Another HLJ box of goodies.At last, a HLJ box, that means another goodies arrived. This shipment was actually delayed for almost a week, because there's something like public holiday in Japan, and HLJ did not process any order during that holiday. So i ended up getting this Chua Churam later than some other people.Chua Churam by Alter.This is it, Chua Churam, from an eroge (? dunno for sure) Chu X Chu Idol. From the writing on the box, it seems that Chua Churam is an idol and a vampire, talk about odd combination, but that's anime world for you, the weirder the combination, the more interesting it gets.Anyway, this figure is the 8th haul of this mid year figure haul and it concludes my mid year haul. In this mid year haul, i actually cancelled one of my order, that is Alter's Mikuru maid cafe. I'm glad i cancelled this order because of financial reason, but i also have some regret about it. Chua Churam maybe the last haul of this mid year, but that doesn't mean that it's the last haul of my collection. There are still more to come.A vampire idol? Who know vampire can be idol too?I never knew about Chu X Chu Idol before, and i ordered Chua Churam not because i know her, but because i like her cute face and her dress very much after seeing the promotional photos. Usually i tend to get character figures whom i already knew about, but this time is different. I like Chua Churam's elegant dress, and this is the reason why i bought her in the first place.There are no alternate parts or detachable parts other than the base.Chua Churam doesn't have many parts with her, just her full body, a base, and another piece of base support. That's why i didn't do a parts photograph. I thought i can get her guitar off her hands, but it seems i was wrong, her guitar isn't a detachable parts.Metal support for stand, just like inside Liu Meifeng right leg.Some people may see this figure is a potential leaner, with a huge dress like that and legs going in that direction. But i think Alter has prepared for this. They used a metal support that connects to the base support. Since it's a metal, there's a very small and even smaller possibilty for the support to lean forward or backward because of imbalance.My favorite part: the dress.Look just how beautiful and elegant her dress is. From this view, you can see that her dress isn't just for sexiness but also elegance. This dress is the type where it goes short in the front and long in the back, if you know what i mean (it's hard to describe really). And also her twintailed hair is one of the deciding factor.She's my favorite dude!I think photographing this figure pose quite a challenge. While there are so many interesting parts, it is also hard to get nice angle and detail on those parts. Well, i guess this Chua Churam is also one of my favorite figure so far.I also heard about the issue of this figure being small for a figure, and i think that's true. The dress may deceive your eyes, with its size and all. But her face and her hands can't deceive you. I have compared her head size with Elwing and figma Haruhi, and well, her head size is somewhat smaller than Elwing's but bigger than figma Haruhi's. I think this figure got a scale of 1/9 compared to Elwing's / Nanoha's real size.So this post is the last part of Mid year figure haul. Next up will be normal haul just as always. so now, I have 2 photo sessions to catch up (Nanoha instructor uniform and Chua Churam) and some figma play i planned (like Hare hare dance, LS dance, yuri romance story, etc.). So as always, look forward to it.

November 11, 2008… 79 days from now. After a year of waiting, Nanoha DVDs are finally making their way into US stores, just in time for the hoidays. I was expecting individual DVDs, but the whole series at one time is alright to me. It would make more sense to me if the series was getting [...]

Nanoha instructor uniform by Good Smile Company.Okay, this figure was released around June-July but i received this figure just 2 days ago. That's what i got if ordered things in figure local store. It's really cheap, without paying custom and shipment, but that cheapness costs you a whole 1-2 months of waiting this figure to arrived. In the other hand, you don't have to pay this when you first ordered, you pay when you got the item on the hand.Released in June, but got it in August, pretty long wait.Anyway, this figure haul still count as mid year haul because it was released in June and i received this in August. It's Nanoha in her instructor uniform done by Good Smile Company. I heard about reputation of this figure, and I'm glad i ordered this, it really has a great quality. Just as expected of Good Smile Company. GSC is the 2nd best figure manufacturer IMO.Nanoha is sexy, and i think she needed more sexy figure treatment like bikini or something else.When i first saw a preview of this figure, all i can think about is sexy pose. Hey, almost all of my figure never had a pose that can expose their panties clearly. With a pose like that, you can see Nanoha's yellow pantie without having to peek under the skirt / looking down below.The base is big disappointment to me.I kinda disappointed with the base. It's not about the shape of the base, it's about the material. If you look at the promotional photos (only at a glance), you'll notice that the base looks like a glass, an elegant glass with a glowing blue effect. But what i got here is a light plastic base. The weight itself is a problem because this base is supporting a heavier object.Sexy pose without sexy body, still okay for me.But i guess a base just a base, the main thing to watch here is the figure itself. I think this figure only has a sexy pose, not a sexy body. Elwing's breast is bigger than Nanoha's breast IMO. Despite all the downside, this figure is still a greatly sculpted figure, and i like it.That's it for today, next will be Chua Churam which already on the way to my place now, and she will conclude my mid year figure hauls.

This entry is part 20 of 20 in the series Nanoha GamerS Occasionally I rely on the characters’ existing fanon interpretations a bit more than I should.
