Alicesoft 20th Anniversary Project: Alice 2010

by Wolfheinrich on Nov.21, 2009, under Eroge PC Game, Otaku Home screen

It felt like it’s been forever since the last time I talk about eroge game now, perhaps it has to do with the fact that the last Illusion game Yuusha Kara Wa Nigerarenai was too much of a failure for me to even spend any time on it.  Anyway, what I am going to talk about this time is the Alicesoft 20th Anniversay Project: Alice 2010.  The same company that brought us awesome games such as Mamatoto, Beat Angel Escalayer, Sengoku Rance, Daiakuji, Big Bang Age, Beat Blade Haruka and Toushin Toshi 3.

I have been a fan of Alicesoft games for many many years now, most of their games are very fun to play, challenging and require some level of fluency in Japanese before you can play effectively, not to mention most of their heroines are drop dead gorgeous!  Every now and then, Alicesoft would do a fandisk release call the Alice Mansion, which contain a collection of omake stuff, songs, short stories etc.  The year 2010 is Alicesoft’s 20th anniversary and they have prepared to go with a bang!  Let’s take a brief look at what they have to offer!

Here we have Alicesoft’s mascot, Alice in her modern look; she has received many face lifts over the past 20 years or so, and needless to say, she is still one of the most kawaii eroge game company mascot around!

Volks Doll Party 22 & White Album Dollfie Dream

by Wolfheinrich on Nov.15, 2009, under Dollfie Dream, Otaku Home screen

I have let myself gone a tad lazy for the past couple of days, I have been wanting to write an article about PVC figure aging based on suggestions from blogging comrade blowfish, but alas, I am still procrastinating over it because I have been mostly occupied by the news of Dolpa 22 and the new White Album Dollfie Dream releases~

A bunch of us in the flickr group have started to speculate over what Dollfie Dream might be coming out in the winter doll party, the first clue we had came about a little over a week ago when we found out about the White Album webpage that didn’t have any images on it at the time, however, as more information became available, the White Album Dollfie Dream were not due to come out in this upcoming Dolpa but instead a web order exclusive project similar to that of the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann DD Project.

Initially, I was very hesitant about the story of White Album after reading some online review about it, but my mind began to sway when I was presented with the project image…. these are some really good Dollfie Dream candidates… and at the very minimum, these idol style clothing would fit my Dollfie Dream daughters very well!  After a few more conversation with a few figure.fm members, I decided I have to at learn about Rina and Yuki despite the fact that I may not be very interested in the plot of the story (based on my understanding thus far, the main protagonist is a real prick…. all of the guys were real prick…, why… I want to read about some decent/hotblood guy doing his best, not a real prick getting involved in multiple women!).  Anyway, I have already decided to at least see what kind of girls 森川 由綺 Morikawa Yuki and 緒方 理奈 Ogata Rina are, then so be it.

1/4 Uesugi Kenshin E2046 Gathering version

by Wolfheinrich on Nov.08, 2009, under Otaku Home screen, Other Figures, Photo Shoot & Review

A few days ago, blogsphere comrade Tier celebrated his acquisition of the rare and limited edition of pre-painted version of the 1/4 Uesugi Kenshin from Volks A-brand.  I promised him to take a few pictures of my own 1/4 Gathering version for him to compare the finishing quality between the two.  That reminded me, I never quite taken pictures of my 1/4 army, might as well take this chance to snap a few pics eh?

For those of you who are not familiar just who this Uesugi Kenshin is, please take a look at one of my earlier post for the 1/5 Uesugi Kenshin Freeing version.  In 2007, in a survey done by Tech Gian, Kenshin narrowly defeated Saber from Fate Stay Night to become the most popular eroge game heroine of the year.  Enough talking, let’s dig in~

As usual, click on pictures to show full scale image~

I picked up this Kenshin a few years ago, obviously I haven’t gotten in Dollfie Dream then.  I have always treasured this Kenshin as the most elegant painted figure I have ever owned, like a goddess descended from heaven.

1/4 Fate T. Harlaown Swimsuit version Good Smile Company

by Wolfheinrich on Nov.07, 2009, under Otaku Home screen, Other Figures, Photo Shoot & Review

Seems like I have been making Dollfie Dream related posts a lot recently, so let’s break it up with something else~ What we have here is the 1/4 Fate T. Harlaown Swimsuit version that just arrived at the door today, I have been longing for this figure to pair her up with the previously released 1/4 Nanoha.  I wasted little time to take her out of the box and set her up for a photo shoot.

Img0792

From the story stand point I personally prefer Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s but I have to say I am more attracted to the mature Fate in the StrikerS series~ It’s ok to say that right? Haha

Dollfie Dream Sasara X Dollfie Dream Sasara

by Wolfheinrich on Nov.05, 2009, under Dollfie Dream, Otaku Home screen

A few days ago I have briefly mentioned in figure.fm that my 2nd Sasara from Volks USA lottery was due to arrive in a few days, well, today is the day. But why do I have a 2nd Sasara? Am I crazy? Madness? Insane? No, I had legitimate reason to do that, well, before Dollfie Dream Gathering announced that they are releasing DDDy body as a standard item that is. And to make a long story short, I am willing to consider putting up my 2nd Sasara up for adoption since there is no strong reason I have to keep her as parts anymore and I would much rather have someone who missed out on their chance to get their own Sasara to become her new parent.  And on top of there, a few figure.fm members have exhibited interest in adopting Sasara from me so I am writing this post to offer this chance to everyone to figure.fm and readers of my own blog.

It is my duty to find her a new loving home so I can’t just let her to go to any random family, definitely no to Dollfie Dream Sharks or Dollfie Dream Molester :P

(You may also notice there is also a Dollfie Dream Louise in the package, but she is not for me, I am holding her for a friend I owe a favor to for the next 6 months).

Dollfie Dream Family Photo + DD Gathering Update + OTACOOL

by Wolfheinrich on Oct.31, 2009, under Dollfie Dream, Otaku Home screen

I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the “surprise element” deadline >.>;;;  Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party… but why should I do that?  Well, I originally did that because I have no spare parts for DDDy body, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick up a 2nd DDDy body… of course DD Gathering released DDDy body as normal item, so that blew my plan out of the water.  But I kept my silence and was hoping to introduce Sasara in the Dollfie Dream Theater as a surprise character, however, Volks USA announced yesterday that they have begun sending Sasara to USA lottery winners >.>; exactly a month earlier than what they had promised.. so my so called surprised plan is not going to work anymore >.>;  So, there isn’t any reason for me to hold on to this group photo anymore.

Img0705

I was hoping to be able to pick up Natsuki and use this photo to celebrate the arrival of 10th daughter, but most of you already knew that didn’t work out too well since DD Gathering open web order is ruthless to anyone outside of Japan.

I included the “original” Asuka oneesan in this photo because it fit the screen better this way~  It took me quite a bit of time to balance every daughters and have them sit where I want them to be @.@;

As usual, click on the image to bring up the full scale image stored in my flickr account.  I really love how the photos turns out with my Nikon D5000 and my light umbrella set from Cowboy Studio.

Happy Halloween Girl (NSFW)

by Wolfheinrich on Oct.30, 2009, under Otaku Home screen, Other Figures

Happy Halloween everyone~ While I may not be much of a Halloween person, but for the sake of the festivity spirit, I decided to take one of my Halloween costume figure for a little photo shoot, and a slight departure from my usual habit, there will be a NSFW image which will be hidden under a spoiler tag.  Without further ado, let’s get to it!

This is a painted resin figure that I acquired a few years ago around Halloween time, while I usually don’t buy figure without proper background story, I made up an excuse that she is a Halloween figure and therefore doesn’t require a background story!

Img0769

The neat thing about this figure was her magnetic cast off features and the blinking pumpkin, it’s difficult to see the pumpkin lid up with the setting right now but we will get to it in a bit~

Dollfie Dream Airi ~ Infernal Tempter ~ Photo Shoot

by Wolfheinrich on Oct.28, 2009, under Dollfie Dream, Otaku Home screen, Photo Shoot & Review

It’s been a few days since Airi arrived at my residence, and I have to admit that I have grown to like her more and more as each day gone by.  So it’s natural that I put together a photo shoot for her with a proper background~ I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do :)

The first order of business, is to recreate the pose I deemed the sexiest Airi PVC figure to-date.

Img0750

I think I managed to get pretty close, I had to try several times to get her legs to position like this.

Ninth Dollfie Dream Daughter-Dollfie Dream Airi’s Arrival~

by Wolfheinrich on Oct.24, 2009, under Dollfie Dream, Otaku Home screen, Other Figures

I have been waiting for this day to come for the past 2 weeks or so, my 9th daughter, Dollfie Dream Airi has arrived at my residence today!  The fact that she arrived today, just a day after I watched Queen’s Blade 2nd Season Episode 5, where she played a major role in the story is just extra special to me.  I have always wanted to believe, despite the lack of screen time for Airi in Queen’s Blade Season 1 and Season 2 thus far, that she is more than just a life sucking assassin/ghostly maid, loyal servant to the Swamp Witch (I have yet to see this so call Swamp Witch to do anything evil by the way).  I was jumping overjoy that Airi is indeed a character worthy to become my daughter, for in depth review of the Queen’s Blade Season 2 Episode 5, please visit blogsphere comrade Smithy’s Blue Blue Wave.  Enough talk, let’s take a look at the loots~

1/6 Asuka Langley Shikinami Plug Suit Ver. Kotobukiya

by Wolfheinrich on Oct.23, 2009, under Otaku Home screen, Other Figures

October has so far proven to be one of most important months this year in terms of figure releases this year, we had Saber Lily from GSC which has lived up to the expectation we have come to expect.  Since there are already so many Saber Lily photo shoot and reviews, I don’t feel I can offer anymore than what is already out there.  However, another package I have been expecting arrived today, I was going to wait until Dollfie Airi arrive before doing another photo shoot; but once I opened the box, that idea of waiting for Dollfie Airi went right out the window!  Ever since the Rebuild of Evangelion movie hitting the theater this past summer, Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance, we have been getting a nice revival on the Evangelion merchandises, what we have is 1/6 Asuka Langley Shikinami Plug Suit Ver. from the good folks of Kotobukiya!  And this is most probably the cream of the crop of all the new merchandises, I kid you not.  My jaw dropped as soon as I opened the box from HLJ…. Oh my god, she is a beauty!  The box, the presentation, everything is top notch!  This is most definitely a few steps above the normal Kotobukiya releases!  One of the few Kotobukiya figures that actually look better in person than the promotional pictures!

Img0626_01

Isn’t she beautiful?  As a self proclaimed Asuka fan, this is most definitely a welcome addition to my collection of Asuka figures!  She is most probably the best looking Asuka in her plug suit PVC figure we have to-date!  Personally, I never felt we ever had a good Asuka plug suit PVC figure that I consider top notch but this is it!  Pretty soon I should do a photo shoot of my Asuka Collection~

More under the cut~
