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

Another figure of Haruka from the eroge “Beat Blades Haruka” is ready for reservations ^^ This time it’s Kotobukiya‘s turn to give Haruka the PVC treatment~

Goes under the name “Sennin Haruka”, this 1/8 scale figure by Kotobukiya is scheduled for July 2008 release, with the price tag of 5,800 Yen. Hobby Search is taking pro-orders for it starting today ^^

I wonder if there’s a competition between Kotobukiya and Alter since it has the same pose :p, but both figures definitely looks gorgeous in their own ways ^^; Looks like I’m getting both the Alter and Kotobukiya’s version \( > _ < )/

Sorry for the late post ^^; Here it is as promised, the review of “Queen’s Blade Airi” by Mega House, which I acquired from La Tendo few days ago ^^

Since this is from the same series as “Queen’s Blade Nyx” and also the same company maker, expect another R18 review content ^^; I’ll be posting the Full Cast Off photos without any censors marks, so if you find them offensive, please refraint from reading the review (Although it’ll probably won’t stop you~XD) ^^;

I didn’t really gave much information on the series before, so I’ll do so now for those who are curious.

Queen’s Blade series is actually not an anime or a console game. Well, it is a “game”, but it’s under the “Combat Picture Game” by using a number of “Books” to play. It’s adapted or maybe a spin-off from quite a well known “Visual Book” game called “Lost World”. For more info you can go Here.

There’s a total of 15 different characters from the series currently, with each designed by different well known character designers. Atleast half of them already gotten the “Figure” treatment, so expect more of them to be released in near future ^^ Queen’s Blade gained quite a popularity which in the end gave birth to a new spin-off series called “Queen’s gate”. I think there are only 3 characters currently in the Queen’s Gate series, with Nijihara Ink as one of them from the Moetan series ^^

You can go to the Official Website of Queen’s Blade/Gate for more info.

Anyway, back to our topic!! ( > _ < );

I’m pretty much satisfied with Airi and at the same time impressed by it. Well, what can you expect from a pretty girl wearing a maid uniform, holding a deadly scythe ready for some action ^^; The details and paint jobs is just…wow, not mentioning the Full Cast Off goodies. I really like the scythe the most, as it looks…deadly :p

The figure only comes with a stand, no other extra accessories. My only complains on the figure, it’s pretty hard to figure out the cast off method for first timer, since there’s no instructions on how to do it. So be careful if you ever bought one. I almost broke the ribbons myself ( > _ < ) Another one is attaching the weapon to the figure itself. There isn’t really much support for the weapon, so it’s pretty much frustrating at times, since it keeps dropping off.

Other than that, it’s pretty much a well worth to get figure ^^

Anyway, the usual shots~

Current Queen’s Blade collection with Nyx~

Looking at the Queen’s Blade series so far, really tempted me to get the others ^^; Looking forward to future releases ( ^ _ ^ )/

So, finally I managed to get this beautiful figure of “Queen’s Blade Airi” by Mega House from La Tendo yesterday during our Singapore Blogger community outing ^^ Around 13 different blogger from around Singapore came for it. Many thanks to Panther for organizing the outing, was fun meeting fellow bloggers who have the same interest ^^

Anyway, reviews for Airi will probably be posted later in the evening. Look forward to it ( ^ _ ^ )/

This figure of “Kamikita Komari 1/8 Scale” by Kotobukiya from Littlebusters series is now ready for preorders, and Hobby Search have open the reservation for it as of today ^^ The figure is scheduled for July 2008 release with the retail price of 5,500 Yen.

There’s just something about this figure that makes you want to say “Moe~!!” :p

Here it is, the review of “KOS-MOS Ver.4” by Alter, which arrived yesterday ^^

This KOS-MOS figure is probably the hardest one to get currently. The demand for it is quite high. The moment you see it available somewhere…boom, it’s gone in matter of seconds ^^; I spotted this last week on Hobby Search, and it was the last of the stock. This time I managed to get it ( > _ < );

Anyway, this figure definitely the coolest KOS-MOS figure out there. It’s based on KOS-MOS Ver.4 from the game “Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra”. Trailer of the game below:

The details is just…wow, never seen one like this before. The hair is crystal blue clear and the gold coating is just great. The packaging box also has one of the coolest design. Just a warning, you need to be careful when taking the figure out of the box, especially the “Gatling Gun”. The weapon already fixed to the hand, but it’s quite fragile and wobbles around. So just keep an eye on that, if you ever bought one ^^;

No other extra accessories given, just a Stand.

This a must get indeed, no question asked d( > _ < )b

Arrived back at my place from my Malaysia trip, saw a package waiting for me at the front door ^^ Opened the package and it was “KOS-MOS Ver.4” by Alter that arrived ^^

Reviews will be done probably later tomorrow evening. For now, I just need a good night sleep, very tired ( = _ = )”zzZ

Adeau~ ( ^ _ ^ )/

Here it is as promised, the review for “Donne “Miss Nobody” Anonime“ from Alter ^^

Donne Anonime a.k.a Miss Nobody is one of the three main heroine from the eroge game “Tre Donne Crudeli – Satsuriku no Django” by Nitro+. The others are Franco Il Nero a.k.a Black Franco and Lily Salvatana. Both will also get the Alter treatment with Franco on 28th March 2008 and Lily sometimes in July 2008. You can view the OP of the game below:

Official Site Here

There are actually 2 different version of releases for Donne, Normal and limited version. Mine is normal version of course :p The limited version have slightly different paint colour and weapons. Limited gets the Shotgun and Normal gets the Multi-Barrel Revolver ^^ You can view the Limited version at Foo-Bar-Baz

Anyway, this figure is awesome, just what you expect from Alter. They really did a good job potraying the character. The game has great character design and this figure definitely has it all.

Although there is something special about the figure, which I think is the main highlight of it. They actually used a different material to create her “Yokopai” :p It’s a kind of soft rubber material, which you can squished around, and to give you that kind of “weird” sensation XD This is actually the first time I’ve seen a figure with that kind of feature, so I’ll give it a big plus on that ( ^ o ^ )/

On with the shots~

An excellent figure ^^ My Franco “Black” Il Nero should arrived by next week ( ^ _ ^ )/

My 100th Post!! \( ^ o ^ )/

Anyway :p, this beautiful figure of “Donne Anonime (Miss Nobody)” by Alter just arrived at my place yesterday afternoon ^^

Reviews will be posted later this evening~ Look forward to it ( ^ _ ^ )/

Alright~ Next review is this lovely “Mabinogi Succubus 1/8 Scale” by Good Smile Company, which arrived few days ago together with my “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01” ^^

This figure was released on 18th March, 2008, few days after “PuchiLS”, and I have to say, it looks gorgeous ^^ The charm points are the pose and the legs…and it’s really well done. The body curve also looks great. No wonder she’s called “Succubus” :p The quality of the paint job and details were great, especially the rose pattern on the skirt and the chest are and the arms areas were made shiny. The skirt was made transparent also ^^;

Anyway, the figure also comes with an extra “damaged” skirt, which you can switch around.

As for the stand, I was hoping they would put some patterns or pictures on it, because it looks a bit dull and plain =/…but overall, this is one sexy figure ( ^ _ ^ )/

Usual shots~

Pantsu ^^;~
