Musashiya’s Itou Noemi Reservation Starts!!

May 16, 2008

noemi

This new 1/6 scale figure of “Itou Noemi” from With You series, will be available this coming August 2008 by Musashiya ^^ It’ll be up at a whoopin’ price of 16,800 Yen and Hobby Search is taking reservation for it as of today.

As for the price, it’s not really surprising since it’s made out Cold Cast material ^^; It’s a beautiful figure, but it’s too expensive for me ( > _ < );

As for the series, it looks like an old eroge series, since it’s copyrighted on the year 1998.

Moms Turns Into Schoolgirl

May 11, 2008

This is something for Mother’s Day~^^

From the same TV program who brought you the previous “Crossdressing Schoolboys”, now it’s their Mom’s turn to get the spotlight (Well, not really ^^; )

Anyway, this time, the theme is to turn your Mom to a student. Basically this is a constest to see which Mom will look like a schoolgirl the most, eventhough they already have children and is over 40 years old ^^ I have to tell you, some are just pure amazing ^^

There are 6 participants, and my favourite is the 2nd Mom. She’s pretty!! d( > _ < )b
