Iron Miku Suiting Up!

Posted by Lightning Sabre [www] 

Even though Iron Man 2 has been released in Asia for a week now, us North Americans only got to see it today, or midnight last night. I didn't want to go anywhere near the midnight showing :P Plus I was still finishing up this silly Iron Miku video at midnight last night. I did go see Iron Man 2 the morning after at 10 AM on the IMAX big screen!

This was inspired by Kodomut who played around with his Kagamiku and Drossel Figma so much that a lot of us (including myself) wanted to get a Drossel when there was a shortage! He single handedly created demand for Drossel, lol.

Anyway instead of just pictures, I thought to commemorate Iron Man 2's release by making a stop motion animation of Miku suiting up like Tony Stark did in the first movie! ... Unfortunately I'm too lazy and too busy to do stop motion, so I just did a slideshow sort of thing instead :P

The horror... The horror! I was experimenting how much of the pieces I can take off from Miku and Drossel each and see if they fit. I actually enjoyed trying to figure out the limits of what pieces can be taken off without breaking them ^^; And they fit quite well actually.

See more behind the scenes on my blog ^^

Since Miku's all dressed up, I thought I'd make more photos... Like this one. Eat your heart out Key. This is Miku, the Metal Idol.

And I thought I'd do a 4koma too while I'm at it ^_^

Maybe Miku is suiting up for the purposes of what's going on in the first panel. I actually just took random shots and compiled them into 4koma. It strangely works ^^; And Haruhi's plotting her revenge!

See "Food For Thought" to understand what happened in the first panel and "Moe (and Larry and Curly)" for the last panel reference. You can also read to the whole series on Melancholic Lily. Now with a revamped banner, lol.

So after seeing it on the first day at 10 AM... I liked it, but I think it didn't have the feel of the first one. I think Justin Hammer was really annoying... But I guess that means the actor, Sam Rockwell, did his job too well ^^; Black Widow was lookin' hot! War Machine and Iron Man are freaking badasses! I have to say some of the science is a bit complicated or felt like it came out of nowhere compared to the first movie, but I guess I should stop thinking while watching a blockbuster movie... ^^; Be sure to stay after the credits for some nerdgasm, lol.

I took this picture with my phone, so I apologize for the crappy quality. I'll come back to watch Iron Man 2 again and take a proper picture next time ;)

      LoL I guess it sorta does, but it's actually a background from inside the box of Drossel Figma. It's where Drossel lives in Fireball ^^

      Thanks! For a while they actually had a few Drossel in stock after it was sold out for months. I know where I can get one in store here ^^ I'd love to see it on MMD!

      Hahaha Great idea... Now I need a second Drossel Figma to customize with all sorts of weapon! On second thought, I don't have that much money to buy another Drossel. ^^;;;

    I am reminded how it was thought that Drossel was a mecha-miku when images first appeared... who knew it would prove true? (OωO)

      I wanted to do this earlier, but I wanted to time it so that it coincides with the release of Iron Man 2 ^_^
