New Pre-Order and its a good one!

Ok I made my pre-order for her today but I have been waiting for her for what seems ages! Queen’s Blade Risty by Excellent model easily the most anticipated figure since the release of the Queen’s Blade Anime. From  the outlook of the concept pictures, the wait has been worth it with the release date set for December I expect pre-orders to go fast not only because its Queen’s Blade by Excellent Model but also purely because Risty is such a cool character design.

End of July’s haul and a new Warmachine Blog?!

Hi guys…a relatively small haul for the end of July and with so much “extra” time on my hands you would expect more photos of my existing figure collection right? (whoops!). July saw the arrival finally of two anticipated figures that had constantly been pushed back in release by my supplier. But with this shipment out of the way my eyes are focusing towards what is looking like a very saturated September release schedule (hope my Credit Card can cope!).

Also as a result of the fairly light July of deliveries I have started a new Blog for the miniature wargame “Warmachine” I used to be a very big fan of the game and have only just gotten back into it after escaping the World of Warcraft (3 weeks and clean!). So now that I have gone cold turkey from my digital crack, I can finally can re-addicted to copious amounts of metal and plastic lol. For my readers who are interested in Warmachine, please visit my new Blog “Red Metal Panic”

Right with out further delay here are the figures

Todays arrivals!

A whole load of random things today which have brightened up this gloomy Thursday. 3 figures, 1 CD and a something random in the form of Elfen Lied which in my (biased) opinion is never a bad thing.

Sengoku Rance 1/5 FREEing – Uesugi Kenshin

From the eróge role playing game Sengoku Rance, FREEing’s 1/5 pvc pre painted Uesugi Kenshin. This is one very large figure with lots of detail. I have not seen or encountered the game, but had seen many figures of Uesugi Kenshin the combination of Samurai detail and anime cuteness was too much for me to resist. This is a castable figure with a host of extras including sword, armour plate, helmet and a giant size rice bun!

New Pre-Order Shining Wind & Queen’s Blade figures!

Pre-orders are up for Shining Wind’s Celestia by Kotobukiya (pics below) and Queen’s Blade Echidna by Griffon. Celestia is a very nice 1/8 scale pre paint pvc figure which is due to ship October this year. Echidna is a 1/7 pre paint pvc figure (castable) and also from Queen’s Blade Allean by Excellent Model, 1/8 scale pre paint pvc figure (castable). Both are set for a September 2009 release and like most of the Queen’s Blade figures before them, I expect pre orders to fill up very fast.

Needless to say my order has gone through already, adding to the growing number of figures for the later half of the year. Roll on Autumn 2009! To see the rest of my Shining Wind figures click here.

To get yours order with:

Pre-Heresy Rhino APC

Here is the first of 3 Space Marine Rhino APC’s, a transport vehicle for Space Marine infantry. I have opted to paint the interiors for these vehicles and time permitting for the support tanks I intend to add as the project progresses. I had a lot of fun painting this vehicle after sculpting the legs on 30 infantry, it was very therapeutic dry brushing the large areas of the tanks hull and then powdering it off with Tamiya weathering pastels. I am pleased with finished article and look forward to painting the remaining 2 transports.

Pre-Heresy Dark Angel Space Marines

Welcome to the first post and pictures for my Warhammer Dark Angels army. Though I have been working on this project for a while I have only now decided to share it while I get more of those Anime photos edited!

Here are some Wip shots of the Space Marine infantry that I am working on. They are based on the Doghouse Gothic design (a model maker) based on enlarging the Space Marines to more realistic proportions compared to the rest of the figure range (Space Marines are depicted as being 7ft tall).
