Cosplayer In Focus: Maridah

Well, it’s April fools, but I don’t want to join in the April Fools jokes because I couldn’t think of anything witty enough to fool anyone! Instead, I focused my free time into something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while: interviews. Hopefully, unlike Music Mondays that I have failed to follow through by now, I shall keep up with this series — but of course, it’s not a regular thing since it’s pretty difficult to be able to schedule things with other people, not to mention go up to them and say: “Hey! Can I take up some of your time and interview you?” Thankfully, the first person that I’m going to feature is sweet enough to say yes, and so, here it is!

I had the privilege of interviewing the awesome, lovely and sweet Saber cosplayer known as Maridah (or maridahhadiram). You might have seen her around since she has sent her entry for OTACOOL 2, and was lucky enough to get DC’s previous spot on the cover. So, enough of my boring blabber and let’s get on to the interview!

figma Saber (Fate Extra ver.): To get or not to get?

So, the Fate/Stay Night series has another game that’s coming out called Fate Extra, with Saber in another getup — and I guess with the huge success gathered by Saber Lily from Fate/Unlimited Codes, they decided to make another exclusive figma to come with the game. Danny Choo just posted the photos of the limited edition Saber Extra (that sounds wrong) a bit earlier. As much as I love Saber, I can’t really say the same for this figure.

Quick figure pre-order updates

Hi everyone! Sorry for not being able to update recently, I’ve been around school for the past couple of days and didn’t really have the opportunity to surf the interwebs. It seems that there have been announcements of several noteworthy pre-order items, so I’ll just mash them up here in one post, for your convenience. As per usual, all of these are available via Hobby Search, and possibly Hobby Link Japan.

A package arrived…

Kagamiku wonders what's in the box

Last Thursday morning, (the same day as Kagamiku’s unfortunate accident :c) a package arrived in our store. It was a gift from a friend and I couldn’t contain my excitement the whole day. Then, when I got home that night, I hurriedly went ahead to open the package.

Saber Lily, Arawn, Riannon and Raspberyl Nendoroids open for Pre-orders!

Four uber cute Nendoroids are coming out this September and October — which will leave Nendoroid afficionados’ wallets a little less full again.
