Donne “Miss Nobody” Anonime (Alter)

March 28, 2008

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

nobody

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 ^ )/

Let’s Airjoy!!

March 26, 2008

I’ve seen lots of “Air Band”, and this is probably one of the funniest I’ve seen ^^ This time it features one of my favourite song by Queen, “Don’t Stop Me Now”.

The video is done by a group of high school baseball club members, consisting of 4 people ^^; I’ll tell you these guys are geniuses~ XD The video was shown in a Japanese TV program.

Anyway, you can enjoy the video below:

Maybe I can gather my friends to do this~ XD

Kyon no Yutsuu

March 24, 2008

So, what happened when the cast of “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu” switched gender with each other (The male cast as female, and vice versa)? You’ll get yourself a new series called “Kyon no Yutsuu”!! ^^

Anyway, just saw this video on Haruhi dance this morning on Youtube, and it’s not your typical dance video ^^ You’ll just have to see it yourself ^^ Looks like it’s the same maker as the “Lucky Haruhi” video, and of course, it’s still incomplete ^^;

Oh, that’s Kyon and Koizumi btw ( ^ _ ^ );

Mabinogi Succubus 1/8 Scale (Good Smile Company)

March 23, 2008

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” ^^

succubus

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.

succubus 2

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 ( ^ _ ^ )/

Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01 (Good Smile Company)

March 21, 2008

Here it is, as promised, reviews on “Clayroid Puchi Lucky Star Season 01” by Good Smile Company, which arrived yesterday ^^

puchils

Only one word can describe this review…Super Ultra Mega Cute!!! (Ok, that’s more than one word~XD ) One thing that I can notice is that, Good Smile Company really improved a lot in creating this set. This set is WAY better than the previous Nendoroid-Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu #01 release. One is the paint job, and the other is the joints, which I think was one of the major problem with the Nendoroid-Petit release. Now the joints can stick firmly, without having the problem of coming off easily!! ^^

Anyway, just like the previous release, this set comes with 12 figures, consisting of 5 different characters with 2 versions of each, 1 Secret figure, and 1 extra random figure. The secret figure is none other than Shiraishi Minoru!!! (Yay~^^) and for my random figure, I got myself another Kagami ^^ Each figure stands 5-6 cm high and cost 500 Yen, if you buy them separately.

The only problem I had with this set is probably the stand. Some of the stands are rather small, which makes some of the figure a little bit diffficult to stand straight. Overall, this is one cute set XD~

On with the shots~

Mirai Art II

March 20, 2008

Did some quick inking using Paint Tool Sai ^^

Larger Version
mirai

Totally recommend Paint Tool Sai and you can download it for free on the internet. Just search Google for it and you should find it ^^ It’s a Japanese program, but someone already translate the program to English for easy use ^^

A video on what the program can do:

I have both Illustrator and Photoshop, and I have to say this program is like a 2 in 1 ^^

Colouring probably will be doing it next week, after I finished with my final projects XD~

Mirai Art

March 19, 2008

So, I saw Danny’s Post saying that he’s looking for a new pose for “Mirai-Chan”. If you didn’t know yet, “Mirai Suenaga” is Dannychoo.com‘s main Mascot Girl, and you can see her shown all over the site ^^

Had some free time, so I’ve decided to try and do a quick sketch of Mirai, using an image from To Love Ru’s Lala as reference, since Danny have some interest on the pose ^^;

Took around 30 minutes, and this is what I came with:

mirai

I don’t usually leave all my drawn stuffs incomplete, so I’ll probably will do the inking and colouring later on ^^;

Japanese Office Tour – Good Smile Company Part I

Queen’s Blade Nyx (Mega House) [R18]

March 18, 2008

I got this “Queen’s Blade Nyx” by Mega House not long ago from KKnM, but can’t decide whether I want to post a review on it or not ^^; In the end I decided to XD

nyx

I marked the review as R18, because of the Full Cast-Off pictures, so if you find it offensive, just don’t read it, since I won’t be “covering” anything ^^;

Anyway, I’ve been eye-ing this figure, together with “Queen’s Blade Airi” ever since its release, but can’t seems to get my hand on them… they keep getting sold out ( > _ < ). That’s when I spotted this at KKnM accidentally, and just bought it without a second thought ^^;

This sexy figure is really great in terms of quality and details, and not mentioning the Full Cast-Off goodness ^^ The figure comes with Nyx’s Staff, the stand, and the add-on “Thorns” for the dress.

nyx 2

This is actually my first “Naked” figure XD

Stop Motion Video

March 15, 2008

I’ve been following his work on Stop Motion video ever since last year, and I have to say, he’s probably got the best one I’ve ever seen ^^ Goes with the account name “Plamoo”, you can view the rest of his video at Youtube Here.

What makes his video interesting is that he used action figures and Gunpla to do it. He did lots of parodies. I know there are lots of Stop Motion video posted on Youtube using these stuffs, but they are nothing compared to his work. Creating a Stop Motion video is quite tideous and requires the skill and patience to do it, and this guy definitely got all of them. Overtime, you can see that he developed new technique and effects to enhance his video ^^

Anyway, his latest video features “Figma Nagato Yuki” ^^ You can view it below:

Others include “Motteke!! Sailor Fuku” dance:

And “Hare Hare Yukai” dance:

Too awesome for words ( ^ _ ^ )/

Melissa Seraphy 1/8 Scale (Good Smile Company)

March 14, 2008

Sorry, wasn’t able to post this yesterday since I was so tired after the movie, and went to sleep straight ^^;

Anyway XD, as promised, here it is the review for “Melissa Seraphy 1/8 Scale” from Wagamama Cappricio by Good Smile Company which just arrived yesterday. I think it’s an Ero-Game ^^;

melissa

Another hard to find figure, since it was released in Mid-2006. Accidentally spotted it at Hobby Search when they restocked it, and I just ordered it straight away, fearing that it’ll get sold out ^^;

The figure comes with a stand, and that’s it, no other extra goodies. The “Pumpkin” skirt can be cast-off, and I’m pretty much satisfied with the figure ^^ The quality and the details were great, and the Pumpkin is a “See-Though” ^^; but with one problem. It cannot stand properly without the aid of the Pumpkin, but overall, it was worth it ^^; This figure is really good for Halloween decoration or present XD

Anyway, on with the shots~
