He is not my father

I must admit that I am not a real Star Wars fan, but the franchise does have a special place in my heart. And I still maintain that the second trilogy is completely fanfic.

And well, Darth Vader is just one of those icons that you can’t help but not forget. And I tend to have some in my collection.

I have one still in the box…
Darth Vader, still in Box

…One already out of it.
another Darth Vader, out of box

And cute little items that I couldn’t let pass.
Cellphone strappy, and SD figure
A cellphone strappy (no longer working, as I have used up all its battery) and an SD figure with the famous “Noooo~” gesture. Or is that the asphyxiation gesture?

Henrietta, Gunslinger Girl

She had limited availability and is only available through lottery. The only places to find her now are through eBay and Yahoo! Japan Auctions (and I also saw a couple at Yahoo! Taiwan Auctions a few years back) where prices can go as high as USD200, at least that’s the highest I last saw.

I was lucky enough to acquire her for a reasonable price– Not cheap, but reasonable. An amount I was willing to let go for such a rare item. And I was lucky enough to find a seller that had her in ‘buy it now’ option rather than bidding. And lucky enough as well that said item didn’t have any takers, and the item was listed for a long time already. And for a very expensive girl, she passed through shipping without a hitch!

I’m very very lucky indeed.

Gunslinger Girl Henrietta is a limited P:Chara release.
