Heh - nice idea on the sound recording. One of my friends did that for an animated video he was producing. Shibuya crossing is an awesome place though - i never got bored crossing it whenever i visited Tokyo. Made my skin tingle at night.
Looks nice, but im not keen on the gratuitous ripped clothes! Her mouth looks a little odd too. I dont think it looks anywhere near as good as the Gift Yoko figure. Got my pre-order on that one n____n
Stop at the sunshine city hotel like i did, and you get to go in all these shops (the 7 storey Animate! shop was the best) on the way to the train station every day! You can even see them out the window when you wake up of the morning n____n
Haha - ace. I'd be pretty creeped out walking around and posing for photos in a suit that blocks out your sense of touch! Were you completely oblivious to that til you saw the photo?
Wow, thats some mighty fine CG! It was only the splotchy shadows that gave it away for me. Vray has very long render times, so i can understand it you lowered the render quality a bit! Excellent work though - looks very authentic, right down to the j...
Great coverage. Ive been to quite a few matsuris on my various trips to Tokyo as they often coincide with the new year and sakura season. I just LOVE the food there. Its really cruel as you eat til you are full, then you keep seeing stalls selling in...
Hm, half naked 10 year olds flying around with plane parts for legs... I think ill give this a miss and add it to my reasons why i dont watch much anime these days! Even if it does have a great story, it just looks like pervy loli / mecha otaku eye-c...
Erm... Time! Im doing some freelance at the moment, and im going to china for a month in October. Hopefully, ill come back refreshed and more inspired. I think im just generally a bit fed up of 3d - its too saturated now. Its not as special or as exc...
Yawn¬! Im REALLY bored of the billions of ikkitousen figures out there - theyre just all tits and ass, with no charm or character. Miniature plastic prostitutes, if you will! Nice discussion. I recognise my skills, but im currently undergoing somethi...
By the way, what the HELL is that bag of tentacles with the pic of the girl sucking on one? Some sort of snack? A figure prop? Either way, they dont look very appetising.
I picked up quite a few ecchi things on my trips there. Last time (as we were stopping in ikebukero) we were in anime shops every day on the way to the station, so i brough 3 or 4 thick hentai comics. On a previous trip, i went nuts in Lammtarra and...
My PC hardly ever crashes. I dont do that much on it - just mainly internetting, with a bit of 3d modeling on the side. No gaming or anything particularly processor-intesive.
Blimey! Am i the first? Some nice pics there - i frickin LOVE the Yoko nendoroid - ill be getting that. As for the poll, generally, i much prefer standard scale non-poseable figures as the quality and likeness is much better, they are larger, have no...
Oh, and before the Cobra picture, that mech is a boss from Gradius 5! Wow - i didnt think they made figures based on such obscure things. Love that Lost planet VS too.
That life-size Patlabor ingram looks intresting. Was it a cosplay? I saw a great looking figure of the UN mechs from the start of the Patlabor 2 movie - want! Hm, the 'ecchi' stuff seems positively tame compared to that WTF figure you posted a while...
My post didnt get hijacked, it got shot down! I honestly think this is the best damn cosplay ive ever seen - mainly because the Mirei-san figure tickles all of my fancies.
Some ace figures there! That unpainted Yoko one looks awesome. She looks a bit shunya yamashita-ish though? As for model making skills - i used to make airfix kits, but nothing since then. Id rather stick to PVC - less hassle, and better quality tha...
Damn, that Yoko revoltech looks LUSH! I think i might overcome my fear of poseable figures and pre-order it. I really like that prototype of the sexy pool playing woman too. Nice.
Im a city bloke. Im fascinated by the urban jungle which humankind has made itself, and i love just looking at stuff and taking it all in. The same can be said for the beach too - nature is amazing, but id just get sunburnt!
Looks ace. It does look better than i initially thought the production version looked, but then i never thought it looked that bad anyway. Still kinda glad i cancelled my pre order ages ago though - im on a real strict figure diet now as i lack space...
Me AGAIN - damn, wheres that edit comment button! Just thought id ask - where in shinjuku is that new cinema? I never saw any large construction project when i last went to Tokyo in january, but then again - the japanese are super quick when it comes...
Oh, and im kinda surprised about the IKEA light - i have one of those floor standing lights with the cylindrical cloth shade, and its lasted me about 5 years, with none of the 3 energy-saving bulbs expiring yet! Best thing ive ever brought from ikea.
Great pics, sir! These are my favourite bits of your blog by far - the slice of life entries that make me wish i lived in Japan so much! I love that reddish-brown hair colour that so many young Japanese women wear. I was convinced that it was natural...
I already canceled my pre-order of this a while ago because i need the money, and im trying to cut down on clutter. I noticed that the skin is now a more matte finish though. The eyes dont look as striking as before too. Still an ace figure, but im s...
Ive personally not brought a second hand figure, but ive sold LOADS of my old figures on ebay no problem, with many, many satisfied customers. I look after my figures, and keep the boxes for this reason, and if there are any defects or faults (broken...
