Review: Fate Testarossa 1/7 -Casual Wear- ALTER

[finally a scaled figure!]

ALTER’s version of Loli-Fate Casual Wear! This kit was released on February of 2011. She’s 1/7 Scale which is around 190mm in height. My beloved loli-Fate in her Casual Wear based on her MOVIE 1st Art. Can it get any better than that? Well yes. She also comes with Bardiche in it’s Device Form to hold on too!

[no light equipment, crappy images, etc etc]

Review: Nendoroid No. 95 Nanoha Takamachi The MOVIE 1st Ver.

A lyrical, magical Nendoroid! ♪

[“Another Nendoroid?” I promise guys, there will be some scaled figures coming soon.]

This is Nendoroid No. 95 Takamachi Nanoha. Since the 2nd A’s MOVIE was premiered in Japan a few days ago and the School Uniform and the 2nd A’s Version was just announced, I figured this would be the right time to publish this review.

The Barrier Jacket design is based on her MOVIE 1st art, which is obviously superior to the TV Series counterpart. That is also the reason why GSC didn’t bother making the TV Series Version and moved right along to this.

Review: Nendoroid No. 225 Saber Complete File Ver. (Plain Clothe)

I believe the character Saber and the series Fate/Stay Night needs no introduction. This is the Saber that comes with the Nendoroid Complete File holy bible, which you can check out the unboxing of it right here. GSC violently release all the Sabers this year for their 10th Anniversary, and this is most likely the first one you’re gonna get(assuming you pre-ordered every Sabers, which I did).

The Complete File that comes with her is 5000 Yen, while the Nendoroid itself is actually 4000 Yen.

[Due to several circumstances, my lighting equipment(and by “equipment” I mean a desk lamp and a mirror) is unavailable. So I apologize in advance if the images seem a bit crappy]

Review: Nendoroid No. 174 Madoka Kaname

Can’t I just say that I want to become one…?

Nendoroid No. 174 Madoka Kaname was released in August of 2011 closely following the conclusion of the TV Series. Puella Magi Madoka Magica was an amazing show. The cute art fools you to expect “Mahou Shoujo”-ish experience but instead it was just…wow. Anyway, before I spoil the series for you, let’s just check out the Nendoroid.

This is the normal version which is her Magical Girl costume.

Review: Nendoroid No.185a Taiga Aisaka

The anime Toradora! finished it’s run several years ago. Leaving a positive feedback and a fairly large fanbase. A follow-up to that, is an un-aired bonus episode bundled with the Blu-ray Boxset which came out only a few months ago. Good Smile Company took this chance and announced the Nendoroid-counterpart of Taiga, Palm-top Tiger, the main protagonist. Featuring her full-Tsundere expressions as she’s really to smack Ryuji!

Review: Nendoroid No. 99 Fate Testarossa MOVIE 1st Ver. — Nanoha The MOVIE 1st Merchandise

A little Fate vintage good, to celebrate my 50th post…

Fate-Chan is one of my all time favorite Anime character. She’s just…way too cute. You have to admit, the only reason Nanoha succeeded was because of Fate. Sorry for the lazy review though, still I hope you enjoy.

Review: Master Grade AGE-1 Normal

Master Grade AGE-1 Normal from the TV series Mobile Suit Gundam Age.

Accessories are mainly Beam Saber, Beam Dagger, Beam Rifle, and a Shield. Gundam AGE-1 is builded and piloted by Flit Asuno.

While the AGE-1 Normal does look relatively boring in terms of design, this kit is more than meets the eye. The articulation and details are superb, not to mention the colors.

If you actually liked the AGE-1, this kit is a must.

Review: Nanoha Movie 1st Visual Collection 1st Volumn + Fate Stand Pop

A special, in some way random, review. This is Nanoha MOVIE 1st’s Visual Collection book, which came with Fate’s 70cm stand pop. Unless you’re a fanboy(like me), you wouldn’t really wanna get this. Since it is indeed expensive. Then again why would you ever want a Visual Collection unless you loved the series.

Some shots of the book, you can search for the rest of the pictures online somewhere.

Review: Fate Testarossa Swim Suit Ver. ALTER — Nanoha Series Merchandise

Finally it has arrived. I have been waiting for this kit anxiously since last year(when was it announced?).

This is Fate Testarossa’s newest Figure in a beautiful 1/7 scale. Features Fate in her delicious white swimsuit. Feel the wind with her gorgeous hair and the lovely smile. This Figure is going straight on top of my shelf.
