Figure Piece: Portrait of Pirates Tashigi

Hello readers, it's Sailorsamus again with a new One Piece figure! To give a little background, I'm a newbie One Piece fan. I've only just finished the East Blue arc in both the anime and manga, and haven't yet reached the point where Chopper joins the crew. To be more specific, the Straw Hats have just landed at Whisky Peak.

Currently, Tashigi is one of my favorite characters. I really enjoyed watching her interactions with Zoro before the crew headed for the Grand Line. When I stumbled across an online sale for the Portrait of Pirates Tashigi figure, of course I jumped at the opportunity to have a high quality figure of a favorite female character.

The Portrait of Pirates line from Megahouse has become well known for high quality and an insane release schedule.

Figure Piece: Dragon Ball X One Piece Kai DX Roronoa Zoro

I'm pretty new to One Piece fandom, I've really only gotten into it in the past year, and I'm about 60 episodes into the anime, and only up to about volume 10 in the manga. Catching up to the massive backlog of episodes and chapters is very daunting, but so far I'm enjoying it.

That said, my favorite character is Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter. Once I knew that I would be attending A-kon, it was only natural that I would be on the lookout for a good Zoro figure to start my One Piece/Zoro collection. Figure collecting is something that I've only started around 4-5 years ago, and most of my collection is simply gashapons - small boxes that hold small random figures that you put together. In the past year, I've moved up to collecting the bigger PVC figures as well. At A-kon 21 this year, I ended up buying Dragon Ball X One Piece Kai DX Roronoa Zoro by Banpresto.

Con Piece: Going KamiKaze Con! Part One!

What a con! It is Kamikaze Con! The con where all your dreams can come true! A place where you can get up close and personal with your favorite voice actors and actress! That is how this con was because it was just such a small convention. 

Really, this was a kind of small convention. I went to this convention last year and it was small too but for some reason it felt like it was smaller then last year. I didn't see that many cosplayers and the rooms for the panels weren't full. It was kind of lame but overall I think it was cool since it allowed the voice actors to get even more up close and personal with the fans. So that was cool which made my job as a blogger even easier and cooler. 

One thing that kind of annoyed me was that it didn't felt like we were going to a con till the day we got there. Usually you can feel excited about going to a con a few days in advance but I couldn't feel it for this one. I go into detail later in this the coverage of this convention.

One Piece More: That Figures, Six More Months!

You know? I hate the winter time. It is cold. I don't like the cold. It is cold. haha Still I do like snow. I don't get snow often where I live. In the last five years it has snowed only three times and during those times we got a lot of snow! Boy was it fun to play in the snow. Still cold without snow sucks. Though I am sure guys who live in the northern United States are sick of it by now seeing that it has been snowing for two weeks now? Maybe more? I don't really know but I hope all you guys are okay. Sucks about making up those snow days though. As for me....Spring please come soon.
