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.

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.

End of June Updates

Hi everyone! Lots of random bits from the month of June. The UK heatwave was a joy and bane at the same time, while I was able to take advantage of the sunshine and get lots of photos done at the same time I was knocked out by the heat after work! Although I have loads of photos that should be posted, the problem I have had is date stamps. I used a digi camera I was unfamiliar with as my own was on loan. Luckily for me my old laptop with the full Adobe package has been fixed so I can go ahead and learn how to clone over offending yellow numbers.4  New figures are due for the first half of July including the much anticipated Asagi Taimanin figure by Liquid (which had been pushed back almost 3-4 months) and Mizore from Rosario Vampire!

Also added today are pictures from my Pre-Heresy model making project, I have a few photos of Warhammer 40k Space Marines from the Dark Angels chapter and some tanks. For those who don’t know, DiStudios used to be my old painting commissions site before I moved to WordPress and although I don’t paint to sell anymore I do dabble in a bit of painting here and there to help me relax.

Thanks for taking the time to look and until next time

Anime figures and Warhammer 40,000!

What a busy couple of weeks! Lots of work issues, a touch of flu (normal) and a host of random purchases all thrown into the mix has made the early portion of May busier then it should really be. Lots of goodies are expected this week including Airi from Queen’s Blade, Demonbane Metatron and a lovely figure from the Sengoku Lance line.

This weeks Arrivals, Orders and Anime

Greetings all, this weeks round up is a bit more discreet then the last weekend. I am awaiting on 2 orders from sellers I am not too familiar with and as a result I am a little apprehensive. I will keep a open mind however as situations are variable across the board. This week 2 very nice figures arrived on my doorstep, from Queen’s Gate Rebellion Annelotte and Nanbu Kaguya by Volks.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: Vol.1 – Special Edition

While I was away for the weekend my copy of the much anticipated UK release of “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” Anime arrived. The UK release has been handled by Beez who have opted for a four volume release which started at the end of May.
