[My First]Lucky Star Meets Fate/Stay Nendoroid Review

zenical — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:19:20 +0000

I did a photoshoot today! Was thinking of doing this Lucky Star Nendoroid Set or to go along with the Pastel Ink from Moetan Nendoroid. I asked abao to vote, and he chose LS. So sorry guys if you were expecting Pastel Ink XD. Pastel Ink would be done sometime this week or early next week. We have to see the weather!

This is my first Nendoroid to my figurine collection, and also my first time buying from ebay. I got them from tokyohunter! He has auctions for some rather exclusive items, so you may consider checking his ebay store for WF items(I believe they are still there, hopefully XD)

Well then, let’s get on with the shots!

This Nendoroid Set is a Wonder Festival Exclusive. Retail price was at 5,000 yen. And was released during February 2008 at WF. So uh, can anyone tell me when was the online preorder of this set released? Lol.

Konata is Saber desu

Her head was kinda heavy, didn’t looked balanced from the back. =/

Lol I almost fell into the pool because of this shot XD

Kagami cosplays as Rin!

*Points*

O_O

Two of them together, with their different faces

Overall, I am very happy with this Nendoroid set. Though I paid around 80 USD for this set, I am very satisfied ^^. Of course, this being my first nendoroid purchase, the self-poisoning starts here too. Lol. I am hooked onto Nendoroids too ^_^”"

P.S:I would have gotten this post up sooner if my msn didn’t die for no reason. Kept restarting my computer to no avail. Lol.

1/8 Shana Max Factory Figurine Review

zenical — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:53:47 +0000

Finally did an outdoor shoot for my 1/8 Scale of Shana by Max Factory. She was sold out when she was released ^_^”" and I couldn’t find any other stores selling her. Just then, Hobby Search has been an angel to me. She was restocked! I managed to secure her and got her within one week. I didn’t open my Shana until today.. Also, this post is to help Q, because he seems to be having a problem with his Shana. And well, both of us got the figurine almost at the same time, so why not?

Figurine Shoot Location: Below my House

Pretty expensive for a tiny 1/8 figurine! Retail price for her was at 6,200 yen and was released back in November 2007.

Her hair is beautiful. Flaming-hair Shana ^^

While taking the above shot, there was Centipede Monster. I was too engrossed that Centipede Monster almost went onto her base!

Alastor! Pretty detailed if you ask me!

Had problem fitting her sword (Q, I had to adjust her hand slightly so that she could actually hold the sword in her hand, mine was almost like yours, perhaps you should try adjusting manually to solve your problem ^^)

Upskirt desu, sorry it isn’t in my nature, of a girl to take pantsu shot desu XD

First outdoor shoot >.< will try to improve! Till the next figurine review! ^^ Higher Resolution Pictures at the Gallery.

Figma 009 – Fate T Harlaown Review

zenical — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:55:12 +0000

This is my very FIRST figurine review. I lost my lighting, and because I didn’t want to delay the photoshoot, I just went ahead with the shoot x). Figma Fate comes with lots of weapons. Her Zanber is really long, makes me wonder whether I will bring everything along if I were to bring her out ^^

A black background is used for this photoshoot. Let the pictures do the talking!

Love the expression.

Her sword is too heavy for her! Or is the problem with my Fate’s hands?

Her barrier jacket is beautiful. Overall, Fate is better than Nanoha 10 times. =)

After editing all the shoots, I realised I only use this face for this particular pose! T_T

Last shot, with flash, thought I used the flash for once xD

I am very happy with Figma Fate. She was released in July 2008 and retailed at a price of 2,800 yen. Fairly reasonable for her, considering that she comes with many weapons form. And, she is afterall my Fave Character, so the biasness is there! =3.

For more shots, do take a look at my Gallery ^^
