Kotobukiya Black Widow – Leg paint issue?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 1:43 am

This is a video response to someone’s comment on my post: Photography – eternally time consuming.
I made it simply because I’m such a nice guy and I appreciate legit comments :) His comment was:

Hi. Can I ask you a quick question about your black widow figure.
I just bought this from forbiddenplanetcom and mine had really faded blue colour on the left knee, lower legs and boots. Does yours have anything like that? I’ve been trying to find pictures to compare it to but I could do with a second opinion. FP support were no help at all, cheers

To summarize: I found no problems with my statue.

Also, I <3 Kotobukiya and all Marvel and DC Bishoujo Series! Also, I bite the skin around my nails…but at least I clipped my nails and they look relatively clean. Sometimes…there’s this BLACK LINE underneath full of dirt, pencil lead, and decaying flesh. I won’t lie to you, it’s gross.

Solving the mystery killed her

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011 at 10:31 pm

This picture. I loved it for 10 months.

I ordered an iPhone case of it. I got it today, along with 3 other things: Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Black Cat Bishoujo Statue, Smashing Magazine Book 1 + Book 2, and 8″ Disney Toy Story 3 Peas in a Pod Bean Bag Plush

The Peas in the Pod are so cute! This plushie, which cost about $20 including shipping, used to go for $50 to 80 to 100 right after Toy Story 3 came out. I almost bought it for $50 but thank goodness I didn’t.

Anyways…this girl…after I solved the mystery, after I found a high res. picture, I no longer care for her. It’s no longer my iPhone background as of earlier today. There was something about the mystery of her. Where she came from. The picture I had was LQ so I couldn’t see the details, it was blurry. Not knowing was part of what made her beautiful. Like I said before, regarding the beauty of the Venus de Milo, part of the beauty is the mystery. What were her arms doing? What did they look like? She’s incomplete…and people can’t figure it out which makes it nag on their minds. They think it’s beauty, they think they’re captivated by it…but it’s really just their subconscious trying to put the puzzle together. Okay, that was an over-exaggeration. Maybe there’s a little beauty.

But anyways…sadly, I’ve lost quite a bit of interest in my used-to-be mystery girl. I have a new crush: this chick.

Mari Makinami

She’s got the glasses. She pilots a giant robot. She…um…I don’t know much else except that she’s a new, awesome character from Evangelion 2.0: You Can [Not] Advance Edit: ~~(which has some stellar animation)~~(which has the best animation I’ve EVER seen…EVER!). She’s taken over my iPhone wallpaper as of today. I ordered this a few days ago…

I CAN NOT wait for it to come… :D

Omnimon & Predaking galleries

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 at 12:51 am

I got my D-Arts Omnimon toy this month. As I played with it, I didn’t think there was much I could do with it. Sure, it came with 2 capes but the joints are awkward, you can’t position it like you might want. So I wasn’t too thrilled in doing a gallery for it but felt compelled to give Omnimon the same treatment as my Wargreymon post from earlier. Turns out…after taking some pictures, that you can do a LOT….I had a lot of fun taking the pictures, giving him poses. There was one problem, my photos were a bit too dark, they should have a white background, like most of my photos….oh well :( Anyways, here’s the Omnimon gallery, followed by my comparison chart between my D-Arts toy and an old Omnimon toy. That is my Wargreymon comparison chart (again). And below that are my Predaking shots.

Click on the images for a larger one

The Generation 1 Predaking reissue is huge so there really isn’t much you can do with it…I only have 8 shots and most aren’t dynamic at all. For a $200 toy, I was hoping my gallery would be epic…but alas, it’s just too clunky to take good shots.

On another note, it was great to pull out my photography stuff, after 4 months (which is pretty long). With taking photographs, manipulating them, posting about them (all to the sounds of ReBoot Season 3!), I’ve been doing this for about 6 hours now. It’s so time consuming…

Tomorrow: Zelda + Web Development. That’s my plan :) Nice to do stuff just for me…that was the plan of this weekend and so far, I’m fulfilling it…
