Flower of Thanatos

Waaa........ it' been a month since my last update >_<. Sorry about that... was seemingly busy these days... Anyways.... I've just received my Halloween Girl PVC yesterday from HLJ. Gosh.... it's been a while since I last bought a large scale figure....

There's no exact reason why I bought this. It's not like I know where the hell she came from.. but the whole composition of the set does really charmed me a lot..



For starters... the box she came from is certainly unique in its own way.. kinda remind me of a chocolate box....

To be frank... Initially I was quite afraid as the box is quite fragile and the fact I'm using normal SAL shipping method means that my package will less safe compared to EMS method. It took around 8 days to arrive from Japan. But thankfully, all is well



The figure comes with a lot accessories. Aside from the girl itself, the pumpkins she leaning on is movable and really helps a lot to shift the girl anywhere you like. Too bad the "not-so-scary" ghosts are fixed with their own base. Anyway.. the built quality of the accessories are really great and it did a good job to give a Halloween atmosphere.



As for the girl... it comes with a separable witch hat. Although it can be removed.. I still think she'd look better with her hat on. Oh, and another exciting feature is the outer clothing can be strip which makes this figure only suitable for 18 and above. And no... I won't post the pictures on my blog >_<.



As this is my first 1/6 scale figure, I'd say I'm absolutely SATISFIED with this figure. I tried to find any defects but thankfully can't find any. The overall built quality is impressive. The others accessories did a good job to add color to the girl. And it's certainly my best looking figure in my current collections.

Maybe the downside is the slightly price.. I even had to cancel my Kureha for this figure... But I still find it worth my bucks ^^

It seems like these days I'm visiting more figures-related blogs. Watching those pics makes me want to get a SLR camera for myself although I don't have any grands to do so (and the skills of course). I guess a normal digicam will do for now.

Nevertheless, it did somehow pushed me to post up my figures pics too. Admittedly, I'm not one of those guys who bought numerous figures per month, I'm just an average joe who collects figures which are nice to my eyes (and under my budget, of course).

One of my earliest purchase is Irina Marcillen from Genrin no Kishogun 2 (Princess General 2). It is originated from an erogame from Eushully. The game slightly differs from your average point and click erogame. It has a classic RPG element embedded in the game although the game obviously can't be compared to a FF style RPG.








I bought the figure for RM195 (around USD60) at Xl-Shop. In fact, it was my first figure I bought from XL. During that time, it was like my Golden Age for figures as I started indulging myself in the world of poison otakuism. (Including the heavy influences from Carol, Masaru and Hajime)

This 1/8 scaled figure is quite high quality. I could hardly see any paint defects or abnormalities. She's wearing a removable translucent robe and skirt which you can see through her inner cloths.

But I guess the main attraction point is the angel-like wings. They are attachable and in fact the only way to remove the outer cloths is by unattached the wings first.











I have been with Irina for more than a year although most of the time I sealed her inside her box to avoid direct sunlight. But I never even regretted buying her. She's really worth the bucks.

As a side note, I really need to learn basic photography skills. I think I have to put more lighting to the figure. Getting a DSLR is apparently quite impossible for me right now though...

After waiting for 11 days, I've finally recieve my package from Hobby Link Japan. This should be my 2nd time ordering figures for them. The first one is Gothic Lolita Guan Yu Kan-u Unchou (Maybe I'll post the pics later).

This time I bought the Dark Saber version of Kaiyodo Revoltech. Previously, they also produced the normal version of Saber, although I didn't manage to get them. As a side note, Dark Saber only make it's appearance in the Heaven's Feel arc in the Fate Stay Night game.
