If I can I really want the pearl white version Saber that comes with the Fate Unlimited Code. But I dont wanna buy the game just for the figure.Back to the topic, there's a new figure revealed today, the Gift Saber 1/8 figure scheduled for December release. I'm skeptical of Gift figure as I haven't come across any nice figure released by Gift. But the figure has exactly what I want, silver armour, full dress with crystal-like skirting and the sword. The risk that I'm taking;1. Gift, being not as popular or reputable as other company2. The figure facial expression might turn out tasteless3. The metalic armour may turn out rough and ugly4. Figure turn out 80% uglier than the promo figure. I prefer the facial expression on the right.Nevertheless desptite all the risk I'm taking i have pre-ordered the Gift figure, cause it has the style and accessories that I want. If the quality comes out good, then I'll be overjoyed in December, else ......

I didnt check my blog stats but probably all my visitor think this blog is dead or probably dead.Havent got the time and energy to update since I start working. At the moment, I got about 6-7 projects on hand and practically exhausted most of the evening when I reached home.Anyway, I finally start assembling the MG Gundam Destiny which my bro gave me as a birthday gift back in Feb. Finished the body and the right arm.Currently watching only a few anime like; Code Geas R2, Soul Eater and Macross. Just pick up Dragon Destiny Guardian (Gee, they didnt even bother to sensor this time). By the way, over the last few months, I watched through One Piece, 359 chapters of them!As for manga, still the same; Cross Game and Tsubasa Chronicles. Glad that Hatsukoi Limited has finished, not really a fan apart from the female character designs. As usual, Conan and AMG are long-winded series that belong to never-ending story catergory. Air Gear, I only browse through when very bored.Ok, to the purpose of this post. Remember when 4 Mega Pixels was such a high-edge technology back in around 4 years ago? back then, 3.2M was the norm and I bought the Ixus 40 of 4Mpixels. It has served me very well, especially when I take photos of kids and need to be fast. Well, it has been years and I have decided to get a new one, an IXUS 85 IS, the slimest canon so far. It's a 10 Megapixel digital camera with latest tech such as image stabilizer, motion detectionand image noise reduction. I have also asked my bro to get an 8Gb SDHC memory card. Maybe I'll retake my figure or Gundam shot in near future to see the difference. ^^So a tribute to my old camera and a welcome to my new camera.

For those who read Hatsukoi Limited by Mizuki Kawashita, yes, chapter 32 is the finale!It takes about 10 chapters to get things started and then you mess the series with a bomberman during the Valentine's Day. Then the guys went on a trip and confess and then next chapter is Ending?So 32 chapter and 3 volume.... that's all after the comeback from Ichigo 100%????So all those love chains and dozens of characters ... and last only 32 chapters????(Why bother introducing new character every 2-3 weeks???)Thankfully I wasn't anticipating or expecting anything great from this series.... else I'll end up with frustration.

Yes, it has been rush hours everyday since I first start working but this is not a post to grumble on my working life.I recently got hold of Rush Hour Boxset, which I have been anticipating since Rush Hour 2. I waited until the third installment before purchasing the DVDs. I have been a fan of Jackie Chan since small because of his fighting choreography, flexibility and imaginative skills and of course his Asian humour.I was disappointed with Rush Hour 3 because there's no extra in that DVD. Did I bought it too early or what??? Both Rush Hour 1 & 2 have extras such as deleted scenes and other bonuses.Anyway, I'd love to see more sequel to the series as it has always been enjoyable to watch. But the gick sorta repeating nowadays and always one's getting older and the other's getting fatter.

Hurray, got my FFmini2 and Gundam fine markers today.The collection comprises 9 mini figures of 5 characters; Squall, Auron, Tifa, Ashe and Basch. I got doubles except for Basch which is good and I gave them to my brother, lucky him. I would have to say Auron is my favourite in this collection given the sunglasses and his attire up to his neck.Squall Leonhart, not bad but I would expect better gunblade quality and also more metalic to his accessories. .Auron, my favourite in this series. The hand is detachable. It dropped and I thought it was broken but It wasn't. Phew! The brilliant red colour sure make it more outstanding.How I wish the FFVII characters are in their FFVII Advent Children fashion. Tifa looks so much better in her AC attire. .Ashe looks very nice in certain angle but in another angle her lip's a bit weird in a way.Basch, my least favourite character in FFXII and also in this collection. Face just doesnt seem quite right????Pleased with this series and looking forward to more FF Trading Arts Mini in near future.For Final Fantasy Mini Collection 1, Visit here.By the way, the Gundam fine markers arrived at the same time, time to crack open my Extreme Blast Gundam Destiny and get it rolling!!!!!!!!!! (My brother nags at me constantly for not starting the assembly!)
