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.

Fate Testarossa united with my collection

Reinforce Zwei

My second shoot, following both tutorials of HappySoda (light and blocking light) and followed up the tips from Shino, who I think is from the lololol blog, I shot better pictures than last time. We’ll start with a little side-story about Reinforce Une.

Reinforce is a device from the tome of the night sky. Yagami Hayate, the mistress obtained her in season 2. However due certain events Reinforce Zwei (Deutsch for two) is now the new tome device.

Reinforce Zwei, does look like a chibi version of the earlier Reinforce. She made an appearance in the later season 3 (StrikerS) and we finally we see her into action as she takes on the full drive. Later on you get to know Reinforce is an unison device. Ok, I won’t spoil it, so I better stop informing about the series. At any case a screenshot of Reinforce Zwei, from StrikerS is below so we are able to compare it with the pvc version of Alter.

Fate Testarossa starts as a formidable opponent of Nanoha Takamachi in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. In the third series she’s adopted and changes the name to Fate Testarossa Harlaown. I preferred the burst version, see happy soda’s site which also made a review. However I could not get it, all sold out :(. So, in meanwhile I bought this one and I hope the burst version becomes again available in the future.

So, let’s start my very first figure review. Yes, this my first. Be nice, but criticism is a must!

While I’m just posting the next day purchase, I can’t suppress myself to shout aloud. “GTA IV is being released today! Hurray!”. You know, there is an undeniable fact you know or heard about GTA IV. So I can scream knowing you would understand me. As a real fan, have bought GTA, GTA London, GTA 2, GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas (no liberty city though), now I await my reservation. Hopeful I get it this very day! People without reservation … it’s getting excited isn’t it. Would there be any left overs?

Urm, ok let’s get over to the purchase … So, I’m buying … again uh? - You would ask…
Yes well, I didn’t intend to but in this early morning got a mail. It announced me their stock for “Shakugan no Shana figure ” (the figure on the right) were running low! So I quickly added the figure to my cart, grabbed the last 3 death note volumes along (as I promised you yesterday). Just when I ordered it I returned to the product details page to grab this picture. Here I found this figure out of stock. So I got the last! Lucky me. Aww, returning to the series page … They added more Shana figures, *slimes*!

The three death notes are here, voulume 11, 12 and 13*.

At last some news about the Tweeny Witches, also familiar as Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu.

Okay to get the updates well risen on the blog I spam some development of my life. At first, I tell you about the new forums of Hirvine.com, since I did them myself. Then I start talking about my purchases I did last week. These purchases still needs shipping but, well, I have the pictures of the stores for now.

Forum

The forum, I’ve tried to use a few forum software out there, but at the end I made myself a forum. Why? I think I was bored. So a number of cool functions you expect from a regular forum, might not be listed over here. Still you can expect the BBCode, edit your own post if less in X hours, edit reason, report, moderators, administrators, member groups and special forums for X groups.

I have also considered a upload function for in the form.
Work is currently in progress, you can expect the first beta in the next month. Don’t ask me whether it’s the start or the end in that month :P.
