Milla Jovovich is a card?


So I was at work today, TOALLY DOING MY JOB, when I was scrolling through my Cardfight Vanguard app and noticed a card of Milla Jovovich. I couldn't find a good image of it online to show here but here's a link to the card's info page (in Japanese though) Here

The card is from the Etranger clan, which is made for promotional cards in Japan, and thus isn't really usable in games, only for the pretty folders (FYI, this is the one card clan I don't collect, which is why I always mention the "English language game"). Milla is the only card that is based on a Western actor, with most others being Japanese stars like Daigo, or characters like Spider-Man.

The reason for this card is most likely as a reference to an advert Milla starred in, where she was playing the game against a Japanese star (sorry, no idea who he is...kinda hot though :D) He plays a Gear Chronicle deck, and she appears to play a Kagero one, though I can't see her cards too clearly. The advert and behind the scenes are shown in the video below...
So yeah, that's an interesting little story, all from me TOTALLY doing my job this morning...

Anyway, see you guys later when I get more cards (likely not many until after my convention trip next month though)

Start of July Update!


Got a few new cards in the mail today, including another copy of the Genesis trial deck, I'm planning to make a Genesis deck at long last to complete my trinity of non-Paladin United Sanctuary decks.

On top of that I ordered a booster box of Clan Booster 3, which gave meal the remaining commons and most of the rares in playsets. I did manage to get the GR Celebrate Voice Lauris, the RR Hand in Hand Leona and a RRR Frontier Star Coral (giving me my second one, thus making it useable)

Lastly, I ordered a bunch of singles from CardfightSingles which gave me a bunch of older cards I needed for the collection, and to complete a couple of playsets, including the amazing Crested and Stardrive dragons...THE STRONGEST CARDS OF THEM ALL!!

All in all, my total "Have None" list is now at 621...not a bad haul for one shipment huh? :)

(Course that number will go higher when the new Bermuda Triangle cards, and the BT11 and Nubatama deck come out....
