Acsta’s Subary Nakjima from action figure form the anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is an great collection item. It’s not as superb as Alter Fate Testarossa or not even nearly the beauty of Gwendolyn. I quickly checked the wings around her feet as I were dulled last time with a Subaru having 2 left feet. Obviously a two left feet Subaru is a kinda rare mistake, so Acsta’s figure has a right and left feet (on the good sites XD). The box comes with three various faces: happy, angry and a determined face. On the end I kept the laughing face as I already have a full-blow-for-your-*ss Subaru from Alter. Read on to learn more about the figure or read the Alter Subaru post for a bit more information about Subaru.

Racing the highways and slamming the fiends with a physical assault. A fierce ‘melee’ warrior, quick, agile and relentless fighter in the world of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha … That must be Subaru Nakajima. Subaru is introduced in the last season of Nanoha named StrikerS. Along her friend Teana Lanster she makes her way to the 6th devision created by Hayate Yagami.

When Subaru was young a terrible fire broke out. She had struggled and cried for her sister between the burning furnitures of the building until a pillar started to collapse. She fell down and cried and yelled as she was going to die. Suddenly a pillar  moved but froze in it’s fall. Behind the dark shadows of the pillar a friendly smile appeared. Nanoha safed her, she called out  her magical device Raging Heart and casted her famous ’starlight buster’. A moment later Subaru found herself safe. Nanoha’s warm arms wove the the cold breeze of the lonely night which dazed before her eyes as they fly to in the sky. As she rose her eyes she would meet Nanoha’s friendly smile as the dazing stars passes. In that moment she promised to be brave. Then she broke in tears and awaited her big sister.

I’ve spotted some Nanoha nendroids at nekomagic. Nekomagic have some nice shots from the Hobby Complex 07 which was held in Tokyo. Among these there nendoroids there were also several Nanoha figures I wasn’t familiar with. I’ve copy-pasted the Nanoha images here on hirvine, since I’m a big Nanoha fan. To view all the photos of the Hobby Comple 07, Tokyo , please visit nekomagic.

Shamal is one of the wolkenritters in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s and StrikerS. Together with Vita, Signum and Zafira she makes part of party to protect the master of the book of darkness, Hayate. Her device is called “Clear Wind” which is alike a two diamond shaped stones carved on two rings each. Shamal wears the rings on her forefinger and the second on her ringfinger.

In battle she doesn’t directly merges into battle, as her strength isn’t physical attended. Instead she casts curses and steals magic from her victims’ Linker Core’s. A linker core is the heart of a magician in which magic flows from. Without a linker core, the magician has no magic and so cannot cast spells. A linker core can be broken if Shamal leeches a longer period.

It is Shamal’s duty to keep an eye on the group and transfer the adsorbed magic to the book of darkness and fill it. She acts like the mother of the group.

At first I like to mention I did not put all figures of  “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha” series in this overview. It was way too much and I had to split things up in parts. This overview is part 1. If any can provide me with more information, please do.
At second I won’t order the figures on date, name or whatever. I might do it if I get time :/.

I hope you like the little overview of Nanoha Figures.

Look at that! Didn’t  I tell you, nowadays a Nanoha figure is published on the month. This month first Nanoha figure release is set by Good Smile. Good Smile had already made a couple of figures, but they all sticked to the anime. This is actually the first figure lose from the anime.

While Good Smile, Alter and Max Factory made splendid figures as A+ publishers we do see ‘new’ publishers Volks M.O.E. and CM’s Corperation on the market. Wow, isn’t that great or what?! I’m a Nanoha fan, which loves more and more ^^. (Crisis? … Where? )

Since a lot of these figures comes out these days, I thought it would be great to sum them all up. Unluckily that post won’t be ready during the week. So I present for now these Nanoha Takamachi Swimsuit images which were placed two days earlier at Good Smile Nanoha Takamachi Swimsuit. So you can either click the link or read on to view the at this blog. Full credits, obviously, to Good Smile’s photographers.

At last I hope you look forward to a nice summary of all Nanoha figures out here.
I will probably ignore (read forget) a few out here, but at least I tried.
A friend of my said: -”Actually you want to sum them all up and check those you didn’t bought yet.”
… (me) Do I really sell this make up story thát cheaply .. oh man. Hehe, nice start 2009 I say! First month almost done.. I luv the year!

Lately a lot of figures of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha are released. The good old series I watched a few years back turns out to be a giant success. Magical Girl Lyircal Nanoha has 3 seasons and a coming movie. The movie though is an alternate storyline of the first season. The characters are slimmed down and appeals more childishness.  I remember people shouted ‘loli’ soon after the first episodes  were on TV. … Nanoha is about small magical girls (children) which get nippleless nude in the transformation part for ~3-5 seconds. I still don’t really know why they had to make some nudeness. >.>

At any case, considering I’m a BIG Nanoha fan, I united an Alter Vita figure into my collection ealier this month. The Alter Vita is in white and red. The white Vita is the Alter Unison Vita, which is Vita in unison mode. Vita and Reinforce Zwei is able to combine their strength in a so called unison mode. Though I chose for the ‘red/common’ Vita, since I find red more appealing.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is one of my favorite anime series. Being around the third? anime I ever watched. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has 3 seasons worth to watch. In short Magical Girl is a typically Magical Girl genre. A girl finds a magic creature, obtain magic powers, transforms, somehow her magical skill is great and becomes a fully fledge magician. All seasons hold child abuse. Please remark in the last season StrikerS people get seriously hurt! For information I refer you to the blog post.

Also StrikerS, takes Nanoha to the grown up world. Having a job at the time-space administration bureau. So finally the relation!

The PVC is Nanoha Takamachi in StrikerS wearing the time-space administration bureau uniform. Nanoha looks great and the uniform looks alike the anime. Though I don’t love her pose, I can’t imagine Nanoha will ever take this pose. I bought the figure to complete my collection. But sssshhh! Don’t tell mom! Read on for a full fledge review.

I could not help myself from posting. I had to inform you about this remarkable ‘news’, say better issue. Ever since I became addicted of figures I’m in contest with my wallet and collection. This epic battle will continue until the end of days. Still I find claiming large sums of money for a nice and quality figure okay. However, ebay prices are pushing the limit. The sum of money is really huge. See the list of ebay Fate Testarossa figures. You know, Fate Testarossa of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. I’m at my work now, so that’s all for now.

Finally Alter’s Fate Testarossa Burst version makes part of my collection. Close to Nanoha Takamachi, she stands proudly, mighty and solely. Her sad expression tells an unheard, *cough* season 1, story. Behind those powerful blade (Bardiche in Assault Form, Season 2) and blazing speeds is a lonely and wounded girl. Longing to be loved, wished to be seen, frighted for friendship, as she never had.
