zenical — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:12:34 +0000

Mika-tan updated her blog with preview images of the upcoming /8 scale Hattori Junko figure from anime series Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou.

This is a Hobby Japan mail exclusive. Preorders have started already.

I love the details of this figurine – and if you love Mio you will love this character too (since they’re voiced by the same seiyuu)!

Hobby Japan December 2008 Vol. 474

zenical — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:41:10 +0000

2nd time I’m buying Hobby Japan. I’m getting bored of the contents already – same old Gundam 00 models are being featured, and figurines doesn’t seem to impress me, probably because I saw all the previews previously (the Internet is a powerful database desu)

Many thanks to abao who helped me to purchase this magazine – I was too lazy to head out to TnT just to check whether I could buy the magazine XD. Likewise I got this magazine on Saturday, but procrastination is too powerful, I suck, but I’m finally sitting down and penning my thoughts down for this post.

Hobby Japan has some previews of the 1/100 Gundam 00 Gundam which will be released this month. Also we have an uncolored version of the O Riser(I have no freaking idea what the O Riser is for – according to M it’s like GN Arms etc)

HG 1/144 Cherudium Gundam, out last month. More shots of the Gundam itself to poison you into buying one! X)

Armored Core – like the design and build!

Lucky Star = More Poison! HHHHYAK!

Some Toaru Majutsu no Idex Figurines Previews, I want Index’s Figurine T_T.

1/100 MG Justice – me wants! T_T

Now I have to get back to my inflation graph before I doze off! =X
