Preview: Another Blood 2008-03-31 01:31:02 First impression: so red! Except her body, all her dress, including her hat is in red! And I must say her dress is amazing! With a great mixture of semi-transparent material. It really gives those fabric feel. Can’t say much about her face though. There is this sense of evil in her that I don’t [...] Read more:Preview

Tsuruya-san 2008-04-08 21:20:13 The final installment of my Max Factory Suzumiya Haruhi figures before I move on to cover other figures (Edit: well, maybe not so final anymore after the new MF Mikuru is opened for pre-order -.-”). This time it’s Tsuruya-san, in the waitress dress during the anime’s annual school festival. This post was delayed quite a [...]
Vampire Knight 2008-04-13 10:27:16 Was supposed to publish a figure review but my photos all turned out underexposed! =.=” Have to redo the photo shots again. In the meantime, here comes VampireKnight
!
Was introduced to this anime by Serene. And as the name suggests, it’s about vampires? It shall contain romance, mystery and bloody elements. This anime is based [...]
Legioss & Tread 2008-04-16 00:50:59 The follow up from my previous post, this time it’s the review for Legioss & Tread
by CM, also done by CollectionDX. Legioss & Thread is by far the most awesome mecha for me in the Macross/Robotech universe. (Ya ya, I know Mospeada is not in the Macross universe). Two mechas can combine into one! [...]
Mospeada Ride Armour 2008-04-16 00:40:05 Mospeada was one of the first anime that I have ever watched. I was a huge fan of it since they have transformers type mechas. As with Macross, their plane->gerwalk->battroid mechas are my personal favourite. Recently, there are quite a few new mechas that came out based on Mospeada, from the Legioss (valkyries if you [...]
Preview: Tsukishiro Miina 2008-04-21 21:50:43 Another of those figures of cute little girls whom you can’t resist to love. I fall in love with her almost immediately, with her bunny ears, carrot hammers and rocket thrusters? She is from Getsumento Heiki Miina and shall have a street price of 6300 yen and releasing in August 2008. If only I can [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Sennin Haruka 2008-04-21 21:42:00 Ok now for the fun part. In my previous post, we have Takamori Haruka from Alter. In this post we have Sennin Haruka from Kotobukiya. Even though they share different name, they are actually the same character! With the very same pose! I have no idea what these two companies are trying to achieve. Releasing [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Takamori Haruka 2008-04-21 21:34:30 Been so busy at work lately that I have not even the time to visit my own blog. -.-”
Let’s start off with Haruka from the eroge game “Beat Blades Haruka”. She is looking gorgeous in this form. People may be concerned whether any possibility of leaning? But I have got pretty good confidence with Alter. [...] Read more:Preview
Otaku Life.. Restarting.. 2008-04-26 11:11:59 Finally finish my dreadful two weeks. Not only does work piled up so high in office, I also had to dwell deep into textbooks for my final exam. ^^ had my two papers this morning so I now I am as free as what. Tonnes of backlog of figure reviews. (still have one figure waiting [...] Read more:Otaku
Minatsuki Saya 2008-04-27 10:35:56 This is one heck of a figure whom I had waiting for so long. In fact, she is the longest one I waited for release. I still remember I placed a pre-order for her mid last year, only for her to be delayed a few times and finally releasing in February 2008. She is no [...]
Preview: Lala Satalin Deviluke 2008-04-28 21:35:31 I had seen her in the WF2008 photo coverage by several big names. I had waited for her to be announced. And now here is she, Lala Satalin Deviluke from To Love ru. Just look at her dynamic pose, her smile, her eyes and her overall representation. I can say: she is gorgeous! Ok, I [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Mao Kotobukiya Ver. 2008-04-28 21:30:50 This figure come at no surprise since Kotobukiya had released almost all of the characters from Shining Wind. It is just a matter of time. This Mao had the new costume from Shining Wind. Her short skirt is really captivating. Detail looks good. Her outer jacket can be remove. But other than that, I can’t [...] Read more:Preview
Drawing using HTML 2008-05-02 10:49:53 Want to share this video: A HTML expert drawing an anime character. I sure can’t do that. Enjoy!
Wing Gundam Zero - Part 1 2008-05-05 00:43:08 Embarked on a model kit project. It’s the 1/60 scale Wing Gundam Zero from Bandai. If you had seen the anime series, you would have known that this is the second Wing Gundam actually, after the first one was destroyed. I had been a fan of Gundams since long time ago, so when I saw [...]
Voltron Lion Force Gift Set 2008-05-10 10:35:45 A little filler while I am preparing my next figure review.
Voltron, defender of the universe! is back! I am sure hardcore mecha collectors will remember the die-cast masterpiece version of Voltron which was long sold out and limited rare item. The plastic version shall make its way to us again this coming July 2008 [...] Read more:Force
Site Changes 2008-05-09 10:44:19 Was rather occupied making changes to Otaku’s Hideout:
Completed the transition to WP2.5! Previously still got some unworkable plugins and some theme issues. All seems to be well now.
Changed image sizes from thumbnails to resized images. Still smaller than the original uploaded ones, but should be large enough for viewing. Clicking on the photos will bring [...]
Bridget 2008-05-13 01:16:41 Bridget is only the second trap figure I have. The first being Capcom’s Poison, which I had yet to do any coverage. By trap figure, I mean that from first glance, you would have thought that Bridget is a girl, but in actual fact, he/she is a guy. I was rather anticipating this figure, mainly [...] Read more:Bridget

Preview: Blanc Neige Kotobukiya Shining Wind Ver. 2008-05-19 07:32:23 Finally, Blanc Neige in her Shining
Wind outfit. The previous Neige from Kotobukiya was from the Shining Tears universe. So far, the Shining Tears/Wind figures I have are only Max Factory’s Kureha and their swimsuit figures. The others I skipped since I feel they do not really accurately capture the elegance and beauty of Tony’s [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Konjiki no Yami 2008-05-23 10:42:26 Again, another of those figures that makes your heart itchy (or rather, your hands). If you would get Lala from Alpha Omega, you would not want to miss this to complete your set. This figure reminds me of Amane Misa from Death Note. Her fish biscuit looks very realistic! And on her book, you can [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Lala Satalin Deviluke Uniform Version 2008-05-23 10:32:36 This is great. I have pre-ordered Lala Satalin Deviluke from Good Smile Company, and now another one has to come out. And she looks just as good. No idea how should I choose. This Lala looks more youthful but in a typical school uniform outfit. The other one, has a more unique costume. Perhaps I [...] Read more:Preview

Preview: Ikaruga Ibuki 2008-05-27 10:20:08 The last one for the day is Ikaruga Ibuki from Movic. I do agree Movic is not always well-known for quality. Even through the promotional photos, you can spot that there is a gap at the blouse’s button area, which I don’t think is supposed to be there. Main attraction seems to be the cast-off [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Tenkokuugen 2008-05-27 10:00:51 There are just too many figures released today that caught my eyes. The second one is Tenkokuugen from FREEing. I had always associated FREEing with large scale 1/4 figures of Haruhi. Feel a bit weird seeing them with figures from other series. Anyway, this one look very decently done. Very nice colour mix. And that [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Masterpiece of Kuuchuu Yousai Shinobu-chan 2008-05-27 09:45:48 A hottie! Just look at how moe she is, with an extremely seductive pose. Super short skirt and blouse and fish net, wow! There will be two version, a normal and a special edition (purple hair and black shoes). I would love to get her. But I am afraid the almost exposed front parts may [...] Read more:Preview
, Masterpiece
Preview: Kimidori Emiri Bunny Version 2008-06-01 08:28:23 This is by far the best 1/4 Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi figure from FREEing in my opinion. The other ones doesn’t really stand out as much as this one. (Although Tsuruya Bunny
Version from FREEing does look extremely striking as well). Just look at her costume, her fish net, her moe-ness, her smile and of [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Nendoroid Petit Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Swimsuit Ver. 2008-06-04 09:46:44 Saw this Nendoroid Petit
series over at Good Smile Company’s official blog. From what I can make out of it (since the original article in Japanese), it shall be limited to 5000 units and sold at 3000yen at specific stores only. It will consist of 5 characters in swimsuit and float, namely, Suzumiya Haruhi, Nagato [...] Read more:Preview
News: Ryuna Kotobukiya Ver. 2008-06-07 10:47:10 There are news and a prototype photo (just a back shot teaser) out in Shining Series Figure Blog on a possible Ryuna figure by Kotobukiya. From the website also, Ryuna seems to be the 9th of a 12-figure list. More Shining Wind figures coming?
(Phases in Japanese taken from Shining Blog, text in parenthesis the translated [...]
Preview: Ayanami Rei Alter Ver 2008-06-11 00:58:24 This Rei is supposedly the first figure from the Evangelion New Theatrical Version. Rei does look good in this figure. If there is any issues at all, will be her lying down pose, which may not satisfy every figure collector. For me, this is a must get for any Evangelion or Rei fans. She will [...] Read more:Preview

Preview: Ayanami Rei Gothic Lolita Noir Kotobukiya Ver. 2008-06-11 00:45:41 Ayanami Rei is still going strong after all this years. So is Evangelion. The latest in Kotobukiya Evangelion series is Rei is GothicLolita
costume. In case you don’t know, there was a Gothic Lolita Langley Asuka by Kotobukiya too. I dislike Rei’s face sculpt in this figure. Doesn’t look realistic at all. She will [...] Read more:Preview
