Oh my~ What a cutie! :3 *meow*
Yea, I know I’m a bit slow since this little figure was released a long way back in December 2007.
Drama resolved.
And why did he arrive so late? Well, the story goes like this…
I placed a pre-order with Playasia when it was first announced in 2007. So after that I waited… and waited… and waited… till February 2008… still no news of Konoe when he is supposed to have been shipped in December 2007 already!
So, I became upset when I couldn’t find him anywhere else until… I found another online store Toyslogic (http://www.toyslogic.com) And what did I do? I placed an order with them since they indicated on their site that they have it in stock.
And then? I waited and waited and waited… Sheesh. NO NEWS AGAIN! What’s their problem??? *insert Lulu’s Seriously… expression* And my enquiry emails were ignored. &^%@#$%#@ They were supposed to be an OK online figure retailer judging from various good feedback posted by their customers. I’m pissed because Toyslogic already charged my credit card for it. [Update 28 May 2008: They offered to refund me since they couldn't find the item altho' it was reserved. They're trying to locate it for me now. Anyway I asked them to hold the refund until they are absolutely sure they can't find it... Let's see.] *&@*&#%&@#*#@& So BUYER BEWARE. Hmm ok, maybe as a deposit but hey please answer my emails? At least Playasia did not charge my credit card for unshipped goods. Anyway, I’ve already cancelled my order with Playasia but will still patronise them for their otherwise good service record. As for *&%$#% Toyslogic, I’ll wait and see what they have to say about my delayed order. [Update: 25 May 2008: Issue currently in the process of being resolved. I finally got a response only by posting in their forum. The admins were friendly and helpful. If only their email responses (which was non-existent) had the same standard. 28 May 2008: Okie... there's an improvement...]
In the end I found and ordered Konoe from Hobby Link Japan late April this year. I’ve made previous orders with them and I learned to trust their indications about stock availability. You might wonder, why didn’t I just buy from them in the first place? Well, cos they mislabelled the product name as SnapPs Demonbane and I didn’t find Konoe when I searched their website :P Just a stroke of luck when I finally saw the item listed there. Yep, they have since relabeled the product name to SnapPs Konoe correctly.
Anyway, a quick review about the figure (couldn’t resist adding a bigger pic :3):
Lamento SnapPs Konoe costs 1500 Yen (w/o shipping). He is made of soft vinyl and stands around 11 cm tall. Very cute face and well-sculpted. To be honest, he is too cute to be an accurate representation of the character in the game. Hahaha… I don’t mind that although I prefer the Lamento one-coin series’s Konoe.
He comes with a detachable tail and additional holes on his shoulder for SnapPs figure compatibility. All SnapPs figures are compatible with one another, so if you own other SnapPs figures, you can swap their parts around. Cosplay? Oh Yeah Baby! LOL~ Konoe’s head and arms have limited poseability but he is meant to be displayed rather than as an action figure. Generally he can stand better if we attach him to his base :)
Konoe is my first SnapPs figure. I have a wishlist item that is Togainu no Chi SnapPs Akira who is an Animate Store-only product and plans are underway to get my hands on him… lol~ as soon as my wallet decides to cooperate, that is :3

( T~T) why are there such people in the world… I got verbally molested when I was around 14. Minding my business when crossing an overhead bridge and this young, ok looking guy (probably in his 20s) commented about my breasts out of the blue as we passed each other. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was wearing my school uniform at that time. There wasn’t anyone else and I shouted at him. He walked away fast. I didn’t do anything else and I felt so helpless. :(
Yeah… sunblock is your friend! XD
It’s not fair, becoz we dun go around in public commenting somebody’s penis right in front of their face.
Come to think of it we understand men insecurities a lot better than they understand us.
The moral of this disappointment is probably ‘finda ya’self a nice and sensitive guy’ XD
I had my period late so i’m pretty flat back then among my friends hee hee…
I learn than men can be childish when it comes to breast, dun they ever got breastfeed by their mom? *sigh*
I think gay won’t do something like tht, don’t ya think?
Erm I forgot to add… those were intentionally lewd comments. I don’t know that guy at all. I can still kinda remember what he said and the tone of voice he used. *pissed* He thinks young school girls in uniform can bully. ( T~T) And I thought I was such a tomboy already… still get targeted by strange men. Hmm, maybe that’s why I like Tamama. It would feel so good to go berserk on these people and blast the bloody hell of them out of this universe.
But… I don’t think I’m big leh… just average. And our uniform was quite loose and it made us look flat too. That person is just looking for an easy target.
It is possible that a gay guy can still sexually harass somebody bah… hehe
Yea i consider the berserk factor as a reason for liking Tamama. During normal state Tamama is very polite and cute…a lovable character indeed!
Of course, it’s just a school uniform. Doesn’t have to show anything except that you’re a student. The guy must be really really shallow minded.
