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~

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.

More loots have arrived on this fine Saturday afternoon and I am just more than happy to perform a thorough inspection.  Most of the goods that I ordered after I came back from Japan have arrived, and that means the long awaited Dollfie Dream size Decade Driver, Rider Booker and DiEnd Driver, the highly anticipated mini Revoltech Asuka, Bandai Movie version Asuka, Cospa Asuka T-shirts, plus a little more Dollfie Dream outfit and undies have arrived.

It’s been a long time since I have taken photos of my Gathering collection, perhaps I am just lazy taking them out from my dust free display.  Anyway, with the new camera and everything, I have got to take this chance to do more testing on the camera and get myself familiar with it as soon as possible.  Saber Lily arrived at a perfect time since I haven’t found a place to store her yet XD.

As usual with the Gathering series, you can expect high level of details and finishes, let just say their finishes is on par if not better than some of the leading PVC manufacturers.  I have always been a fan of the painted resin figures because of their wider selection.  And with their choice station, customer like me has some input as to what they want to work on next!  I am putting my chips in a Gathering release of 1/4 Kos-mos version 4 from C3 X Hobby 2009.  There is no a chance that I will ever have enough skills to build that kit myself, so I am waiting for a Gathering release for sure.  I have been keeping the resolution the same as 4288 X 2828 on most of these shots, clicking on it should bring up the full size image from my flickr account.

As we are closing in to the end of June, I would like to spend a little time to reflect on all the pre-order activities that has been going on in the past month.  As some of you are already aware of my recent interest in Dollfie Dream, I have been cutting back drastically on pre-order figures and various expenses, however, I have managed to balance out my pre-order list with some cancellation of my original pre-order.  Let’s take a look at the addition list first!

The first one that got added to my pre-order list was no one than Saber Lily from E2046 Gathering series, I am quite a sucker when it comes to Saber Lily so when I found out she was ready to be preordered, I wasted little time to put her in my shopping cart!  Saber Lily T’s System version is slated to arrive in late August.

I have talked about how I value my figurine collection and they must be protected from dust and dirt with my weather sealing film.  However, due to lack of display area in the past, I have never been able to protect every figurine I wanted to. With the new display area online and the 10 or so figures that are due to arrive later this year, I have decided to introduce a new system that can promote/demote my figurine collection from my dust protection system.  With me being an English Premier League fan, I thought of the promotion and relegation battle that takes place every year!  Poorly performing figures would be relegated out of my dust protection system (into the championship), newly release and high quality figurine can be promoted into the dust protection system (promote to premier league)!

With this being the first season, massive amount of figures have been promoted and relegated.  Let’s take a look at them, we will start with the relegated figures.

Next up for the photo session treatment is my newly acquired gathering kit from E2046.com, Subaru from the eroge game Choko Sennin Haruka.

dsc00461

Choko Sennin Haruka is a heroine, insult, ninja, training + ADV eroge game release by Alicesoft back in Feburary 2008.  Previously released figure related to this series includes Takamori Haruka from Alter and the yet to be released Shihoudo Narika also from Alter.  Subaru is considered as the third and non-cannon heroine as she only joins you mid-way through the game and did not have her own cho-henshin costume.  Despite the fact that Alicesoft did not consider her as main heroine, she is actually rather popular among the fans; probably due to her mature body build and her beautiful long black hair + ponytail.  In this write up, I am going to attempt to give a summary of the game story as I would focus Subaru’s story as she joins the team as I don’t think I can talk about Subaru without talking about Haruka and Narika.  I would finish Narika and Haruka’s stories in future write ups, otherwise, it would be too long.

Photo session

I would say the paint job and shadow are done very well, the skin tone may be a little pale in the face for my taste. With an interchangeable arm, magnetically attached clothing and the gold trim around her waist belt, this gathering kit is full of gadgets.  The only catch about this kit is the artificial right arm seems to have a very tight of a fit against her body to be assembled right out of the box (and I ended up shaving some resin off her arm to force it in).  As a result, it’s nearly impossible to cast off her lower half body.

This is a first mega post for me!  I ended up putting in a lot of details on the background story and well I did end up playing the game over just to be sure I don’t make any false assumption.  As a result, I ended up finding stuff that I missed during my first play through.  In the end, I feel it’s still a benefit for me.  As usual, I would like to seek some feedback on a feature like this, photo session + background story.  Is it too much details or just about right?  Next write up would most likely be Haruka and I am saving Narika for last since her new figure would come out in July.

Loot update March 17, 2009

March is a really busy month with various magazines, figures release etc.  I don’t think April would be like this, perhaps May would be crazy again.  Anyway, various boxes have arrived in the past few days and then we have an update.

Upper left we have G’s Megazine vol.4 2009, upper right Megami Super Deluxe,lower left we have painted resin of Subaru from Beat Blade Haruka, and Hatsune Miku from GSC in lower right.

I thought I was done with all the G’s Magazine goods for Moonlight Cradle earlier this month, it turns out I was wrong!  While searching for Megami Super Deluxe, I stumbled upon this and the focus is the give away Feena trading figure.  Yeah I know it’s usually low quality, but I vowed to not skip out on any G’s Magazine bonus goods for Feena ever again, so there it is.

G's Magazine 2009 vol. 4 with bonus Feena Fam Earthlight trading figure

Break open the bonus box and we have a tiny Feena that looks surprisingly good for give away.

Then we have Megami Super Deluxe featuring all the moe 2D girls from vol. 1 to 100 (special thanks for comrade Optic from http://thedisjointedzone.com/ to inform us about it on DC).  Due to some technical error, I am going to end up with 2 copies of Megami Super Deluxe ;x, I might look into selling one when the market depleted of them.

Next up we have the painted resin figure of the optional heroine Subaru from Beat Blade Haruka, a training ADV game released by Alicesoft released back in Feburary 2008.  Beat Blade Haruka is actually the 2nd game that utilize the Beat Angel System game mechanics (the first one being the popular Beat Angel Escalayer released in 2002)  in which the main character must recharge the heroine’s energy level by performing various sexual stimulations.  If the heroine were to lose against the monster in battle, her energy level would also be recharged, this time by the monster!  Since Subaru is the only one of the three heroines that didn’t have a PVC figure release, so I decided to pick her up.  She is actually rather popular among the fans, not sure why there isn’t a PVC made of her yet.   Anyway, when I saw her up as a Gathering kit from one of my main sources for prepainted resin, I picked her up immediately at E2046.com.    The unique point about this figure is that every pieces of her clothes are magnetically attached to her body!

And here is a teaser shot

Working on her photos shoot and background story right now, should be ready in a few days time!

And lastly, we have Hatsune Miku from Good Smile Company.  Now I don’t claim to be very knowledgeable on Miku’s background story.  All I really know is that she is originally a visual representation of a computer music program that synthesizes singing in Japanese.  Developed by Crypton Future Media, it utilizes Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors.

Still on their way to me is the Queen’s Blade Alice figure, I have no idea why it’s taking so long for her to get to me, must be the free shipping thing ;x (I’m still crossing my fingers to hope she would arrive free of damage),   my first Oppai mouse pad, and 1/7 Teana Lanster PVC from Alter.
