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

My summer WonFes wishlist!

It's that time of the year again when all the figure collectors gather to Makuhari Messe convention center in Japan to get a glimpse of the newest figures and model kits! In other words it's this summer's Wonder Festival 2015!

As usual there were many new figures that I need to get in my collection and here I've listed my highlights of the event. Let's begin! o/

Love Live! School idol Movie nendoroid petit girls! When I first saw the sneak peak of these I almost had a heart attack since I thought they're going to make yet another set of nendoroids. Luckily these are smaller nendoroid petit-figures which can be bought by set and with a much cheaper price than regular nendoroids. These movie outfits are one of my favourites so this is an instant must-buy!! (Eli with her hair untied... （人´∀`*）)

Goddamn Alter is going to kill me and take all my money... and the saddest part is that I will cladly give it to them with no regrets!! (╥ᆺ╥；) Alter makes the most prettiest and best quality Love Live-figures that I have ever seen and the price tag for these beauties makes you wanna desperately win the lottery... X"D I'm going to get at least 4 of these (Eli, Nozomi, Kotori and Rin) but after seeing the painted prototype of Nico I kinda want that too... And then I would only have 4 left so........ I'm going to eat nothing but noodles for the rest of my life! Goodbye munnies, it was nice knowing ya!

And then there was this one......... Σ(꒪◊꒪ ) *nosebleed*

I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ENOUGH FOR THIS ELI!! She's the most gorgeous, prettiest, hottest, cutest piece of plastic I have ever seen!! I couldn't be more happier to get this into my collection! The waifu-power is strong in this one! ♥ ♥

Then there were these super cute Sonicos! The first one is Racing Queen Sonico and OMG she's cute!! I'm a sucker for racing figures and finally being able to get racing Sonico into my collection is yet again one of my dreams come true! Her body looks extra soft and that face is one of the cutest I've ever seen in any Sonico figure (+ twin tails ofc!!) The other figure is Banpresto's prize figure and I can't wait to see it painted!! She's going to look stunning! I love that little starcloud she's skating on and look at those cute cakes...! So adorable! (> ω <) THAT'S how you make a great prize figure!

And of course there was a couple previews as well. I'm not so sure about that first one, I gotta see it first to make a final decision but the second one on the other hand..... SHE'S A MUST BUY. I was so bummed when I saw this love bomber Sonico garage kit a while ago, because I knew I could never have it. But luckily Ques Q heard my prayers and now they are going to release a pre-painted scale figure of it as well!! YAHHOOOO~!!

These Miku's are the only one's that I got my eyes on. The first one is from Rage of Bahamut - series and I was sooooo happy to hear that she's going to be released as a figure. I love the style in RoB and this Miku looks super pretty as well!! That other Miku on the other hand... I'm still kinda struggling wheter to get it or not. Her limbs gives me a bit of a daddy long legs - vibes and I think she would look much better if they would've pose it horizontally. Now she kinda looks like she's doing some weird ass kung-fu moves or something.... ( u__u )

 Only few new nendoroids this time! I'm such a huge fan of Yuru Yuri and I'm so happy that they're going to release Yui next (the first picture)!! I only have Kyouko right now but I try to find Akari from Japan so I can have all of the girls when Yui and Chinatsu are released! The second nendoroid, Hestia, is kinda on the maybe pile right now. I want to see more of her before making the final decision. Last but not least is the Big Boss from MGS V! We already have Solid Snake so of course we need Big Boss as well! Although I'd have preferred the MGS3 version over this one, but beggars can't be choosers and this is what we get! Haha!

Umaruuuuuun~~ She's just too adorable to pass by!!

Last but not least are these two. The first one is Yuzuruha from Oboro Muramasa-game. I hope to get Kongiku figure at some point as well because these two would look so gorgeus together!! Can't wait to see the paint job on Yuzuruha, I can only imagine how gorgeous she'll look! The other figure is Nakiri Erina from Shokugeki no Souma. I'm not a huge fan of Erina, but damn, this figure of her just looks unbelievably detailed and reflects her personality perfectly! So she's going to the maybe pile as well... XD

* * * * * * * * *

That's it for this years WonFest! Now I need to work even harder if I want to get all these figures and still be able to eat.... ehehehe. (not funny!) X"DD Did you find anything intresting from this summer's Wonder Festival?

Until next time ~ !!
