New FREEing 1/4 Scale Lucky Star Figures!

By anonymous_object, June 25, 2010 11:05 am

There is a new reason to rejoice for Lucky Star fans.  Today, FREEing started reservations for a new 1/4 scale Lucky Star figure: Yutaka Kobayakawa!  Like the previous FREEing 1/4 scale Lucky Star figures, Yutaka is dressed in a school gym uniform, only this time instead of shorts, she is wearing bloomers.  Yay! ;)

Yutaka is from one of the younger classes, maybe that’s why she gets bloomers?  She’s super cute!  I think we’ll be seeing more of the other girls coming in the future too.  Good Smile says this “The Lucky Star gym uniform series from FREEing is set to continue, this time bringing all the characters in the other classes to join their older friends!”.  Even more of the other girls to follow? :D

Yutaka will be released in October and will retail for 14,095 yen.  A bit pricey, but she is 1/4 scale.   She is available for pre-order at Amiami for 11,250 yen and Hobby Search for 11,981 yen (plus 599 points!) so you won’t have to pay the full retail price :)

Anyone going to be getting her?  I am very tempted by her moe-ness!  I already have the original 4 figures by FREEing and I’m compelled to get all the girls in the set.  Very possible get for me!

Tomorrow I’m leaving for a week-long vacation in warmer territories ^^/

I will be back next Sunday.  I have scheduled a post to go live during the week so it won’t be completely quiet here.  See you guys later, I’m off to enjoy the sun and beach :D

Kagami Goes Out

By anonymous_object, March 11, 2010 11:59 pm

I was going through some of my older photos and forgot I had some more Kagami doll pics! These are from last Fall, before it became (completely) cold and drearily gray >_<
Thought I’d share them before they are too ancient ;)

Kagami didn’t want to play at first and was hiding up in a tree ^^; Continue reading 'Kagami Goes Out'»

1/7 Basketball Kyou by Wave

By anonymous_object, February 12, 2010 10:58 pm

Seeing as how I’m about half a dozen figures behind in reviews, I decided it was time to stop being lazy and post pretty pictures.  This time ’round it’s Fijibayashi Kyou from the popular visual novel and hit anime series Clannad.  Did anyone else watch it? ;)  Kyou is one of my all time favorite characters so I couldn’t help but to pick her up last August.

Superbowl Time!

By anonymous_object, February 7, 2010 3:37 pm

Completely non-anime related, but today is the Superbowl!  Normally, I wouldn’t post something like this but the Indianapolis Colts fought their way to the game this year and I just happen to reside in Indianapolis ^^.  Everyone around here is really excited with parties going on all over the place ^^.  Game starts in just 3 hours.  Go Colts!

In other, more anime-related news, the Wonder Festival is going on and lots of delicious figures and such have been displayed.  I’ve already spent wayyy more than I should have on some limited edition items and even more tempt me ;_;

Also!  Just finished Mass Effect 2 last night.  Was an excellent game ^^.  Spent 38 hours in game.  Not quite the 60+ hours I put into Dragon Age: Origins but not definitely can’t be called a short game ^^.  So looking forward to Mass Effect 3 now :D

That’s all for now… maybe another post tonight or tomorrow!

Happy New Year!

Anony’s new home

As promised, pics of anony’s new place of residence.  Needed more room so I moved into my own place.  Here is my office/rec room.  Still sorting out some things as is apparent from the mess of boxes and such ^^;

The bedroom.  Kagabu keeps me company ;)

Messy kitchen.  Bananas should be eaten before they get rotten and go to mush :-/

And last up is the living room.  Outfitted with newly acquired coffee/end table set as well as surround sound system.  Wimpy little Christmas tree too ^^;

Well, that’s most of it.  I will probably have updated pics of my computer room soon.  Got some new furniture ;)  Since I’m wayyy behind on figure reviews, I will try to get at least one out later this week.  Just need to decide which one to start with… ;)

Still Alive ^^;

Posting an update to let readers know I am indeed still alive and not dead xD.  Have not posted in over a month due to a few factors.  My new place took longer to get settled in than I expected and things are finally returning to normal for me.

Of course, my recent move wasn’t the only thing keeping me away from the blog ^^;  I happened to pick up Dragon Age: Origins a few weeks back and I have been a slave to the game since xD  I just finished the game last night (finally!).

Near the end of the game

I know Meronpan also got himself temporarily addicted to the game, so I’m not alone ^^;  I tend to take my time though so I probably played a bit longer than he did >_<.  My final play time was 67 hours.  I can’t recall the last game on which I spent so much time (excluding World of Warcraft, of course ^^;).  Was it worth it?  Heck, yeah.  I’m pretty picky about playing games all the way through and I wouldn’t have put that much time into this game if I didn’t like it.

I chose to play as a human female warrior.  Continuing the Bioware tradition, the game lets you chose between good and evil throughout the course of the story.  The actions you take and the choices you make will affect how your companions and NPCs view you as well as what quests you can get and what abilities you can acquire.  This time around, I tried to play as an all good character ^^;  Of course, not all the choices in the game are clear cut between good and evil and more than once I had to stop and think about the possible consequences of my actions.

dragon-age-3

One choice I do regret is using this hair/face combination for my character, as seen above.  Not that it’s a bad look, but sadly it turned out to be very similar to one of the main companions in the game (above left) and they ended up looking too alike >_<  I will probably replay Dragon Age but not immediately.  When I do, I will choose a more unique look for my character ^^  I would upload more screenshots but Bioware’s screenshot uploader thing is not working at the moment so I had to take manual screenshots from my last saves (mostly endgame).

Overall, an excellent game.  Story was superb, combat was pretty good (got a bit repetitive at times though), and the character development was top-notch.  Definitely a recommendation from me.  I don’t care much for Japanese RPGs these days, but this game reminds of what I do like in an RPG ^^b

dragon-age-2

Aside from Dragon Age, I am done moving and it didn’t take me a month to do it despite the time elapsed since my last post ^^;  Had to buy some new furniture and such but my new home is now mostly complete.  Lots more storage room for all the lovely figures that were once crowded :).  Will have pics of the new crib up in a day or so.

P.S. Morrigan is awesome :D
