Occasionally you can see tiny figures jumping on and off him like fleas off a dog, but don't be alarmed! That's just Cybertronians going about their daily routines.<br />Buying this toy is like buying all Transformers in one go! You get Megatron, Optimus Prime, the whole deal. Just watch out for Megatron and his bitches though, they grew a sweet tooth after Cybertron started to run dry of energon. They have a particularly soft spot for doughnuts.<br /><br />Alright, I just posted just to advertise this toy, which I'm selling on Ebay.

He needs someone who will love him, hug him and call him <strike>George</strike> Primus.<br /><br />I don't have much of a choice, I've suffered some pretty severe financial loss lately so I have to put him up for sale.<br /><br />I'll throw in a fly swatter too if you buy!

I should have known that she felt rather ignored with that angry expression she’s been wearing for weeks.

I got her second hand off a Play.com.my forumer. She doesn't come with as many accesories as Ach, but she does come with useless accesories in the form of tiny cat figures that can get lost easily and can only be attached to her armour one at a time.

Busou Shinki is a line of female action figures that feature different themes and each wave is designed by different artists. The base of the figurines however are all the same, designed by Asai Masaki. They're really poseable and you can actually mix and match their accesories to customize them. Plus, they come with an access code that you input in an online game called Battle Rondo where you then get a virtual version of your figurine which you can train and send to battles (kinda like Angelic Layer, if I'm not wrong) and also pose them in various virtual settings in the Diorama Studio.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The openings for Battle Rondo featuring the first few waves:<br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXeLyFe6tZM&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXeLyFe6tZM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJjLeWQz4Ek&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sJjLeWQz4Ek&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><img src="file:///D:/photocomic/busou%20shinki/achbox.png" alt="" /><br />I fell in love with Xiphos and Benio the moment I saw the 2nd video D: Oohh, and Fort Bragg is like a cool weapon nerd.<br />Obviously Busou Shinki plays on the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_%28slang%29">moe</a>" and cute girls that still can kick serious ass theme<br /></div><br />Back then, I would have snorted at the thought of collecting this sort of figurine (skinny, vulnerable looking girls with big googly eyes) but after constant exposure to them in online shops and various webcomics, I slowly warmed up to them. If you're not a big fan of most animes like me, it takes awhile to get used to them.<br /><br />Right now I can't have her armors and what nots assembled (if I start, I won't stop till a few hours later and I'll be toast when I have to pass up my assignments), so I've only toyed with the figurine so far.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MNFnq8r4I/AAAAAAAAAPM/w0Pn0GxvTEc/s1600-h/ach3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MNFnq8r4I/AAAAAAAAAPM/w0Pn0GxvTEc/s400/ach3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157480388468977538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MM0Hq8r2I/AAAAAAAAAO8/kGQwCQwg0_g/s1600-h/ach4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MM0Hq8r2I/AAAAAAAAAO8/kGQwCQwg0_g/s400/ach4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157480087821266786" border="0" /></a>Her dainty fingers are made of some bendable plastic, probably to prevent them from breaking.<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MM0Hq8r3I/AAAAAAAAAPE/PqT2YAvT2NE/s1600-h/ach5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MM0Hq8r3I/AAAAAAAAAPE/PqT2YAvT2NE/s400/ach5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157480087821266802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MMz3q8r1I/AAAAAAAAAO0/yhzFmC4et0Q/s1600-h/ach2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R5MMz3q8r1I/AAAAAAAAAO0/yhzFmC4et0Q/s400/ach2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157480083526299474" border="0" /></a>First impressions: I'm reminded of a grid girl or a racer when I look at her.

But compared to Yotsuba, Yotsuba's sculpt is much better (to the point she looks edible), but then again, Yotsuba doesn't have the curves Revy does, so maybe it's easier to sculpt her.Yin Ninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07010485376093177072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060373522127809959.post-50542481491281449262008-01-06T00:47:00.000+08:002008-12-12T10:28:25.275+08:00Revoltech YotsubaLast Wednesday I went to XL Shop at Midvalley, wanting to get Kaiyodo Revoltech Revy (Black Lagoon). But in a moment of impulsiveness, I ended up with an extra figure I didn't quite expect I would buy: Revoltech Yotsuba. In case you're wondering, Yotsuba&! is a manga (by Kiyohiko Azuma) about a 5 year old girl's antics as she discovers the world around her (no, really, it's a really enjoyable manga, its just that my description doesn't do it any justice). I have to admit I've never read the manga before I got this fig (I just found her expressions too cute and the fact that she reminds me of dough, I love eating and messing around with dough). I've only read the first volume so far and I have to say, she looks like a well,<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-55nq8rYI/AAAAAAAAALA/dp_fiHa032o/s1600-h/yotsubabugeye.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-55nq8rYI/AAAAAAAAALA/dp_fiHa032o/s400/yotsubabugeye.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152040898287938946" border="0" /></a><br />...a bug.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Albeit a really cute bug, probably a beetle or a lady bug.

This whole hostage situation thing was totally inspired by <a href="http://hangmen13.blogspot.com/2007/10/plastic-mayhem-part-1.html">a funny review on Revoltech Yotsuba</a>. In case you're wondering, she's holding one of Revy's gun.<br /></div></div><br />Photos of Yotsuba "playing" with Revy:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-9LXq8rbI/AAAAAAAAALY/ZsfWOaj12uE/s1600-h/not-so-fast-sista.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-9LXq8rbI/AAAAAAAAALY/ZsfWOaj12uE/s400/not-so-fast-sista.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152044501765500338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">"Not so fast, sista"<br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-9LHq8raI/AAAAAAAAALQ/3XzvHBke2lg/s1600-h/not-so-fast2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAcRNzMkWnA/R3-9LHq8raI/AAAAAAAAALQ/3XzvHBke2lg/s400/not-so-fast2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152044497470533026" border="0" /></a><br /></div>I sure hope Kaiyodo will release some sort of expansion pack for her, with extra expressions and what nots.<br /></div></div>Yin Ninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07010485376093177072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060373522127809959.post-13562915633042045732008-01-05T00:58:00.000+08:002008-01-06T00:47:45.591+08:00A new startHohoho, I just realized that my old blog name "Orange Plastic" would have been the perfect place for me to throw all the photos I ever took or will ever take of my figurines.
