Some Witch...I Don't Know.

Long time no blog! sorry...lately there has been a problem with me and blogspot. i had a tough time trying to access the site and posting contents and the picture upload tends to fail. im using the 3G modem so im guessing that the heavy rain lately interferes with the signal and thus creating the problem. i was able to elleviate this matter today by reducing the size of the pic and constantly refreshing and clearing internet files =_=;

but enough about that, here is a cute little witch figure ^^ hmm i bought this fig cus i thought i could use it to learn drawing cute characters...i dont know whsich anime or game it belongs to (if you know please enlighten me..) but in the end, it didnt help at all ^^;;

the head is kinda heavy...so i had to rely on the display base to stand it up properly. there is a great amount of detail though, especially the book shes holding. the printings on the book is very small yet you can still read it. i like the floating effects on the book too.






SEE YOU NEXT DECULTURE!

The Materia Hunter (Thief?)

Ladies and gentlemen...THE EGO HAS LANDED! haha i got this figurine this week. It's Yuffie Kisaragi from FFVII Advent Children Play Arts. the main feature of this figurine is that it comes with over 22 (25 in total!) articulation points at your disposal making it fully poseable any way you want. sounds fun? *silly grin*

the first good thing about this figurine is the packaging. Again, it looks great in the box, making you feel really recluctant to take it out. aww.... so i have to open it really carefully to preserve the box.



(Note: Please pretend you dont see my shirts ^^;;)





Note that after you take her out of the box, you'll need to have her do some "exercise" first to soften the joints. only then it will be easier for you to pose her.



She comes with her cool trademark giant shuriken, 2 extra hands (fisted) and a display base for high-flying poses.



Yuffie meets her senior. and then there was two haha.


MORE WITH YUFFIE...



Yuffie steps out of the box.




Yuffie: "Like this?"
Nida: "Almost, kid. Heheh."




"FORWARD!"




On a mountain of manga ^^;




A classic FFVII pose of Yuffie.




Yuffie: "Man, this is the biggest scale Gunpla i have ever built!"
Nida: "You need help?"




*Special thanks to K-Rule


SEE YOU NEXT DECULTURE!

Nida Gallery

I took Nida to Nikolai's place the other day for a proper photo shoot session.















Whoops! For more photos of what we did with Nida that day, please go to Nikolai's Blog HERE.

Niiidaaaa~~~! <3 XD

Now that my test is finally over i finally got the chance to pick this baby up... (shud've done so 2 weeks ago) ta-daaaahh~~!! meet my new girlfriend, Nida! jk :P i wanted this figurine so bad since i first saw it on dannychoo site early this year... and now shes standing right before me haha ^^



this figure never fails to impress...at first i feel really recluctant to take it out of the box seeing how well and neat the packaging is. but what the hell...i have to take her out to make most of her, right?



she comes with tons of extra parts and she is fully cast-offable. just like any other figurine she is neatly wrapped in plastic seal...to fully remove it i had to separate her into pieces. then, i have to reassemble her again...which is quite a pain since its new, the parts seems so tight. i have to be extra careful and make sure that the "Strike Rouge Incident" doesnt happen again.







after i took her out of the box, then i started to see how detail Nida is...she is indeed amazing! ^^ her face looks so pretty and her uniform and equipment are so well crafted. you can stare at her all day long haha. along with the figurine there are also a character booklet and an audio drama cd...but i'll get to that later.



hmm but not all is perfect, right? Nida does has some issues of her own...the first one that bugs me the most is the rifle. somehow, its really hard to mount it on her hand! her uniform somehow gets in the way! >.< again, looking at the Strike Rouge reminds me never to try too hard...there is a manual but it doesnt help much.

but its not totally impossible though. the only way i can equip her rifle is when i put her alternate damage costume or strip her down to her lingeries ^^; the uniform is also hard to connect but after a while, the PVC kinda soften a little and the problem seems gone.



overall, im super-satisfied with this fig! ^^ its definitely worth the buy. i enjoy having her on my desk haha. and no, i didnt put her on her stand. i prefer her standing with her own two legs it seems natural. it can also avoid leaning. its great that the figure is stable enough to do so.





Oh, and sorry for the poor picture quality! ^^;

Dissidia Final Fantasy Trading Arts

No explanation is required here, i'll let all the pictures do the talking haha. Recently Square-Enix released these set of collectibles in conjunction with the release of their Dissidia titles onto the PSP. It comes in a set and you cant buy them separately...(bummer!) So, which one do you like? ^^

Eyes Spinning, Mouth Drooling....

Recently i've been window shopping a lot on the internet. Mostly on hobby sections.
The latest item to caught my attention was this figure of Yagami Hayate from ALTER.
The character is taken from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers (such a mouthtfull name to say... =_=;)

But 'nuff said! Despite the series name, the figure is a knockout! I'm amazed by the attention of details that they've put into this figurine here...just look at the detail on the character's little fairy sidekick... Is that just amazing or what?



The hat can be removed to give the figure a bit cast-off effects. The emotion of the characters is very well potrayed.

Yagami Hayate
Manufacturer : Alter
Material : PVC
Release : October 2008

Hmmm....

I feel like wanna sell my Strike Rouge and start my collection from the beginning again...



So, anyone interested in buying a used MG Strike Rouge? I'll sell it for RM 65.
That includes everything from box, launching base, Cagalli figurine etc... :D

The Sky Crawlers

Sky Crawlers is the latest anime from Production I.G (the guys behind Ghost in the Shell & Blood+) The concept of the anime seems interesting, with great plane mecha design that looks like warped WWII jet fighters.



Bandai recently release an EX model of 2 of the main fighter plane in the anime. The one that caught my attention the most was this Sanka Mark B. It looks cool, eh? :D

MG Strike + Sword & Launcher Pack

Is this what you were talking about, Lance? Hmmm...it sure looks tempting...especially the Sword Striker Pack. Combined with Rouge Aile Striker (once i fixed it...grrr), maybe i'll have enough set to create Super Strike Gundam!

MG Strike Rouge pt. 2

Hmmm without the left wing, my MG Strike Rouge sure looks "cacat"...

Ah, what the hell. Lets just consider it as battle effect. Imagine an enemy shooting at it and hits its wing....imagine. T.T

HG 1/100 Freedom Gundam

I bought this HG 1/100 Freedom last year. I was gonna buy the MG version actually but unfortunately it was sold out. So i bought this one instead.

Im pretty satisfied by the way it looks. Unfortunately it lacks articulation point, making it hard to pose :(

MG Strike Rouge Broken Part

Here is the broken part of my MG strike Rouge's striker pack. The wing hinges in the green circle is broken in half and i cant mount it on the striker pack. What worries me the most is that the part may be too small to be glued back again.

If there is a spare part available, please inform me. Thanks ^^

MG Strike Rouge

Here's my MG Strike Rouge. Of all my Gunplas, I like this one the most. I'm a big fan of Strike Gundam due to its rugged design, and the fact that it can be equipped with 3 different assault systems.

Looking at the picture above, you must've noticed the absence of Aile Striker Pack on its back. Unfortunately, while assembling the kit, i broke the hinges on the left wing.

Do you know any best way for fixing broken gundam parts? A friend recommend me to use Tamiya Cement... but maybe theres someone out there willing to sell spare parts? What do you think?
