I was out today, with my friends in town and I came across some Bleach keyrings in Forbidden Planet. I thought they looked cool from the box, so I brought one. They were hidden in a packet and when I opened it, I had no idea who I'd get or how small it'd be. 'Twas tiny! I payed £4 for it too! (Or rather my dad did, but he doesn't know I brought it ) Still, it's alright. I was expecting a cooler character like Ichimaru or Byukuya, but I got Yoruichi. Still, it has a place on my keys now. Anyone else have any cool merchandise?

Ah, I love those little vending machine things they have in FP. In the megastore in London, I got a .hack gashapon (little japanese figurines that you assemble - they're really cute ^^) for £2. I have some FMA badges ^^ Oh and an FMA t-shirt and soon I will have the FMA manga artwork book. But that's all the anime/manga merchandise I have.
And Yoriuchi is cool! Cooler than Byakuya or Ichimaru, so don't complain.

Wha? No way! Ichcimaru and Byakuya rule! Oh, yes, I have an FMA shirt too (but you already know that. ). Wore it to school today since it was non-uniform and I was expecting some comments from chavs, but nothing happened, which was a pleasant surprise.

Erm... I have... well, I have some random anime shirt. I don't have any other anime merch though, sadly. >_< I've got a lot of videogame merch though... like 6-7 shirts... *Shrug* I need to get more. Oh... oh yeah, I forgot. I do have a Naruto Hitai-ate. I took the plate off the cloth though, I'm going to put it on something else, I'm not sure what though. Oh... and a couple of Naruto Patches... like... three, a leaf symbol, Sasuke, and Naruto. (I used to have a Naruto hoodie as well... but it shrunk in the wash, and now I need a new one. Erm... probably not Naruto this time though.)

Cool! I saw those in Forbidden Planet! I wanted to get one of either the leaf or sand plate ... but it was £16.99.

I have the FMA artbook for the manga, now. I ordered it off the internet a while ago. Hiromu Arakawa is such a good painter! And I also forgot this earlier but I have a Roy Mustang plastic thing that you put under your paper when you're drawing (I can't remember the japanese name for it).

Is it called an Artboard or something like that ... ?

That's not a japanese word! I think the word is shitajiki or something ...

No, no, I was on about the English name. You didn't post that either.

*looks in FMA artbook* Okay, according to my book, a shitajiki is a sheet of plastic that you slide under your paper to provide a solid surface to write on. I don't think there's a proper English word for it.

Righto, thanks, Shnophie! ^_^ Hah, in school last week, a girl called Amy had a Naruto headband, so she let me borrow it and I ran around with it onrandomly shouting names of Ninjutsu, getting some strange looks. Seriously, I really want one, but they're like £16! TT_TT

Mmmm, my only qualm with them is that they don't bend enough, so they stick out off your forehead, as well as have a pretty bad looking cloth, so when you wear it... they look kind of... eh. I want to try to bend mine a little more, so it fits more closely to my head.

Yeah, I noticed that. I didn't think the cloth was long enough either. I tried to wear it around my waist (LEE!), but the cloth didn't get all of the way around to tie it up.

Meh, literally everyone wears those at the geeky anime conventions and stuff. When we went to this manga workshop in Cambridge, there was a cosplay competition and the only person who put any effort into it was my friend Rosie. THe only other person who looked vaguely dressed-up was a girl wearing a Naruto headband.

I wanna be one of those people wearing a Naruto headband at a geeky anime convention! I'd actually wear it a lot of the time if I had one. Ooh, cool, who did Rosie go dressed as?
