...since I last wrote here. And it's already July!!! I just couldn't find the time anymore with all the work I've been doing lately. But yeah, expect something here...soon, I guess.

(I hope!)

I've been reading and finishing some manga lately so I'll probably write about those or something. No time to watch anime at all and my backlog's been piling up more and more!

My wallet's going to be empty real soon after I get my pre-orders on October and November: Hayase, Clalaclan, Sanzo, Kureha, Musashi. Musashi is the most expensive among all them, $200, but IMO, he's worth it!

I'm still waiting for my Win-chan and Jeff's Leilei from Figurakuen's OceanMoon which he will be shipping on Saturday. Oh I also got some Azumanga Daioh gashapon - Chiyo, Osaka and Yomi. They're rare and free!

I'm not really sure if I'll be getting a Gundam Shin Musha, but I do hope I can get one soon. What's cool about the Shin Musha is that it's a robot wearing samurai armor. When I saw it, I knew I had to get one. But those Gundam cost as much as one PVC figure, so it was quite a dilemma.

On a final note, check out the awesomeness of the Shin Musha:

Good thing I switched jobs already, otherwise, owning these upcoming figures would just be a dream. That, or wait for someone who owns them to sell them to me at a cheaper price ^^

So I have pre-ordered Hayase Mitsuki already. And a very nice forum-mate from Otakai has pre-ordered Genjo Sanzo for me too from Play-Asia.

If you've been reading Poopsies for quite some time now, you probably have an idea as to what my figure preferences are. To put it simply, I'm dying to get my hands on the Musashi Sculpture Arts figure. The price is steep, but what the heck. Good thing my dad told me that he'd pay for my dog's food - so more money for me!!

Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm so skipping this Hollywood-adaptation of Dragonball. Anyway, here's a first look at the cast of the Dragonball movie. What the heck did they make Goku wear? At least, Master Roshi is in his "right" clothes.

Here's a first look at Kristin Kreuk as Street Fighter's Chun-Li.

Where's her signature pork-bun hairstyle? What about her massive thighs? Those heavy-looking spiked bracelets?? WTH did they do to you, Chun-Li?!

So I'm not too sure what to make of this. Jake Gyllenhaal (of the Brokeback Mountain fame) along with Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) is set to play the lead parts (Prince and Princess respectively) in the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie.

Gyllenhaal - I so don't know how to pronounce his name - will play Dastan, a 6th-century Persian prince. He has to join forces with the feisty Princess Tamina (Arterton) in order to save the world from an evil nobleman who is out to get his hands on the Sands of Time. The Sands of Time is kinda like a time machine: it allows the wielder to reverse time and in effect, he can rule the world.

Or something to that effect.

I've never really played the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time game, so I don't know how the game's storyline goes. But I've heard that the movie's plot was kinda changed a bit, names included. Can anyone confirm this?

The movie's set to be released by next summer, June 19, 2009.
