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
January 15, 2011Last 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
January 9, 2011This 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
January 8, 2011Majority 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
January 6, 2011Another 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
January 5, 2011Sorry 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?
January 2, 2011First 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.
