Revoltech Yamaguchi Gurren Lagann Part 1

Is it even necessary to introduce this guy?
Going from cutesy moe in the previous posting to hot-bloodiness of exponential level with this next review. ^^

Nendoroid Petit Racing Miku Set 2011 Ver. Part 2

Kagamine Rin & prize podium
A look at one of the three figures from Nendoroid Petit Racing Miku Set 2011 Ver. after the introduction yesterday. ^^

Randomly selected out of the three, Kagamine Rin (鏡音リン) will start off the review. ^^

The figure, her designated option part, and the display base parts.

Nendoroid Petit Racing Miku Set 2011 Ver. Part 1

The rare non-limited Racing Miku from Good Smile Company
Shifting from the review on a BB Senshi Gunpla the other day to a "SD" (Super Deformed) Nendoroid set this time. ^^

To me, Nendoroid figures are already the super deformed version of their normal-scaled characters, so the Petit series would be the super deformed version of the Nendoroid series itself. ^^

BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set Part 16 [Final]

Distance successor
Finally completing the review series on BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set with this posting, after starting on this bundled set more than two years ago. ^^;

More action poses from Nu Gundam normal and Heavy Weapon System (HWS) forms:

BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set Part 15

Five-part HWS pack
As a BB Senshi Gunpla, especially when it's an older release, the posability of this Nu Gundam is foreseeably low, but I'm going to do it anyway. ^^

BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set Part 14

Somewhat new proportion design for a somewhat new Nu Gundam
More images of the just completed Nu Gundam from BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set.

BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set Part 13

Super easy final assembly versus long-winded painting and detailing work
Moving from the review on an action figure, a very big one at that (Hot Toys 1/6 Alice) to the assembly of a Gunpla, and a very small one this time. ^^

Returning to BB Senshi Zeta Gundam & Nu Gundam Set after some 16 months (^^;) to complete the second kit from that bundled set: Nu Gundam.

Besides having other collectibles as "distractions" that kept cutting the queue of reviews on the blog, for some unknown reasons, I never had enough determination to go back to build Nu Gundam. ^^; Perhaps the realization that all the parts had been painted and detailed gave me the impression that I could easily go back to this kit and assembly it whenever I like, and that whenever is usually after long delays. ^^;

That's actually the case with most of my model kits. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 9 [Final]

Weapon & wardrobe combo 2
Another round of action poses featuring Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" after the previous posting to kick off this final part of the review series. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 8

Weapon & wardrobe combo 1
All action featuring Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" after the previous posting. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 7

Winter coat action
A round of action poses featuring Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" in her winter coat after introducing her new "form" in the previous posting. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 6

Not following the instructions
A look at Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" and her winter coat after the previous posting. ^^

The standard display base notwithstanding, the winter coat is easily the largest single-component accessory in this Hot Toys set. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 5

Weapon combo
All action with Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" after covering her weapon configuration in the previous posting. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 4

Unexpected die-cast part
Continuing the introduction on the weapons included for Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" after the previous posting. ^^

A katana and its sheath.

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 3

Restrictive boots, flexible hands
A continuation from the previous posting regarding the "base" figure of Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife": after the close examination on the figure's overall look and detailing, her articulation design is next. ^^

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 2

Show-stealing MOLLE vest
More images of Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Alice from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" without any weapon or accessory attached after the long in troduction in the previous posting. ^^

Unfortunately, the rigid shape of Alice's boots is not cooperating with the adjustment on her ankles for the figure to stand properly. To address that weakness in stability, the display base is needed to support even the simplest standing pose of the figure. ^^;

Hot Toys 1/6 Alice Part 1

For the love of Milla Jovovich, who cares if the movie was bad?
Notwithstanding the Dynamic Figure Stand, this is just the third item from Hot Toys to be reviewed on my blog, even though this particular figure has been in my collection since September 2011. ^^;

Since getting Medicom Toy's RAH Chunli in June 2009, I have been steadily adding more 1/6 scale action figures to my collection, but those exclusively from Hot Toys are still the niche among the bunch. ^^ Given that review series on 1/6 scale figures are already far and few between on my blog, with the last one being ZCGirl 1/6 Sniper Muriel Black Ver., Hot Toys reviews are going to be even rarer. ^^
