August Loot

Posted by GabrielVH [www] 

One box yesterday, and another today - they do like to time it so they arrive together don't they! lol
But who can complain, with such awesome and gorgeous things awaiting me 'eh? ^^

Lets get this show on the road..

This is what arrived today. All safe and sound, in probably the largest box I've yet had shipped to me. Seena arrived yesterday, in a box about half this size - all to herself. The differences between AmiAmi and Hobby Search packaging maybe?

First up for a box-shot is Misaka Mikoto from Railgun. Misaka is one of my all time favourite girls, and I even have a secret project underway ^^

Next we have 'Oboro Muramasa Momohime' - whether that's the character or anime - I honestly couldn't tell you ^^
All I do know is, I saw her and immediately pre-ordered her just because of how stunning she looked.

Next is Mio in her Moe~Moe~Kyun~! Pose. Truly epic, I couldn't miss out on her.

Last up is Vivio. I've still yet to watch any complete series of Nanoha, but even then I still like many of the characters, and already have a few Nanoha / Fate / Teana figures here.

Forgive me if some of these shots are slightly noisey or very-slightly out of focus / blurred. I shot all of these freehand with an ISO of 1600. I've found a tripod too restrictive in the past, which why I did without it.

I do like her pose, it's dynamic and typical of something she might pull off herself - but she does lack some 'Oomph', I'm not sure what, but maybe some of you know what I mean.

Mouseover = load notes.

She comes with a changeable left arm, which is either normal or holding her 'iron-particle-sword-of-awesome'.

Close-up of the sword - it's got a good texture to it.

When you've just gotta make sure that pose stays in the right position! XD

"Moe~ Moe~.... Kyun!~"

You simply can't have Mio without Shimapan

Isn't she beautiful?

The detail and overall look / feel of her is amazing - so glad I bought her.

She has two styles - one with her katana in it's sheath.

Mouseover = load notes.

And one with the Katana out, ready for battle!

Here's the very awesome and powerfully-posed Vivio.

Quite the tight-fitting suit you have there.

Last, but by no means least is Seena. I didn't get the chance to take a box photo of her unfortunately, and here she's even standing on Mikoto's box ^^;
But she's much better out of the box anyway, wouldn't you agree? ;)

Mouseover = load notes.
August Loot

Cute, gorgeous, hot, sexy - any more words to describe?

Mouseover = load notes.
August Loot

Mmm ^^ XD

Mouseover = load notes.
August Loot

Sunlight at the beach, maybe? (I think these lights get just about as hot as the Sun itself)

Mouseover = load notes.
August Loot

Her skirt is, of course, removable.

Mouseover = load notes.

*explosive bloodnose*

Mouseover = load notes.
August Loot

She's so beautiful, she's simply glowing!

/end bad pun

Hope you enjoyed the photos, I know I enjoyed taking them and getting my new loot ready for display.

I honestly can't remember if I have more turning up in August, I guess we will have to wait and see XD

Thanks for reading!

    That's Momohime from the Wii game Oboro Muramasa (or Muramasa: The Demon Blade as its known in the West). Someone else recently did a post about the figure. I agree, its a really beautiful figure and has peaked my interest for trying out the game.

      It's hard to tell from the instructions how exactly it's meant to be positioned. It says to have the shorter 'spark' towards the top, but then the diagram beneath shows the bottom right spark going behind her chest, not in-front as it does now o.O

    Great loot! Still waiting for some of my stuff to arrive.

    ISO at 1600? Your room is lacking enough light. ^ ^;

      Thanks! - Hope your stuff arrives soon.

      Yeah - the thing is, if I turn on anymore lights I will cook myself XD
      Warm weather + insulation + super hot lights = epic heat fail.

        Well actually I started out on around 400, but as the evening went on I was using 1600 by about 10:00PM

    Great selection of figures, congrats! :D

    Personally, I'd have bought just the same ones, especially Momohime and Vivio. The only thing that bugs me is that I can't play the game and haven't seen the anime yet, so it feels kinda wrong for me to get those two figures.
    And with Saber being delayed and Akiha still in transit I don't know how my funds will fare if I decide to get them ^^

      Thanks! :)

      Yeah I used to be like that - if I didn't 'know' the character, I didn't think I should get it.
      Though now I just go by whether I think the figure itself is amazing / beautiful or just a must-get ^^
