2009 has been a pretty good year for figure collectors especially in Singapore. Anime Fest Asia came and Danny Choo brought the Tokyo Figure Show out of Japan for the first time. The entire showcase of nendoroids as well as PVCs was stunning and I believe it was the first time a collection of such [...] Related posts:The Fast, the Furious and the Fake Saber Lily!!

This song has really meaningful lyrics which gets me thinking. To be honest, I have heard this song some time back and didn’t really think much of it until the Hatsune Miku’s Giving Day Concert where she performed this song. It got me real sparked up to try to translate it my way. Hatsune Miku [...] Related posts:“Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari” ~ supercell: Translation Attempt Hatsune Miku Figma Anisong At AFA09 – Basara X Mylene: Macross 7 All Over Again

Good Smile has announce the pre-ordering of Index from To Aru Majutsu no Index. Quite a nice figure but a plain base and nothing fantastic in the design/sculpting. I guess the production issues with all their new fancy bases must be giving them a ton of headache. A must-get for all Index’s fans but otherwise, I [...] Related posts:Pre-order for Alphard Nendoroid Out Alter’s Yui Pre-order Out FREEing Ex:Ride

More pictures of Alphard figure out! All of them look stunning and I can only guess when will they be ready for the market, given all the recent troubles Good Smile has with deadlines etc. The sculpt looks really good and this is just a 1st print, meaning the final sculpt and finish will probably be [...] Related posts:Pre-order for Alphard Nendoroid Out GoodSmile Shiki The Fast, the Furious and the Fake Saber Lily!!

I think most of the people who know about the Saber Lily ~Distant Avalon~ PVC by Goodsmile will have known that it was just released just a few days ago. While I did not order one, I felt it was a wonderful piece of work with fantastic craftsmanship to boot. Regrettably, some bootleggers have already [...] Related posts:GoodSmile Shiki Max Factory Casual-Wear Saber and Shirou Emiya Figma Canaan 1/8 PVC and Nendoroid
