Artbook review: Xa Colors
I recently received a certain artbook from one of my favorite artist on deviantart gueuzav (Xa), he’s a french illustrator since 8 years and his style somehow combines the western comic look with anime. He also was the head designer of the MMORPG’s games DOFUS and Wakfu which I haven’t played so far. The book contains a varity of nice Illustrations which show original and game related characters. Im a fan of his characterdesigns and the vivid coloring.

Shinobu – Bakemonogatari by GSC
Today I will talk about Shinobu from Good Smile Company, as you might know she is based on the Bakemonogatari anime/light novel , imagine some people still haven’t watched it, how weird ;p
Bakemonogatari was well received by the audience and manufacturer Good Smile Company,
turned all of the 6 heroines of the show into 1/8 scaled figures, they were all based on the Blu Ray/DVD front cover illustrations. Other Companies like Kotobukiya or ALTER also made nice figures of that franchise, but from my impression Good Smile Company offered the better looking figures, overall. I was tempted to buy the figure of Kanbaru, but I was doomed by the sold out tag, actually I wanted to wait for a price discount. Unfortunately that never happened.
A few more month ago a prototype of Shinobu was shown at Wonderfestival. I really liked the cute appearance of her sitting on a donut pile with a vintage motorcycle helmet. So I waited for preorders being opened, her price was quite good and I better not wait for the sold out tag again.

Nekomura Iroha – Hello Kitty to Issho by Griffon
Referring to the vote, you wanted to see the review about the Nekomura Iroha figure first.
This figure was released on November, 30th 2011 and I received her as christmas present.
The figure has no specific scale, but since she has a height of 175 mm which makes her around the same size as the 1/8 scaled lat type Miku from GSC, this figure could be labeled as 1/8.
I haven’t heard many good things about Griffon Enterprises, the manufacturer of this Nekomura Iroha figure before. But I liked the design of this figure and wanted to give this company a try.
Nekomura Iroha is a vocaloid, she was originally designed by Sanrio, the company behind Hello Kitty for Comiket in 2009. Iroha’s voice provider is a professional singer, and thus she is cabable to sing in high and low tones. I listened to a few songs, but they weren’t really my cup of tea 
This song was a bit better than the rest. She was illustrated by manga artist okama, somehow I’ve never heard of a Nekomura Iroha vocaloid before. Well, Im not at home in the vocaloid culture so that shouldn’t mean anything to you

Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou made by Kotobukiya
When already running out of space you shouldn’t order old figures I would say XD
While I was searching for a cover illustration of the Nagasarete Airentou anime, a picture of a cute figure appeared and I was enchanted by her charming appearance and I wanted to see more of her. In the end I bought her on ebay, after I’ve asked the seller to make her cheaper, my price was quite bold, but luckily he accepted it, I wonder if he would have sold her for even less

Hachikuji Mayoi figma by Max Factory
Hi there Im here again after 18 days of abstinence, september was an empty month in terms of figures. Today I will present you one of my rare figma reviews. It’s old news that Im no big figma collector, but when I really like a certain figma, I won’t hesitate to buy it. So here we have figma number 105, Hachikuji Mayoi from the ultra cool Bakemonogatari universe. I aways liked her funny, lively and cute character in this anime and I already bought a scaled figure of her.
This figma was made by Max Factory, as elementary schoolgirl she only measures 12cm ^-^
sitting on my new 70mm lens - isn't she lovely

Hyper Nurse Painkiller Kotone-chan by Hobby Japan NSFW
Hi heres a new figure review of one of my latest purchases
This Hyper Nurse Painkiller Kotone-chan figure was an Hobby Japan magazine exclusive mailorder, which I’ve ordered via Tokyohunter, a proxy buyer service from japan. I placed my order on december the 2nd 2011, the official price tag was 8190 Yen, with proxy fee I paid 11500 Yen + 2600 Yen shipping, quite a lot but actually I didn’t care much about it.
Kotone chan is a new edition of the character made by Keumaya, who also made two other Kotone figures, one that looks similar to the new Kotone and a black version. The figure in this review is around 190 mm in height, no scale was mentioned but I would say it is something between 1/8 and 1/7 scale. This cute nurse figure was released in late june 2011.
Kotone chan made her first appearance in an old doujinshj manga. I really regret that I checked out this perverted crap in preperation for this review, honestly that was a quite disturbing experience, I wouldn’t recommend to read it, what has been seen can’t be unseen
The new Kotone appeared in a far more modest manga which was published in Hobby Japan magazine, she also takes part in the cool looking PSP Game Queens Gate Spiral Chaos.

New Preorders Part 8
Hi Folks I initially planned to bore you with a figure review of Kotone-chan, but my pc died a few days ago and it will take a bit longer to finish the whole review. So another post comes first, I will just show you my new preorders which I’ve placed in the last few months I waited with this post until I had at least 3 figures to write about. In short I call them the cool, the bold, the cute
