Mermaid Princess by Mizuno Junko- in color! I liked this one, the author does some stuff story and dialouge wise that annoys me but the story's cute and wholesome in a demented 'not for kiddies' sort of way
Misc.
-
Grimrock Rei and Asuka figures- cost me $30 but they were
so worth it, the detail and quality of these figures is incredible. They put my Koji and Musa figures to so much shame I can't even stand them next to the Grimrock figures.

Wicked: The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Book) by Gregory Maguire -
Sooo overshadows all that other stuff I listed. It rocks my socks, the Casbah, and the shutters on my windows. It's not some cheap page turner, it's not that you can't wait to see what happens next, you just want to see where the characters are going and (perhaps even more so) spend time with them. It's actually an enjoyable book to read. Maguire's prose is enchanting. It new and fresh but has this air of qaintness about it. ::hugs book::
-
Wicked Original Cast Soundscore (CD)- Yeah! ^_^ They made a musical out of Wicked (which seems wicked disappointing from what I've read of it, I mean, the book's epic, but I bought the CD anyway). Wicked the musical is playing on Broadway ^_^ yay!
-
Wizard of Oz (DVD)- although after reading Wicked (I still have 100 pages to go) this movie will never be the same to me again. I can't bring myself to watch the scene where Dorothy drenches the Witch, I keep crying out 'Elphaba!'
-
Return to Oz (DVD)- Very very good movie (well, for a kids movie), based on the Oz books and not the 1949 movie though. I love Return to Oz's version of Oz. It's all dark and a bit more real. You know how creepy the claymation special effects were in the 80s? Return to Oz watched a bit like a kids horror movie. It's creepy.
And as soon as I can find the right copy I'm going to get the book Wizard of Oz as well, it differs greatly from the 1949 movie. Although, oddly enough, Maguire seems to have based Wicked more on the movie than on the book.
