Fraulein Yoko and Revoltech Enki

The only reason i bought her is that she does not come in Figma version..... I guess this is one of the main reason why ppl choose to buy Fraulein figure. As for me, I think the sculpt of this figure and the expression is still ok and definitely worth collecting.





Fraulein articulation is always the best among all the other competitors action figure (I am only referring to cute JP anime gal figure). Fraulein was also crappy in doing the face expression part.... but we do see some improvement over the Idol gals.



A better expression compare the others.....

Yoko comes with lots of spare parts, plenty of hand gesture, 2 face expression, 1 riffle and a sunglass. Oh and there is also a stand for her but i just dun get how on earth am i gonna fit her on the clip of the stand........ it just seems way too small and also if i fit it on her waist she will be half way hanging in the air....



Hmm the expression with the sunglasses on seems to be much better than the one without it. Guess it covers up some flaws.


Sniper ready.... ready to kill....



So now i open up Enki which I bought it like 2 months ago... Enki is cool and got 2 katana + the extra parts for flying booster of Gurren Langann.


Here enters Enki, the articulation and has more revoltech joint than Lazzengann



Flying kick


Eat this you sucker gurren


The way of the real bushi.... i like this pose the most.


Lagann is nothing but another piece of head for its collection


I love the face expression at their body..... really innovative



I have PO the rest of the upcoming Revoltech Gurren Langann figures, and now i am starting to worry about my storage place for all of them, they just dun seem to stop. I got the feeling that the rest of the member will all come out, and tat make me wonder whether they will release the Kamina or Simon in the Revoltech line?

Latest Haul + Info On 1/100 R-1

I have not been getting so much in 1 single day for a long long time. All my PO stuff seems to have arrive at the same time......



Because of some problem.... my Lucky Star twins was seriously delay..... so end up coming along with my Miku and Fraulein Yoko.


Today what I want to discuss is my latest SRW kit - EO-tech SRW 1/100 R-1. It been sometimes since the last SRW 1/100 kit was release, last one 1/100 Alty was like a year ago.


There is some disapointment for all those SRW 1/100 kit collector, this kit does not come with the pilot figure........ in exchange it comes with a stand.



From the menu you can see that there is no figure and LED included.

As usual Kotobukiya does a good thing in separating color parts.... trying their best to make it easy for modeller that are either lazy to paint or lazy to masked the part for AB.


This is the good thing about Koto kits, the 1/144 required you to masked the grey part but the 1/100 directly divide the parts into three different parts.

This is how the finish works look like

However some parts still required you to paint or mask.


This time is also the first time Kotobukiya kits comes with chrome parts..... this is the T-Link Punch from R-1. Wonder whether later we will see some special coated edition of Kotobukiya kits or not?

OOF photo...... and this is the only 1 i had.

Overall..... 1/100 R-1 is quite a dissapointment, unlike the 1/100 Alty which has great great improvement, including LED and figure..... this one just seems too plain. Its transformation is also incomplete and just some little enchancement in part changing area. To conclude it is just some bigger version of the 1/144..... but i guess this wont stop hardcore R-1 fan from collecting it.

My long time ago Figma Rin

wow wow wow got this Figma so long ago (I think more than 1 month) and still havent opened it up....... guess i must be too busy (havent even collect the 2 Figma Lucky Star girl from my fren yet).


Even Saber also feels inpatient and want to chop the box open

Hmmm I PO this Figma 4 months ago i guess..... and she was one of the Figma that i was really looking forward (since she is my favorite character in Fate Stay/Night).


After collecting so many sets of Figma, especially those Figma Fate series and that Witch Version Yuki Nagato..... the accessories of this Figma just seems to be so so.


Her face expression do look weird in certain angle..... but i guess it is always gonna be better than that upcoming Figma Shana (damn that Figma scared me off from even PO it).


This expression of hers does look better but it gives you the motionless feeling..... feel so cold.....


The 2 types of sword effect.


Although this Figma Rin aint the best Figma but then again it still beat the crap out of the Fraulein.... just putting this 2 together already make me feel that i want to hide my Fraulein in the closet.


After the incident of broken hand with my Figma Yuki Witch Version..... I had to have extra caution with my Figma Rin hand.


Action figure are always fun to play with, you can always create diorama from the anime.


Wonder who is the next Fate Stay/Night gal beside the Saber Lili version? Rider or maybe a male character? Archer?

Figma Yuki Witch Edition

Finally after a full week of delay frm the local post office (a week holiday for our dear old postman), my parcel of Figma Yuki Witch Edition finally arrive!





Super big parcel waiting for me to open it up..... and why the heck Hobby Search gave me such big carton for??? I only order 3 units and the box is 40% larger than the HLJ parcel which i order 4 units of Figma Fate.....





Waited quite a some time for this figure to release, it has so many accesories in it that it just make you crazy wondering what to put on first. Anyway the box size is similar to Figma Nanaho and Fate.




Lots of stuff in it, ehhh the stupid board required you to stick the words on to it.... this is not really good.



So does this mean i need to tear the darn thing off if i want to change into another sign?

Here we have our new Yuki..... her hair and face cannot be remove... they seem to be stick tight. Anyway this is also the first Figma that i got that does not come with another face expression.


So how different does she look compare to the original Yuki..... ehhh..... ahhhh.... the hair color seems to be a bit different, the new one seem brighter, new Yuki has the usual uniform..... and hey wait a sec how come my new Yuki is wearing the outdoor shoe instead of the in door one show on the box art????



Since this is the Witch version Yuki, of course the most important part is her witch robe (lol just reminds me of Konata cosplaying the Witch in the OVA), it comes in 2 separate piece so you can swap the parts.





Ok now with her guitar on..... seeing this scene make me think that GSC gonna release the bunny suit Haruhi with her guitar later on..... dun ask me why but i just got that feeling.


Damn bad news.... my Yuki right hand which is holding the guitar one just have the ball joint part broken, the ball part was left inside the hole...... guess you need to be really careful with it, it aint 100% fit the hole. So as usual i pick up some of my gunpla pla-plates to fix the situation.


Now awaiting the plastic cement to dry off....

In the end Lelouch seems to be very happy with the new witch cape...... ALL HAIL LELOUCH..... ALL HAIL LELOUCH.....


Poor Yuki even her super power cant safe her from geass.... now she is just a servant to Zero.
