Beware Of Fake Figurines!!

July 30, 2008

That’s what Good Smile Company trying to tell us. Looks like the trend of fake figurines is starting to get out of hands that GSC has to resort to this.

fakes

Good Smile Company just updated their “Imitation” info with a new line up figurines. This time it’s “Clayroid puchi Lucky Star Season 01”. The above image are Fakes. Other info includes bad paint jobs, shiny and oily-look surface, and different base stand. You can view more info on the fake items here. The one in RED is Authentics, and BLUE is fakes.

fake

Other discovered GSC fakes product include Nendoroid L, Nendoroid Asahina Mikuru, and Max Factory‘s Saber/Zero. You can view them here.

I think this is a really important matter to anyone who is also a figure collectors like myself. I’ve never gotten any fakes before, but this info does give me more insight on what’s happening out there. I know some people who already got tricked before. So please be careful when you are trying to purchase figurines from an unknown sources, especially Ebay and Yahoo! Auction.

More research on the stuffs you want to get is one thing you could do. Be smart peeps!! ( ^ _ ^ )/

Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 02 (Good Smile Company)

July 29, 2008

As promised, here is the next review. This time it’s “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 02” by Good Smile Company ^^

puchiLS2

This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but I had some slow connection problem which prevented me from uploading the images ^^;

Anyway back to topic~ As the name implies, this is the 2nd set of the Lucky Star Clayroid series. Just like previous releases, the set contained a total of 12 figures. There are 5 different characters with each getting 2 different versions, a Secret figure, and an extra random figure. This time the secret figure is none other than Saber Konata ^^ As for the characters line up, we’re getting a whole new line up, except Konata, which is still included in this set. Each figure is standing at 6-7 cm in height.

I’m quite pleased with the quality. Just like the 1st set, the paint jobs were great. The joints are firmly fit together, which I think is the most important aspect of the series. You don’t want your figure to fell all over the place right? ^^; Another excellent set I have to say.

On with the shots~!!

Another Blood 1/8 Scale (Max Factory)

July 27, 2008

Alright~ Next review is this lovely figure of “Another Blood 1/8 Scale” by Max Factory ^^

blood

A little bit of info on the character~

Another Blood is a character from the series Demonbane by Nitro+, although she was only appeared in the game “Kishinhisho Demonbane” and was never featured in the anime TV series. It’s understandable since the TV series was based on the first game “Kishinhoukou Demonbane” and Kishinhisho is the sequel to the first game. You can view the game OP below:

Opening song is “Rise on Green Wings” by Itou Kanako. She also sings the ending song of the anime TV series.

Anyway back on topic~ The figure itself was released earlier few weeks ago on July 14th,2008. She was sculpted based on the following illustration:

blood

Image courtesy of Mikatan. All Demonbane characters are illustrated by Niθ ^^

This is probably one of the best looking figure I have. She looks gorgeous, definitely at the top level, in terms of quality, paint job, and details. Even her pose and expression is really convincing, as if she was saying “Wanna see what’s under?”~XD If there was a score sheet, I’m so gonna give her a full score~ That’s not all. Her base stand also has her Insignia printed on it, and it’s a nice design too ^^

demon

Although I have one question…is she considered Loli?~XD Well she’s flat-chested…umm what was it called…“Tsurupeta”?~XD

Anyway, she’s definitely worth getting and I totally recommend her ^^

On with the shots~!!

From Figure/GK

Sadly, Normal Form Shana is Dengeki Daiou magazine September 2008 exclusive mail order. Which means that you need a special coupon from the magazine to get her. As for the Flama Haze Ver., she’s scheduled for November 2008 release. Both will be retailing for 3,500 Yen. Maybe someone can help me translate the info on Flame Haze ver., if I missed anything important ^^

More on Nendoroids, as you can see from the scan, more Nendoroids is on the way, atleast 3 of them ^^

They are Nendoroid Nankyoku Sakura from Penguin Musume scheduled for November 2008, Nendoroid Exelica which I think is an exclusive item that comes with a new upcoming PS2 game (I can’t read the title >_< ), and lastly Nendoroid Ignis, which info is still unknown ^^

I’m so getting Ignis when she’s up for pre-orders~XD Sakura looks cute and Exelica is looking cool there~XD As for Shana, we can just hope
