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.

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

Random bits

In typical fashion I have been M.I.A with updates. On the plus side though I have a whole load of new photos which I will be editing after this post. The last month saw a huge arrival of random figures including quite a few Queen’s Blade figures from Excellent model and a beautiful figure of Uesugi Kenshin. Fingers crossed I can take full advantage of today’s awesome weather and get the huge back log of photo shoots done over the remains of this weekend.

With all these new figures I have run out of Detolf space, meaning I have had to use the old bok shelves for figure storage again. With this in mind I am planning a new Detolf purchase (around 2-3 cabinets at the same time) and should be installing the light system which I mentioned last month.

So many toys too little time.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the weather :-3
