Hello and welcome to AlternateSam.com. I hope to be able to provide some entertainment if not for you, then at least for myself. This site is mainly for the discussion of modern Japanese visual arts anime and other random stuff. You might have seen me roaming around random blogs under the alias of ‘deadbeat’, which isn’t that surprising considering how much money ‘investment’ I have made on anime merchandise.
Reviews for both anime and figures might be released from time to time so please check back for more updates.
AlternateSam.com is run by a single person so please excuse that person for being too busy. He will be whipped when he can actually be found so don’t worry. Plans are now being drawn to tie him down to release more posts.
Some Anime series I recommend
• Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann (or TTGL henceforth)
• Last Exile
• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
• School Rumble
• Code Geass & Code Geass R2
• Macross Frontier
• Toradora!
• Lucky Star
• Claymore
• Kiddy Grade
• Spice and Wolf
• Cowboy Bebop
Any photo posted is an original if it comes with the alternatesam.com watermark unless stated otherwise. Feel free to download them but shame on you if you passed some lousy pictures as your own. If you want to post them elsewhere go ahead, but please upload it somewhere else instead of using my bandwidth. I do not really mind if you did not quote your source but it’s a bonus if you do.
I will also occasionally upload music directly related to the topics I’m writing about. Contact me if you have any specific music related uploads you want me to do although I do not promise I will be able to do it, especially if I do not have the song already. Links will generally be at the bottom of the post and the entire post will be categorized as music as well.
If there’s anything you wish to directly email me about, it’s at admin AT alternatesam DOT com. Alternatively, you can use the “Contact Me” form located above.

I’d choose Alter. It’s a little smaller (1/8 scale as compared to the 1/6 Kotobukiya) meaning it’s cheaper too. I don’t care much about the accessories, but that’s just me. Plus, the Alter pose is much more badass. Check out the ABS! ^^
Go for Kotobukiya if you like a “softer” or cuter Yoko, or can’t resist the accessories.
And I realize this post is kinda late. Haha. Gomen. Anyways, both are due out soon. Good luck! And sweet Yoko Nendo, BTW.
I hate you so much…all of the website I go to are sold out of these.
I don’t collect these figures but I want this one so bad. :B

Its pretty well made and I’m not surprised it sold out. Most people I know took it when it was out for pre-order as we knew getting it on retail will be quite impossible. Try searching at ebay, you’ll never know what you’ll find
All the best in your search!
If no one has taken the Kamina, I might be interested :>
i know i want her so bad she awesome
i looooooooooooooooooooooove it
*Chuckles* No need to hide who you are completely. If there is occasion in the normal course of conversation, you can allude to an anime or game reference (kind of like dangling a bait hook). If they don’t bite, then move on to another subject. *Shrugs* It’s obvious that blurting obsessively about anything another person isn’t interested in will weird him or her out. The key to any conversation is to leave out bait hooks of all sorts of possible interests the other person might have. If they bite on one of them, then give them a chance to express themselves and open up a little bit and respond accordingly. If NOTHING you bring up is catching, then it’s clear you have nothing in common at all… except maybe the weather. XD
