The beautiful Valkyries descend from the skies supervising the fairies of the forest they dive into the battle. The Valkyries are at the winning hand and among the female warriors an huge dark shadow appears. The demon lord Odin swings his huge Psypher into the air, slamming the queen of the fairies to the ground. But as one victory is made another is lost and Gwendolyn loses her precious “sister” Griselda. Sister, as all Valkyries are one of each other her heart cries out of hatred toward the huge demonic cauldron they fight for. Still whatever the great lord orders, the Valkyries will obey his command, however when Gwendolyn finds out a traitor she has to disobey her father. She wishes to safe her father even if it will strip her of her pride and honor.

Thus the lovely princess Gwendolyn is expelled from her world. Strip of pride an honor she is cast a spell called “Love”. She now must grow old to be a mother and love the man she fought to.  Oswald the Shadow knight bearing the cursed sword and slain the great wise dragon Belial who have chosen to live with the humans. While Gwendolyn drags herself from her bed she still praises her father and never doubts her decision. Cursed with her faith she’s eager to obey the laws of her father. Night after night the shadow knight returns of battle but when he suddenly remains absent, Gwendolyn starts to worry. In disgusts of her thoughts of the curse she has, she goes and find her husband. Soon she will discover a bigger plot.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
