Woke up one morning to find a huge box on my doorstep - opened it to find a ton of free figure samples sent buy the guys n gals over at HobbyStuff4U @.@
Included was recent figures like Tenshi-san1 and Louise from Zero no Tsukaima (will take photos today). Today we are going to look at a re-release of Mizugi Takase in her white bikini battle gear.
Already have the green limited edition but I personally prefer the white. For some reason the faces look different - probably due to the position of the fringe. Notice how the fringe of the white version is lower than the green.
Mizuki has a rather noticeable join on her left arm but unlike Mine Blue which had a ton of other faults, this Mizuki figure is perfect everywhere else - just look at her huge pair of eyes ^^;

If there was a huge earthquake and I had to grab one figure - I think this would probably be the one. But when Fauna comes out it would be her. But it wait, it could be Mirei-san. Hmmmm, the amount of decisions to be made during an earthquake heh?

Thanks to HobbyStuff4U for the sample - you can get this version of Mizuki at their site and get 5% off the total price when you mention "dannychoo.com" in their notes field when placing an order.

BTW, added one of these pics to the wallpaper pool.

Lucky you! I wouldn't mind getting surprises like that on my doorstep once in a while. Hobbystuff4u has been good to you, it's like early christmas, or birthday! Consider me jealous. I agree the white version is better. I think it's just a better color scheme overall.

Nice figures!
Looks like twins more than anything else...!
I like the first picture with the Pro Acguy. Why should it hide?

You lucky, getting a free box full of figures just like that... Got to put a BIG ad for them as a reward?

Come on, you should rescue your wife first (maybe other people of possible) and some money in case of an earthquake. You can buy figures later, except if they are not available anymore...

You did know that already? Just joking. But there are things you just can't buy and life is one of them. Obvious enough.

Nice figures - not too keen on her style of eyes (ocular) though - theyre too big! I love the pose and her curves though! Nice bit of dynamic hair too.
Not fair - i want free figures :-(

Good photography - natural, sunny light is much better than any studio lighting.

BTW - I cant believe more people would rather save their figures than family in an earthquake! Sheesh!

Id rescure Figures, because I spent a lot of time & effort building/obtaining them. (london aint exactly the best place to get these models & any place that does sell them does so at ripoff prices) which is more then what my parents ever did for me :/ I still live with my parents but Im more a lodger then a Son. I dont get involved with their business & they dont get involved with mine. unless your my mum of course she really gets on my nerves by sticking her nose in things. so yeah! SAVE THE FIGURES/MODELS!!!!!!! I waited over frinken 5 years just for 1/60 Wing Zero Endless Waltz Custom Special Edition & Im not going to let anything touch it!! No 'act of god' will ever lay a finger on my precious!!

wow i wanna free samples too (sob..sob) 

eh how come more ppl vote for figures rather than family? at least if we go for family, then they can help us get those figures back (whether they like it or not... haha). but if we go for figures first, then can the figures help us get our family back? o_O

I would rescue my family first so that they could rescue my figures, even though I only have 5 figures...

That first picture would make a great wallpaper ^^

You have too many figures which are dangerous as you may trip over them when trying to escape from your house.
I will be a good citizen and take some from you ;-)

If given choice of saving family or figure 1st during natural disaster, I choose family. Save them, as human life values the most in the world. (",)

But then again, it may because I don't have any figurine worthy enough to br saved from? ^0^/

One question, will Danny Choo risk his head from anything bad to save his Darling wife first or look after the lifeless figurine? :P

I'm loving their details!  The white one looks slightly more mature than the green one for some reason -- possibly due to what you observed -- the height of the fringe ^^
