Well....... I can't say I got a cut on the face like that from those kind of packagings (gotta hurt though... hehe...ouch Exclamation Confused ), I have been cut on my hands and fingers like that. Damn package makers... let them get cut like that and see if they like it after having to get a shot afterward.... hehe.

But having a scar is kinda cool though..... lol Wink .

The only thing that would have made me laugh more is if Nina had gone crazy like Dilandau from Vision of Escaflowne. Sometimes the scar makes you feel heroic, sometimes it makes you feel totally psycho and more villainous.

"Cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek . . . "

or in this case:

"Face, face, face, face, face . . ." Wink

Or if it was in Japanese...... "It stings, it stings, it stings, it stings, it stings....." Smile

Oh man, so many of my favorite things in one comic: Nina, figures, Nina opening figures, and Nina dressed as Queen Emeraldas!

Time to get the ol' Emeraldas tape into the ol' VCR.

By the by, is it just me or is Nina slowly going the way of Dokuro-chan? Bloody and funny. Twisted Evil

BTW, Robin's artistry looks similar to the cover of the "UMD-DX" manga that Carlo Santos reviewed yesterday... all 27 volumes!


Where do you think I got the cover from? Wink I think it's awesome that Robin is so willing to go along with the joke.

Oddly enough, I haven't really run into Impenetrable Blister Packs of Death with my own anime figure purchases ... mine usually come in nice normal boxes. I think it's because I'm more into 8" and up figures these days.

The instant I saw there were going to be action figures involved, I knew it'd be Daisuke! Anime hyper

Hilarious comic though. I wish I could get an awesome scar like that! Chicks'd dig me then. Cool But then again, I guess I've already got my hako-chan fangirling over my "eyepatch," if some of you from the FF know what I mean Wink

Lets not forget that as those figures go flying out of the package 20 minutes later, they tend to break even on the softest of carpets Razz

Funniest. Comic. Yet.

I love her Otaku-boy's reaction, too. Hopefully this syndrome will depart in a week or two or Myoopi might get scared...or evil. Twisted Evil

My experiences with IBPoD are all from electronics items, and have resulted in a few cuts on my fingers. My one (actually manga) figure is the Revoltech Yotsuba, which has very nice packaging. And she comes with ice cream and a water pistol! No mop, though.
