Finally! Meant to have this review out a lot earlier but azunyan love & vn02 pushed it out a bit. Above I was actually going for a full on silhouette but didn’t execute the lighting properly… ended up pasting a bw version of the pic over the original then just erasing over the flame to add some color… turned out ok maybe i guess? ^^; lemme know whacha think

Shamal & Zafila
Posted by meronpan on June 9, 2010
Heilkräftige Hand des Windes & Blauer Wolf… Healing Hand of the Wind & Blue Wolf? Seriously, Zafila/Zafira’s title is Blue Wolf? Ah well, just going by what’s printed on the box :P
To be quite honest I wouldn’t have picked her up if I weren’t completing the set, perhaps that’s why I was pleasantly surprised ^^;

Saber Alter Maid
Posted by meronpan on May 30, 2010
久しぶり~ Been a while since my last post… I think may be a new low for me in terms of posts per month ^^;; Mmmm for those who actually do want a site update, I think I’ll put that in at the end. Let’s get on to the goods, Alter’s Saber Alter maid!
If you already own Alter’s previous Saber maid release, you know what to expect in terms of quality and execution. We’ve got yet another awesome maid figure from Alter, such a shame it was not up for sale through the usual channels. I opted to get her from Goody Japan this time, and that ended up being 13,400 yen (including EMS shipping).

Figure Pic Prints
Posted by meronpan on May 10, 2010
Notice the reflection in the above pic? That’s because it’s a pic of a print ^_^ AdoramaPix is a photo printing service offered by Adorama – no I don’t have any affiliation with them but just wanted to spread the word that they’re currently offering a $25 credit towards your first order! It’s been awhile since I’ve held an actual photo in hand and figured what the heck. You do have to pay for shipping (the $25 credit will not count towards shipping) but my order arrived by USPS priority mail for just $5.

Index Librorum Prohibitorum
Posted by meronpan on April 18, 2010
Index! Alas, the poor thing seems to fall out of her role as a main character despite having the series named after her ^^; Maybe it’s that pity that got me to buy her :P Anyhow, we’ve got Good Smile Company’s 1/8 release here today, and I’d say it’s a solid get for her fans.

フランドール・スカーレット ~ Flandre Scarlet
Posted by meronpan on April 12, 2010
Glad to have that FFXIII rant off my chest ^^; Back to figures, shall we? Flandre by Griffon! She’s one of the more famous touhou characters but for those of you who aren’t yet familiar, Flandre first appeared as the extra boss of the first Windows touhou game, The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. A vampire of immense power, sealed away in the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for nearly 500 years…

ATAI CIRNO ~ あたい チルノ
Posted by meronpan on March 27, 2010
I really love 大沖‘s (daioki) work. Something about the sort of subdued energy of his characters. Talked about harumination before and was delighted to find out he loves touhou (or at least making touhou doujin). Today’s figure is the counterpart to the reimu i reviewed earlier – though she was released earlier – CIRNO!!
