This one is actually pretty old. Saw this on Youtube the other day and was amazed with what these kids can do. This “Kids Band” consist of four kids with the eldest 10 years old, and 5 years old the youngest. Ironically, the youngest one is the drummer :p, and he can really kick some butt~XD Watch him do some solo play~XD The band called is “Ruri-Chan’s Band”. You can view the video below:
All I can say is…Superb!! ( ^ o ^ )/
Finals ended and I have lots of freetime, so decided to continue on the “Mirai Art” I did the other day ^^
Well, it’s not completed yet, around 50-60% done. I added the base colours and managed to finish touching up her face and eyes, left with the tones and highlights for the uniforms, and the rest.
Right now I’m in the middle of doing her hair ^^; I think so far it looks fine to me. I’ll probably going to redo the lineart for her hair, since it doesn’t really looks like it “flow” naturally ^^;
Here it is, the review of “KOS-MOS Ver.4” by Alter, which arrived yesterday ^^
This KOS-MOS figure is probably the hardest one to get currently. The demand for it is quite high. The moment you see it available somewhere…boom, it’s gone in matter of seconds ^^; I spotted this last week on Hobby Search, and it was the last of the stock. This time I managed to get it ( > _ < );
Anyway, this figure definitely the coolest KOS-MOS figure out there. It’s based on KOS-MOS Ver.4 from the game “Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra”. Trailer of the game below:
The details is just…wow, never seen one like this before. The hair is crystal blue clear and the gold coating is just great. The packaging box also has one of the coolest design. Just a warning, you need to be careful when taking the figure out of the box, especially the “Gatling Gun”. The weapon already fixed to the hand, but it’s quite fragile and wobbles around. So just keep an eye on that, if you ever bought one ^^;
No other extra accessories given, just a Stand.

This a must get indeed, no question asked d( > _ < )b

Look at her!! She’ll cry if you don’t get her~ XD ( = ‘ _ ‘ = )>
Arrived back at my place from my Malaysia trip, saw a package waiting for me at the front door ^^ Opened the package and it was “KOS-MOS Ver.4” by Alter that arrived ^^
Reviews will be done probably later tomorrow evening. For now, I just need a good night sleep, very tired ( = _ = )”zzZ
Adeau~ ( ^ _ ^ )/
Just came back from Malaysia so a little bit late on the news ^^;
Both “Figma Kyon” and “Figma Takamachi Nanoha – Barrier Jacket Ver.” that are planned for May release by Max Factory, are now ready for pre-orders ^^ Hobby Search have opened the reservation for them as of today ( ^ _ ^ )/
I’m so getting both of them~XD
Related to Nanoha series, Hobby Search have also opened the reservation for both Alter‘s “Vita 1/8 Scale” and “Vita Unison Ver. 1/8 Scale” ( ^ _ ^ )/
Here it is as promised, the review for “Donne “Miss Nobody” Anonime“ from Alter ^^
Donne Anonime a.k.a Miss Nobody is one of the three main heroine from the eroge game “Tre Donne Crudeli – Satsuriku no Django” by Nitro+. The others are Franco Il Nero a.k.a Black Franco and Lily Salvatana. Both will also get the Alter treatment with Franco on 28th March 2008 and Lily sometimes in July 2008. You can view the OP of the game below:
Official Site Here
There are actually 2 different version of releases for Donne, Normal and limited version. Mine is normal version of course :p The limited version have slightly different paint colour and weapons. Limited gets the Shotgun and Normal gets the Multi-Barrel Revolver ^^ You can view the Limited version at Foo-Bar-Baz
Anyway, this figure is awesome, just what you expect from Alter. They really did a good job potraying the character. The game has great character design and this figure definitely has it all.
Although there is something special about the figure, which I think is the main highlight of it. They actually used a different material to create her “Yokopai” :p It’s a kind of soft rubber material, which you can squished around, and to give you that kind of “weird” sensation XD This is actually the first time I’ve seen a figure with that kind of feature, so I’ll give it a big plus on that ( ^ o ^ )/
On with the shots~

An excellent figure ^^ My Franco “Black” Il Nero should arrived by next week ( ^ _ ^ )/
Tokyo Anime Fair 2008 is a 3-day event that just commenced today and throughout the weekend. Our friend Danny just came back from his trip, and presented us with a nice coverage of the event. You can view the rest of the report at his Site ^^
Lots of nice goodies, especially the newly announced “Figma Hatsune Miku” (Above) ( ^ _ ^ )/
My 100th Post!! \( ^ o ^ )/
Anyway :p, this beautiful figure of “Donne Anonime (Miss Nobody)” by Alter just arrived at my place yesterday afternoon ^^
Reviews will be posted later this evening~ Look forward to it ( ^ _ ^ )/
I’ve seen lots of “Air Band”, and this is probably one of the funniest I’ve seen ^^ This time it features one of my favourite song by Queen, “Don’t Stop Me Now”.
The video is done by a group of high school baseball club members, consisting of 4 people ^^; I’ll tell you these guys are geniuses~ XD The video was shown in a Japanese TV program.
Anyway, you can enjoy the video below:
Maybe I can gather my friends to do this~ XD
Just a reminder that the second season of Code Geass will starts airing on April 6th, 2008 ^^ You can view the new CM below. Opening theme by Orange Range.
Can’t wait for it ( ^ _ ^ )/
Alright~ Next Figma line up from Max Factory after Figma Haruhi and Figma Saber would be these 2 entries from Wonder Festival 2008, “Figma Kyon” and “Figma Takamachi Nanoha” ^^ Both Figmas are planned for May 2008 release, with 2,500 Yen price tag for Kyon and 2,800 Yen for Nanoha.
Figma Kyon
“Yare yare…”
Figma Takamachi Nanoha
“Divine Buster!!”
I’m so getting these 2~ XD
Hmmm looks like there will be atleast 2 Figmas releases every month ^^; My guess for next line up would be Mikuru and Fate ( + _ + )/
So, what happened when the cast of “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu” switched gender with each other (The male cast as female, and vice versa)? You’ll get yourself a new series called “Kyon no Yutsuu”!! ^^
Anyway, just saw this video on Haruhi dance this morning on Youtube, and it’s not your typical dance video ^^ You’ll just have to see it yourself ^^ Looks like it’s the same maker as the “Lucky Haruhi” video, and of course, it’s still incomplete ^^;
Oh, that’s Kyon and Koizumi btw ( ^ _ ^ );

Alright~ Next review is this lovely “Mabinogi Succubus 1/8 Scale” by Good Smile Company, which arrived few days ago together with my “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01” ^^
This figure was released on 18th March, 2008, few days after “PuchiLS”, and I have to say, it looks gorgeous ^^ The charm points are the pose and the legs…and it’s really well done. The body curve also looks great. No wonder she’s called “Succubus” :p The quality of the paint job and details were great, especially the rose pattern on the skirt and the chest are and the arms areas were made shiny. The skirt was made transparent also ^^;
Anyway, the figure also comes with an extra “damaged” skirt, which you can switch around.
As for the stand, I was hoping they would put some patterns or pictures on it, because it looks a bit dull and plain =/…but overall, this is one sexy figure ( ^ _ ^ )/
Usual shots~
With the “damaged” skirt~
Without the skirt~
Pantsu ^^;~

Here it is, as promised, reviews on “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01” by Good Smile Company, which arrived yesterday ^^
Only one word can describe this review…Super Ultra Mega Cute!!! (Ok, that’s more than one word~XD ) One thing that I can notice is that, Good Smile Company really improved a lot in creating this set. This set is WAY better than the previous Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu #01 release. One is the paint job, and the other is the joints, which I think was one of the major problem with the Nendoroid-Petit release. Now the joints can stick firmly, without having the problem of coming off easily!! ^^
Anyway, just like the previous release, this set comes with 12 figures, consisting of 5 different characters with 2 versions of each, 1 Secret figure, and 1 extra random figure. The secret figure is none other than Shiraishi Minoru!!! (Yay~^^) and for my random figure, I got myself another Kagami ^^ Each figure stands 5-6 cm high and cost 500 Yen, if you buy them separately.
The only problem I had with this set is probably the stand. Some of the stands are rather small, which makes some of the figure a little bit diffficult to stand straight. Overall, this is one cute set XD~
On with the shots~

A must get for Lucky Star fans ( ^ _ ^ )/
Just arrived in the afternoon today, “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01” by Good Smile Company, which was released few days ago on March 15th, 2008 ^^
Reviews will be posted tomorrow. Look forward to it ( ^ _ ^ )/
Here it is, the 2nd part of the video, which conclude the Good Smile Company tour ^^ You can view the rest of the reports by Danny at Dannychoo.com ^^
Did some quick inking using Paint Tool Sai ^^
Totally recommend Paint Tool Sai and you can download it for free on the internet. Just search Google for it and you should find it ^^ It’s a Japanese program, but someone already translate the program to English for easy use ^^
A video on what the program can do:
I have both Illustrator and Photoshop, and I have to say this program is like a 2 in 1 ^^
Colouring probably will be doing it next week, after I finished with my final projects XD~
So, I saw Danny’s Post saying that he’s looking for a new pose for “Mirai-Chan”. If you didn’t know yet, “Mirai Suenaga” is Dannychoo.com‘s main Mascot Girl, and you can see her shown all over the site ^^
Had some free time, so I’ve decided to try and do a quick sketch of Mirai, using an image from To Love Ru’s Lala as reference, since Danny have some interest on the pose ^^;
Took around 30 minutes, and this is what I came with:
I don’t usually leave all my drawn stuffs incomplete, so I’ll probably will do the inking and colouring later on ^^;
