Topic: Your Urusei Yatsura Purchase/Fan Articles

[AtaruLum]

This is a interesting topic ^^. I'm interested in what people are getting about UY.

My UY Collection:

DVDs:



A french tv dvd box vol. 1, which includes episode 1 - 26.



A original japanese uy tv dvd, which includes episode 1 - 4 (no subs).



There are two "beautiful dreamer" dvds, left the us (buyed last year), right the french (buyed in this november). Personally i prefer the french dvd, because the videoformat is in 16:9 (used the japanese remastered version), the us only 4:3 and the french dvd have many extras (booklet, a card, Mamoru Oshi Reportage, ab japanese mythology documentation, a interview with Akemi Takada, and UY stickers). The french dvd has also a 5.1 french dub, but the 5.1 dub is distorted. I have a dvd copy of the original japanese dvd version and they include also a 5.1 japanese dub and this is really clearer and better (UY 2: Japanese DVD Review).

other uy dvds:
Urusei Yatsura DVD Box 2 French Episode 26 - 52.

The only stuff i have at the moment is
old UY comics

1/6 lum who is standing next to my painted devilman model(size comparison to a 23 inch model)

and lastly these 2 UY figures

I really want these figures but for 95s buck is it really worth it? http://cgi.ebay.com/URUSEI-YATSURA-97-sexy-Lum-5-Figures-set-rare-/230577789093?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35af81d8a5

I have nothing except episodes, OVAs, specials and movies that I was able to get from torrents and such. =(

[veehive]

Everything released in NorthAmerica on DVD, plus the 2008 RumicWorld OVA and the preview DVD of the same.

But, you know I like figures. Well. Yesterday at Ohayocon11 (Columbus Ohio), I was perusing the newly-expanded Dealer Room ... and found these


The Bome "bottle-top" Lum figures. These are the from the 2nd release for these figures (the hair color has a slight metallic shine and is more jewel-toned). Seeing them with my own eyes proved that they were of sufficient size and quality to claim their rightful place at the top of my harem figure collection. And the price was right ($35 each).



So Very Very Happy now.

[cata]

Both figures look very pretty. Great purchase, if you ask me. =)

[veehive]

Thank you!

(I needed that. I just checked eBay and these can be purchased for $20 each. Ouch! HOWEVER, if I had not actually seen them I would not have known just how good they are, so I would have continued to pass them by. And, I have the story of buying them at an anime con'.)

edit: Truly a match made in Heaven (or Tomobiki-cho): one of the bottle-top Lum figures sitting on one of my old autocross trophies ... one shaped like a banana crescent moon. Lum sat patiently while I fiddled with poses and camera angles and stuff.





Can't decide which picture I like better.

[theclaw]

Woah. I didn't have any idea the figures were good. I hadn't paid much attention to that particular kind.

[cata]

Wait, is Lum sitting on a banana? xD

[Cosmic King]

Neat Lum figures, Veehive, but I think it is quite TOO suggestive to let Lum ride Dave McKenney's "Banana"

Anyways, Veehive, I believe that the second picture is the best one

[Urusei0Yatsura]

Lum sitting on a crescent moon: what a dirty mind you have I never thought about that before!

[veehive]

Actually, when I saw the old trophy, the image that I had in mind was this:

... from the 1st OP. And, I might add, you'll note that Lum is NOT riding astride the banana but is seated "sidesaddle" as a proper lady (again, reflecting the pose from the 1st OP).

As for the banana -- ehmm --- yes, that was a bit of sassy humor on the part of all the maniacs in the Steel Cities' Region SCCA Autocross program back then. Good good times and good good people, I miss them. And, yes, that is my name on the trophy, 'though I prefer David these days. How do you do? 8D

[cata]

I also remembered that scene BUT I couldn't help but ask the banana question. xD

[veehive]

You little stinker you! XP XD

(btw Happy Setsubun minna!)

[AtaruLum]

I prefer the first picture @ veehive.


so, my Spain OVA Boxset:



Includes Japanese and Spain Dub. Subtitles: Spain and Portugese.

[cata]

Portuguese?!??!?! I fell in love!!! :D
