It’s a Trap!! Part Deux

May 6, 2008

A little bit different than the previous one this time ^^; Another interesting and funny show from Japan ^^

This time they bring 3 transexuals straight from Thailand (Blue), and 3 chosen Japanese actors/comedian (Red) will try and compete against them. There will be 3 rounds, 3 vs 3, and 7 People will judge who, out of the 2 from each round, is the cutest/prettiest.

Just for the info, those 3 guests from Thailand are the winner from some Beauty pageant. So basically they are what you call the best :p You can view the clip below:

Figma Suzumiya Haruhi School Uniform Ver. (Max Factory)

May 6, 2008

Here it is, the review for “Figma Suzumiya Haruhi School Uniform Ver.” by Max Factory, the last of my big haul of the week ^^

haruhi

Well, I don’t really have much to say on Haruhi, she’s just another amazing Figma release ^^ Compared to Yuki, there’s definitely an improvement, especially the skirt. Unlike Yuki, Haruhi’s skirt is much more flexible, which makes it easier to move her legs further ^^

Accessories wise, Haruhi still has the same format just like the others. In Haruhi’s case you get the trademark Megaphone, and additional “Kantoku” armband. The usual extra pair of hands and face expressions are still included ^^ Paint jobs and details are still amazing as ever, just what you expect from Max Factory.

Although Saber still gets my all-time favourite Figma for now ^^; Anyway, Haruhi is still an amazing Figma to get.

Anyway on with the shots~
