Christmas Gifts

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Were some of your presents Code Geass merchandise? Well some of mine were!

Here's one:





My friend made me a Cheese-kun plush! Crocheted too :3

If you're interested in the pattern, it is the first result on google when you type in 'Cheese-kun'.

I also received a Figma Lelouch! I'm sooo happy! But I've read everywhere that it is hard to exchange the hands. I nearly told myself to never take out the hand, but I wanted to exchange one when I took that first picture...

And guess what...

His hand broke ):

I spent nearly an hour picking out the ball joint with a safety pin, and I've lost one hand >_<

I know many of you guys also have figmas, and I wanted to know if you had any advice with exchanging the hands T_T... Or the head as a matter of fact, because I was terrible afraid of breaking the joint for the head when I wanted to try to put on the mask xD

Thanks in advance!

I got my figma Lulu this summer. One of the hands has become a little wonky, but not broken thankfully. Just try to pull from the base to get the hands out. The head is another matter entirely; I tried to get the ball out a few times and it's really hard, you need to use pliers. I don't even bother with it since I prefer the Zero mask on Arthur anyway. :D (At least changing faces is easy!) I hope you enjoy it!

Cheese-kun is adorable!

As for Christmas geass presents, my parents got me the Part II Limited Edition dvd. :D Wee!

What a cute Cheese-kun~~ X3

I got a Lelouch wallscroll...I was so happy, I was literally crying LOL.

I also got an iPod named Lelouch >3>;;;

Lelouch hasn't broken yet, but Suzaku did. Sucks even worse when the hand breaks off at the base of the shaft instead of at the end of the shaft. Anyways, best advice is to just be careful and hope the plastic holds up, haha.

The head is...finicky. Good thing I prefer Lelouch to Zero.

On the Figmas, just take your time. Pull firmly, but twist some. I haven't had any problems pulling out his hands and putting in new ones that way. You just kinda have to take your time and be persistant with it.

Oh, and the head--just don't do it. XD Put the mask on Arthur and be done with it. To be honest, it doesn't even look that good on Lelouch anyway, and the effort it takes to put it on is just.. Blegh. Changing faces is easy, though.

A-adorable Cheese-kun. ;3;

As for Christmas Geass presents I got~ The Voice I-Doll set with Suzaku, Lelouch, Gino, Rolo and Xing-ke, the Suzaku Prop Plus figure, aand MUTUALITY and Knight for Girls #5. x3 I'm running out of space for figures, though.. I have a little bit of space left on top of my computer, but that would mean moving my Suzaku and Lelouch Figmas back, and.. I don't want to! XD

I also got the Lelouch figma and this post has been incredibly helpful. I haven't tried to switch hands yet, but I'll make sure to take my time when I do.

Geass presents: Mutuality, Lelouch figma and Suzaku figma.

Wow, your figma's hand broke ? O___O
I also have a Lelouch figma. One of his hands is a little hard to change, but I push a little and it's done.

I have never put the mask on, the neck is hard to take off XD;; ! And I think that Lelouch is better without is mask :3

I got the figma and an artbook !

Oh, awesome. The Cheese-kun looks fabulous.
I also got the Lelouch Figma to X-mas + the CG R2 calendar.

Asjshua so sorry to hear your Figma's hand broke D:;; Heard of that before and I was so scared of that when I got mine, lol. Yeah, as everyone said, I push it a little, but not too hard, since they seemed very fragile to me when I got it D:;;
AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO TAKE OFF THAT NECK UNTIL TODAY. God. Good thing we can put the mask on Lelouch's hand or on Arthur or something.

Eeeeh. For my presentes... Yeah, related to Geass, only the Figma, orz :D;; I'd get Mutuality but it seemed too expensive too me for now... Dx; And shipping would make it even pricier, so... ;-;

I've only changed the head to helmet once... and that was a chore. My Lelouch's hands change without much effort, so i'm glad of that. ^^

Arthur gets to wear the helmet tho. Had to use need nosed pilers to get the head completely off... so not doing that again. >.>''''

Waah so cute >o< happy Holidays.

My Geass X-mas presents: Mutuality, CG illustr. relation, Geass symbols as keychains
But I WANT A LULU FIGMA!!!! *huweee*

Cool gifts. I wish I had a cheese-kun plushie, but I don't know how to crochet.

For Christmas, I got the PPP Suzaku with Arthur, the PPP C.C. with Cheese-kun, the Ougi and Villetta fortune figures, and a Lelouch keychain. Lelouch is going on my bag, but now I have to find shelf space for the rest of them.

I broke my Lulu's hand too.. :(

[identity profile] kamshaticum.livejournal.com 2008-12-27 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
aw, i know how sad that must be...i kinda broke Lulu's neck trying to get that damned helmet on him...*is in dire need of crazy glue* but he has Suzaku (in one piece) to console him :P

Your Cheese-kun is so adorable! My friend also made me one (he's huge tho) for my birthday.

I got all the R2 Ex-Portrait figures for Xmas, some manga volumes, a deck of CG playing cards, and I'm stil waiting on 3 posters (that I bought for myself)^^

I'm not much of a figure person, to be honest. But good luck with changing the hands and stuff. (That plushie is adorable. X3)

I got some extra money from my grandparents, so for the first time in forever I bought anime DVDs. I got Part 1 and I love it so much. :D

I didn't really get anything Geass-related, but I got a lot of giftcards to amazon so I'm planning on importing some (I would rather order from elsewhere, but it's the only site my parents trust to buy stuff from hahaha...) I'm thinking of getting a Lelouch figma and the new Complete Best CD coming out.

Oh, hey! Tell your friend that I used the pictures of your Cheese-kun plush as a reference to make my own for a friend XD I didn't crochet though, I just used some leftover fabric I had and then kinda winged it from there...it came out really good though! :D

[identity profile] rose-of-sadness.livejournal.com 2008-12-30 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, Cheese-kun~

I got a figma Lelouch too! I love him so much.
D:!! Mine broke too! LOL Thankfully it's only one hand and the rest I haven't broken *yet*
I still can't wait to be able to afford a figma Suzaku with my own money. :D

friend bought some merhcandise from me and secretly bought the special C.C ring for me. I really liked it and thought that she was ordering it for a customer and "lo and behold" it was for me. I was ecstatic!!! If anyone is looking for Code Geass items as a special gift or for yourself just message me. Or add me as a friend...I get items all the time from Japan
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

p.s: party safely and not too hard lol

well it depends on what you are looking for and for whom.
If it is for a friend there are some really nice pillows with suzaku, c.c, or Lelouch. There are some really nice wall scrolls, pencil bags, cups, and well alot.
I'll add you as a friend and just message me how much you are planning to spend and what you may be looking for
