Kuonji Shinra 1/8 Scale (Good Smile Company)

April 29, 2008

For starter, I’ll start the review with “Kuonji Shinra 1/8 Scale” by Good Smile Company ^^

shinra

Kuonji Shinra is the main heroine from the eroge “Kimi Ga Aruji de Shitsuji Ga Ore De” or They Are My Noble Masters, and also from the anime adaptation with the same name. She’s probably well known with the call name “Shinra-Sama” ^^ OP of the anime below:

Shinra was just released few days ago on 26th April 2008 and is the first release from Kimiaru series by Good Smile Company, with Benisu following this coming July 2008 ^^

shinra 2

This is probably the most elegant looking figure I have. She just has that same “aura” you get from the anime series ( > _ < ) Everything about her is just amazing, from details to paint job. The hair is also well made, and it’s probably one of the charm point ^^ The details on her jewelry chain, and dress is amazing. Unfortunately, Shinra is not Full Cast off-able. The only thing that can be casted off is her cape ^^;

Just a word of warning. If you ever bought Shinra, don’t forget to remove the cape and start rubbing off the “oil” from it. There should be some on the legs and the top-wear ^^

On with the shots~

Figma Saber & Revoltech Saber Comparison

April 27, 2008

saber

Found this image over at Figure/GK, just after Figma Saber was released.

I like Figma Saber‘s face better than Revoltech’s, but that’s just my preference anyway ^^; I don’t own a Revoltech Saber, and my Figma Saber still on its way ^^;

Suzumiya Haruka 1/8 Scale (Good Smile Company)

April 27, 2008

Here it is, the review for “Suzumiya Haruka 1/8 Scale” by Good Smile Company, which arrived a while ago ^^

haruka

I’ve decided to get this figure to pair up with the upcoming “Hayase Mitsuki 1/8 Scale”, which I’m planning to get also ^^;

Anyway, Suzumiya Haruka is one of the main heroine from Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien series, with Hayase Mitsuki as the other ^^. This time Good Smile Company decided to release her in her swimsuit and this will be my second “Beach” theme figure ^^ OP of the anime below:

GSC really did well on Haruka, as usual~:p The paint job and details, especially the Straw Hat and the “Sandy” Stand, are just amazing. She looks quite provocative in a way also ^^; The body curve is yummy~

The figure is pretty simple basically, and only come with a stand. No other accessories included ^^;

Anyway on with the shots~This time I tried using “Manual” mode and decided to do the settings on my own. Usually I put mine under “Macro” mode, and let my camera do the rest ^^;

Queen’s Gate Alice Boost State Ver.

April 24, 2008

alice

Akiba Hobby just posted a nice first look on the upcoming “Alice Boost State Ver.” from Queen’s Gate series by Alter. More photos Here.

The figure is scheduled for December 2008 release and up for 6,800 Yen.

From the looks of it, this figure will be Hobby Japan magazine order exclusive. Which means that you need to cut a limited order coupon from Hobby Japan (should be the next issue), and send it through mail if you want to get this figure.

When I look at it for the first time, I just went totally blank for a second. This is one of the best looking figure I’ve seen lately!! ( > _ < );; I got the same feeling as when I look at Alter’s “KOS-MOS Ver. 4” and “Chua Churam” for the first time. I mean look at it…it’s just amazing~XD, but the whole coupon thing might really prevent most of us from getting it.

Need to find a way to get this ( > _ < );

Wave’s Tamaki & Sasara Reservation Starts!!

April 24, 2008

tamaki

sasara

Wave deliveres us 2 new figures from To Heart 2 series. One is 1/6 Scale “Kosaka Tamaki Maid Ver.” for 8,500 Yen, and the other is 1/8 Scale “Kasugawa Sasara” for 5,200 Yen. Both figures are scheduled for September 2008 release. Hobby Search is taking reservations for them as of today.

The high cost for Tamaki is probably because of the scale, the added ABS material for it ^^ and Rubber Boobs~XD Both looks gorgeous, although I prefer Sasara out of the two ( ^ _ ^ );

Gotta love the slogan “Soft Material! Feel So Good!” on Tamaki~XD

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (Good Smile Company)

April 24, 2008

Here it is, the review for my “Nendoroid Hatsune Miku” by Good Smile Company, which arrived yesterday ^^

miku

I’ve been waiting for this forever, since most of us who ordered online can only get Miku on 2nd shipment on 16th April, 2008. The 1st shipment, which was on 31st March, 2008 are mostly for the shops in Japan ( > _ < ), but I’m not gonna complain. Miku is so worth the wait ^^ Just like any Nendoroid figures, Miku is Mega Cute!! You can view her in action with other Vocaloids mates below:

Just a little bit of info on Hatsune Miku ^^ Hatsune Miku is part of the Vocaloids line up, and also the first to be made. First created by Crypton Future Media, Vocaloid is a singing synthesise program that let users create a song.

Ok back to topic :p Good Smile Company really did well on Miku. Just like any Nendoroid series, Miku comes with different facial expressions and other extra accessories, which allows you to get different kinds of Miku. That even includes the “Hachune Miku” version, and the Leek :p

miku 2

The figure also comes with an instruction manual, and also a brochure which lists all the released Nendoroids so far.

The best thing is that Miku can stand without any trouble even without the aids of the Stand. All thanks to the oversized twintails, which can act as a support :p Even the twintails are movable. For a small 10 cm height of figure, the details are amazing.

Anyway on with the shots~

First Class’ Cyrille Reservation Starts!!

April 23, 2008

cyrille

cyrille

A new “Cyrille Olive” figure from the game Shining Force EXA is scheduled for release by First Class, a company which I never heard of ^^; There will be 2 versions for this release; Normal Version and Nekomimi Version. Both are scheduled for June 2008 release and will be up for 5,800 Yen each. Hobby Search is taking reservation for them as of now.

As you can see, the difference between the two is the expression and Nekomimi mode~

This is probably one of those few figures where it’ll caught your attention straight once you took a glance on it ^^ Just look at the details, especially the chains. I’m pretty weak to Nekomimi mode~XD

Franco Il Nero a.k.a Black Franco (Alter)

April 22, 2008

As promised, here it is the review for “Franco Il Nero a.k.a Black Franco” by Alter, which arrived few days ago together with my “Al Azif Swimsuit Ver. 1/8 Scale” ^^

franco

As mentioned before, Franco is one of the three main heroine from the eroge “Tre Donne Crudelli – Satsuriku no Django” by Nitro+, and is the second release by Alter after Donne Anonime a.k.a Miss Nobody. The third heroine, Lily Salvatana, will follows on July 2008 ^^ OP of the game below:

Franco was originally scheduled to be released on March 28th, 2008, but was delayed because of some circumstances until April 16th, 2008.

Unlike Donne Anonime, there’s only one version of release this time by Alter, but that does not mean that this figure is no good ^^; Franco definitely worth getting, especially if you already owned Donne. The details is just awesome, especially the dynamic pose d( > _ < )b The pose is based on one of the CG from the game below. There are 2 versions, designed by none other than NiO:

franco 2

franco 3

NiO is also the character designer for Deus Machina Demonbane and also the new anime by Gonzo, Blassreiter, collaboration with Nitro+. For a figure that’s worth 7,000 Yen, this is definitely a good bargain ^^

The figure comes with a “Wall” stand to support the weight of it. Although there’s a bad news for those who owns Donne. No more “Rubber Boobs” this time for Franco~XD

Anyway on with the shots~

Al Azif Swimsuit Ver. 1/8 Scale (Alter)

April 22, 2008

Here it is as promised, the review for “Al Azif Swimsuit Ver. 1/8 Scale” by Alter, which arrived a while ago ^^

alazif

Review for Franco will follow later, Al Azif first for now ^^; As mentioned before, Al Azif is the main heroine from the eroge Deus Machina Demonbane and also the OVA adaptation of the same name by Nitro+. This time Al Azif appears in her swimsuit, the same one as the one during the beach scene in the anime version ^^

Beach Episode below:

Nice series, worth picking it up~

Anyway :p, I have to say, this is one cute figure of Al Azif and Alter did really well on it. The paint job looks great ^^ What I like about this figure is the expression, and also the “Sandy” base stand, well made indeed ^^ The figure comes with the following accessories:

alazif 2

The skirt pretty much cast off-able. With the addition of Alter’s version, this will be my third figure of Al Azif ^^
