1/4 Nanoha Takamachi Swimsuit Ver. PVC by Good smile company
I'll be honest, I don't really like the idea of buying reissues so whenever a figure I want completely sells out, usually the only other way to get a copy is to wait for one to show up on the second hand market. It has something to do with my mentality of getting the first one, that being said it really stinks up whenever I found out after searching how and low for something, I later find that the company has made a reissues, it totally invalidates all my previous effort and sort of cheapens the figure I spent so much trying to acquire.....
AFA 2011 day 2 (event + cosplay report)
Today’s event was just as awesome except now all the exhibits were open as well as the main stage events! The crowd was even bigger than yesterday’s one. It would still be a while before the doors open so instead we went around checking out the cosplay scene and let me this is one of the best years’ yet
(more…)
AFA 2011 day 2 report will be delayed…..
I’m sorry but I won’t be able to upload the photos until I get back to KL next week because there is just way to many photos to process. My poor iPad can’t take the stress! So instead here I have a photo of the first of many loot! Hahahah managed to finally find it after missing it the last time!
Magical girl lyrical Nanoha: Takamachi Nanoha school uniform by Alter
When I first saw this go up for preorder at play-Asia, I knew instantly I had to have her in my collection! No, I’m not a lolikon! Though this is rather different from the usual figures I have collected as it’s modest figure but that is what makes me want it even more!
1/7 Tosaka Rin “Unlimited Blade works” by Good Smile Company
I finally have time to do a proper review of this figure and I’m so glad I spent the whole day doing the photo shoot properly. For those wondering when did I get this figure, refer to here. This figure so far in my opinion is well worth the extra effort although I couldn’t find a good background to shoot with it.
A little background on how I came by this figure, when it was first announced for pre-order I gave it a pass because I knew the price would be well out of my range but then a Hobby Search offered a 20% discount for it and I leaped for it and the rest as they say is history! So how much did I really save? When compared to local price of RM400, after conversion to Ringgit from Yen, I got the figure at Rm350 inclusive of shipping! So yeah! I really am glad I did get this one!
Though I do find one thing odd, most PVC figures comes in the usual sizes of 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, and some even in 1/12 but 1/7? Whatever the reason, the important thing is GSC did the figure justice!
Medicom toy RAH Ayanami Rei (Evangelion 2.0) 1/6 scale.
For the pass few weeks, its been raining sometimes for the whole day which is why I haven’t done any outdoor photography for a long time now.
Though that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything at all. Instead I’m taking it as an opportunity to brush up and clear out the backlog of figure shoots that’s been slowly increasing. So I figured let’s try something different and shoot a posable figure this time.
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1/6 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Action Figure: Asuka Langley (Plug Suit Version)
This will be the last figure review of 2010 and what better way to end the year with then with the final Asuka figure I have that has yet to be reviewed. Truth be told I still have a lot of figures I want to do photo reviews for, but I just haven’t been able to motivate myself into getting around to them.
Alter Kos-Mos swimsuit version 1/6
I know this is long overdue but I had some time recently so I decided to finally do a short photoshoot for this figure. I also decided to try something new by using skylight bulbs for this shoot along with my flash. In retrospect I should have gone with the old light tent I usually use. But heck it was a good learning experience.
Creators Labo #026 Neon Genesis Evangelion Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Soryu Asuka Langley
Here's another figure review, this one came during the weekend I was in Singapore for AFA X (so I guess that technically makes it 2 Asuka on the same weekend). I'm starting to see a very dangerous obsession with Asuka.
Asuka Sohryu Langley Maid version by Kotobukiya 1/7
Today I'll be reviewing one of my purchases from AFA X. I had been looking for this Asuka for a while now when I came by it during AFA X. This is the original red maid outfit version which I feel was a lot better than the yellow outfit that was later released as a special limited edition. As it keeps in line with the Asuka's fiery temper. The yellow one felt like it lacked the associate of the outfit with the personality of the wearer.
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 2
Date: 13th November 2010
Saturday…..the second day of AFA X…..if I had to describe how did this day go I guess it could best be summed up in 1 word, it would be “AWESOME!”
After CrossChannel finally arrived last night, we all decided to turn in for the night without delay as both of us were dead tired. Although the next morning I found him diligently working on his notebook @_@…..
I had initially wanted to update about the event at night but the internet at the hotel was total crap, it was nothing like what I had heard about from people who had reviewed about the hotel and it was not cheap either, SGD 5 for 2 hours of Internet connection. It was a total ripoff!
We both quickly made our way to Suntech convention hall thinking we would be early and the crowd wouldn’t be too big, oh how wrong we both were >_<
Figure Review: Asuka 1/6 Test plugsuit by Kotobikuya PVC
While the box looked okay and undamaged but....
I finally have one of the new Asuka figure released this year in conjunction with the release of the the second movie. This one was made by Kotobukiya~! I’m rather a big fan of their PVC figures.
It had actually arrived a week earlier but I’m always at work during the day so Saturday was the only time they could send it. I could have picked it up myself after work but because the office where they are located is near SEGI university I opt not to as traffic there is always congested regardless of the time and weather.
Now the package looked alright externally and the fact I sent via Fedex but this is Malaysia we’re talking about here and it just wouldn’t be Malaysia if the content didn’t get messed up a little.
Like how the Malaysian government treat their citizens…..XD
But I digress, I’ll save the political jokes and insults for another article…
Yup. Gainax is trying to rob me blind XD
More reasons why I will be broke by October 2010. When are they going to make a Rei version?!
They are trying to steal my money! By making me buy figures by Alter and Kotobukiya!!!
Damn them! The fiends!! XD
Seriously this one looks sweet!
Decisions, decisions, which one should I get?!
Rebuild of Evangelion 1/6 Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Makinami Mari review
Makinami Mari illustrious
Okay for those who missed the arrival story of this new figure, you can check it out here. Anyway moving on, now that Gainax have decided to “rebuild” their much loved Evangelion series with 4 new planned movies (2 have already been made with the third one soon), they hope to re-work some of the element to further improve what was already a wonderfully told story. Among these improvements planned was the introduction of a new characters named Makinami Mari.
April loot report.
The 3 new figures with Rin presenting...

Kos-mos 1/4 figure from HobbyFan
At last! The final piece has arrived and Kosmos here is COMPLETE! BWahahahaahahahaahahah! (cue loud thunder clap).
Once again. One day…….
One day while the master was out, Rin was playing monsters and sword with Oreo. “Back foul beast! Les you taste the cold steel of my sword!” She shouted
“Woof!!!!” the beast charged.
One day….
One day when the master wasn't home yet,Rin was playing adventurer when she stumbled upon a box in the living room.
Loot from Operation Chiaki…
As promised here is the loot report. You didn’t think after 30 days plus in Japan I wouldn’t have bought anything? Well most of it are just books that can’t be found in Malaysia due to censorship controls or are just plain rare!
Everything was shipped back via EMS at the total cost of 22,300 yen which is about GASP! RM830! Still cheaper than paying the overweight fine at the airport (it would have been about Rm2,000).
Okay let’s get to the detail item list…..
Operation Chiaki: Day 30, 31 and 32 (Tokyo Akihabara)
Well all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow I’ll be heading off back to Malaysia. This is only a small sample of what I’ve bought so far. Once I get back, I’ll do a full loot report 
Operation Chiaki: Day 25 (Tokyo)
I’m in Tokyo and what is the first thing I do? After checking in at 2pm, I head down to gamers to pick up the latest issue of Young ace so I could get the figure included with it.
