Xecty ~ Goddess of the Wind

She arrived just in the nick of time really, just before I came back to Leicester on sunday. She arrived in a huuuuge box. Biggest box I’ve got through the mail I think hehe. Biggest figure box too I think… she seems bigger than 1/6th scale, in my opinion, but I don’t have as many 1/6th as I do 1/8th, so could be wrong. Definately my biggest figure to date though.
I’ll have to box her back up for transporting on sunday, but I couldn’t not open her XD She’s too pretty. She is magnificent. A fine specimen. She’s got a great figure for a figure XD Tony Taka art is good like that, they’re not scarily Clamp thin lol.

Such a cute face 🙂 I do love Tony Taka artwork, ecchi though it may be XD

New light, New set up

Today I caved and got the light from Argos, £9.97, max height 52cm, an angle poisey affair. I went and got some bulbs from the pound shop near the market, no daylight bulbs sadly, I’ll need to find one/some from somewhere… I don’t think ordering light bulbs online would be the best idea though, ne?

I got some pretty papers for backgrounds too. And a plain yellow bit, since it would look great with Chie. And it does. Right??

SLR Practice

(Please note, this is not a digital camera I’m using. I’m using a plain old fashioned Nikon AF NIKKOR 28-100mm.(I think thats its name, if not, its Nikon F65 lol) No screen, no iso controll I know of…. that I’ve been taught of… if there is, someone tell me lol.)

Yesterday I’d got round to scanning my best SLR pics from the first shoot, from Castle Gardens. And the next set I did over yesterday and today I got on CD aswell as 6×4″ photos, so no scanning needed lol.

The first pics I’m gonna post are the scanned photos, my favourites at any rate. And this was my first time fiddling with an SLR camera. So I’m suprised more of them weren’t blurry or complete rubbish lol, only a few of the 72(2×36 exp) came out bad lol.

Probably one of my favourite pics. Because I got the flower in the center in focus but not all the rest, which was my aim lol. I think...

How many figures will a 360 Elite buy?

Image comes from Amazon

One of my biggest dilemma’s over the past year or so is, whether or not I should buy an Xbox 360. xJaymanx suggested I make a post about it, so I did, hehe. When I get one, it’ll almost definately be an Elite… So about £230 for the console itself, not in a bundle, in a bundle deal it would probably be like… £245, £260… I’m not worried about the games that would come in the bundle, since they’d be crap ones, probably sport games that the shop couldn’t shift on their own. I’m going by Gamestation, Amazon, GAME prices, since they’d be the places I’d most likely get one. So… onto the question… how many figures that I really want, not impulse buys, can a 360 Elite buy?

My Figure Set up – before uni moving… :sob:

This is what the top of my wardrobe looked like before I had to pack some figures away for transport. (Some being 4, Corti, Chie, Lucy and Haruhi)

This was after I moved alot of my mini figs to make room for the new gals, Bianca and Serio, Shion is down next to my laptop, along with the Strarf the Devil Type Busou Shinki.(who I will get round to posting about soon… I promise… I got 3 more on saturday aswell lol…. so cute….)

Just a pic I took while fiddling with camera settings, still haven’t got it fully worked out… I know… it’s sad… and I should be ashamed lol. Isn’t Koko lovely though?!!? She’s one of the figures I saw on one of Danny-san’s event photoshoots, and I knew I wanted her, that pose, the face, the hair! I loved her…(just realised I do have another shy-looking figure other than Serio lol…. I’ll change what I wrote…) I might do a little review thing of Koko, when I get her returned to me at uni, (am only allowed to bring limited figures to begin with… 4…:sob: but I’m bringing my Nendo Miku, Figma Haruhi and all 4 Busou Shinki’s too lol, and my Lucky Star Puchi Nendo’s. You can fit alot in the dead space in figure boxes. :icchan grin:

Search for Striped Pantsu

A tad bored, so decided to do a search for striped pantsu(or shimapan!). I might make it an aim to get as many figures with striped pantsu as possible. I know of two I could get already. I wonder how many more striped pantsu clad figures there are. Lots I hope. lol. Striped = Win.

Kallen was the first striped pantsu figure I came across in my search. I had no idea before now. I mean I liked the look of the figure before, but its just got so tempting to buy her now! And I know where she’s in stock… and quickly available… but I’ve never watched Code Geass. I like to know a bit about the figures I buy, but its not always necessary. Like with Corti-chan, I just saw her, recognised her from DC.com and grabbed as quick as possible!!! (£20 off the website price!!! That must have been from wrong-stickering…) This pic is from Riuva, a site which I find myself on quite a bit in recent weeks. Went there for the Yukari figure too lol. Coincidence?

Seena is another figure I’ve seen before and been sorely tempted to get, and I did know that she had striped pantsu, but I had forgotten before I saw the pictures on Daftlines blog. I still want her…. But something about Kallen is more tempting… the face? Pose? I’m not sure…. And her stripes arn’t even as nice as Seena’s… Seena’s are more like Chie’s. And Chie’s green stripes are awesome.

Stumbled upon this while google-image searching quickly. Komugi pantsu. lol. Stripes are too wide though… Image originated here.

This image also made a reappearence. Those who are frequenters of Dannychoo.com may well recognise this image from his news items. It came from this post. If only a figure with striped pantsu like the girl second from the right has…. that would be awesome. Awesome to the max. I love the little logo on the back.

And lastly, I came across this image from SankakuComplex. In was in the google image search too. I recognised the sankaku-com site, but had never stopped to take a better look around to my memory. So thats what I did lol. Tis pretty cool looking. May investigate more soon. (Thanks to Panther for pointing out the spelling mistake. I knew it looked wrong!!)

Thats the end of the striped pantsu search for today. Me tired. And me have ep 22 of Denno Coil to watch before bed. And if your wondering, my gaming as come to a temporary holt… which sucks…because all my friends will be WAY ahead of my when I go back on Asda… :sob: I’m too lazy to even play games… how lame is that??!!
