Wcloudx (kumo)'s Blog – Ramblings about Figures, Gunpla, & More!!

Rawr~!! Today marked the 5th Anniversary of this Blog, and I have to admit that it’s quite a Milestone, didn’t think it would last this long ^^

One another note, there hasn’t been much posts and news updates this past week because of Christmas and New Year holidays for Figure Companies and alike, but it should be back to normal in coming days ^^;

Anyway, the year 2012 has been another busy year for me because of work, projects, and stuffs, which explained some of the slow updates, but of course it won’t stop this Blog. As stated every year, as long as there are readers and figurine news to update for, this Blog will keep going~

While still on topic, some of you may have noticed that the header is showing a new logo. To celebrate the the 5th anniversary, and seeing how this Blog have come a long way, I thought a new Logo and “Looks” is needed to establish an Identity. So I have decided to design one ^^

The logo design is inspired from one of my “Mascot”, which is the Chibi-Samurai “Mo-kun”. The logo also represent some of the letters from “wcloudxkumo”, which are the “wcxk”, depending on how you see it. Plus, with the added trademark sunglasses, the logo pretty much represent the silhouette of “Mo-kun”. The word “Gunpla” also has been removed from the catchphrase, since I won’t be covering Gunpla news anymore, seeing how this Blog is now solely on Figurine news. That doesn’t mean I won’t be covering other news though. I will definitely slip in some other non-figurine news from time to time~

Also, the Blog will get a revamp look and design. This will be done in steps in the coming weeks and months. Originally, I was planning to move my Blog to a new server and stuffs, but it just too much work, so I have decided to stay.

Again, I just want to thank all of you guys for all the support, both frequent readers and passersby. As mentioned before, As long as there are people reading, this Blog will not die and will keep going strong ^^

WordPress also have sent my 2012 Blog Annual Statistic report, so I thought I might as well share them with you guys~^^
