Volks 1/7 Fate T. Harlaown (Outdoor Shoot)
I was quite grumpy when I took Fate out of her box and gave her the once over. There are numerous issues with the figure in my possession such as poor casting hair), sloppy painting (torso) and a loose fit for the lower hand that wields one of the twin Riot Zanber blade [I'll elaborate on those when I post the indoor shoot photos].
Power games in Midchilda, Playing politics in Lilian
If Subaru was anything like Mami, she would really do well in the senior ranks of the TSAB; you need to be a cunning little raccoon dog ("chibi tanuki" was what Major Nakajima called her after realizing how he'd been manoeuvred by her) to survive there, like Hayate - was what I found myself thinking as I watched the negotiation, about the Card Treasure Hunt, between the Yamayurikai and Lilian Newspaper in Ep 10.
I've long wondered: Why does the Mistress of the Night Sky require a whole phalanx of guardian knights when she's rated SS?
Why does Nanoha serve?
I am delighted to hear the news of forthcoming 25 year old Nanoha. Because it means the possibility of seeing MOAR Nanoha x Fate yuri love love.
In a timely note, DKellis posed and explored a fascinating question: Could Nanoha refuse to join the TSAB?
Join the TSAB! Travel to exotic, distant worlds, meet exciting, unusual people and *befriend* them.
My initial reaction was: Why the heck wouldn't she join?
Tsundere as the proof of yuri
DKellis writes, re: Teana Lanster -
She may or may not be intended as a tsundere character, especially with the complete lack of a male love interest for most of the characters... I like her because her interactions with Subaru have lots of potential for comedy
And yuri! The way I see it, her tsundere is directed mostly at Subaru. Which is why I suppose fan works, such as by Ashita wa Docchida, tend to portray her love interest as being... Subaru.
Babes with Blades
My figure collection ushers in the Year of the Ox with the arrival of my first ever 1/7 purchases: GSC Ryougi Shiki and Alter Signum. They have been posted to the Babes with Blades sub-unit to join Alter Fate. It will be perfect if I can get my hands on Volks Fate. *fingers crossed*
Argh, this is a terrible photo even by my low standards. The flash rebounded like crazy off the gloss veneer of the plywood. Worse of all, the angle of the shot has Sig-nee's face obscured by her own right fist and sword. orz In any case, I've also been thinking of getting a glass door custom made for this shelf to ward off the dust.
First off, I've been rather worried about Signum's one-legged stance. Even though I was assured that the leg has been strengthened, I've heard from J that the peg on the stand itself has broken off for some Taiwanese collectors. It'll be such a pain if said broken peg is stuck in the sole in Sig-nee's right boot. I was thinking of getting some form of support. So far, the $3.20 doll stand from Art Friend can't fit neatly underneath her arms due to the distance between the support clasps and the base of the figure stand and doll stand. OTL May have to go for a custom-made acrylic stand. Stripey recommended a shop in Bras Basah (whose name currently escapes me... I tried googling it but no one seems to remember either LOL). I'll be most happy to hear any advice, suggestions from readers on sourcing and design of such a stand.
