Fast Typing

1187635561551

Yuki is the fastest typist out of all anime characters.

Just a very random short post today, to brag about my typing speed XD . Yeah, last Wednesday (27th May 2009), i participated in a typing record challenge held by my college. The task is to type around 2900 characters (including spaces and symbols) about Italy. The software used there is MaxLite Type.

The result? I’m not the first, but the SECOND fastest typist in my college, boo yeah! (hey… I’m an IT student and i do typing everyday, especially in coding). The result was measured by 3 parameters: average typing speed (in cpm not wpm), accuracy, and time completion.

I got 370cpm for average typing speed, 90.7% for accuracy, and 7 minutes 57 seconds for time completion. There were too many hard and unusual words, and that’s the reason i can’t reach my maximum speed. Glad i brought my own keyboard XD .

I’ve tried Typer Shark’s typing test lesson and reached 77 wpm at max and 69 wpm average. In a Facebook typing application, I’ve reached 80 wpm at max. So how’s your typing speed? Ever tried to measure yourself in typing? Just share your result here!

May gothic hauls

mayhaul_pabox

Early May Play-Asia box.

Back for another not-so-quick haul post, it’s for early May hauls. Bought them from Play-Asia and arrived way back in early May. There were 2 figures inside that box. They are: Asahina Mikuru gekisou version manufactured by Max Factory and Louise Gothic and Punk version manufactured by Alter.

 

mayhaul_box

Badly damaged boxes.

Talk about damaged boxes. This is the first time i received totally damaged boxes from EMS. And i think this is also the worst damage I’ve ever received in my whole figure collecting history. The top of the boxes were badly damaged and bent. I’m glad the figures are alright in perfect condition.

 

mayhaul-louise_inside

My 2nd Louise, both from Alter. 

So let’s just continue on and look at Louise first. She’s actually my 2nd Louise figure. I like her maid-ish gothic costume. That’s why i bought this figure. Now i have total of 2 Louise figures, and both figures are manufactured by Alter. Thanks Alter for bringing more goodies!

 

mayhaul-louise_front

Louise’s costume, one of a kind.

Some of you may say that her costume is maid costume. But she actually wears a gothic lolita styled clothes, not a maid costume. The colors, which are black and white, really trick you. A maid costume usually have those black and with tone on the costume, just like Louise’s costume in this figure.

 

mayhaul-louise_back

Her hair is full of ribbons.

Still regarding her costume. I never see her wears something like this before, not even in any illustration (or i never browse for any Louise’s illustrations). The next noticeable things on the figures are those red ribbons on attached on her hair. Adding some ribbons around her hairband is okay, but she got a LOT of ribbons attached on the back of her hair.

 

mayhaul-louise_nice2

She’s totally cute! XD

She’s damn cute with that expression. Totally cute! And her face is the 2nd reason i bought this figure. Louise isn’t all about tsuntsun or deredere expression all over her face. But having those tsundere expressions isn’t bad either.

 

mayhaul-louise_nice

No pantie shot for now, i saved it for the real review.

Whoops! Sorry, no pantie shot for now. Eventhough she did the skirt lifting, i still want to save the pantie shot for the real review. So just wait for it! XD

 

Moving on to next haul: Mikuru Gekisou

mayhaul-mikuru_inside

Bought Asahina Mikuru gekisou version not for series completion, but for her greatness!

The second part of the Gekisou series: Asahina Mikuru gekisou version. If you think that i bought her for series completion reason then you’re wrong. I bought this figure because i totally LIKE those girls (Haruhi, Mikuru, Yuki) in those gekisou costume. I’m not a crazy fan of Mikuru, but i know that this figure is great!

 

mayhaul-mikuru_front

Why don’t you make MOAR beauty like this MaxFact?

Lately, it’s pretty rare for Max Factory to release scaled figures like this. All they did was just focusing on more and more figmas. IMO, they just overdoing figmas and forgetting their usual 1/8 scaled PVC figures. Max Factory IMO has the best figure manufacturing skill in the world (even better than Alter), too bad if that skill used too much on figmas.

 

mayhaul-mikuru_back

Watch out for leaning problem.

This version of Mikuru is just too great! And IMO, this figure is the best Mikuru there ever was in this figure world. Oh and anyway, I’ve read some of Mikuru haul or review posts before i posted this, so I’m totally aware of the leaning problem of this figure has. I too kinda afraid of having her leaning towards her left. You see, only 1 leg connected to the base (and it’s not screwed on the base), and that leg isn’t standing straightly. I hope it doesn’t lean that quickly.

 

mayhaul-mikuru_nice

Gothic style? Maybe…

Her pink costume (plus those ribbons) really suits her. I love Mikuru in this style. Talk about her style, is it right if i say that her costume is kinda gothic style? With those ribbons and frills around her skirt and her cleavage. And maybe the previous Haruhi gekisou also has that gothic style costume.

 

mayhaul-mikuru_nice2

Cheerful Mikuru!

And another plus point for this figure is for seeing a very cheerful expression of Mikuru. She’s more than smiling here. She looks very happy while doing her singing, dancing, and clapping for the tambourine. A totally priceless expression here. XD

That’s it right now. Sorry for the late post. This semester almost reached its end, and that means I’m getting nearer and nearer to the deadline of my projects XP. That’s why, once again, i got a less and less time to post something up. Well… that’s it and see you at the next post!

Supermall Surabaya Toy and Hobby Fair 2009

ssthf

Supermall Surabaya Toy & Hobby Fair 2009 

I’m back for another event coverage: Supermall Surabaya Toy & Hobby Fair 2009, to make it short I’ll just call it SSTHF. FYI, this event was also ran by the same committee as the previous event, Surabaya Toy Expo. This event is pretty big, and has the widest area of event compared to the previous events, too bad there were too many unused space around, and the number of participant isn’t that high either.

Oh, in this chance I’ll try to give a new style of event coverage post. First, I’ll skip and won’t put American toys photos or even rant about it, that way you won’t hear my spam about American toys, which is not in our concern. Next, I’ll group the photos into certain categories and will give some comments around it.

First, I’ll just go directly into PVCs group:

ssthf_pvc

Old Figures.

I don’t know why, but the number of PVCs in this events was dropped greatly, compared to the previous Surabaya Toy Expo and Toy Magz Fair. If you look at the photo above, you’ll only see 3 special Japanese PVC figures: Mizuho bikini, another Mizuho, and Kasumi DOA. All of them are pretty much old PVCs. Oh and BTW, i think this store is the store who sold me Elwing bikini version (MaxFact).

 

ssthf_hobbystation

Hobby Station’s stand.

Moving on to Hobby Station stand, you’ll see figma Kyon, and some old PVCs: Teletha Testarossa, Ryoumou, Dreamtech Tamaki Kousaka, and some other old PVCs. I don’t know what’s the reason, but in their actual store, they had some great PVCs like GSC Miku, Alter Signum and Hayate, Haruhi Gothic, and some nice PVCs. Maybe they want to prevent buyers getting those great items in discounted price.

 

ssthf_saber

Saber, my favorite figure store.

And this is Saber, my favorite store. I’ve been checking Saber every 2-3 weeks, so these items were considered old to me. I’ve seen all of them in their actual store. Anyway, Saber got some cool collections, but i forgot to photograph all of them, so let me just mention those unphotographed collection: Complete Shuraki vol 1-5, GSC Miku, Max Ryuna Bikini, Alter Saber Maid and Saber Alter version (dark), Kotobukiya Rin, etc. Price? They got a great deal, especially at the last day, there were so many discount around.

 

ssthf_toysntoys

Toys ‘n Toys.

Toys ‘n Toys got some very old collections and also very cheap figures. But yeah, most of them were to old to recognize and i didn’t get very interested to get even one of them. Anyway, you still can find Rin and Sakura in their bikinis.

 

ssthf_wajuwa1

Wajuwa, view #1: figures!

And this is Wajuwa, with a lot of special figures lying around and waiting for some otakus to buy them. If you followed some of my coverages, you’ll notice that Vita has been there for almost 1 year (Toy Magz Fair, Surabaya Toy Expo, and Surabaya Anime and Toys Fair) and nobody bought her.

They also had some nice collections here: Teana Lanster (new here), Limit Gun, Kotobukiya Mao, Ryuna, and Blanc Neige. Alter’s Yuki bikini, etc.

 

ssthf_wajuwa2

Wajuwa view #2: nendoroids!

Wajuwa also had some nice set of nendoroids and figmas. You can see here: Nendoroid Tsukasa, Yoko, Saber Lion, Melissa Seraphy, Maritan, Pastel Ink, and Miyuki. And also figma Asakura Ryoko, Kagamine Ren, Shana, Saber, and Fate.

 

ssthf_wajuwa3

Wajuwa view #3: more figures! 

And still more from Wajuwa: GSC Unity May, Alter Haruhi, ALter Mina, Alter P3F Mitsuru and Elizabeth (i forgot, CMIIW), Haruhi and Mikuru live a live edition, and whatever… Eventhough they have nice collections, i held still and resisted myself from buying anything, just for economical reason, tried to be more careful in buying figures.

 

Next, we’ll move on to Gundam:

ssthf_extionz

Extionz, the only store that got a Sword Impulse MG.

Extionz got some nice stack of Gunpla. You can see MG kits of Sinanju, Shin Musha Gundam new version, Nu Gundam, and a Sword Impulse Gundam. I think this is the only store that already have Sword Impulse Gundam. That kits got a pretty nice artwork on the box cover.

 

ssthf_gundamrack

Rack of nice Gunpla kits.

A rack of Gunpla kits. I guess Sinanju is pretty popular nowadays. It’s pretty hard to see but in this rack there were nice kits like: Crossbone ver KA, Infinite Justice, Hyaku Shiki, Sword and Launcher Strike, Crossbone Gundam, and Destiny Gundam. Oh, i also spotted Godkeron here.

 

ssthf_gundamspecial

New and special Gunpla kits around.

Also another interesting Gunpla kits here like: new version of Shin Musha Gundam and Unicorn Gundam Ver Ka with Titanium Finish. I don’t really know about the Unicorn, but about the new Shin Musha, i heard from my bro, the new Musha got a better red armor and also even shinier gold edge.

 

ssthf_gundamstack

There was a Gundam F91 kit back there.

And here’s another interesting stack of Gunpla. Most of them were pretty much old stocks, like: Strike Noir, Destiny, Zeta Gundam ver 2.0, Unicorn Ver Ka, and Super Gundam. The only thing interesting here is this Gundam F91, large model (1/60 scale). I’ve seen Gundam F91 in Gundam Musou 2, but never really see a real Gundam F91 kit. Anyway, I’ve been searching for Keropla kits around, but i couldn’t find any.

And we’ll move on the last category, miscellaneous :

ssthf_collectorshouse

Some nice car models.

Some nice car models here. Lately, I’ve became a fans of Lancer Evolution X and been searching for a nice model of it, but never found one. It seems Nissan GTR R35 is even more popular than Lancer Evo X, found one of the model here.

 

ssthf_artclass

Random art class.

Another random art class, they really got some pretty nice drawings. But yeah… not really interesting for me. I prefer “drawing” using my camera and lights, not using pencil or some other drawing tools.

 

ssthf_komikaze

Komikaze, a cool book selling store.

Komikaze got a pretty interesting stand. They sold some nice rare PS2 games, rare comic and mangas (and even yaoi doujinshi!), rare magazine, and nice arts. Oh, and you can also see that Komikaze’s owner had a BJD (dolfie), but i never bother to ask where they bought / got it.

 

ssthf_magicandtshirt

2 random stands selling random stuffs.

And the last are just 2 random stands, one selling weird “doll” things, and the other selling T-shirt with anime or games picture on it.

 

I guess that’s all about the participant and stuff they sold, the rest are just small number of photos i took using my new lens, Canon EF100mm Macro. Enjoy!

ssthf_gnarms

Uhh… dunno what’s in the middle, but i think the weapon is GN ARMS (Gundam 00).

 

ssthf_kungfupanda

Kungfu Panda, haha… hey, it can move and even punch!

 

ssthf_happyfeet

Happy Feet penguin, it can’t dance, but it’s fluffy.

 

ssthf_wall-e

Wall-E, i watched the movie, and it’s funny. XD

Yeah… that’s all for this coverage, and i got bad news here: NO LOOT! XD . Yeah, the number of “hidden treasure” dropped, so no more loot for now. I think I’ll wait for new hauls, and the next event: Surabaya Toy Festival 2009 (6-7 June 2009).

Expect more hauls and some photoshoots. So… see you at the next post!

18 May 2009

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

lens_box Lens box, new equipment.

After a week of absence, at last I’m back for a new upgrade of my photography equipment. This time it’s a macro lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM. Yet another upgrade for my photography equipment and also an upgrade for my figure photography world. I can expect even more beautiful and sharp photos of my figures in the figure photo session.

 

lens_100mmNew lens at last!!!

After a year and more of waiting, i got this lens in hand. I’ve been wanting to get this lens for so long, and at last i bought this in NIX ‘09, the same place i bought my new Samsung 633NW monitor. Well anyway, this lens got a metal body, unlike the standard lens. It also got full manual focus and internal focus features.

Full manual focus : you can still adjust the focus even after you half-pressed the shutter button and got the object focus-locked. You can’t adjust lens focus after you focus-locked with non full manual focus lens.

Internal focus : the external part of the lens won’t rotate or move while focusing. External focus lens will have some part of it move while focusing, and it could be annoying if you use a lens filter like Circular Polarizer.

 

lens_equipment

So this is my main photography equipment.

So, including this macro lens, i already have 4 lenses in my equipment. Of course with the same body: Canon 400D, and one flash: Canon SpeedLite 580EXII.

Anyway, using macro lens isn’t as easy as i thought, especially if you play with small objects and small DOF area (using small aperture value). Even a small movement can cause you losing focus on certain object. Well, need some time to get use to it. I guess that’s all the rant, and let’s move on to some sample photos i took using this lens:

 

lens_sample-haruhi

Haruhi Gekisou’s face, looks so sharp, including the mic and the necklace.

 

lens_sample-louise

Louise’s face, even the plastic texture on her hair is visible using this lens.

 

lens_sample-mikuru2

Guess whose pantie?

 

lens_sample-mikuru

I took this sample photos while opening May haul, just expect the preview at later post.

 

lens_sample-rein

Alter Hayate’s Reinforce, it’s so small, yet this macro lens can cover it all.

 

lens_sample-yuki

Can you see the writing “Lock” (caps lock) and “Shift” below Yuki?

That’s it for the sample photos. It’s a pretty amazing lens! If you’re a DSLR user, and you’re into figure photography, then you should get a macro lens. I’ve been using this lens for a week, so you can consider this post is late. But oh well… better late than never.

That’s it for now! Expect more random things and also, an event coverage. See you at the next post!

09 May 2009

Louise Alter haul

louise_hljbox

Late HLJ box.

Yet another haul, which is kinda late for both the arrival and the post. This box was shipped before Haruhi gekisou and Yuki Alter, but because i used SAL for this order, it came later than SHnY haul. Anyway, let’s open up and see what’s inside.

 

louise_box Louise uniform version, manufactured by Alter.

It’s Louise uniform version from Zero no Tsukaima, manufactured by Alter. Some people also called this figure as Louise levitating version. Well… you can call it that because she’s floating. Anyway, it’s another great work from Alter, bringing Louise with her uniform into life. I like it!

 

louise_boxback Alter banzai!

As i said before, lately Alter has been releasing cool posed figure with their normal clothes on, like Haruhi, Yuki, and now Louise. I don’t know where did they get those ideas from, but that what’s makes them special. And that’s why i put Alter as my favorite manufacturer and keep buying their products.

 

louise_inside

Yah… her wand is removable, that’s all.

Just as predicted, this figure doesn’t have any alternate parts. And the base itself wasn’t separated with the figure in the packaging. Alter has already screwed the base to the figure support and also attached the support to Louise’s cape permanently. The only thing removable is her wand.

 

louise_front

Reason why you should by dynamic pose figure = visible pantie. XD

She got nice pose, especially because she’s showing off her pantie XD . Before this Louise, Alter also made Chua Churam’s pink pantie visible via her dynamic pose, and now they also did it to Louise.

 

louise_back

Louise with her beautiful pink hair.

It’s been a long since i watched Zero no Tsukaima so i kinda forgot, but is Louise’s hair that long? I never see Louise with so beautiful hair like this before. I was too focused on watching story and ended up missing some character details. Figures do help you realize character details you missed in while watching the anime.

 

louise_nice

She’s cute with that blushes.

Louise in the anime has soooo many expressions, and i think one of them is this cheerful face. This expression only occurs when she’s totally happy with Saito. Anyway, nice job from Alter, they added cute blushes on Louise’s cheeks. The blushes made Louise cuter than her usual appearance.

 

louise_nice2

My favorite character from the anime.

Whoops, pantsu showing… That’s what’s this figure about. Louise is my favorite character in my anime, and I’m glad i got this figure as my first Louise figure. I’ve been looking for a good looking Louise figure with her uniform on, and never found one. Thank you Alter for bringing my favorite character into life via this figure.

Well, that’s all the haul from April. Expect more figure photos and May haul in the next post. So… see you at the next post!

08 May 2009

Haruhi Gekisou and Yuki haul

aprloot_boxes Haruhi Gekisou and Yuki double haul.

Lately, I’ve been doing posts kinda late. Yeah… these 2 hauls were actually arrived around 1 month ago, got them photographed 2 weeks after that, and posted them right now. I bought them from Play-Asia, and combined both items in 1 order. I think this is one of the coolest haul in my figure collecting life.

 

aprloot_boxesback

  Haruhi Gekisou box looks pretty shiny, it’s cool!

I think Haruhi gekisou version is one of the most anticipated figure in Japanese PVC figures world, because well… first, it’s the first Haruhi 1/8 PVC that wears Gekisou get up. I know that there’s 1 Haruhi that also wears that Gekisou get up, but it’s the Nendo Puchi version. And also not to forget, this figure is made of Max Factory, which is IMO the best Japanese figures manufacturer in the world.

While Yuki is manufactured by Alter, i think isn’t as popular as this Haruhi, but she’s still a great buy, especially if you want to complete Alter’s SHnY dynamic pose figure series. Yeah, i said series, just like the first MaxFact’s SHnY series, Alter used Haruhi’s box design on Yuki’s box.

 

aprloot-yuki_inside

IMO the best Yuki out of all released Yuki figures.

Let’s start with Yuki. Just as predicted, this figure doesn’t have any alternate parts. And of course, you can’t take her spectacles off her hand, it’s permanent. There’s no peg on the base, also predictable, because she’s not standing. And well… i think this is one of the best Yuki out of all released Yuki figures.

 

aprloot-yuki_front

Pretty much ero / sensual pose, i like it.

This Yuki is the 3rd Yuki i have in my collection. My 1st Yuki is Nendo Yuki, and my 2nd Yuki is figma bad witch Yuki. But yeah… this is the first Yuki PVC i got in my collection. Yuki got a nice pose and looks pretty sensual. XD

 

aprloot-yuki_back

Alter’s idea for poses are great!

Alter’s always gives us something different. Lately, they’ve been releasing some characters with their normal clothes / costume, which is well… pretty normal and you’ve seen it everyday. But they still can make the difference in the pose, like active Haruhi, sensual Yuki, and levitating Louise.

 

aprloot-yuki_nice

Her expression is so deep.

See her face? I don’t know if Yuki ever did that face, but at least Alter made the face still in the boundary of Yuki silent personality. She looks like as if she’s begging for something… something unusual like, well you know it.

For now, let’s move on to the next figure, Haruhi Gekisou version.

 

aprloot-haruhi_inside

Haruhi Gekisou version, sorry, no alternate part.

I don’t know why people keep calling this figure Haruhi extravaganza version, while after the release date, people start to call this figure Haruhi gekisou version. Someone please tell me the meaning of the word “Gekisou”. I myself never found the word “extravaganza” on the box, so i called her Haruhi gekisou version.

 

aprloot-haruhi_front

Extraordinary!

She’s well… extraordinary! I mean, yeah… she’s one of the best, and i could fave her right away. Lately, Max Factory keeps focusing on projects like figma and all, so it’s pretty rare to see MaxFact releasing a new PVC figure. But once MaxFact released something, it would be something grand and extraordinary like this Haruhi gekisou.

 

aprloot-haruhi_back

Her extraordinary concert costume.

Anyway, this costume itself has been used twice in Haruhi world. First use was for Haruhi gekisou promotional illustrations. And the second use was for Hirano Aya’s costume at the concert itself. So well… the costume itself is pretty much extraordinary, and i think that’s one of the strong point of this figure.

 

  aprloot-haruhi_nice2

Haruhi with guitar FTW.

And oh yeah, she got her favorite guitar. As you may already knew, those chords aren’t just a normal hard plastic, but it’s something like a real string. Pretty cool huh! Yeah, this figure is a must have for all Haruhi fans, or even for all figure collectors. The price? Well, it’s pretty reasonable for “this time” and for the quality.

 

 aprloot-haruhi_nice

New and unique hairstyle!

And lastly, she got a very unique hairstyle here. Well… i won’t cover too much in here, you should wait for the complete review of this figure for now.

Well… that’s it for now, expect more haul and some more photos. For now, see you at the next post!

May Computer Upgrade

My Phone and Bluetooth

My SE W880i and Chronos Bluetooth devices.

I got 2 packages of computer upgrades this month. The first upgrade is about using bluetooth technology to make a remote system using cellphone. The second upgrade is about new computer peripherals.

Recently, i just discovered something great about my cellphone, Sony Ericsson W880i. My phone has a bluetooth remote services, for presentation, media player, and desktop. I think most of SE phone got this services already installed in it. The target is to get my phone works as a remote for my computer, so i can enjoy watching anime without getting up from the bed and move my mouse.

FYI, i got my Samsung HDTV 2nd HDMI port connected to my graphic card (Zotac GeForce 9600 GT AMP), and use a dual monitor setting. I always watch my anime in my HDTV using this settings, that’s why i can enjoy watching anime while lying in bed and have to get up again to move my mouse for the next / other episodes.

It’s pretty easy to set this up once you installed the bluetooth device. Just make sure that your bluetooth device (for computer) supports HID service (or other service you need). Pair your bluetooth installed computer with your phone, and activate (or choose) the HID services for your phone. That’s all… you can enjoy using your phone as a remote.

 may-comp_boxes

Samsung 633NW and a 3.5” HDD enclosure.

Next upgrade package contains a widescreen LCD monitor, Samsung 633NW, and a 3.5” HDD casing. My 2nd computer (which is the old AMD) used a Samsung CRT monitor, and it eats up much space and also sucks to many electricity. So i thought i give it a change with this new low end widescreen LCD, Samsung 633NW. Bought this for IDR 1million, or maybe around USD 95 in recent huge IT expo in Surabaya, NIX ‘09.

I also bought a HDD enclosure to make my 500GB anime-filled internal HDD ready to be mobile. Well, around the next month i do need to leave my HQ for a month, so bringing my anime is a mandatory for me, so i think this HDD enclosure is the solution for it.

 

may-comp_monitor

Samsung 633NW = low end, not recommended for quality.

Samsung 633NW is not a recommended monitor for you if you want a high end monitor. This monitor is a low end monitor with a nice design. It still have small area of active angle, and the color isn’t that good either. The reason i chose this monitor is because i need it just for downloading anime, yes…. My 2nd computer (AMD) lives only for anime download purpose. I turned it on day and night at least 15 hours per day. That’s why i decided to get a low end monitor, which also means a nice friendly price.

Well.. that’s all, a short post for today. Oh… and this is the first time i posted full blog post using Windows Live Writer. I do like it, with some nice effects and all, but still need some improvements. Just wait for the review… For now, see you at the next post.

Testing Windows Live Writer

Just a random unrelated Mio pic


I just downloaded new Windows Live Messenger, and also installed Windows Live Writer, so this post is just a usage test of the software…. For a complete review, just wait later until i tried all kind of features.

Nyx - Megahouse

Nyx.

Time for another figure photoshoot for this kinda old figure, Nyx. I've been busy lately and i seem to have less and less time to do my hobby, including watching anime, playing game, and doing photo session. So well... i have to keep my blog filled with some unpopular random filler posts. Enough ranting, here's the real deal.

Oh and don't forget, this post has some NSFW (but censored) pictures. So watch out when you proceed, especially the lower part of this post.


From Queen's Blade series.

I got Nyx back in January from my girl, as my birthday present. Nyx is yet another one of the Queen's Blade figures series from Megahouse. I never knew about Queen's Blade so i guess Nyx can be included as "bought her because she's looking good". Nyx is also my 2nd Megahouse figure, got right after Airi.


Her looks can kill.

She has the aura of "killing beauty". Overflowing with coolness, coming from her hair covered right eye. Those eyes can really kill you. It's kinda hard to guess her emotion from this face. She could be angry, or that's her usual appearance. Whatever it is, her face is sooo cool yet scary.


Nice sexy body indeed.

Talk about sexy body, she really got one. A really nice one! Queen's Blade itself has somewhat an ero theme inside, no wonder Nyx got a dynamite body. And she also wears a nice dress. I like her dress and her hair style first time i see her.


Something weird with her lips.

Megahouse really did a good job on painting her hair. The shading on her hair is well... great. She looks cool with her right eye covered. If you noticed, there's something weird about her lips. She looks as she's biting her lower lip. I don't know about you, but i do feel like that.


Enormous...

I don't know how i express it, but her breasts are AWESOME! Big... or you can say HUGE size. Some of you may hate this kind of breast shape, it's kinda over sized. But that's Queen's Blade for you, full of sexy girls and ecchiness.


Her left arm, with purple glossy glove.

Her left arm.... urgh... i don't know why but i think i don't have much to say about her left arm. It's just your usual arm, so well... I'll skip this one.


Her right arm.

Her right arm, with her hand grabbing that blue monster whip. You know, her purple glossy gloves are kinda cool, especially the paint. The glossy purple color is an unusual color for figure paint, so it looks cool. And also, this gloves' color matches well with the dress color.


Redder than actual, don't be tricked.

Her lower part of her dress, pretty cool, with that black-gold-red color combination, and fire shaped. Her dress her looks redder than the actual one. It's because of color manipulation I've done in Digital Photo Professional and my camera settings.


Nice butt.

Nice butt i say, but... you know Megahouse's Queen's Blade figures can be completely stripped to nude girl, so yeah... just skip this part and continue on to the NSFW part to see the real butt. XD


Higheels... and base.

Red higheels and purple stockings. Eventhough it looks good, especially on the painting, there's not much detail on it, so i guess it looks just too plain for a figure. Yeah... Nyx lacks of small pretty details, unlike Airi, so... this figure is somewhat plain and lacks of details IMO.


2 green thorny things.

She lacks of small details... yes. But she still has some nice and weird accessories, like this 2 thorny "tails" attached on her upper body. Those 2 things just for a normal fantasy accessories. But yeah, the left one falls easily, and it's pretty hard to reattach it. And oh yeah, those things are made of hard and thin plastic, so watch out... it could easily break.


What's that creepy blue tentacles thing?

Can you call this blue monster thing a whip? It does looks like a whip, but it's creepy and got some tentacles. I hate seeing tentacles, and i also hate tentacles hentai. So yeah... i don't really like this blue thing. Maybe this blue thing is Nyx's weapon, i don't know.... But anyway, it still has a nice sculpt and painting on it.


POI: dynamite body!

POI of this figure is of course, her dynamite body! She's tall, she's sexy, she has huge breasts, and she's beautiful. That's why her body is her POI. I never have a figure with sexy body like her, except maybe Airi, Elwing bikini, and Liu Meifeng.

Watch out dude, the next part is the NSFW part, so proceed with caution!


Full nude, Megahouse signature feature.

If you got a lingerie fetish, then Nyx is your figure. And watch out! She doesn't wear any pantie. For me... well, i don't really like seeing semi nude girls wearing lingerie, i guess they should just take off her lingerie and stay fully nude. So yeah... eventhough Nyx has a full cast off feature, i still don't like her lingerie and her gloves on.


Dynamite body with nice skin tone.

Whoops... dynamite body, version nude. Great! As usual, Megahouse provides us figures with full cast off feature, so they should maintain a good skin tone. And yeah.... Megahouse got a nice skin color and tone, even better than Alter's skin tone.


I can't make her looks totally nude.

I tried to take a photo of Nyx to make her looks as if she's totally nude, but i guess i failed. Unlike Airi, she got her lingerie and her gloves one. With those things on, i can't really make her looks totally nude.


Sorry... censored.

Enormous chest, except this time, the nude version. It's just to good to be true. I don't know how Nyx can fight with big breasts like that. Her breasts got a nice details on it, except it's censored.... so i can't say much about that.


Even better view of her nice butt.

Now that's what i called a real butt. Not too big, but proportional. And Megahouse made the butt curves really good, just like a real butt. Her stockings and lingerie also have some nice texture sculpt.


Uh oh...

Whoops, sorry for the last annoying and controversial photo. Don't expect "something" around the censored area. Eventhough it's censored, there's nothing behind the censor except a normal skin. I don't think Megahouse would get that far. Her stockings got a better details in front, like that gold heart shaped connectors and they're beautifully sculpted and painted.

That's it for Nyx... Do expect some more hauls and reviews. So... see you at the next post!
