Athrun Zala G.E.M. Megahouse Gundam Seed Destiny HD Remaster Project

Just arrived today! Athrun Zala G.E.M. Series from Megehouse. SOOO COOL. Gundam Seed/Destiny are some of my favourite series so I'm really excited to get this. Much nicer quality than the original RAHDX figure of him. Tracking said it was going to be delivered today so I waited around for hours and the delivery man didn't arrive until 1. Turned out his van broke down and had to be repaired. Anyway, I had to start work at 2 so I didn't have enough time to take outside shots but, I'll get around to them tomorrow I think. For now I'll show you a few pictures I took when opening him up for the first time.

His head actually has a ball point joint in the neck so his head can swivel around which is pretty awesome. His hand on the arm reaching out can rotate around so if you want him to be holding the Haro you can. Two haros come with this figure, both the same colour but one has it's little 'wing's spread out and has a mustache drawn on his face (like the one Lacus draws in the show) and the other one has no mustache and it's 'wings' in. There are also two faces that you can put on Athrun. One is a more serious one but the other one has him smiling a little which is nice. The Base is somewhat basic but well done. At first in the pictures I thought he looked a little different than the show but since I've got him I think this figure was done really well. It's great to have another male figure in the collection. Too few of them I reckon.

This is the first pre order figure ever (That I didn't cancel) and it came from Amiami. Also the first time I've purchased from them so that was all pretty exciting as well. I've got Lacus pre ordered (She was supposed to come out with Athrun but got delayed until the end of November :( but yeah I'm pretty excited to get her and I'm REALLY excited for the Kira Yamato figure coming out next year. I can't wait to finally have a proper figurine of Kira in my collection. Up until now I've only had the I-doll one which was pretty basic. About time they made a figure of him! This lacus will be my Sixth figure of her. I have the 2 RAHDX of her, the large and small I-doll and the ball point doll of her. So yeah, overall I'm really excited to get them.
Here's a slide show of some of the other pictures I took (shipping box, figure box, figure inserts etc.)
You can see his serious face in this picture as well.

Here's some more photos of my Asuka Loppi figure. I took them outside so they turned out a lot nicer this time.

Luka Pics!

Here are the pics for Luka I promised.
Overall there isn't really anything bad to point out about this figure. There weren't any issues with the quality and as far as looks go it's up to the individual to decide.

The pose makes this figure pretty cool to look at and the size makes it stand out nicely.

I love the transparency in the hair on this figure.

Her mic is actually separate to the rest of the figure so you can put something else there if you like.

The record base.

And a slide show

Luka Megurine - Max Factory

The sun wasn't out today but I took a couple of photos. I take more photos on the next sunny day! For now I'll just say that I can't see any real flaws with this figure and I love the hair!

In my first review I did say I was going to include pictures of the boxes. You can find a few here in the slide show.

Rita Mordio - Alter - Tales of Vesperia

She arrived last Friday from Mandarake. I decided to try out DHL postage this time rather than EMS and it seems as though DHL is the way to go. About a day faster then the usual EMS and postage turns out pretty cheap!

Overall she's an awesome figure! If you like the game or the character then don't hesitate to get this. The detail, the paint and everything is really well done. There's nothing I can really complain about with this figure. There's also something about the skin colour they chose for the face on this figure that also works nicely. The best way to describe it is that it's more 'soft' than my other figures. I was really impressed with how well her eyes stand out too. The awesome greeny/teal colour in them looks really nice. If you're looking for figures with a great base then you'll love this. Alter put a lot of work into making the base look like a stone floor from an ancient city. It comes with all the cracks and dirt showing up as you'd expect. It really fits with the overall feel of the game. In fact, the whole figure itself matches the feel of Rita from the game. It's as if she just sprung out of the screen.

As usual here's a slide show of her. If you haven't worked it out yet you can view the pictures in a larger format if you click on the slideshow. As it was a nice (albeit hot) sunny day today I decided to take the photos outside. They seem to have turned out a lot nicer than usual with the natural light. There's also some close ups on her so you can see all the detail.

I also had no idea that the Tales of Vesperia figures from Alter were accompanied by a little caricature figure of the person as well. Needless to say, this turned out to be an awesome surprise when I opened the box!

Her head swivels too!

Stay tuned for Megurine Luka Tony Ver. by Max Factory! She should arrive by Tuesday.

Asuka Lawson Loppi Ver.

Along with Asuka Pajama Baby, I also got the Asuka Loppi Ver. by Lawson/Kotobukiya! Gotta say that this is one awesome figure! There's just something so unique about her compared to the other figures I've seen.

I've got a bunch of pics of this. Some with flash most without. I probably should have just taken this pictures when there was more light. Anyway, enjoy!

If you get the chance, don't hesitate to buy her!

Asuka Pajama Baby!

Just got my Asuka Pajama Baby White Version last Friday!

 Here's a slide show for you all!

Pretty cute overall and I'm glad I got her. From the pictures I definitely prefer the white over the pink version as well. Great figure if you can get her cheap like me!

Stay tuned for Asuka Loppi!
