My Love For Life Review

There are times when you were not planning to buy anything but out of the blue you stumbled onto a fantastic bargain that was too good to ignore. Well that is what happened to me this time. Well after waiting for nearly 3 weeks my order has finally arrived. Here is an overview of the shipping box from playasia.

Most damaged area of the box.

I think this box has been opened up for inspection then resealed back using clear cello tape.

Open box shot reveals the 1/60 scale Queadluun-Rau Maximilian Jenius version action figure by Yamato which has already occupied over 80% space capacity of the shipping box! Crammed at the side is a small but rather expensive box of M.O.E. Shin Koihime trading figure by Volks. There is one last small item which is still hidden within the pile of packing pallets which will be revealed later in this post.

Rear view of the box of the M.O.E. Burning Shin Koihime Musou Ryubi (Toka) Trading Figure. The poor packing arrangement of this box inside the packing box has caused some squashing damage.

Here comes the highlight of the batch. Frontal view of the Battle Suit Queadluun-Rau Maximilian Jenius by Yamato. Minimal damage on the box, thank goodness.

There is a minor tear at the lower left front portion of the box.

The final item included in this batch is a mobile phone strap featuring Gundam Virtue.

The Gundam OO Cube Deform Strap is made by Banpresto.

Rather interesting to find the wordings "FOR SALE ONLY IN JAPAN" printed on the back of the packaging.

I think it is a nice touch to use clear green flexible plastic as an extra accessory on the strap.

This is the first time that I got an action figure by Yamato and it is quite a big one as well. Didn't plan on buying it but it was at a discount price that was hard to come by so I took the plunge and never looked back. Overall this delivery is good as the items did not suffer from any major postal damage.

This is the second time I order from Otacute. In my first order I opted for Fedex shipping since the price difference between Fedex and SAL was minimal. This time however, I chose SAL instead because my items total weight is lesser than before. After more than 3 weeks of waiting, I received the postal notice in my mailbox. Here is the overview of the delivery box.

Customs declaration form which is attached in a semi folded manner. First time I encounter such a case.

A Japanese fragile sticker also attached to the shipping box in a semi folded manner. There has to be a reason for such a positioning of the labels but I sure can't figure it out yet. They might also act as a makeshift temper proof seal but the edge that these labels are attached to is not meant to be opened.

After opening up the shipping box, you can see the seller has used Japanese newspaper to buffer the items inside.

After removing the top layer of newspaper buffer, you can see the nice designs of the Revoltech and Mobip boxes.

First up is Mobip Mio Akiyama. She is my first Mobip figure!

Next we have Revoltech No. 79 Date Masamune.

As a bonus I get a freebie with each shipment from Otacute. I think it is some kind of miniature samurai helmet display.

Thanks to Playasia's recent sales for the Lunar New Year, I finally manage to get my sought after Revoltechs. After waiting for over 3 weeks, I got the postal notification slip delivered to my door step. Here is the overview of my delivery box.

First up is Revoltech No. 72 Reycal Orchalcum!

Finally I got myself a Revoltech No. 59 ARX-8 Laevatein! I missed out on the first initial release and I truly consider myself lucky to be able to get one during this rerun.

My first gashapon! Gashapons are translated to be Japanese capsule toys where they are sold in vending machines with the actual toy encased in plastic capsule. Tomy Takara SR (Super Realistic) Drossel... 2 of them!

To be honest I am quite ecstatic to receive this delivery which contains much sought after Revoltechs and SR Drossel. I am truly glad that they arrived in good condition as well.
