Color+Sound = Gundams, Figures, Otaku etc.
For those who read my last post know that I’m leaving the figure blogging to the pro’s and closing down mine, after my next figure arrives (Tuesday)
However I’ll still be taking photos and buying figures, and I plan on posting these images on Picasa.
Thanks again for reading, it has been fun.
So I tried to take some pics with my Cybershot, and I would say some, (minority) of the pictures turned out alright. I think the main reason I had such an issue with these pictures was my crappy lighting setup. To compensate I found myself using some blur etc, which I usually try to avoid. I’ll give it another try tomorrow when I have more time.
It’s too late for me to make little buttons at the bottom of this post, so I’ll link you to my flickr.
All the pictures were done on 10/23/07.
Just picked up volumes 2 and 3 of Claymore, and Gunslinger Girl volume 1. My first impressions of Claymore Vol.1 were pretty good, the art is different, and the story seems to be moving along quite nicely. Characters are cool, a lot of mystery still not yet understood. I’ll have to re-read Vol.1 and start 2 and 3 when I get the chance.
As for Gunslinger Girl, I’ve been avoiding this manga for a while, but not on purpose, I usually go to the bookstore to buy more manga from series I have already started. But, I’ve heard so many good things about it, so I decided to go ahead and grab a copy. I’ve only finished a few chapters and it’s looking good. I can’t say I’m too interested in the story just yet, but it doesnt seem bad at all. The art is also pretty nice! I’ll have to finish the volume to judge.
While as at the dollar store looking for construction paper, I stumbled upon ANIME VHS on a shelf for $0.50 each! They had a ton of Slayers, Record Loddoss, and some other oldies I couldn’t recognize. I only managed to grab volume 3 and 5 of Votoms though, now I gotta dig up my VCR ^^;
Shii’s having a tough time deciding what color to use for her backdrop.. I’ll have to find a box to make a diffuser!
Isn’t that stand just so sweet? ^^
After a few days of waiting patiently, I came home from school to find a big box on my door step :D My first purchase from Big Bad Toy Store was a great one. My package came in near mint condition, there was even a “FRAGILE” sticker on the shipping box! Really good store that emphasizes collector value, I mean.. the corners of Shii’s actual box weren’t even dinged up at all. I highly recommend BBTS! (Big sale going on, and it ends tomorrow I think.)
As for Arisugawa herself, I can’t describe how awesome she is. The sculpt is great, minus the few flaws on her lower half (not too bad considering the skirt covering it up) The paint job is crisp and clean. This figure is another reason for me to continue buying Kotobukiya, the quality is always consistent. As for leaning, it’s hard for me to picture it happening, she feels so solid. I’ll try to keep up with her in case she does start leaning.
I took some quick shots of Shii next to a window with the box backdrop that came with her. I’ll be attempting a proper photoshoot later tonight with the Sony Cybershot I have. (These photos don’t look too bad right? I’ll try to make this Sony work for me tonight.)
[There's more pictures in the photostream that didn't make the cut.]
