Oh man the World of Warcraft Expansion Burning Crusades was crazy! I was at work from 11 pm - 2am, I got home at 2:55 am I needed to be up by 7 am! so I decided to forget it and just play my Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for the next 2 and a half hour, I feel like crap now I'm at school all beaten up (sigh) By the time I got through the afternoon. I was biting myself just to prevent me from falling asleep. It was a painstaking task just to get through my Medical Terminology class.
Any who here I am with a couple of minutes to spare, I thought I might bring a new figurine just to recover from the repercussions that we endured with the 1/7 scale Meg made by Yamato. Today I bring you the Chitose Nambu figurine from the anime "Amaenaideyo" Its a more towards the ecchi type of anime very funny. Its a bout a monk who can transform into a super monk performing mass exorcism with lust! interested yet? I bet you are! Any who you all are fortunate enough to see one of the characters being reviewed today.
So lets get started, It was very visible that she had interchangeable articles of clothing. What gave me a spook was that it was so hard to put it on and off, for instance, I thought I was going to snap the upper part of the body just trying to remove the head in order to change the top she had going at the moment. Taking the top wasn't easy either as you pull the shirt off her arms you get the feeling that it was going to rip. Lucky for me that material was very durable and can with stand a good stretch. the midway section of her skirt where there was a sort of rubbery plastic material that over lap her belt was quiet annoying when putting on a new top, most of the time it got in the way. Preventing me from putting and locking the top on with the little arms that go through the holes. Her skirt was really annoying as the slightest rumble will cause her to tip over, Wished they'd done something about that.
Other then that the figurine prove fantastic. I was really impressed with the nice base it came with as well it was a brown and resembled a wooden flooring, I don't know about you but when you've seen so many crappy transparent or black and brown stands it gets really old really fast and just a little design on em' really puts a smile on my face seeing that you actually did something more. One thing that definitely stands out on this figure is her eyes some say its too big I say its true to the anime look and I happen to like that. Her top can be exposed and from a distance it looks like its not made of plastic at all but something you can actually squeeze, unfortunately when up close you can tell its made of plastic but hey! what ever makes it look even more presentable. If you wanna satisfy your need for good figurine I say definitely pick this one up before its all gone!





































Bottom line I'd have to give this figurine a 8 out of 10 because of the interchangeable parts that you can play around with no crappy painting residue, a nice stand, and something to entertain the boy in all of us.

While I was listening to "Learning Korean" audio tapes I suddenly had a craving for Lee Seung Gi, I know, I know. Your probably thinking what do you mean craving? well just thought it would be nice to listen to him so I'm looking up this one song called "Because I said you're my girl" on Youtube and I ran into one of his videos from his second album. It's ok but I thought it seems too similar to his first music video...well you guys decide hope you enjoy it. By the way the son is called "Words that are hard to say"

Schools almost back and I've been either too lazy or too busy to post the goodies, any who after resting the whole day I figured I'd bring you, Meg. Now my Sei figure won't be so lonely...Unfortunately I was really disappointed at Meg. If you have read the Sei review, the you would know I had given her a 7 out 10 rating. Now if I were to put Sei and Meg side by side it would be an over kill for Sei. I would definitely give her a 9 out 10 compare to Meg. Why you ask? Ok lets break it down.
When I had gone and purchase her I can already tell something was wrong, The tanning on her breast leg and arm, were too red I know she wears a very tight outfit but I think they over did the skin color on the body parts I had just pointed out. By the way the last 4 photos gives you a closer look on the disappointment to expect. Meg's bracelet seem to have left a nasty black paint that I can't take off and its very irritating, I don't know what to cover the ridiculous lining that separates her hand and forearm or the black paint mark that was left behind! Her skirts strings or knot looks like it was painted by a baboon, not to mention the little plastic crumples that was left all over the legs it looks like crap seriously. I really did not expect so much crap from Yamato, another thing is when you look at her from the side it looks so fake big tits and very thin abdomen...is she anorexic? the base is transparent nothing special about it.
Covering all the disappointment about this figure let's move on to the good stuff...(yawns)...(looks at his watch)...yup...any minute now...well she has a hat and a rack to go with it...does that count?

























The Disappointment...









I really don't think Meg deserves this score but I really can't do anything about it. No thanks to Yamato, I hope you guy better man up and start to make things right, Meg pretty much takes home a 4 out of 10...it shouldn't even be in the display case.

I just got back from work, I don't know whats up today I mean I was late going to work because of some accident in the Metro rail, now someone is being chased by the cops at LBTC. What a day, What a day well least I got to snag me a little something I want...Yup! thats right thats pretty much a promo stand of Link from the Twilight Princess game. How did I get it, well lets just say it pays to go to work, specially if you guys are redecorating. Like it? any who the figurines on the bottom are specially just for ya'll to talk a look at I'll be posting them soon when I get the time. Hopefully by upcoming week, In any case today was a good day the Ignis PVC I had order came in...22 days later hahahaha! SAL shipping is so scary takes that long to be delivered! 7-45 days! amazing! Thank you so much HLJ by the way Happy 10th anniversary to you guys! well theres more to come for you crazy fans of mines, I'll keep you posted, till then I'll be seeing ya!

Hey everyone, sorry about putting you on hold yesterday I had a pretty busy schedule...sort of hahahaha but I was out the whole time or playing Hitman: Blood Money, any who today I'm going to review the 1/6 scale Saber Swimsuit edition. I'm sure most of you guys have heard of Fate/Stay Night, If well if you haven't heard of it yet Saber is one of the leading characters in the series. I urge you to go buy the anime you won't be disappointed. I was browsing through some figurines yesterday at F&S and I happen to run into Saber, meaning to buy it for sometime now I quickly picked it up and purchased it. Hours later here I' am with another review for you all.
As you guys have come to know me, let's go ahead and start with its flaws...which isn't very much might I add. Well one critical complain I have on this figure is that the holes on the soles of her feet does not fit correctly, I practically had to hammer her down to the base which is a translucent sky blue color, which I like by the way. Another thing while I was slaving to get her on the base I found a dark dirt or smudge on the left leg didn't appreciate that but I got it off with a Q tip. I don't know about you but I felt as if they could have done a little more touch up on the ribbons or bows on the side of her hip, Other then that shes practically flawless.
Now onto the goods, This is by far one of the best sabers on the market no smidgetty smudges during the paint job body looks great. Her pose is realistic and cute, naturally ready for a photo shoot might I add. Very detailed I just love it! If you had to ask, this is pretty much keeps us collectors pumping with joy. her lefts are very detailed and silky smooth upper body is in tip top shape down to the last natural groove! and her finger nails are done really well. Her hands can hold practically anything as you can see in the pictures, I made her the new model for anchor blue hehehehehe, Good cologne Good figure what more can you need.

Bottom line I'd have to give her a 9 out of 10

Pros
Detailed body
Face is as close to the anime as you can get
Base looks great
Comes with a plush doll of her and the crushed ice maker
legs, upper body, and abdomen looks phenomenal

Cons
Dirt on sole of feet
Difficult to put on base

Let me start of by saying, I enjoyed a day without having to work like everyone else. Any who what I bring you today is one of the 4 Burst Angel figures released so far, aside from Jo and Meg as well as Amy, mostly made by Alter Sei is the first I've bought so far. I do believe there are a lot of people giving her a bad review, I don't want to say I'm one of them but she is far from flawless, but let's not forget there are a couple of features that I applaud.

Lets begin with the obvious, which are her flaws. Firs thing I couldn't help but notice when I pulled her out of the box was her left shoulder the plastic molding isn't very well made. Another is her lower left leg, hmm...I don't have to be a professional to point out that the paint work on her left left is disgusting, what seems to be a slit in her pants to reveal flesh, has really turned out to look more like a flesh wound or something the black or grayish black paint has smeared on over the thigh very unprofessional. The base that she came in was really plain and has no kind of trademark nor design, just a typical brown color and glossy, not much to look at. A big complain I have about Sei is that when I was putting her on the stand you practically have to move both legs apart to fit it in to the base and the loud plastic squeals does not help I felt as if it was Thanksgiving all over again and me breaking a wishbone.

Since I've covered most of the bad, let's move on to the good, I like the fact that she seems two faced if you stare at her from the right she looks very lady like and from the left she shows a more masculine side, I found this a rather amusing combination. Probably about as amusing as her upside down bra, raising so much question on how she gets around without them falling out? Sei offers one of the best abdominal section I've seen, If you ever run into this figure take a good look at her abs and tell me thats not one of the best you've seen around the belly button is a great touch looks real clean. Her cloak has a nice touch with a burst of wind blowing, for me that just adds a more natural anime look. Others would probably disagree but I like it.

Over all I'd have to say shes an average figure rating a 7 out of 10, nothing more nothing less.

Pros
Detailed Abs and Cloaks
Nice looking chest
Sei features a sort of Bifacial look

Cons
Hard to put on the base, feels as if your going to break her
The painting on the left thigh looks awful
Molding isn't all that great

Oops Almost forgot today I stopped by Best Buy to purchase a Laptop for my mom, sorry I don't really have a picture of the store since I was foolish enough to leave my memory card in the drive at home in my desktop. I was smart enough to bring the camera though...just shows how absent minded I'am from time to time. Any who I got a great deal $603 tax included for a decent laptop cd and dvd drive readers and writers , 80 GB or should I say 60GB because of all the junk that they preloaded into it. By the way that Best Buy that I had stopped at had a junk load of PS3, guess nobody wants them...
