I have to ask, Sammy (if you're reading this) where in the ever living hell did you find that Urd figure?!
 I would kill (not literally...but maybe maim a bit) to have one myself. Mind sharing when and where you got that lovely figure?

Nope ... the movies are pretty much that way too (only maybe without the pec-attack, it's been so long.) It really strikes home when a re-release like Santa is sent hurtling into the flaming trash-can, rather than being equally torched but graced with a "misc" tag. Tweeny v3 has pretty visuals, is dark, and this time with no mention of a pro-environmental theme. If this can be kept up a thinpak could be considered. Though the no-new info (presumably to prevent spoilers) review is a bit disheartening. What are the boxes in the upper-left corner of pic 2? |

Those boxes on the top row in pic 2 are a line of Toynami figures of the Valkyries piloted by the characters shown on the spine. They're apparently pretty hard to find. To have that many of them... wow.
Also, are those Dragon Dice pouches peeking out from behind the Rozen Maiden calendar, or just normal dice bags? It's been quite awhile since I've seen mine, but they look kinda familiar... |

...someone tell me I'm not the only one amused that the Haruhi Bunny Girls are having their space shared with...Gandalf. Oh, you pervy wizard you.

Looking at my updated release schedule notes, Tweeny Witches Adventures is supposed to come out 01/06/2009. Hopefully Media Blasters can stick to their schedule. |

Just once, I would like to see an anime where a very extraordinary man becomes totally normal completely intentionally. Then, he and his various female friends go on a trip to the arctic and wear snow suits that show absolutely no skin for the whole episode. In the end though, he abandons his friends because the power of friendship is just a myth. All the characters are in their mid to late thirties and are not especially attractive. The main character's catch phrase is "that last thing I said isn't actually true so don't believe it." He says it very quietly. If you think this is a bad idea, you hate Flag Day and will go to hell. |

I'm going to have to give Tweeny Witches another try. I couldn't make it past the first two episodes way back when, but it sounds like if I stick with it there will be a definite pay-off.

Story-wise, I found the first volume somewhat boring, but I stuck around for the unique visuals--but the show really improves with the second and third volumes once the show gets more action-oriented and starts focusing on its main plot. |

Props to the guy with the shelves. We have a lot of anime in common. Finally, some Solty Rei love!
As for the Shelf Life reviews, I did see the first volume of Tweeny Witches and enjoyed it. It has a very Tim Burton-esque feel to it, and since I love Tim Burton, that was totally cool.  The only thing I didn't like was how short the episodes were. It felt like the plot was way too rushed at some points.

Anyone please feel free to correct me on this, but I thought I remember listening to a past Right Stuf podcast where they explained Tweeny Witches were set up to be short episodes. Apparently they would be placed in between normal-length shows on Japanese tv. I thought the show timings seemed strange too until it was explained that way. |

Last I heard though, Best Buy will have them in early as an exlusive tomorrow (the 25th). So you might be able to pick it up early. Glad, because it was lame they were releasing the complete boxset before the singles were even done. Note: Those mentioning the short episodes, you do realize MB arranged the episodes into basic 23 minute long episodes, right? They did a good job of it, too. |

In the first shelf picture, third row, does anyone know what box set that is between the ROD TV Collector's Edition and the Rosen Maiden LE set? The one that says "Warning" on it?

I'm pretty sure that's Excel Saga. I've never seen the boxset in anything other than slimpack, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like Menchi on the side there. And if it says "Warning"? Yeah, that's probably Excel Saga... And hey, I have that same copy of The Princess Bride! |
