Good Smile Company’s 1/8 Kanbaru Suruga

Finally found 2 new teaser photos for Good Smile Company’s 1/8 scale Kanbaru Suruga from Bakemonogatari. I really like Good Smile Company’s Hitagi with some really awesome details so I’m crossing my fingers that this will be a success as well. What I love about this figure is the props around her. Good Smile Company really leveled up this figure from their usual works with white bases. I’m also pretty optimistic that the price will be affordable and worth it considering the detail.

Tony Taka Notebook PC: A Must for all Tony fans

Last time it was a keyboard, but now it’s a gorgeous PC with the artworks of none other than Tony Taka. This will be the official PC of Tony with a choice of 2 covers: A gothic loli which is thankfully tame or an original character of Tony wearing a red swimsuit which might be a little embarrassing to bring outside home. Both laptops look absolutely beautiful with it’s neat and simple theme.

Spring 2011 Anime List: What Catches My Eye

This list is pretty much late but I’m still posting it anyway. I’m pretty impressed with the list this season because of the variety of genre’s and interesting plots. You can check out moetron blog to be the first one to be updated with the release of each anime and information. I’ll be commenting and talking about just some of the titles that looks pretty interesting and possibly worth watching for me. I really enjoy comedy and ecchi titles so forgive me if I’m biased here.

KyoAni’s 1/8 Azusa Nakano

Majority of K-ON! fans definitely did not expect this Azusa Nakano figure to be release since their last K-ON! figures consisted of the girls in their Don’t Say Lazy (ending credits of K-ON!) outfit and Azu-nyan was not yet introduced in that ending. I’m actually happy that Kyoto Animation did this figure since I felt that the gang was not complete without her. I am actually impressed with the quality of each of KyoAni’s figures and I will be expecting the other members of the band to be released in their 2nd ending costumes.

Kotobukiya’s 1/8 Kaguya

Another Tony Taka figure? Well, of course…the Shining Hearts game will be released soon. I’m not surprised that another beautiful figure designed by Tony was released since I absolutely adore his work. The only problem I fear though is the quality of how Kotobukiya will make this figure but since their recent figures look pretty good besides their Touhou Project line which has a disappointing face. Other than that, I wouldn’t worry much about the outcome of Kaguya.

Hobby Japan’s 1/8 Hakurei Reimu

Sorry Griffon and all the large figure manufacturers who has attempted to make a Hakurei figure but I honestly think that Hobby Japan did their magic again with this stunning 1/8 scale figure of Hakurei Reimu from Touhou Project. The figure was originally a garage kit by Sakura Zensen. No other information about her although I’m hoping she won’t be an exclusive.

I can’t be so sure about the final outcome of the figure since I seen a lot of figures look great in the unpainted preview but have second thoughts after seeing the completed figure so I’ll always be looking twice after more previews arrive. So far, this first preview is really eye catching for me and the pose is gorgeous especially with those little shrine props.

New Year Resolutions, Anyone?

2011 is gonna be a blast~~

First of all…Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! I thought that my Christmas and New Year spirit would be lost but thankfully I still felt it thanks to my family. 2010 felt really fast and I think it’s because time flies faster when you’re having fun! A lot of good things happened this 2010….Finally starting to build up my large figure collection, being more conscious about the things I wear, and a lot more! I do believe that 2011 will be a better year for me since I have gained so much knowledge this 2010.

Max Factory’s Figma Mirai Suenaga Finally Opens for Orders

Mirai means Future~~

Finally the moment has arrived for figma collectors and those who just love reading Danny Choo’s site to finally get his sites mascot, Mirai Suenaga in Figma form. Danny Choo really shows his excitement and passion for making this awaited figure thru the different updates he has posted in his blog and even mentioning her status in his show, Culture Japan.

I personally adore this Figma because it has such beautiful accessories and a very cute face. I think the mini camera and laptop were inspired by the same accessories Danny’s dolls use in many photoshoots of his.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010

Dare to Continue~~

Probably the most anticipated fashion show for girls and guys (yes, guys watch this for entertainment~). The Victoria’s Secret fashion show happened sometime the first week of November but aired on TV on November 30 2010.

I used to think this event was for girls only and it still is for but a lot of men like watching this too like myself. You’d usually think that people attend this event to only see half naked goddesses walking around but the costumes and music (I knew a lot of great music thanks to the show~) blend really great together.

The show itself has different kinds of themes every year except for Pink which is a colorful line that is showcased every year. This year the themes were Tough Love which showcased costumes with strong personalities, Country Girls which showed simple farm life, Wild Things which featured costumes inspired by wild life and the African spirit (rawr~), and Game On which simply shows costumes inspired by different kinds of sports and physical activities….. So enough about me raving about the show, here’s some screenshots of the event….

Miku Hatsune’s English Version Officially Announced!

The World Is Miku’s~~

The moment finally arrived when  Miku will be getting her english voice! Miku Hatsune’s official facebook page confirmed that people are already working for Miku’s english voice with a demo to be released soon.

♪Official information of English Miku♪
Regarding “English Miku” project, we’ve already done a brief recording last week. Now we are checking the pronunciation etc. Those voices are very kawaii you should like them! I hope we’ll show you a demo soon. But please understand it takes time. I’ll keep you informedanything new for this project.

I’m sure this will be anticipated by many but I’m a bit unsure if this will top Miku’s angelic Japanese voice. I still do have high hopes for the new project. This is another really great Christmas treat for all the Vocaloid fans!
