My Top Ten Fav Anime (Series) Theme Song #1: "Duvet" by Bôa (Serial Experiments Lain OP)
WHAT-IS: I list my Top Ten Fav Anime Theme Songs from Series (MOVIES will be another list), with the entire list since posted on PopcornX. THIS TOYSREVIL-Edition however, includes TOYS!
MY TOP TEN FAV ANIME THEME SONG #1: "Duvet" was used as the opening theme for SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN, and was written and performed in English by the British rock band Bôa (NOT the Korean / K-Pop star "BOA" :p), and remains an ever favorite from "the good old days" of anime.
I am filled somewhat with more than a tinge of "regret" for kitbashing my action figure of the LAIN figure I managed to score years ago, over a decade back in the early 2000s actually, where there were 2 versions to be had: Lain in Schoolgirl Uniform, and Lain in her bear pajamas. These articulated dolls from Toynami stood 8 inches tall, and fit decently with my 12" figures, literally as a teenager - 1/12th scale versus 1/6 scale tho (Product & Display images and info via icv2.com + rightstuf.com) … although one sole thing that irk me somethin'fierce, was that the facial colors were totally different from the neck down and body color tone LOL
Nevertheless, I had tons of fun posing her with my "anime" face 1/6-scale "family" :)
