Hi! Here are some random photos that I took in testing out my new Nikkor 50mm 1.8g lens! I am very happy with the results! Superb light intake and sharpness! I will be posting some reviews with regards to some of my new hauls soon. For now, enjoy the few photos! Loading might take a while since I uploaded the original full resolution photos so bear with it. 🙂
I have always been fascinated by the simplicity and elegance of building blocks. You can build anything you want with your imagination, up to the physical limitations of the blocks. I remember seeing the Nanoblocks for the first time in Singapore, and given that I have loved building blocks since I was a child, I instantly fell in love with the product, but not with its hefty price tag. Same with Lego building blocks, they’re quite expensive to fit into my budget and collect.
Then here comes an cheaper “imitation” for the Nanoblocks, yay! =3
Introducing LoZ Gift Series Diamond Blocks: Minion Dave:
Minion Dave is from the movie Despicable Me, if you haven’t watched the movie, you’re missing out! :p
Blocks count is 260 pieces according to the box, but I didn’t take the effort to count the block myself. It is challenging to build this guy because of the small blocks.
Of course it comes with instructions on how to build this guy.
It took me around 45 minutes to build him since I had trouble in the first few steps. It would be wise to have a pair of tweezers around to handle them, especially that I have thick fingers.
Some areas I built crudely since it was really hard to handle the single unit blocks.
While building, he seems to be flimsy at first, but when you finally complete Dave, he seems sturdy enough.
His back right side looks shitty, was lazy to fix it anymore. XD Anyway I’ll be displaying him front faced.
They have a lot more other characters on sale and I will be exploring them. 🙂
I miss blogging here and building gunplas, I hope I can allot time again for my hobby since I am busy right now with financial duties. 😀
Till next time! Thank you for viewing! 🙂
Here are the instruction sheet for people requesting it:
Hi guys! It’s been a while, I’ve been busy with a small business that I have put up. Anyway, here I present HG 1/144 Zaku III! Nothing fancy, it’s an old kit I’ve picked up a long time ago, it was produced year 1999 same as my MG Rick Dom. Its just a straight build and some simple panel lining, nothing more.
Hi guys! This going to be my first 1/7 PVC anime figure review! 1/7 Fate Testarossa Plain Clothes Ver. by Alter! I got her during the Philippine Toy Convention 2013 at the Hobby Japan magazine booth! They had a special offer in which they are selling “lucky bags” for only a thousand (Php1000) pesos! At first I thought it maybe a scam or it might not be worth it, but then again, those were real Japanese vendors from Hobby Japan, they came all the way to Japan to promote the seven deadly sins figures such as Leviathan(envy) and the others.
And so me and my friends tried to interview them a bit with regards to what were the contents of the “lucky bag”, they just said that it contained figures, then as we investigated further, we found out that inside the lucky bag contained a Limited Edition 1/7 Fate Testarossa figure, a Limited Edition Nendoroid that I will make a post later on, a seven deadly sins shirt, a seven deadly sin character mini scroll and a seven deadly sins sticker! And so we thought it’s already a super great deal! A PVC statue and a nendoroid for only 1000Php?! That’s beyond crazy and comprehension!
And so me and my friends got the deal, at first I planned to sell them rather than opening them, but upon posting the items for more than a week, nobody took notice of my posting and I also noticed that even one post in ebay that is already pretty old never got sold. There’s no demand sadly, but I’m still happy that I got a figure and a Nendoroid for only 1000Php! So why not open it and keep it in my collection! And so here we are!
I present to you 1/7 Fate Testarossa Plain Clothes Ver. from the 1st movie!:
Though I haven’t watched this anime before, maybe sometime in the future!
She’s really quite simple with a sadlike or meh facial expression. It’s hard to make out what kind of emotion she”s trying to express..
It’s annoying to see a tiny black mark on her left pig tail XD
Let’s get into the details:
I have no idea what the gold triangle she’s holding is, anyone can tell me?
The ribbon on her blouse is nicely sculpted, but like it could break if you bend it.
The frills on her skirt are nice, haven’t seen any paint bleeds.
One thing I’ve always liked about PVC figures that I have seen throughout other blogs are the nails! You can see the pinkish nails on her fingers.
No paint bleeds on her wristband also:
I like the sculpt of her hair, it’s nice and dynamic looking:
No paint bleed on her boots, I like that they made her boots glossy.
Clean thighs, no marks on her knees
Of course, no figure review would be complete without some pantsu shots!
Its amazing the detail of how they sculpt anime figures, from 2d anime to a 3d figure, just amazing!
Nice and glossy!
The base is simple and reflective, better than nothing.
Some close–up shots:
Overall, she’s a simple figure with no extra accessories or extra gimmicks but a nice figure to have because of the sculpt quality and a clean paint job. Had fun in taking photographs of her and its the 1st time I tried using some gimmicks on the background haha! I’m happy I got her for such a low price along with a Nendoroid. That’s it for today! Stay tuned for the Nendoroid post! 😀
Hi guys! Here is another of my figure photoshoot series! Again these figures are not mine, they belong to a friend of mine. All of them are various alien figures!
Hi guys! Here is a dragon from the Warrior Dragon Clan, he is one among many of McFarlane’s dragon series figures. He does not belong to me though, just did a photo-shoot of him at a friend’s house.

Hi guys! I went to the annual Toy Convention last Saturday and boy, there were a lot of people! The queue to the ticket booth was long! Good thing I went early and did not experience any lines. Though the tickets to the convention could actually be bought online, I guess a good number of people does not know that. Anyway, without further delay, here are my photos during the convention, it’s mostly toy displays:
