Fun! Although somewhat lacking in new anime figures this month. I’ll have to sort that out.

Got the cute Gift Yoko figure on Friday. This is a huge 1/5 scale figure, it’s very chunky and has a good weight to it. Yoko is from the anime series Gurren Lagann, and prefers to wear clothes that don’t hinder her in combat. This figure features her in her trademark bikini outfit, fixing her hair.

Lots of cool detail here. I love how she’s holding the skull badge in her mouth whilst she sorts her hair out. Very cute!

Very sexy from behind too :-p I love her spiky belt, it’s so cool!

I love the detail on the boots. The slightly undone zip is cool.

There’s not much to complain about with this figure. It could possibly be quite easy to lose the stick for her hair, it’s a seperate piece and could potentially fall out of her grip and get lost. I think the zippers could come off if you got a little careless handling her, too. I love the different textures on the figure, particularly her shiny black bikini and gloves against the matt paint elsewhere. The facial detail is excellent, really clean. The paintwork is top notch, I didn’t notice any significant errors in the paintjob.

It’s definitely a feature figure, and the size of it makes it ideal for display without being lost in the background. It also comes with a mirrored base, for aid in viewing those hard-to-see places, although she stands perfectly well without it if you don’t mind risking scratching the paint on her legs. The price tag is fairly hefty, but shop around and you might find it for less than £70.

Get it here!

So without further ado, enjoy:

Aaaand that’s it for now. The thread is still going, and Wii Music is the next one If you’re a GAFfer, give it a go.

Maybe if I knew people were reading this I’d had incentive.

I finally took the plunge and got myself an Xbox 360 Elite console to replace my old Premium Pro 20gig machine. It’s nice to have an Xbox with a working power button! It’s about 200% quieter than my old Monster Xbox 360, and a lovely shade of matt black that almost looks velvet-like! Woo Now I just need to migrate my data from my old 20gig HDD to my shiny new 120gigger! #^_O#

Oh yeah, the two 360 games there were free with the machine. Skate is awesome, but I can’t get to grips with those dual analogue controls. I keep pressing X or Y when trying to jump, I forget that you have to “ollie” or “nollie” with the sticks. Also, they keep misusing the English language, like, they’ll say “That’s a sick jump!” and I’ll be like, “What?”. Man. Skater slang is weird.

Ohh yeah, and my Lala Satalin Deviluke figure by Good Smile Company arrived <3 <3 <3 Pics after the break ^o^

Lala is the heroine-of-sorts in ToLoveRu, I guess you’d call it a super-ecchi ripoff of Urusei Yatsura (Boy meets Alien Girl, accidentally becomes Alien Girl’s future husband, actually fancies Human Girl, life threatened if he tries to reject Alien Girl… the age-old tale we’ve seen a billion times before ^o^) but it does have a certain… charm to the character designs. I like them, anyway.

The face is really cute, and I really like the pose of the figure. The Hat and Tail are removable, and there’s a spare hand holding a wand-thing which can replace the one closest to her face if you so wish! It’s pretty tall, too, at 1/8th scale.

^_^ Gotta try save some money now. Less than £500 to last me the rest of the month! Eek!

Aren’t these just the CUTEST?

The first one is a Figma, I think this is from Max Factory. It’s fully posable, and comes with loads of spare pieces, including a few facial expressions! The stand is great and allows you to pose her almost any way you can imagine

The second is a Nendoroid, by Good Smile. This is a ulta-cute figure, again with spare faces and a couple of other bits in the box. Sadly, the stand is absolutely useless – the head weighs a ton and I wish you luck making her stand of her own accord! Mine has taken up residence in a green tofu tank.

If you’re in the market for a Haruhi figure, I’d absolutely suggest heading the Figma route. All your fave characters are represented, and you can surely come up with some imaginative dioramas
