And with the figurines: Ouch you guys have way more money to blow than I do I guess. I have enough trouble just keeping up with buying DVDs of the series I enjoy, let alone dropping money on figures. And IMHO while I am a big fan of anime, I'm not THAT big of a fan to purpose little figures I might break and rarely look at ^_^:; |

I thought that E2046 shop only did recasts. I bought some Marl Kingdom ones from whem way back in the day and they were recasts of a quality far below what was shown in their pictures.
I too preordered that Fate, so hopefully we'll all be getting them around the same time. By modifactions I mainly meant her clothes. You see, I have a Louise figure who's skirt comes off, a Hikari figure who's skirt comes off, a Shana figure who's skirt comes off, a Yurie figure who's clothing accessories come off and a Yayoi figure who's clothes come off entirely (leaving her with only a tiny pair of panties which don't hide the detail the painter put into the figure) and not a single one said that on the box or on HLJ's website. So I just don't want any "suprises", especially if I'm not the one to crack it open. I'd dread explaining to somebody about that. I tried to glue the clothes on so people wouldn't find out by accident, but my g/f caught me holding a figure down low with a clear/whitish goopy substance on her and let me tell you, that was embarassing and very misunderstood. |

I also had an order with animenation for a birthday gift and hlj unexpectedly released it before their claimed Dec31st date, so the transaction rejected. And animenation didn't even have my stuff! So in turn I get... NOTHING! That is until my card clears. |

Ouch, that's a lot of Nanoha stuff
As for the 31st, that should've looked like an estimate from the start. RIGHT at the end of the month? I like how they put all the shipping details and the box in too even though it's discontinued cus they're mean like that. Should've gone for EMS, it's cheaper somehow x.X Oh well, shipped just now anyway. Yay! |

Well, My GS Fate arrived today. Cutie and her resemblance is as good as it can get. The head and cloack are removable and the big semi-transparent sword can be placed in a provided transparent stand to hold it up. Fate stands on a semi-trasparent dark green magic circle. A very nice piece indeed.
Having said that, there appears to be some sort of small scratch on the back of the cape for some unknown reason, so I need to paint it a bit there. Overall, I'm very pleased, no missing part, all parts connected fine and only this minor defect for my unit. I might probably order the GS Nanoha, too, although I believe Alter's bears a greater resemblance to Nanoha out of all Nanoha figures, but GS's Nanoha has a good resemblance and is more impressive than both Movic's and Alter's. Ah... how money fly

Nanoha Takamachi 1/7 PVC
by Kotobukiya A Photo-show follows. Any clickable pictures give you a bigger 1600x1200 version. (Mods, I've made sure all pictures appearing here are below 20Kb in size. As again, let me know if you still want them to be taken down) What I really like about this figurine is her expression. That mean-edge expression we don't get to see enough of. Even her lips appear to be drawn out in a cold line. Details to the eyes are incredible; I like the way they included the under-eye shadow. Together with the pose, I love this because it reminds me of all the battles where she paused, leveled her stave at the opponent and well, "made friends." XD What might be a problem here tho, is the hair framing her face. I wish it could be less oblique. Features: Raising Heart Exelion Spoiler for raising heart is translucent red!:
Pantsu Boots Her shoes; with Flier Fin. They're detachable too. Pantsu Nice magical wings no? Base Sadly, defects are apparent and far-ranging in this model. Spots where plastic has chipped are obvious on the waves beneath her feet and on her Flier Fin wings. Anyway, base is an attempt to recreate the "platforms" they make in mid-air; I am glad its translucent. Did I say Pantsu? Overall All in all, this is a figurine of moderate quality. Colouring, expressions, proportions are all spot on; only it has obvious defects, especially with her clothes and equipment, which honestly dont seem to have been properly gone thru a finishing stage; with some edges still very rough and spots of paint missing at parts (check her cuffs). Having those detachable parts (well, at least for the Flier Fin wings) was not a good idea; much force is require to push them in, and even then they hardly fit. Despite all these tho, as the biggest figurine I have (at 1/7) it quite literally rules my desk right now (throwing all my other figures out of proportion lol; especially thin Eruruu), and rightly so, with that mean stance and expression! |

Well, Fate does have detachable parts, too, and you can take off her clock, and the sword is consisted of parts to fit properly in her hands but I believe it's a well made figure. I'll order the GC Nanoha probably soon, so I'll post my opinion about it when it arrives. Although my desktop is getting crowded - I had to move Ilya on my PC tower to have space for Fate.

LOL, blinded by panties Nah, they are there, it's pretty obvious. Digital vibrance is your friend Overall, the model seems nice from the photos. Although, between Fate and Nanoha, I am certain that if someone isn't wearing panties, it's Nanoha. Fate, for all her badass attitude in the first season and her usual battle attire comes off as pretty reserved to me.
