Long time no post

Well it's been a long time since I posted up here. Not that I haven't forgotten or anything... I've just been rather busy with life, so that been keeping me on edge.

Anyway we've only got weeks before AX comes up and I will take lots and lots of pictures. But in the mean time I guess the only exciting thing that's happened so far is that I've bought some magic cards to play with my friends and got the card I wanted very quickly.

Avacyn, Angel of Hope

Also preordered some figures and toys, nothing too much. After AX I'm going to try and hopefully buy lolita clothes again, or rather more frequently instead of just letting my clothing take a back seat to the real world. I love wearing lolita but it seems I haven't been making a lot of time for it lately. I think this mainly happened because a lot of my pieces are so extravagant, I need to get some clothes that aren't so formal compared to everything else.

Racing Miku figure-1/8 Scale

A very beautiful figure was released by Good Smile Company for preorder and I really, REALLY love it. It's a Vocaloid statue of Miku Hatsune-Racing Version.

Racing Miku's Design

As you can see it's a very interesting design and I really like her hair and costume. But how exactly does this translate into 3D? I think it was done very nicely.

Composite Image from Amiami

As you can see from the composite picture it's still has the same feel and gorgeous look as it does in the image. But her figure, pose and flowing hair add to the beauty of this figure.

Even from the backside, the form and the details are carefully payed attention to, which makes this a great figure on all sides.

And her face, her smile is really cute and I love the detail in her eyes. They just look so gentle and inviting.

Overall, I really love this figure and will be ordering it. This is most likely going to be my first Miku figure and a really cute and adorable one to boot.

Kneesocks Figure by Alter

So finally we get something that isn't a Panty or Stocking figure and I'm so happy about it. It's one of the demon sisters. Keesocks to be exact.

Kneesocks- Different Angles

She's really skinny, but then it's been a while since I've seen the show. I don't mind her body, but it's something I've forgotten about. Since seeing all the fanart of her... Well she's usually got big boobs to say the least. But from just the initial pictures I was sold and preordered her.

Kneesocks- Back side

I really do like her backside though, it's really cute. And those small little wings, so adorable >w< The picture does show how the difference in the painting reflects when you take picture of her. You can see the shine from the black and then all the matte coloring from everything else. She really looks good.

Kneesocks- Close up, face details

And now her face. One of my favorite features with her is that smirk. It's so amazing with that little snaggle tooth hanging out; quite cute and is a great adaptation from the anime. Also the detail in the eyes seems to be really good from what you can see. But man, that skin... That red skin. It's so beautiful of a color just like the anime.

Overall I'm really happy what she turned out to be, because I wasn't liking her prototype. But man, in color she won my heart. Now I'm just waiting for a Scanty...

Atelier Pierrot-New Dress

So I finally bought a new dress, I really wanted something new to wear for Anime Expo but yet I kept seeing I was drawn to the same colors (lol pink). So I decided I would get a new dress in a different color and style. So I bought a black dress from Atelier Pierrot in black with gold printing.

Tea Party Dress-Front

It's a very simple black dress with gold prints around it. I really like the simple design of it and the dress can be used outside of lolita so whenever I have some sort of event I need to dress up for, I could use this dress. I really do like the Alice in Wonderland type theme, and the bows are detachable.

Tea Party Dress-Back

The back has a bustle! Yay, I really like bustles, they're very fancy. And I've got some shirring to accommodate for my size as well. If it ends up being too tight, I might get the shirring removed but from the looks of it (and from other Atelier Pierrot items) I should be good with this one.

I'm still at a loss on how exactly I will coordinate it but I'm sure to have some great ideas popping into my head soon.

The Second Reproduction-First Impressions

Sometimes I just hate Otome Games. And I will tell you my rage with my first play through of "The Second Reproduction" by Heterodoxy. This is is going to be spoiler filled for the route I ended up going through... So when you see the part where I say >spoiler starts< skip if you're going to play the game.

The Second Reproduction info link from VNDB

Anyway this game deals with the age old humans vs demons Christianity=Good/Everyone Else=Die Heretics.

So you can already tell this game might be fucking sad... BIGGEST FUCKING UNDERSTATEMENT EVER. I'm a squishy kind of girl so this game made me cry about a couple of times on the route that I ended up playing and then quit afterward because I got so upset.

**Spoilers Start**
Basically because the country you come from is super religious (we're talking about these people are kind of really extremest about their religion) and your mom wants you to kill the last demon lord. And because you're a "Champion" (think of the knights of the Crusades) you're all OK I'll go into their land and just kill this guy. Your loyal knight tags along (he's actually really awesome and he's the other guy you can end up with).

So anyway you go confront the guy in his place and he says all sorts of saucy and racy crap.

Get a load of this guy... What a douche

Seriously, well anyway because I always go for the guys I like first I go through this half-demons route.

So after watching both of you die. Oh and your mom asks if you can commit suicide so that you don't look like a failure. You pretty much find the Deus Ex Machina of the game and get to try your luck at fate. And with the way I played I got the fucking bad end.

So everything goes as you would think... Until the end you confront your mom... And she kills you (because congrats you're a heretic). And then you're dying in your lovers arms and he just goes fucking insane at the end.

No seriously he goes INSANE. He turns you into a doll and then decides that since you got taken from him, he's going to kill every single fucking human.

Second End for Gardis-Doll Ending

**Spoilers End Here**

Seriously, he just fucking snapped. But I snapped too. Fucking made me really pissed. Like after this ending I deleted the game from my hard drive. And just decided to seethe for the next two days and make a post about it.

Anyway, after learning that I just got the bad end, I'm a little bit more put at ease since when I was playing the game I only saw so few picture spots so I was like. OH HELL NAH. But I'm glad there's more ending routes. I don't like sad endings like that.

I'll come back to the game at a later date, after the rage and sadness have died down and my heart is in a better state for the game. But I've got other games that I need to play through... Games that won't hurt this girl's heart.

RIO:Bone Stocking on preorder

Well today on Amiami there was the RIO:Bone Stocking pre-order. So I decided to get it since it will match my Panty (which is on the way).

Stocking by RIO:Bone

The pictures right now aren't really all that good, but you know, they're probably still the prototype. Or rather I am so hoping that it's the prototype. But she also comes with some things for Panty which is pretty awesome.

Glasses version of Panty and Stocking

The glasses look freakin' sweet. And you can only get them with the Stocking version. Honestly Stocking is my favorite of the two so I am really excited for her release. Hopefully the Demon Sisters will be coming out, but I'd take anything of them to be honest.

New Panty Design and Yui Figure

Well the RIO:Bone Panty got delayed till February along with the Puella Magi Madoka Magica petite nendoroids, but today I saw something quite neat. On Amiami they have the new finished action figure up instead of the prototype. Here is a link to where the old pictures are on my blog and now here is the new ones!

Final Panty Image from Amiami

You can see how much the face has been tweaked, the eyes have been changed and the face has been smoothed out more instead of rather chunky and for a lack of a better word... Derpy. I don't know if the lighting is better or the fact that there's a background but it looks so much better in my eyes.

Then comes a part I'm not so happy about; the back of her legs.

Backside View

The joint kind of seems wonky, specially from the back, they're not the little nubs that I'm used to seeing in like Figma or Revoltech but I'm wondering how it will actually hold up or were they used because of the weird drawing style Gainax chose to use in making the show.

You can also see that the open face was given the same treatment as the first picture. Man I love her expressions even more now. I am quite glad that I decided to preorder her.

I also saw something quite interesting if you like the anime K-On or are a Yui fan (I sure love Yui). It's by Kyo-Ani and it's a cute super deformed singing Yui.

Super Deformed Yui Normal Face

I love her hair and the glasses. She kind of reminds me of Arare from Doctor Slump. But what made me laugh even more was the other face she comes with.

Silly Deformed Yui Face

It's such a silly face. But man... It's so cute at the same time.
