Latest addition to the Lunamaria figurine collection, i-voice doll Lunamaria Hawke featuring Maaya Sakamoto, acquired on my behalf by Stripey. I’m not big on gimmicks and the added maintenance issue for the voice record and playback worried me slightly but it’s a fine looking figurine and I like the pose too. It certainly looks much better than this Bandai model which doesn’t even feature the original seiyuu!
I wish Voice Recording 06 was for her Zaku launch sequence instead of that wretched Shinn-castoff Core Splendour. The transition from Zaku to Impulse also marks a WTF mauling of her character and I only managed to stay onboard the series to the end as I was consumed by the need to know if she was going to survive - the two important girls in Shinn’s life thusfar (i.e. Mayu and Stellar) had their lives cut short.
Upside, inside out she’s livin la vida Luna
She’ll push and pull you down, livin la vida Luna
She’s a ZAFT red and her skirt’s the colour mecha
She will wear you out livin la vida Luna Come On!
Livin la vida Luna, Come on!
She’s livin la vida Luna.
Woke up in Gilbratar in a trashed up Gouf
She took my heart and she took my money
she must’ve slipped me a merchandise bill
She never drinks the water and makes you order another figurine
Once you’ve had a taste of her you’ll never be the same
Yeah, she’ll make you go insane.
She’ll make buy her chara-stuff and threaten to kill your friends.
She’ll make you live her crazy life
but she’ll take away your pain like an Orthros beam cannon to your brain. Come On!
“Once you’ve had a taste of her you’ll never be the same
Yeah, she’ll make you go insane.”
Till she met Shinn Asuka,
and became a lobotomised star!

I struggled to the end for different reasons… I was hoping for her to dump Shinn. So yeah… Final Plus was a killer in terms of disappointment for me.
And yeah… if they talk about their marriage in future episodes, or worse, their offspring, I’m going to enter self-denial mode and pretend it never happened, just like how Nemu is not married to Junichi.
Deny… DENY!
I don’t get it. WHY?? But you really should do proper figurine reviews and take pictures of them. Take them outdoors and chill out, snap a few candid pics here and there with a suitable background. They are your children!
Yeah, Skane - I’m with you: See no Shinn, Hear no Shinn, Speak no Shinn.
tj_han86, oh yes I will be. When I get back to Singapore - Stripey’s been acquiring and taking care of them on my behalf.
Ah so her temple is coming along nicely. I asssume all proceeds from your single will got to fund for a golden idol err… innocuous shrine. After this hit song if I see you at the Republican Convention performing Livin La Vida Luna consider your temple destroyed. Such an act would lay plain your true loyalties and heresy is never tolerated or forgiven… ;)
This anime dry spell has made me desperate I may even finish witnessing the Destruction of Luna and the End of Shinn’s insignificant existence…, wait the bastard lives?
*gasp* you didn’t get the matching Lacus one too?! For shame ;)
i look forward to the day when customised cyborgs are feasible.
Maybe for the ‘Marciano Sisters’ figurines? ;)
