Fiery Shana

It's been a while since I last post an Otaku stuff. ^.^ Actually, I'm kind of broke and there weren't anything released that I want recently. Adding the fact that I'm either busy working or studying for my upcoming ACCA exam, time is so limited!

Nevertheless, no matter how busy I am, I still will spend my time with my love ones... My Figmas! :P Here's a review on my Shana.



It came in at the same time with Tohsaka Rin. There weren't much accessories packed inside so the box was kind of small.


Here's the back view of the box. I got this after getting inspired when I got Fate. Yes it's because of the sword. Currently there were only sword wielder in my collection. Fate-chan would be so lonely with nobody to play sword fighting with her. ^.^"


Shana's pack came with a katana, a face change and a melon pan. ^.^ Melon pan is her favourite bread. I'm not very sure were they sold in Malaysia, but it's very popular in Japan. Do pin point where I can get if you saw one.


Yosh! Take a portrait shot! Say melon cheese! ^.^


This sword is long! Over her head by how many times! I think this is more like a muramasa rather than a katana.


The sculpture had actually released two version of this figma. One which is this 1 with a red hair. Another is with black hair and different facial expression. The black hair one is selling at 20% ~ 30% more expensive this red hair and it's limited edition.


Yosh! Another shot here wielding the katana. Since I ain't willing to spend the money and the different isn't much, althought the black hair 1 seems cooler. I opt for the red one to save some money for my next purchase. ^.^


Sword wielding girls are quite popular among the Otaku circles. The animes that have swords wielding girls that I can remember are Shakugan no Shana, Sakura Wars, and Ga Rei Zero to name a few that I'm familiar with.


Shana-chan had actually followed me out a few times. I've taken pictures of her with food, playing and much more! I would say this is the easier figma to bring out then the others because of its shorter skirt which would make kneeling down much easier compare to balancing the figmas in standing position. Pictures would be upload later so stay tune. ^.^


"Yoroshiku-neh!" ^.^

Noisy and Furious Cars

The Fast & Furious were shown in the cinemas weeks ago. Lucky I get to catch up before the movie being taken down. And this was the photo I snapped when I was inside the movie...



Ops! Not this one... ^.^;; It's this one...



Kitty Cat in the pink car...


It's interesting when you see people spends so much money on their car. Decorating them in all sorts of way.


The only thing that you see people doing things without considering their money, it's their passion.


Passion gives life a meaning.


Passion motivates one to push further, to go the extra miles.


Passion DRIVES people to the extreme.


That's why they said, a man of passion is a crazy man...


Friends can't imagine that I spend so much on my figmas. They don't understand why a big boy like me still play toys. Why do I still watch cartoons..?


But they can accept people spending millions on their photography equipments.


They can accept people spending so much on their clothes.


They can accept people spending so much on FOOD!


They can accept people who spend lots and lots of money on their facial products.


But can't accept me being an Otaku. ^.^;;


They think that they me am immature, at this age still playing toys and watching animes.


But in actual fact, it is them who are immature. They can't accept other people's thought other then their own thinking.


As long as you're not hurting anyone, as long as you're not hurting yourself.


Just live the life you want. Live the passion...


So what's your passion?


Living a life without passion is just like living a life without an aim.


While many thought that their aim in their life is family, do they actually understand this statement...?


Enough crapping. Time to drive.


Snapped these photos in a recent autoshow in my town. These machine are powerful! They can lights up the streets, open a concert and even attracts the CHICKs with their Hello Kitties~!


So you got something to drive? ^.^

When you meet angry Rin

It's been awhile since I update my blog. In fact it's two weeks. Times flies really fast. Been around and busy around. Though I took quite a number of photos. My weekends just couldn't stop there. There's so much going on. Anyway, as an Otaku, surely I have to post up some of my figma collections. ^.^

My figmas are really angry with me now. Look at Rin.


She's looks like going to kill me if I don't post this up. ^.^;;


Well, actually I got her a few weeks ago. Just that I've been busy around helping out others and doing some outdoor model shootings. Here and here. Well it was a fun experience. ^.^ Will post up some edited photos later on.


Back to Rin, she's from the popular game/anime Fate Stay Night. I din't actually knew about this story. If I'm not mistaken there were no mangga on this story. The characters and stories are derived from its game. It seems like there were alot of different ending for the storyline with each character end up being the last person standing in their fight. But the story revolves by the same six characters or so...


Rin getting laid. I never played the game before so I couldn't elaborate much of it. But I have a friend who's a real fan of it. He had actually done a research and can write a book on it. While the better well know character is Saber, the kings of all kings (according to the storyline).

In the anime, Saber was the leading main character. A reborned King Arthur with a cool Excalibur. Maybe I should get her figma? ^.^ Hope this month's budget allows.


Okay back to Rin. Her guardian was a sword smith according to the anime storyline that I watched. These are her two different swords which was made by him. But I don't understand why is he called Archer when he use knife... >.<" Shouldn't he be using bow instead?
The classical setup where a figma is boxed with. 8 sets of different hands, a person and the figma stand. The special items that come with it is the two swords.


I usually see that people usually kneel their figmas if they don't want to use the figma stand to support. But then again, I think that's the nature of Japanese culture. They usually bow or kneel down indoors. :)


But if your figma is not so complicated. You can make it stand too. You just need to be patient to stand them. Sometimes try to set the head directions. Other time you can set the hands and feet to the right position.


I did mentioned she's angry at me right? Look she's pointing her knife at me now. >.<" *scare*
"You better not mess with me or I will slice you like a cake. You know the sharpness of this knife don't you... " *gulp* -.-"


"Alright. Back to your blog! Don't slack this time. Or I will just skin you alive!"


This is Rin Tosaka. The great magician.

The Last Musketeer - Hayate

The day had finally arrived. After months of patients; after months of hardship. Finally, the last musketeer step into my doorsteps. She's smart. She's pretty. She's kind and powerful. She's non other then Hayate!


She arrived together with Feito the other day. Since I missed the previous figure release which cost RM386, roughly the price of my head and I've already got Nanoha-chan, I decided I must get this. If not, I won't have a complete set. Besides, Hayate is my favourite of the three, so it is damn right to get it, no? ^.^


The set comes with a cross wand, a pair of wings, 2 books whereby one open and another close, Hayate's hat, a fierce face, a hair set and a set of hands. Not really much compare to Fate's but I prefer it since, you don't have to carry so many things around.


Hayate is an ancient magic user. Unlike Fate who's more toward offensive and Nanoha who's an all rounder, Hayate is a spellcaster. She owns a book that can replicate all the best magic in the world, aka the Book of Darkness. But its actual name is Reinforce Zwei! A cute little blue faery who's also as powerful as Hayate herself. ^.^


According to the story, Hayate actually has a few guardian with her. And each guardian has their own specialty, Signum who's the master of knighthood, Vita the hot-blooded Viking, Shamal the kind priestess and Zafira the loyal blood critter. If you look at it, it's actually a complete team with both offense and defense as well as support.


Yes I know I watch too much animes and getting childisher everytime. So I will not write a review about the Nanoha Trilogy here. Instead, I would just take more photoshots and let you get impressed with my new camera? ^.^


While playing with her, I noticed that the hand doesn't really hold the book properly as illustrated in the box. They did not make any hand grip or something that fit the hand nicely with the book. Instead the book is just balance on an open arm. So what I did was, I change the hand to a curving one and use the closed book. As you can see in the photo, I try to use the arm to clinche the book uner her armpit. ^.^;; Lucky she don't sweat.


Another reason I liked about Hayate is her vabriante uniform. As you can see, the uniform is in the combination colour of dark blue (my favourite colour) and white (also my 2nd favourite colour) with golden yellow outlines (my third favourite colour) giving a striking look. She even wore a cute fluffy hat. I don't really take note of her wings though. But since it comes with it, I just put on it to make it grander. ^.^


And here you go, the three infamous musketeers. ^.^ From left, Nanoha, Hayate and Fate. I don't actually can considered that I've collected all, since there are more characters yet to be out in the market. Rather, I would say that I've actually collected the three SSS class mages. ^.^ Unfortunately it doesn't work like Dragonball whereby upon complete of collections, I can summon a dragon who will grant me a wish. In this case, even all three of them are mages, they couldn't grant me any wish!! >.<"
Eh chotto~! Since when did Kyuoka came out?! She's not in the team is she?! >.<"
