It has been a long wait since I have won the bloodiest auction battle I have ever participated in order to win the right to bring one of the rarest Dollfie Dream Kuze Kiriha home, released at Kyoto 5 of 2008, but her appearances in Yahoo Japan Auction is considerably more rare than Dollfie Dream before her such as Feena Fam Earthlight and Estel Freesia, Dollfie Dream that released along with her, such as Erika Sendo; and Dollfie Dream that released after her, such as Saber, Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami.  Ever since I have finished play Fortune Arterial back in January, I have already determined to bring her home… and the wait is finally over!  I hereby present to you, my thirteenth daughter -Kuze Kiriha- 紅瀬桐葉!

To celebrate her arrival, I have Feena, my 4th daughter to come out and introduce her to us!

How long has it been since I acquired the cloak for Saber?  Hmm ever since Airi arrived?  Yeah, I been wanting to do a Saber solo shoot out for that long, but laziness and procrastination delayed it for this long!  Errr, not really, I was busy with other stuff and had the lighting setup packed away and didn’t pull them back out until just recently.  Anyway, I been wanting to do this shoot out with Saber standing in front of the Buckingham Palace and I have finally done it!  I think I managed to pack a few pretty good shots in there, hopefully you would enjoy them as much as I did :D

The other reason I been wanting to do this shoot, is that I am finally ready to change out Saber’s armor for something a little more feminine, plus the armor set really restricted Saber’s pose-ability so I need finish this before I can move on~ View Full Article »

It’s been a while since I got a chance to write a new post, I have been very busy tackling a few eroge games lately plus a few other things, planning to write an update post tomorrow but first, I got to bring the news of the Rin Tohsaka Portrait Book that is planned to be released next month.  It’s been months since I have heard about this portrait book but there was no cover art, no detail information on what would be included in this book.  But if the previously released Saber Portrait is any indication of what we should expect from this, most of us Rin fan will be in for a real treat!  I have been keeping taps on Amazon Japan since November last year, and finally we got the cover art when I checked again today!

Perfect, just the way I want it!

Hobby Search has it on pre-order for a while but it has been closed off since, HLJ doesn’t even have this listed yet, AmiAmi doesn’t have it either, I am not sure what other source carries this book other than Amazon Japan at this point.

Here is the information from Amazon Japan

  • Publisher: 一迅社 (2010/2/12)
  • ISBN-10: 4758011621
  • ISBN-13: 978-4758011624
  • Release Date: 2010/2/12

And I was able to dig up some sneak preview pictures from browsing some Chinese Forum

And supposedly, there are some pre-order bonus as well, so it might be prudent to pony up the cash to get the pre-order bonus.

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.

Japan trip loots

Some of you who have been following my blog would know that I have just traveled to Japan recently for a super condensed sight seeing and shopping trip.  I have a set of mission objectives that I wanted to accomplish, and I have managed to finish most of them by Saturday night Japan time.  But how can it be?  There are only 3 real days to work with, I have to be back in the airport before noon on Sunday.  As I reveal the details of my complete walk-through of my super condensed Japan trip, it will become more obvious!

  1. See the Odaiba Gundam
  2. Watch the Kamen Rider movie
  3. Watch the Evangelion 2.0 movie You can (not) advance
  4. Shopping in Akihabara
  5. Shopping for Dollfie Clothes and appropriate size Rider belts
  6. Go to a maid cafe

I am fairly proud to say that I have accomplished every one of the above objectives even though this trip was so short.  For starter, I am going to cover my loots during this trip and I will expand onto some of the finer details of my experience of my super condensed, super fast pace first trip to Japan.  Without further ado, let me get started.  First is the grand scale loots!

Obviously, you can’t really see anything like this, so let me break them down into their categories.

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.
