My Loot

My loot, (clockwise from bottom left) consisting of a Yuki Nagato mobile phone strap, an Azusa Nakano Nendoroid and a 3D poster of Yuki Nagato

Damage to wallet:

Yuki Nagato mobile phone strap from COSPA: S$12.90
Yuki Nagato 3D poster from ODEX (cringe…): S$25
Nendoroid no. 104 – Azusa Nakano of K-On! from Good Smile Company: S$60
Nendoroid no. 125 – Hinagiku Katsura of Hayate the Combat Butler from Max Factory: S$12 (pre-order deposit)

Total damage: S$109.90

I didn’t buy the Yuki Nagato (Disappearance ver.) Nendoroid because I think the expressions just doesn’t look as good as the original (Yes, I actually prefer the original version of my waifu). Otherwise, nothing else really caught my eye at AFAX save for the SOS Brigade T-Shirt that JA got. COSPA unfortunately ran out of size M so I had to forgo it for now.

All in all, I enjoyed my time at AFAX. It was certainly more interesting than last year, both in terms of guests and merchandise. It also helps that I now have some disposable income, which allows me to bring more smiles to the main beneficiary of my money this year, Good Smile Company (pun definitely intended). Looking forward to more awesome-ness from AFAX next year.
