A little bit late on the news (Internet issue >_>; ), but anyway, Comiket 75 ended earlier, and of course, there are lots of juicy news on the future figure releases ^^
Moeyo and Hobby Stock posted their coverages on the event earlier. Good Smile Company and Max Factory displayed quite a number of new and upcoming figures, and best of all, they also announced a number of news for their future releases.
Weeee~
It has been one week ever since Anime Festival Asia 2008 ended, so I guess it’s time for me to put up my coverages ^^;
Wow, another great day of AFA2008, especially with the Cosplay Mania event, plus May’n LIVE concert. The amount of crowd is just unbelievable, nothing compared to Day 1 ^^
May’n LIVE concert was just flawless and awesome, but it’s just ended too fast, still hungry for more~XD
Anyway, took lots of photos and been there since morning just like Day 1, so again I’m pretty much worned out ^^; Coverages and photos will have to wait until later, probably tomorrow ^^
Oh and no loot today, just exclusively phototaking~XD
MOTTEKKEEEE!!! *Fist on Air* May’n ❤
Wow, it was a long day, but I managed to acquire these today from AFA2008 ^^
– Shuraki Trinity Box #03: Char Rousemann (Good Smile Company)
– MG RX-78-3 O.Y.W. G3 COLOR Chara Hobby 2008 (Bandai)
– VOCALOID Hatsune Miku EX Figure Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Rin (Sega)
My best acquired loot is definitely Char Rhousemann. Been looking for this for ages. It’s almost impossible to get now considering how rare she is now. Luckily for me I spotted this, and it was the last of the stock. Now my Shuraki set is complete, YAY!!~XD
Also, a Gunpla kit after quite a while ^^;
Back from AFA2008 so I’m really worned out right now, been there since morning, plus I went to watch Mizuki “Aniki” Ichiro LIVE concert performance. The GARness is just over the scale, BEST concert I’ve ever seen!! ^^
I took lots of photos, but have to wait until later for the coverage, need to rejuvenate myself for AFA2008 – Day 2 ^^;
May’n LIVE concert tomorrow!!~XD
Yesterday was the day when 25 lucky Bloggers get to meet Danny Choo during the Blogging Wokshop organized by Animax-Asia. I was lucky to be part of the 25 Bloggers because there’s probably won’t be any other chances like this in the future. Overall it was a successful event and I’m glad that I came ^^

First are the Day/Afternoon shots. Let’s start with Haruhi and Yuki (Didn’t take much photos on both of them) ^^
Saber~

Panther’s Shinra~
Squee’s Kanu~
My Lulu aiming to be a “Low Angler”~XD

Squee’s Kanu~
Lastly, Panther’s Shinra~
Some candid shots of our group photos ^^;
Well, that ends my coverage ^^; As you can see, I didn’t take much photos of my figures ^^; Ironically, all the PVC figures have better results than my Figmas~XD The night photos are definitely my favourites, especially the one with Shinra, since her colour corresponds with the surrounding area.
Looking forward to next photoshoot outing, and next time, I’ll bring my PVCs instead~XD

Yesterday, on Saturday, was our 3rd Singapore Blogger Outing. We’ve been doing this on monthly basis, and yesterday’s theme was basically an Outdoor Photoshoot, where we brought out some of our figures and did a photoshoot on them.
The venue was at Toa Payoh Town Park, located near Toa Payoh MRT Station and the outing lasted from 3.00 PM until around 9.00 PM, since we are also going for the night photoshoot.
Although the outing was mainly consist of Team Blue members, anyone who are interested is welcome to join us ^^ Thanks to Panther, again, for organizing the outing.
I will divide the coverage into 2 parts. The 1st part is mainly the coverage report plus some photos. Second part is mainly the photos ^^ Coverage starts here~XD
(Right Click on Images, and choose “Open Images” for higher resolutions)
So I went early around 2.30 PM, since I had to go to City Hall to collect my “Wonfest 2008 Goodies” ^^ I met up with Fariz around 3.00 PM at Toa Payoh MRT Station and went to the park together. It was quite a hot day and luckily no rainy day ^^
When we arrived there, Squee, Gordon, and Hirito were already there. They were scouting the place earlier to see if we can find any nice spot for our photoshoot. Raven and Panther arrived a while later around 4.00 PM. In the end, there were 7 of us total who went for the outing. There were supposed to be more, but I guess something important came up.
This is where the fun starts ^^
So we took out our figures, and showed what we got. In my case I brought most of my Figma figures; Yuki, Haruhi, Saber, & Lulu (Review coming~:p). Gordon brought his Claire out, Hirito with his Nendo-petit Mikuru Frog suit & Sawatari Makoto, Panther with his Shinra, Fariz and Nendo Miku, and lastly Squee with his Pinky St. figures plus Kanu Unchou. I don’t think Raven brought any.
So we took a group photo of our figures:
And also a group shot ^^
(Left to right: wcloudxkumo(Me), Squee, Fariz, Raven, Panther, Gordon, Hirito)
Then we went for our photoshoot!!
So everyone splited up and went to their favourite spots. There were actually some passers-by that saw us while we taking photos. Some of them just ignored us, and others actually stop and watched us doing our stuffs ^^; At the same time, we also exchanged knowledge on photography stuffs.
Raven left earlier not long later. Hirito was the next to leave, and then Gordon until around 6 PM. So only me, Panther, Squee, and Fariz left for the night photoshoot. We went for dinner 1st before continuing our night photoshoot at the nearest Food Court. I forgot what the place called, but they got one of the nicest cold Honey Lemon Drink, which is really perfect after a long hot day~XD
Then we went for our night photoshoot. To tell the truth, night photoshoot is one of the hardest to take, and also one that takes lots of effort, but the results were something that is worth doing ^^ I’m really pleased with the results~
We then left around 9 PM ^^
That ends my coverage of the outing. There will be more photoshoot outing planned in the future, and I think the next one would be in October if I’m not mistaken. Saber welcomes anyone who are interested!!
More Photos coming in Part 2 of the coverage ^^
