have won with said ticket. Obviously Ichiban Kuji is not as widespread in Malaysia as it is in Japan. But if you look hard enough, you can still find them in local specialty hobby shops. Anyway, I should be getting back to the hobby worktable soon after this extended rest. All that's left to do is decide what exactly I want to work on as my next project. That'll be in my next post. For now, I thank you for taking the time to visit my humble blog, and wish that you be well and happy.
