Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu #02 (Good Smile Company)

May 1, 2008

This next review will be “Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu #02” by Good Smile Company, and also the first figure review of the month ^^

petitharuhi2

This 2nd set is the follow up of the previous “Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu #01” release, also by Good Smile Company. Just like before, this box set contains 12 figures; 5 different character figures with 2 versions each, a Secret Figure, and a random extra figure. Each standing around 6-7cm. The only difference is that we have a different line up now. We are getting Ryoko and Kyon’s Sister this time, instead of Kyon and Tsuraya-san. Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki are still included in this set.

As for the Secret Figure, we are getting Mikuru in her Frog costume, which most of you might already know ^^;

So how about quality? Are there any improvement compared to the first one? Absolutely!! ^^ For those who owned the 1st set (including me :p), you might be complaining about lots of stuffs, which include defection, parts easily coming off, durability, etc. Rest assured!! All of those are history now!!^^

I’m quite impressed with all the improvements they have made with this set. All the parts and joints are now firmly fit and won’t come off easily. The figure also came out as a whole when you open the box now, unlike the 1st one which comes in pieces. Colour and paint job looks crisp now ^^ Durability wise, it looks much stronger now. You can really feel the weight ^^ As for details, I won’t say much, really ^^ It’s quite understandable, but for a 500 Yen figure, GSC really did wonderful on these ^^

Alright, on with the shots~

It’s a Trap!!

May 1, 2008

So I just watched this one clip episode of Japanese TV program called “Girl’s Paradise”. The purpose of the program…is to dress a male as a female ( > _ < );

Basically what they did is they chose selected High Schooler boys and dress them as a girl, and see which one is the prettiest and the cutest. This is the latest episode which was aired few days ago, a total of 6 participants. You can view them below. A word of warning…They are all boys!!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I know they are all guys…but the level is just too high!! The last one is just…I don’t know what to say…you just have to see it yourself!! ( > _ < )!!
