Update 3: Figures

Sorry for the delay, a bunch of IRL stuff happened at once and I was quite busy until now.

This is the 3rd update of my 1 year break (1 more to go, I hope). I need to do a review of the stuff I received in the last couple of months and I will be completely updated! I hope I'll be able to finish before I receive the Comic Market loot, because backtracking old loots is a pain in the ass and is much easier to review them as I receive them...

FIGURES

Since all the figures are already in display, I'll do a brief listing with only one picture of each. Also in some photos appears old figures, but I'm only referencing the new ones.

1/6 Shikinami Asuka Langley [Test Suit] by Amie Grand, sculpted by Suzu.  

Suzu is one of my favorite sculptors, and I buy every figure sculpted by him released by Amie Grand despite being extremely expensive (being polystone instead of PVC).

1/7 Selvaria Bles Swimsuit ver. by Alter, sculpted by Yagyuu Toshiyuki. Unlike previously released Selvaria figures, this one is close to RAITA's original design. 

FREEing yukata versions of Illya, Saber and Rin.

The limited edition of 1/8 Saber Lily Golden Caliburn sculpted by Kawahara Takayuki.

1/8 Saber Motored Cuirassier sculpted by Kawahara Takayuki (again).

Max Factory`s 1/8 Saber Zero Refined version sculpted by Kuroda Masanori (I kinda prefer the older version) and Griffon Enterprises 1/7 Nadia sculpted by Ohsaka Miki.

 

Phat Company's 1/8 Prisma Illya (Manga Version) sculpted by Mazaki Yuusuke.

 

  The extremely puny Chogokin Saber by Bandai.

 

Kotobukiya's Cu-poche Saber.

 

1/8 Wave figures of the Ryugu Komachi trio (Asuza, Iori and Ami) from iM@S, sculpted by Abira.

1/10 Saber Lily, 1/10 Saber [Zero ver.], 1/10 Saber Alter and 1/10 Saber Extra by Wave from the Beach Queens figure line.

A group photo: the Beach Queens figures of iDOLM@STER (only missing Yukiho and Ritsuko to complete the set) along with the TYPE-MOON Nendoroid Petit.

The rest of TYPE-MOON Nendoroid Petit.

Cheerful Japan campaing Nendoroids of Saber and Rin.

Nendoroid casual Saber.

Nendoroid Zero Saber.

Nendoroid Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Alice.

TYPE-MOON Figma: Phantasmoon Eclipse, Irisviel, Zero Saber, Kiritsugu and Saber Extra bride version along the regular one.

iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Figmas: Shibuya Rin and Futaba Anzu (Wonderfest exclusives).

Figmas from Muv-Luv series. Since I got Kagami Sumika along the games, I purchased Mitsurugi Meiya, and to complete the set Takamura Yui and Cryska Barchenowa from Total Eclipse as well.

Goodbye

This announcement has been coming for a long time. When I returned from Japan back in September of 2009 I lost half the will to keep with the blog, and that will was getting weaker and weaker until about a year ago, when I totally lost all of it.

I didn’t want to say it, and pretty much forced myself to keep with the blog, mostly as a token of gratitude to my followers, the people that I know in person and reads this blog from time to time and the people that keeps writting constructive comments... I’ve been trying to keep up to date this blog for quite a few months, lately I tried to increase the number of posts each month and even tried new things like doing the Mahou Tsukai no Yoru summary in "real time" but with no luck and forcing myself to do it just makes me loath it all the more.

Recently I got diagnosed a nervous breakdown. Now I'm reconsidering the priorities in my life and this blog is not in the top. I want to have one less pressure on my shoulders for now, one less stress so I can try and get myself back together once more.

So Soth's Blog is going on indefinite hiatus. I may return in a couple of months, a couple of years or perhaps I move to another chapter in my life and drop this blog for good, I don't know.

So as a goodbye I'm going to post all the stuff I received months ago and was unable to do a proper review:

1/6 Saber Extra by Clayz (sculpted by Miyagawa Takeshi), 1/6 Caster Extra by Phat (sculpted by iTANDi), 1/8 Minase Iori Ryugu Komachi Ver. by Wave (sculpted by Abira) and 1/6 Ayanami Rei Cross Ver. by Amie Grand (sculpted by Suzu)

Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Edition for PSP (not played),  Valkyria Chronicles 3 Complete Artworks (not opened to avoid spoilers), and the limited Black Label edition OVAs in Blu-ray (not even unwrapped).

Fate/complete material V Hollow material and Carnival Phantasm Official Guidebook

 THE iDOLM@STER Character Master, THE iDOLM@STER Platinum Album, THE iDOLM@STER DS Delicious Album, Marugoto iDOLM@STER For You! and THE iDOLM@STER Twins Precious Album Guidebook

Well, it's all for now. I hope to see you guys as soon as utterly possible,

Soth
