A cute, weird, funny, and cool freestyle dance routine at the same~XD I like the slapping part :p
Note:
There was a slow traffic of news on figure/gunpla because of Golden Week period in Japan, but it just ended yesterday. So expect a bunch of news coming ^^
Found these 2 images of Saber figure, which I’ve never seen before.
These are 2 different figures. Can anyone identify the company maker? Looks new to me and the details are amazing. I personally like the first image ^^

A nice preview of, which I think is, the upcoming figure of Ignis by Yamato. This beautiful figure of Ignis was shown at WHF 2008 Final and is part of Cerberus Project.
You can view more image at Akiba Hobby and Cerberus Project
I have to say, this is one of the best figure of Ignis I’ve seen d( > _ < )b
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:

Here it is, the review for “Figma Suzumiya Haruhi School Uniform Ver.” by Max Factory, the last of my big haul of the week ^^
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~
Close up~
With different faces~
Action shots ^^~
Hare Hare dance with Saber and Yuki ^^~
Some actions with Saber ^^~
Haruhi: “Join the SOS-Dan or die!!”
Saber: “Nowai!!”
Saber: “Slash!!”
Haruhi: “Phone-Block!!”
Haruhi: “Spinzaku Kick!!”
Saber: “WTF!!??”
Saber: “Ugh…”
Haruhi: “SOS-Dan Rulz~”
Can’t wait for the rest of the SOS-Dan members to come out~( ^ _ ^ )/
The final painted product of the upcoming “Blanc Neige” PVC figure from Shining Wind series is finally out ^^
From Shine’s Blog
Reservation for her should open sometime soon ( ^ _ ^ )/
So, I went to Esplanade the other day to take some photos, as part of my Digital Photography Class “Night Photo” assignment. This is also a chance where I can fully use my new tripod ^^;
I have to say, it’s a great experience for me, since it’s my first time doing this kind of stuff ^^
Took these from the top floor.
Can be better though ^^; First hand experience is always nice ( > _ < )
Just got my “1/100 Gundam Astraea” today ^^
I’ll post the review on it as soon as I finish building it. Look forward to it~ ( ^ _ ^ )/
An amazing room showing a collection of figures, still intact in their boxes ^^ Of course, they’re not mine~XD Wish they were :p

From Mikatan’s Blog
I like the SOS-Dan poster~XD Would love to hang it in my room :p
Alright~ Next review will be this wonderful “Figma Saber Armor Ver.” by Max Factory ^^
All I can say about Saber is that…she’s Amazing!! ( > _ < )v She’s a lot superior in many ways than the previous Figma Yuki ^^ The details and the mobility is just wowee~ I think this will be my favourite Figma figure up-to-date ^^ I can see that the Figma releases are getting better with each new releases. So much potential, can’t wait for the rest of the future Figmas to be out ^^ So excited~
Anyway, just like previous Figma releases, a lot of extra accessories included, which allows you to play with different posing option ^^ In Saber case, you get 2 extra face expression, extra hair, 2 Excaliburs, and 3 extra pairs of hands. She can stand with ease without the help of the “Figma Stand”, unless for some fancy poses ^^
On with the shots!!
Close up~
With different faces~
The outer skirt can be opened up~
A closer look on the Excaliburs~
Alright, Action Shots!! ( > _ < )v
Yuki also wants a piece of the action~XD
Actually I want to take more action shots, but it’ll be too many to post later on ^^;
If you never bought a Figma before, Saber is highly recommended!! d( > _ < )b

Don’t miss it!! \( ^ o ^ )/
This next review will be “Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu #02” by Good Smile Company, and also the first figure review of the month ^^
This 2nd set is the follow up of the previous “Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu #01” release, also by Good Smile Company. Just like before, this box set contains 12 figures; 5 different character figures with 2 versions each, a Secret Figure, and a random extra figure. Each standing around 6-7cm. The only difference is that we have a different line up now. We are getting Ryoko and Kyon’s Sister this time, instead of Kyon and Tsuraya-san. Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki are still included in this set.
As for the Secret Figure, we are getting Mikuru in her Frog costume, which most of you might already know ^^;
So how about quality? Are there any improvement compared to the first one? Absolutely!! ^^ For those who owned the 1st set (including me :p), you might be complaining about lots of stuffs, which include defection, parts easily coming off, durability, etc. Rest assured!! All of those are history now!!^^
I’m quite impressed with all the improvements they have made with this set. All the parts and joints are now firmly fit and won’t come off easily. The figure also came out as a whole when you open the box now, unlike the 1st one which comes in pieces. Colour and paint job looks crisp now ^^ Durability wise, it looks much stronger now. You can really feel the weight ^^ As for details, I won’t say much, really ^^ It’s quite understandable, but for a 500 Yen figure, GSC really did wonderful on these ^^
Alright, on with the shots~
Version 1
Version 2
Suzumiya Haruhi
Asakura Ryoko

My extra random figure ^^;

So I just watched this one clip episode of Japanese TV program called “Girl’s Paradise”. The purpose of the program…is to dress a male as a female ( > _ < );
Basically what they did is they chose selected High Schooler boys and dress them as a girl, and see which one is the prettiest and the cutest. This is the latest episode which was aired few days ago, a total of 6 participants. You can view them below. A word of warning…They are all boys!!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
I know they are all guys…but the level is just too high!! The last one is just…I don’t know what to say…you just have to see it yourself!! ( > _ < )!!
