Death Sauce & Sudden Death Sauce
August 7, 2008Saw this video today. It’s so funny I just have to post this~XD
Basically the clip is about some people who tried to taste one of the most spiciest Tobasco sauce in the world, Death Sauce and the higher level Sudden Death Sauce. Their reactions are just too amusing~XD Even the old man, who is supposed to be really good with spicy stuffs, can’t even hold a straight face~XD You can hear the word “Karai” a lot, which means Spicy ^^
Can you guys eat spicy food? I can eat spicy food, but I remember eating one that is so spicy it makes me cry~XD

August 7, 2008
From Figure/GK
Another look of a new scan featuring the upcoming “Revoltech Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” ^^ It was shown during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer, but I think it was still unpainted.
It looks quite cool though~( ^ _ ^ );

Still have to wait for more pics for the others ^^;
On other news, a poster was spotted at Alpha x Omega booth announcing that they’re planning to make figures of Kalen and Shirley from Code Geass, scheduled for December 2008 release ^^ I have the feeling the other 2 secret figures might be the 2 of them ( ^ _ ^ );
Many thanks to Figure/GK

Wonder Festival 2008 Summer Starts!!
August 3, 2008
Wonder Festival 2008 Summer starts today!! Well, it just commenced a while ago. Event time is from 10 AM until 5 PM Japan time.
Expect lots of news by the end of the day~( ^ _ ^ )/
Alpha x Omega WF2008 Goodies + Others~
August 3, 2008
As we all can see from the image above, looks like Alpha x Omega going to announce 3 new figures during this coming Wonfest 2008, or atleast they are going to display the finished product ^^
My only guess is that those 3 might be from Macross Frontier. I know that the far right is Kuran Kuran Micron Ver. since they have already shown the prototype before. The middle one looks like Alto to me~XD Well, we’ll just have to wait for tomorrow I guess ^^
On other news~ According to Shine Na Blog, we will get to see some new Shining Wind figures displayed/announced during tomorrow’s Wonfest 2008 ^^ They includes Kotobukiya‘s Ryuna (Above Image), and others might be Alter‘s Claclaclan Full Armor Version, and Max Factory‘s Seena ^^
I’m so looking forward to these~( ^ . ^ )/
Asahina Mikuru Maid Ver. (Alter/Chara-Ani)
August 2, 2008Alright~ Next review will be “Asahina Mikuru Maid Ver.” by Alter, in collaboration with Chara-Ani. This will be the 1st for the month of August ^^
The figure was released earlier last month on July 2nd, 2008, and is my first ever PVC figure of Mikuru ^^; I was hoping to get my hand on Max Factory‘s Waitress Mikuru first, but still no luck on her ( > _ < );
Anyway back to topic~ As expected from Alter, the quality was great. I don’t know why, but I think the most obvious point that usually distinguished between Alter’s product from the others is probably their paint job. How should I say it, theirs have more “depth” in the colours they used.
No other accessories given. You just need to take it out of the box and it’s ready for display. The most disappointing part of the figure is probably just the plain base stand. Otherwise, everything is perfect ^^
On with the shots~!!

Close ups~
Closer look~
Base stand~
Pantsu~^^;
You can also view another great review of her here at Foo-Bar-Baz.
That ends my review on Alter’s Mikuru ^^ As you probably have noticed, her eyes are pretty much shiny since it can easily reflects the light, and I’m talking about the top eyes~XD
More reviews coming, look forward to them~( ^ _ ^ )/
