It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]
![[Alter] – Melty Review](https://howagirlfigures.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_9095.jpg)
Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
So i’m going to take you into the one place sadly most of you boys have never been, a girls room… Specifically mine! I’ve seen some people post about their room, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do the same.
Come on in! make yourself at home!
To the right of my door, are a few posters, and one actual painting/poster. On the top is a Chobits poster i got long ago when i first started getting into anime. Under it is this poster of some artwork I’ve had for about forever. I don’t know what it’s from or who is the artist, i just know that it’s been in my room since i was a little girl and i love it. I used to have it by my bed and i would stare at it for hours just admiring the art when i was younger.
The licence plate is a gift from my dad from his first trip back to France after 20+ years a few years ago. Nanny is my nickname among my family, my family always called me Frannie when i was a baby since my name is Frances. One day when i was three years old i walked up to my dad when he had called me Frannie and said “No Daddy! It’s not Frannie! It’s Nanny!” It stuck and I’ve been Nanny ever since. There is also a Sailor Moon Sailor Stars poster, Seiya FTW! Then my AX Badges from AX ’06 and ’07.
Behind my door on the wall i’ve got some aria posters i had printed out for myself! Don’t forget i make and sell these! Go here for more information!
Over the aria posters is one Ai Yori Aoshi Poster i’ve also had for a while. I always liked the Art for the anime over the manga for this series.
I’ve got a few Wall Scrolls on this side of my room. The Giant Haruhi one i got off of eBay, the Chobits one was a gift from my older brother when he started collecting wall scrolls and i was jealous, he does have some awesome Wall Scrolls. An echii Full Metal Panic Wall scroll, while my mom is pretty cool about me having figures and such she didn’t really approve of this wall scroll.
I found this amazing UFO Princess Valkyurie Poster ax AX ’07 for $1.00! Can you beleave it! Last one too, i wonder why this series wasn’t really popular, come on loli’s, magical transformations, aliens. Whats not to love! I’ve had that koala bear Lamp as well since i was a little girl, I’m also a big disney fan, love Monsters Inc, and The Little Mermaid. See my litter collection of Boo dolls, plus more Aria Posters.
This is where i sleep. Can you tell i like The Little Mermaid? My brother’s girlfriend gave me that awesome pillow with kero-chan sleeping.
Aria, Nana and Gurren Lagann Posters over my bed. I swear they aren’t for fapping purposes! Love me some Nobu and Kamina…
Two more Wall Scroll, Death Note and Card Captor Sakura. I’m thinking of getting rid of the Death Note one but then i like the art. I may be “over” Death Note but i can still say i honestly liked the manga art.
A small, small portion of my plushie/stuffed animal collection. I’ve got boxes and boxes of them from when i was little in my closet and i switch them around from time to time.
This is Part of of my figure Display, i still need plenty more Shelves but i’m waiting till hopefully next paycheck to get them. I don’t like how cluttered they look right now so once i get more shelves i’ll space them out a bit better.
I’ve got so many figures I don’t have enough space on the shelves i got for these figures. This is some of my manga collection, i used to buy like 10-15 a month but now it’s rare since i’m broke, plus figures take up the majority of my time and money.
More figures, more manga. Also if you can see on the second shelve, the green CD, thats the Indigo cd i got signed at the geneon booth at AX ’06. I’ve also got a set of clow cards, now i just need some magical powers, and a real Kero-chan.
My other Card Captor Sakura wall scroll, plus my smaller shelf reserved for my newest/favorite figures at that time being.
Makoto, Fauna and Alicia are my newest figures and Haruhi and Mahoro are some of my favorites. But all of my figures are my favorites ^_~.
This is where all the magic happens, I spend the majority of my time sitting here, talking to people online, watching anime, blogging, reading blogs. I’m addicited!
To the right of my desk are some posters, and two windows. The small Card Captor Sakura Wall Scroll to the left is only there temporary till i find a better spot for her. You can see the Kamina art i got at AX last year from the Aritist alley, a small Card Captor Sakura poster i printed out for myself, the tickets under the window some of the AX Concerts last year, S.K.I.N., Anna Tsuchiya, Oreskaband, and Sos Brigade. There are also two more tickets one for the Jersey boys and the other for Mamma Mia. <3 Frankie Valley and the 4 Seasons and I double <3 Abba! (The abba love should be obvious, Ie. Dancing Queen) I also made the Haruhi Window shade myself, i still need one for the other window but not sure of what to make it from.
Better View of some of the posters on this side of my wall. The Anna Tsuhciya poster i got at her concert last year at AX. The Dragon something poster was free, I have no clue what it’s from but i just liked the art. Also is my Maison Ikkoku poster, I was so lucky i found this! It was burried at this one anime stores poster section, in the clearance. Some people have no appreciation for good anime…
More posters here as well, the big Haruhi poster i got at the DVD launch in Anime Jungle in Little Tokyo. It’s signed by the ASOS Brigade and i’ve got another if someone wants to buy it! I also got them both laminated so they are in awesome condition! More Little Mermaid Art on my wall, a Bleach poster i got from AX ’06. My varsity letter for Dance back in High School, and two more self made posters one from Nanatsuiro Drops and the other from Gurren Lagann.
A messier section of my room, on the bottom left are my school books that i’m going to be selling in order for moneys to buy more figures. Found that Card Captor Sakura poster at the same anime store i found the Maison Ikkoku poster. It’s a poster promoting the release of the Card Captor Sakura Game Boy Color game. More Manga, another self make Gurren Lagann Poster, some flamenco dancer figures my mom got me from spain, and my crazy damn fish.
This is my fish, she’s damn crazy. Thats why her named is “Crazy Damn Fish.” I’m really creative! (please note the sarcasm)
My lamp, i’ve decorated it as you can see and the light bulbs all got too hot and burned through the shades they had covering them. I got the Minnie Mouse from Disneyland at the store at the exit of It’s a Small World. The Sumomo Plushie was a gift from my brother again, he was so excited when i started getting into anime since he finally had someone to talk to about his new passion.
My closet, it’s a little bare and needs a few more posters but i’m working on it. The Kamina poster looks like crap since it was a customer poster that came out badly, so i just kept it myself. Waste not want not. Same with the Code Geass poster but i would feel like a waster if i threw it away.
The little Mermaid posters came with the DVD release a few years ago when you pre-ordered it at the disney store. I got them laminated since they were so awesome! In the middle is a small bulliten board thingy, Top left is a photo of my mom when she was younger, the black and white photo is me with an ex-friend of mine, hopefully one day we’ll reconcile. Beside that is me in the fifth grade with my dog jady the day we got her, she was soooooo small! and a coupon for something at Bath and Body works, i’m addicted to that place.
I’ve even got posters behind my monitor, but then they were more visible when i had a laptop. I’m just too lazy to go and move them. Also I herd yu liek mudkips… (no i’m not a /b/tard)
I’m planning on getting more shelves for figures and they are going here on this bare spot on the wall.
And this Card Captor Sakura wall scroll is being moved so can add more shelves here as well.
SO that is my room in a nutshell, I always find it interesting when people talk about peoples parents freaking out about owning figures. My parents like to show my room off to anyone is coming by for a visit. They like to do Tours of the house and show off all of our rooms. They love showing mine off as the pepto bismol room as my dad calls it since my room is also painted pink, hopefully you can see it from the photos. People reactions are always different, from people noticing mostly the little mermaid stuff, to people asking me why i have naked girls on my wall. I simply reply “oh yeah, i’m into anime a little bit.”
I have no shame in my collection and i’m always willing to explain to people why i love anime so much and why i go so far in my collecting of anime and anime related merchandise. I think mostly my parents view this as a phase, like the time my sophmore year of high school that i was absolutely obsessed with Orlando Bloom, I’ve even got a card board cut out of him. He’s now under my bed hidden away from view.
Edit: Special Thanks to DannyChoo.com for linking to me and giving me the best day ever in my stats!
three things…
1) i herd you liek mudkipz
2) i like the pepto bismol chewables
3) i also have an orlando bloom cutout.
Ryos last blog post..Itazura na Kiss – 07
…can women hotglue?
@Ryo:
i’d be scared if you had orlando bloom as well…
@anoymous:
we can, but i don’t. the only thing i have against hot gluing isn’t the act itself, but the cleanup. I have no clue how you’d get that out of each teeny little crevice! Plus the smell would stay! I love my figures too much do anything perverted to them.
The number of posters and wallscrolls you have makes me wonder if your wallspace is infinite.
@Double:
nah i just have a long room.
Oh my goodness it’s otakuish, and yet so clean and orderly… Impressive.
Getting way with your ecchi FMP wallscroll?! Most impressive.
I wish my parents didn’t care about me placing poster all over the place, my dad says it would ruin his craftsmanship after remodeling every room by himself over the years. Hehe some phase you are going through.
wow , nice big(long) room you have there. and wow at the amount of posters you have there..
That is an impressive amount of wall decoration. I think I have 2 posters in my room at home, total. Just bare, white walls. T-T
Caitlins last blog post..Special A – Episode 6
No way you’re a girl with a room like that!!
But I must say that is a lot of posters hanging up around your room. Heck you have more ARIA posters hanging up than I do. But I like how you still have room for more posters.
Aduns last blog post..Itazura na Kiss – 06
I see lotsa cool figures especially that Yoko Ritona & Mahoro w/ bike figure…
The funny part was when my dad entered my room and saw my collection of bishoujo figures, he thought that I was collecting some barbie dolls…ahahha… I don’t consider this toy collecting a phase, really.. I could still see me collecting for the years to come…

andras last blog post..GENDERBENDERED SOS Dan!
Hi do you still have the SOS poster? I’m kinda interested and how much will you sell it for? I don’t live in america tho… :c
(Name change from Optical to Optic)
*Completely speechless at first sight* 0_0
Wow!!! Absolutely… just WOW!!!
I knew you had a lot of figures, I knew you had a lot of mangas and I somewhat had an idea where you have some posters but to this extent is just incredible. I’m amazed to see the variety of items in your room and how much your family and friends support your passion in your hobby. Sadly to say my family is the complete opposite. They reckon I’m wasting my money and they think my room is a ‘poster’ mess. Considering I’m the only person in my family tree who is in love with anime, I can see why but I don’t regret it.
I have no shame in my hobby and I’ve worked very hard and put a lot of effort into it.
Those aria printout looks exceptional good. I might take you up on a few request I have in mind. Btw, do you laminate posters as well?
that’s an awesome room full of otaku goodness! ^^;
i wish i have an otaku girlfriend. orz
gordons last blog post..MG Sword and Launcher Strike Gundam
Very nice room you have there. Soooo Otakuish. I like it ^^
MUST STEAL ARIA STUFF
Koji Oes last blog post..Code Geass R2 07 – An embarrassing but needed episode
Can’t remember the last time I had posters in the walls of my room 😛 . My room is only used for sleeping (and something else) and where I store my Gunpla and figure boxes. My collection is in a detolf in my personalized home office where I spend most of my time studying, working, talking, gaming, etc…
Here’s a couple pictures (the collection is bigger now):

omgz, the ultimate otaku room!! hordes of stuff you got there, really impressive :3
usagijens last blog post..Koko wa Greenwood Goes Live Action Desu~
@Crusader:
well both my parents dealt with this with my brother, they kinda went through the whole process of freaking out and not knowing how to accept his otkuasim, so when i ended up the same but worse they already knew how to handle it.
@pp:
yeah it’s the second longest room in the house, next to my mom’s room. I want hers so badly, it’s three bedrooms in one!
@caitlin:
*wink, wink* i sell posters if you want to add more to your walls!
@Cam Cam:
i cropped an image from http://moe.imouto.org/
@aki:
yes i do, it’s going for $30 atm and if you want more info e-mail me Dancingqueen “at” Howagirlfigures.com
@Optical:
no i don’t laminate then, but they are printed on high gloss paper so you practically don’t have to get them laminated
@Koji Oe:
why not buy some aria stuff instead ^_~
@Belela-san:
Thats how my brother had it when he lived here, he spent about 20hours in the office and 4 in his room sleeping. so he kept his figures and gunpla in his office instead and only used his room for sleeping.
Firstly, I once called you “sir.” That should’ve been “m’aam.” I apologize for any trauma that may caused.
Secondly, your room puts some guys’ room to shame, which is awesome. And that fact that you have a Maison Ikkoku poster elevates you to the level of “elite awesome.”
Big rooms are a luxury here where I am, DQ. You at least have space to put everything in your room…though I hardly have close to a fraction of what you have in terms of stuff lol. Nice room indeed.
Wow, impressive collection!
I’m in the process of selling my house, so half my figures are opened while the other half are still boxed in the closet, lol. ^_^; And nowhere near the number of posters and manga. But I recognize a bunch of figures I also own: Saber in brown dress, Saber in blue dress, Akari from To Heart, Haruhi in school uniform, Makoto from Kanon, even Himekuri Girl in black, haha.
Here’s my home office from last year but still looks pretty similar now.

And if you like, here’s my collection of photoshoots so far. Enjoy! http://www.xjaymanx.com/toybox/anime/anime-figure-list
Good use of space and very sneaky way of trying to sell stuff in between all those words. I will check those out.

very cute room 😀 a lot more posters and figurines in your room than mine (i put almost all of my figurines in the living room 😀 )
don’t you worry about dust on your figurines?
and are you sure that fish isn’t dead?? :p
ron~s last blog post..Nendoroid Konata and Kagami ~ GSC
@ron~:
i dust my figures once a week, and if they are super dirty i clean them with light soap and water and then use my dad’s air compressor to dry them, and crazy damn fish is alive and kicking
I approve of your Sakura-centric room. Godspeed, fellow magical girl fan.
Links last blog post..Full-Powered Maidens
Impressive room that you got that there. Definitely not a typical girls’ room. I’ve always been tempted to watch Aria the series, maybe ill get to it one day. And that ASOS signed poster i thought at first was the SOS signed poster that only a few lucky ppl were able to get at AX 07 as it looks exactly the same. I would’ve had to rob you or something for that poster >_>
Till next time
now that’s really utilizing space. the only figures i have out of the box and on display now is kotona elegance and hikaru, and i can’t even find space to put them. i would actually love to install some glass racks, but permanent fixtures just don’t sit well with my mum. anyway, nice lot of posters, i only have one up and that’s a tsuruya poster.

Where did you get those gurren lagann figurines? I’ve never seen a Yoko Like yours before
@Awesome-o: I’ve obnly got the Konami Yoko Ritona that you can see more of here http://howagirlfigures.com/2008/05/20/konami-18-yoko-ritona/
omg, nice room, nice figure, nice POSTER(especially the CCS and Aria)…
thx for showing your room :).
You girl is sure a GAY !!!!!!!!! Only women pictures? Are you disturbed ? Girls are supposed to like boys, not girls !!!! yo wake up !!
‘Curious, by how much did your stats jump thanks to Dannychoo?
@Zavriel:
i got it the first time you posted no need to post it twice… I don’t’ care what you think, and if you didn’t notice i do have some posters with men on them. Having posters of females has nothing to do with anything. I like the characters and i like the art thats it. Plus while i’m not lesbian and do have a boyfriend so i DO like boys, why does it matter if someone is gay or not. Not all girls love boys, not all boys love girls, It’s the 21st century.
@hemineko:
omg they jumped from 1,000 unique views a day to close to 4,000 a day
Just ignore the trolls. There’s no need to feed them.
desudesus last blog post..Kotobukiya’s Neige Blanc final prototype
very cool! thanks for sharing.
OMG I HATE YOU! But at the same time I LOVE YOU!!!! Gawd your room is awesome. I wish I had that many wallscrolls and posters. And figures!!! You have the Grimrock Eva girls too! And Sumomo Akihime! And the adourable Asuka Langley in a one piece swimsuit, the sega claw figure. I love her. Got her last expo. I want all of your figures… all of them…. :cries: So jealous… lol your sooooo lucky to have that many!!!! I must get a Haruhi wall scroll, I do love Haruhi so.
Your room is so cool. Unfortunately because my mom abhors people taping stuff on the wall and my room is an absolute mess.. I miss college dorms.. my collection doesn’t seem to be as cool..
animemizs last blog post..Mirai Koshi Meguru
*Jealous* Your room is absolutely amazing. I want the Yoko figure the most! <3
:cries some more after seeing your room for a second time:
my god this is like my favorite post ever.
i actually purchased glass shelves because of another post you made.
the picture was like of your computer or something and like above it was this like
BEAUTIFUL GLASS SHELF WITH 420857245 FIGURES.
and i was like omg hell yes im going to go buy some shelves now.
AND SO I DID 😀
Nice posters! What do you use to stick ’em to the walls? Tape? I have a couple posters that I haven’t put up yet cuz I don’t know what to put them up with, and I don’t want to pay to get them framed T^T
