Dismembered Gloomy Arm Feeling Up Hilary Duff

Ok, not really. But the merch did show up in what appears to be a Gossip Girl episode. Much thanks to Mara for showing me this pic.

The merch I’m talking about is a plush wearable bloody Gloomy arm by Mori Chack, the creator of Gloomy. You can see online ordering details at KidRobot.

Must be awesome to use these as arm warmers at the office although getting work done would be impossible. These babies cost $50 dollars a pop. I like Gloomy but I’ve got stuff to spend on too so I might put this on the backside of the order planning room.

Imagine sneaking up to your boss and tapping him/her on the shoulder with this.

figma Drossel Arrives!

figma Drossel finally arrived ast my office desk in the most unlikely of circumstances. But the end result was still that I have one at last and what makes things better is that it’s a gift from Chil. I am one very happy camper! Now all that’s left is to wait for my 1/8 Kyouka Midarezaki with Puchi Kyoukas to arrive.

This Drossel is an early Christmas gift from my partner but I just absolutely love it because it came from her. That’s enough to make it awesome!

With the banner update and some changes in my personal details, I decided to update my name card details and design. Yes, I like snowflakes. Deal with it.

SIC Kamen Rider Kabuto Promo Pics

So we finally see images of the master display of SIC Kamen Rider Kabuto and boy do they make this action figure worth the wait.

This action figure comes with a lot of accesories. Whereas other SIC releases have two action figures inside the package, this appears to only have one, with interchangeable parts. It transforms from regular Cast-Off Kabuto, to Hyper Cast-Off Kabuto then its Hyper Cast-Off Rider Kick form. Whew! That’s a mouthful!

I know a lot of people had a gripe with how the series was handled/ended and I do feel that the start of the series was awesome but became dragging near the end. But I still hold on to my belief that this was one of the better Kamen Rider designs I have seen, especially among the Heisei Riders. I’m sure a lot of other KR series fans will contest that but I absolutely loved this series’ armor designs.

Aside from the different forms, it comes with his Kunai Gun in Gun, Axe and Kunai forms. The Perfect Zecter is also included. Does this mean they’re going to release other Kamen Riders from this series? I know they’re going to release Dark Kabuto and Gatack. Another thing that comes with this action figure is Decade’s sword, henshin belt and Kabuto’s Form Ride when KR Decade uses Kabuto’s card as part of a hissatsu sequence.

This action figure is up for pre-order in Amiami.com at 5,500 yen.

I would definitely love to own this and Gatack and have them both on my office desk.

 

Gantz #26 + figma Reika

Like I mentioned yesterday on Twitter, coffeebugg showed up at my desk sometime during the day with a resealable plastic bag. Inside was a figma that he said he was selling to me. His cousin apparently wanted to get rid of some figmas which included a WonFes Konata (the Konata wearing the Haruhi cosplay) and a just-out-of-the-box Summer Uniform Konata. Included in the bundle was a near-mint condition figma Reika, complete with all the hands, faces, accessories, figma base and the Gantz  #26 manga.

“Want to have it for Php700?”

“Yes.”

Who am I to let this one slide. It’s an exclusive release and it’s being sold for way less than even half the price of the original package. All that was lacking was the box which I could do without.

Read the manga. It’s an awesome series.

A shot of my katana-wielding toys together in a single shot on my desk soon.

This week’s been so-so. My Monday didn’t start so well and I have gnawing feeling that the week’s yet to go downhill at this point. I’m not liking that feeling at all. I know it’s barely halfway though the week but I’m really looking forward to Friday already. I want this week to be over with but there’s still so much to do at the office.

There ARE a couple of items that I am expecting to arrive within the next couple of weeks. First is figma Drossel which we’ve been hunting for for the longest time now and coffeebugg has finally managed to find time to pick it up from customs. Hopefully, he brings mine to the office tomorrow but it’s highly likely that I’ll get it near the end of the week. Another would be the 1/8 Kyouka Midarezaki that we got for a sweet deal. We’ve yet to receive a notice that it has arrived in customs for pickup. But I think I’ll have it at my desk by next week.

For now, I’ll be happy with my new figma Reika. Definitely a worthwhile acquisition. :3

figma Cute

This has been on my wishlist ever since I first saw this many moons ago when they announced a Queen’s Blade figma to be released as an exclusive bundle to the PSP game.

My friend coffeebugg told me today that he has three of those coming in this January and one of them doesn’t have an owner yet! So I told him right away that I’d be more than happy to take that owner-less figma off his hands.

The above image is one of the main reasons why I wanted to own this figma. :3

Keita: HGUC Hi-Nu HWS

Aaaaaaand Keita does it again. This time in HGUC fashion. This is his custom HGUC Hi-Nu Gundam HWS. You probably remember seeing those three letters at the end of the Nu Gundam designation.

I honestly don’t recall seeing a Hi-Nu Gundam with HWS parts. HWS parts were originally used on the Nu Gundam. And for those who played SRW, this was a nifty feature because it gave the Nu Gundam unit a double life ability (HWS gets destroyed, parts are jettisoned, Nu Gundam is new and shiny and damage-free).

Seeing the HWS parts on the Hi-Nu though is an interesting sight to see especially for this HGUC version which mimics the MG version that Bandai had released before. The HWS parts give it the proper bulky feel that the Hi-Nu was known for. See, the Nu Gundam was the slender, sleek version. The Hi-Nu was just a towering unit of massive firepower. Having the HWS parts added gives the HGUC Hi-Nu the girth to look menacing.

But this isn’t the first time HWS parts were considered to be used on the Hi-Nu. I remember Ngee Khiong mentioning Vicious Project and their conversion parts for the Master Grade version of the Hi-Nu. I’m just not too fond of the feet since they look like swimming flippers instead of mecha feet. But the HWS parts are pretty much loyal to the original Nu Gundam HWS parts design.

Hit up the image link to go to Keita’s site and see the rest of the images. It never fails to amaze me how he puts metal parts on such a small kit. And I absolutely love that massive white beam rifle.

The Aftermath

Remember yesterday when the Lil’ ‘Uns had an encounter with our resident bloodthirsty bear? Here’s what happened afterwards:

No, Gloomy’s not really dead. So rest assured that you’ll still see him harassing other Nendoroids on my office desk.

Today’s a Friday and yet somehow I feel bah-humbug about it. I’m definitely looking forward to the weekend and I can’t wait to spend some time with my girlfriend. But this past week has been some sort of emotional crawl for me and I don’t know why. It’s like I couldn’t figure out where to start on every work day I had this week. Hopefully, I get my head sorted out this coming weekend because I don’t like being in this sinkhole.

So what are your plans for the weekend?

Chillin’

The Lil’ ‘Uns Come For A Visit

And so coffeebugg’s Mini Kyoukas are here again for a visit. And this time, they brought along another friend: Puchi Churuya.

First thing they saw was Wadsworth, my DS Lite. One Mini Kyouka wanted to play right away. But it was charging and they couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. Then something else caught their attention…

Uh-oh… And I’m not even worried about the lil’ ‘uns…
