Bishoujo Statue: Juri Han

My bishoujo-collection got a new member some time ago. She's Juri Han, the baddest of the badasses from the video game called Street Fighter IV! I'm not a huge fan of Street Fighter games (TEKKEN FTW!!) but if I play it with my friends, I always play as Juri. She's South Korean and fights using Taekwondo. Her design is gorgeous and she's just the perfect villainess! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♥

Box art. Shunya Yamashita is the god of anime/manga art!!



With every bishoujo figure you get few different plastic decorations you can add on the stand. It's super nice detail in my opinion. I put the one with Juri's picture on my stand.



Here you can barely see the decoration on the base.





Isn't she beautiful?! I absolutely LOVE the color palette of this figure! Her pose is super cool and suits Juri perfectly! That spider on her back is creepy cool and I love how it's "legs" squeezes her boobs giving them extra softness. Mm-mm!! (Sorry, I sound like some pervert... XD) The hair is also very well done and the light hits it beautifully making it look more detailed. The paintwork on her skin is also top quality! Her back and belly looks so real! (ﾉﾟ 0ﾟ)ﾉ~





Close ups of her goodies! ♥



Her face is so well done and I love that tongue BUT there's a big minus of this figure as well... She can only be photographed from one angle. Her face looks gorgeous while taking photos like these in this post, but when you turn the figure even a little bit and try to take photo straight of her face, this happens:



I think she looks a bit herpty-derp from this angle. Her eyes and eyebrows looks weird and I think they made a big mistake with this. But not that it matters when everything else is so great with her! I just need to position her to the shelf so that no one can see her from the wrong angle... XDD



Photographed like this she's one sexy villainess! She just needs to work her best angles like all real models do! Haha! XD

Here's a small demonstration of Juri in action:

Nippon Day 3: Den Den Town

Keskiviikkona suunnitelmissa oli lähteä tsekkaamaan Nambaa ja erityisesti Osakan mini-Akihabaraa eli Den Den townia. Oltiin taas hyvissä ajoin jo liikenteessä ja napattiin lähikaupasta aamupalaks summan mutikkaan onigirit joiden mauista meil ei ollu aavistustakaan. Enkä vieläkään ollu ihan varma mitä siin mun onigirissa oli...

♡ Sword art Online ♡

Anyhow, Den Den Town löyty tosi nopeesti ja kyllä tuntu taas ihanalta olla erilaisten arcadejen, animekrääsäkauppojen ja maid-kahviloiden  ympäröimänä. Viipotettiin ensiks kaikki arcadet läpi missä oli UFO-catcher koneita enkä tiiä onks meijän ufo-touch vaan kadonnu vai onks nipponiitit vaikeuttanu kaikkia niit koneita...?! Ennen voitettii tavaraa vähintää joka toisesta koneesta ja nyt voitettiin just ja just sellanen pieni alpaka mulle. Ja siihenki meni ainaski 500 yen! Härskiä touhua! :D

Kokeilin myös uutta rytmipeliä nimeltä Mai Mai ja hullaannuin siihen täysin! Siellä mä tykitin täysillä Easy-tason biisejä ja kuvittelin olevani maailman valtias, kunnes mun jälkeen meni pelaamaan japanilainen joka veti sellasta settii et masennuin täysin ja päätin hylätä mun ihastukseni saman tien. Miks japanilaiset on niin hakoja kaikessa mitä ne tekee?

Käytiin myös maailman surkeimmassa Tekken-museossa joka oli yhen pelihallin sisällä. Odotin mainostuksen perusteella, et sielt tulee jotai mahtipontista mut siel oli tasan yks seinä, eikä muuten edes koko seinä, mis oli pari figuu ja sit yks vähän isompi standi missä Kazuya ja Jin lyö nyrkit yhteen. Fail!

Perheongelmia.

Arcade-sekoilun jälkeen alko shoppailu. Löydettiin vähän kaikkea kivaa turhaa sieltä täältä, mut jotenki olin vähä ihmeissäni kaiken hinnasta. Ennen tuntu, et figuja sai paljon edullisemmin! Tai ehkä meist on tullu vaa pihejä ja kuvitellaan, et kaiken löytää halvemmalla jostain. Anyhow, en tiedä what the hell happened mut yht'äkkii kerkes tulla jo ilta ja kaupat alko menee kii. Löysin vielä mun cherry on top-figuurin mut en raaskinu ostaa sitä ku tiesin, et tullaan vielä Tokioon ja hinta oli sen verran kova. Raskain mielin jätin sen figun sinne kauppaan ja päätin luottaa, et se löytyy myös Tokiosta. Pelottavaa, et jotkut figuurit voi saada noin voimakkaita tunteita esiin ku pähkäilin sen ostamisen kanssa. :D  Hello, my name is Janina and I'm a figureholic.

Den Den Townin saldo  (´∀｀)♡

No meijän Namban reissu tiivisty sitte vaan Den Den Townin reissuun, koska ei meil jääny aikaa tehä mitään muuta. XD Mut ei se mitää!! Otaku-puoli vei nyt vaa tällä kertaa voiton. Oh well.. Minkäs sitä itelleen mahtaa. :D

Soul Calibur V

Huhuhuhu.... Guess what we bought last friday?

Tadah! SOUL motherfuckin' CALIBUR V bitches!! I've been waiting for this game like forever and right now I couldn't be happier! WOHOO! Eventhough my first impression of the game was a bit disappointing, but after getting used to the new changes I absolutely love it!!

Ok, long story short.. Soul Calibur is a 3D fighting game where you fight with characters who wield different kind of weapons insted of just using bare fists like in Tekken or Dead or Alive. SC has some crappy storyline which usually includes the corrupted evil sword Soul Edge that needs to be destroyed with the "good sword" Soul Calibur. SC V's story takes place 17 years after the events of Soul Calibur IV so many of the games original characters have been replaced with new fighters. It's nice to have some new blood on the game but I still think some of them are just too cheap-ass clones from the previous characters. Thankfully there's few brand new fighters with really unique fighting styles that are really great addition to the series!

I've always considered Soul Calibur as one of my favourite fighting games and it's mostly because of the weapons and character creation. Usually fighting games tend to have only those utterly boring fistfights with nothing special in them so Soul Calibur definetly is a nice change to that bunch! But character creation is the thing that makes SC so great! With it you can make your own characters into the game. You can customize characters body, hair, armor, tatoos, voice etc. etc. You can customize in-game characters too! I usually spend more time to create characters other than playing the actual game! Custom characters really makes the game much more fun to play. XD Soul Calibur V is also beginner-friendly (imo), so don't worry if you haven't played fighting games before. You can still kick some ass!

There's also guest characters in Soul Calibur-games. In SC IV there was Darth Vader, the Apprentice (from Star Wars Forces Unleashed-game) and Yoda. Now the game have only one guest character, Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed-series. There's also "Soul of Devil Jin" (from Tekken) which is extra fighting style that you can use on custom characters.

But then the bad part (for me that is)... The BIGGEST UNFORGIVING MINUS in the Soul Calibur V is that Tira's (my ultimate favourite char) voice actor has changed!! My heart was broken when I heard Tira speak for the first time in the game. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) How dare they replace Jennifer Hale (for example Mass Effects fem. Shepard's voice) with some random dudette?!? Grrraaahh!! Oh well... I got over it pretty soon since I found myself another favourite character besides Tira, and she is...

Isn't she pretty? ( ^3^) ~ ♥

I've seriously kicked ass with my new fighter-lady!! Our friends are coming over on Friday so then we'll see if I can walk the walk. Haha!

That's all for now, sorry for the games-only updates but you know me...
Gotta love those games. ♥
