Preview: Choun Shiryu Alter Ver. 2008-03-06 00:56:32 I have a strong feeling Alter
will be gunning for the entire Ikkitousen series.. I was still thinking whether to get Alter’s Kanu.. Now having seen Choun, I feel collecting the whole set is a must. This Choun looks somewhat different from other Chouns from other makers. This one seems more “cool”. And she does [...] Read more:Preview
March 2008 - Haul 1 2008-03-05 10:06:53 I was rather surprise to find my EMS package lying in my house. Usually my EMS parcels will be held at a local post office by the Customs and I will need to go there for collection. Maybe because due to elections coming? So the Customs also become Santa Claus now?
But as can be seen [...] Read more:March
Preview: Chua Churam 2008-03-01 12:07:44 This is Chua Churam from Chu x Chu Idol. Just look at her. She is so wonderfully crafted! Amazing details, especially the dress. Even her hair bands are so nice. She can easily make anybody fall in love with her. Even those who don’t know her. She is made as if floating. I am not [...] Read more:Preview
Feb 2008 - Haul 2 2008-02-27 23:20:10 My second haul of the month! I was rather excited when I know the Mai figure that I bought was arriving. But after I got her.. disappointment came..
All my figures that came in. All of them I like a lot..
Now comes the ugly part.. You can see the box is pretty much damaged. [...]
Xenosaga KOS-MOS 2008-02-26 09:32:25 My first figure photo shooting after quite some time, due to my hectic traveling schedules. The subject for today is my Alter’s Kosmos figure which I bought in KL last two weeks. I had always wanted a Kosmos figure and now I have got two (The other one being the Kosmos v4). Kosmos is a [...]
Wonder Festival 2008 2008-02-24 23:35:16 What is the Wonder Festival
? It is actually a figure/toys/anime event that takes place in Japan. Usually there will be figures being sold here, with special editions just for this event.
Show spoiler
The Tokyo Wonder Festival is an annual event to display and sell “garage kits”, which are sculptures that usually replicate anime and game characters, [...]

Preview: Ringo Noyamano 2008-02-23 10:14:54 Saw this over at Heisei Democracy. It’s Ringo
from Air Gear. When I first saw her unpainted sculpt, I thought she was rather pretty. But after I saw this painted figure, I was like huh?.. I never thought she will be almost naked as I never watched the anime before. There isn’t any real piece [...] Read more:Preview
Instant Chat 2008-02-23 05:46:29 I have added an instant chat feature to my blog. Just click the “Pop up my Tagboard” link just below the translation flags on the right. I decided not to add the full chat form for now but instead a pop up link so that it won’t clutter my page.
Comments are still the preferred way [...]
Preview: Figma Suzumiya Haruhi School Uniform Version 2008-02-22 20:32:50 Next in the figma line is Suzumiya Haruhi in school uniform. Different with the Saber figma, this one doesn’t really get my vote. Just look at her knees! It just doesn’t look very appealing.
Her face sculpt is pretty much like the full scale figure. Really good. And she comes with three different heads. Talk about [...] Read more:Preview

Preview: Kanu Uncho Kurushima Ver. 2008-03-14 03:47:55 Yes, you’re right. It’s yet another Kanu figure. This time it’s from Kurushima, in cold cast form. This Kanu comes in very battle-torn outfit with only a half of her school uniform top and a panty with lots of holes. -.-” Except for the face, I should say she is quite well made. I like [...] Read more:Preview
Figure News: Moeart Collection Amane Misa Red Ver. 2008-03-10 06:49:52 The famous Amane Misa from Death Note! This Jun Planning figure has just been released today. This is the third colour variation. The first and second being black and white respectively. I must admit she looks kinda gorgeous. I am tempted to get her but not so convinced with Jun Planning’s quality. This is a [...]
Preview: Lily Salvatana 2008-03-17 09:54:26 This is the first time I have seen this character. After some googling, she’s from a game I presume? My first impression is: she’s sexy! The colour seems a bit dull though. You do get this feeling of gloominess. For the face, Lily here looks wicked! Also, can one’s hair swirl up and down [...] Read more:Preview
Preview: Amane Shiratori 2008-03-19 08:12:54 Oh my! The figure that we have seen, heard, anticipated and so eagerly awaited (for me at least) from WF2008 is now available for pre-order! This is not quite the figure for everyone since it involves adult and erotic elements. Heck HobbySearch labeled it not for those under 18.
The chair looks detailed though. She seems [...] Read more:Preview

Suzumiya Haruhi 2008-03-20 21:31:43 My long overdue project. Decided to use the 2 days public holiday to get as many figure shoots as possible. The first of those is none other than Haruhi! Got her during the fourth re-issue. It’s kinda amazing isn’t it? A single figure with four reissues and each one is selling like hot cakes. No [...]
Asahina Mikuru 2008-03-23 05:41:37 The second part of my public-holiday-figure-shooting series is none other than the lovely Asahina Mikuru! Got her early this year from a restock. It was fortunate for me because she had long been sold out since her release in June 2007.
This Mikuru wear the battle-maid costume, as in the Haruhi-directed movie in the series [...]
Preview: Asahina Mikuru Annual School Festival Ver. 2008-03-25 02:53:52 Ground breaking news indeed. And it ends all speculation. The pre-order for Max Factory’s next Asahina Mikuru figure is finally up! From what we have seen before, she will feature in the waitress dress from the SchoolFestival
event, same as Tsuruya-san. And wow.. did she took my breathe away. Mikuru looks so moe!
Sigh, it [...] Read more:Preview

Asakura Ryouko 2008-03-24 21:30:22 Asakura Ryouko is in the same league as Nagato Yuki, who are both aliens to come over to Earth to watch over Suzumiya Haruhi. She may look like a decent student from the outside, but if you watched the anime, you will know what I mean ^^
I think I do not need to elaborate further [...]
Preview: Vita and Unison Vita 2008-03-30 09:29:10 I am not really into the Magical Nanoha series. But I have heard that Vita is one of the more cooler character in the anime. From what I can see, the main difference between these Vita and Unison Vita figures is only the colour of the dress. The other details, such as the pose, the [...] Read more:Preview

Preview: Benisu 2008-03-28 23:12:13 After Shinra, here comes Benisu. Benisu is the head maid and Shinra’s personal attendant in the game and anime “You are the Master, the Servant is Me”. If you watched the anime, you will know she has a very short temper. This figure by Good Smile showcases her in her usual maid dress. One the [...] Read more:Preview

My new idol! 2008-04-02 09:37:26 Saw this video over at SWATwolf’s blog. I have absolutely no idea whether I should laugh, cry, happy, sad, envy, angry, scold people, faint, throw myself away, quit figure collection, or whatever after seeing it..
But one thing for sure: I have finally found my idol! XD
Winter Sonata Anime 2008-04-02 03:00:52 Have you ever seen the famous Korean drama, “Winter Sonata

Preview: How to Live with Childhood Friend Nekomiya Nono 2008-03-31 21:41:31 This is one of those not-so-common figure with a not-so-common-and-exceptionally-long name. This figure depicts Nekomiya Nono while she is having a long bath. Not for everybody since she is practically naked. She does comes with a variety of bathroom accessories, such as shampoo, floating duck, etc. The environment in the bathroom is quite well made [...] Read more:Preview
