Figma.BP Lelouch Lamperouge (Max Factory) – Part 1/2

July 11, 2008

It’s been a while, but here’s the first review of the month, “Figma.BP Lelouch Lamperouge” from Max Factory will take the stage ^^

lulu

I will divide the review into 2 parts, with Part 1 for the general review and Part 2 for the Action shots.

Actually Lulu already been released for a while, and the one that I have is the “Re-Released” version released back in June. Originally I thought I won’t be able to get him, but luckily Hobby Link Japan has him. The reason is because I thought Lulu was an exclusive figure the first place, since he’s listed as “SP-002”.

Anyway, Lulu is actually my very first “Male” figure~XD Just like the rest of the Figma figure, he’s no exceptions ^^ Superb quality as usual, although to be honest, he’s probably on par with Saber, atleast for me and he’s really fun to play with~XD Compared to other Figmas, he’s bigger in terms of size. I think he’s the tallest among the Figmas released so far.

lulu

He came with lots of accessories, which include Zero‘s “Lotus” helmet and Arthur the Cat ^^ Others include the usual Figma accessories, and also additional hands with Cell Phone and the Gun.

lulu

Lulu is definitely one of those figure that you must get. I totally recommend him ^^

Anyway, on with the shots~!!

July 9, 2008

Another new entry from Art Storm’s Character Series is ready for reservations. This time it’s Yoshizaki Mine‘s turn ^^

limit gunz

This new 1/6 scale figure of “Limit Gunz” from the Lilics series, will be available this coming November 2008, and will be retailing for 8,400 yen. Hobby Search is taking pre-orders for her as of today.

Just like Shunya Yamashita‘s Kanaru, this figure is listed as Volume 1, so the possibility is high that more will come in the future.

If you are not familiar with the name Yoshizaki Mine, he’s actually the creator of the famous Manga Keroro Gunzo (Sgt. Keroro), which anime series is still running as of now. He’s also the character designer for the arcade game Otomedeus and apparently he will also be designing one of the new Soul Calibur IV‘s guest character named Angol Fear ^^

This figure is gorgeous, love that big gun!!~XD

This figure is part of Shunya Yamashita Character Series, and it’s stated as Volume 1. So I guess more will come in the future. A good addition to any Shunya Yamashita’s fans out there ( ^ _ ^ )/

The nicest and coolest figure of Felicia I’ve ever seen. She’s my favourite character in the series also ^^ I think there’s also an OVA series adapted from the game if I’m not mistaken. Old series though~ ( ^ _ ^ );
