Rerelease: Phat Company 1/8 Yakumo Yukari
Those who missed out on her from before, now's your chance to get one again!
Once again the youkai of boundaries is getting another round of release!
Not much to say but this one's really good, I have one and have indeed already reviewed her just click on the image below to go to the review :D
Scheduled for a bloody November release, she's still priced at 7,800 yen. But as all touhou stuff are, she's only order-able in certain shops and one of them happens to be Amiami :D

Phat Company's 1/8 Caster -Fate/Extra- reissue
I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be delighted~
So if you've missed the chance...
Phat's giving you one more chance to get this cute and lovely Caster from the PSP Game Fate/Extra. I've seen this figure upclose and I must say I like it though not to the point that I would want to own one since I love the Fate/Stay Night Caster XD But anyway, if you've been wanting this figure, then here's your chance~
Caster Extra is scheduled for an August resale and still priced at 7,800 yen. Image and info from GSC's product page.

Recent Hauls: Magical Characters, Warriors and a Scientist
It's a pretty big mass of unblogged stuff...
But the lower picture was just obtained 3 days ago XD
Okay, so, having been busy going out and playing sometimes annoying Dragon Nest. I wasn't able to blog that much and thus, missing my ability to actually phost the last wave of April hauls on April itself. loooool. But Anyway, April hauls consists of articulateds and a certain nerdy yet wonderful scientist named Makise Kurisu in her scaled figure form by Good Smile Company. Anyway, figmas consists of Mami and Kenshin, Mami was a no brainer since she is my 2nd favorite in the series while Kenshin, well, she looked awesome even if I am not familiar with the eroge itself XD And last but not least, completing my Max Heart cast is SHF Shiny LoliLuminous, who also happens to be in my top list from my favorites in the cureverse. XD
Moving on to the main month hauls, this is probably going to be my grandest haulage of the month, notable for finally completing my Madoka Mahou Shoujo figmas with the yuri buddies, Sayaka and Kyoko arriving at the same time. XD Adding up to my Sayaka fangasms would be her nendo who also happens to have been released last month. XD
Now Wheeljack and Kurisu are actually hauls from the first day of the month after the pigfest we did at PapaJohn's unlimited Pizza promo. While the TF Prime RID line was just released late month there are quite notorious pieces who bites the dust quickly namely Soundwave, Vehicon and Wheeljack for being the top 3 hardest to find pieces after the release. Luckily, I informed my friend about it and he volunteered to get me a Wheeljack and so I finally got him! Also from the same friend, I also got figma Kurisu for a friendly price despite how much she's picking up these days...
And last but not least would be my 2 scaled figure hauls, while I've been into articulates since some time last year, I still can't pass up some scaled figures and in this case, Alter's Luke and Phat's Ran. While Luke is a must have since I am a Tales series fan, the figure itself is good and I can't wait to have the time to shoot him and put up a review. Ran, on the other hand, while looking pretty cute thanks to my favorite sculptor, YOSHI, is pretty much worth every penny; would you believe that Ran actually weighs 1kg? Phat did an amazing job by making his fox tail totally solid plastic, you really can feel the weight if you hold the box in person. XD
But anyway, that's it for now, bandai news will follow after a certain late bandai product news, looool.

December Hauls: Christmas Finale
And finally before the Xmas strikes in a few days...
Another wave of haulage 8D
I actually got these 5 last Saturday which was also Team Onii-chan's Xmas party, while I've paid for RQ and the pixtones long ago, it was only last Sat that I get to meetup with my friend who got it for me so, yeahhh, late haulage is a more appropriate term for it, lol.
As for Fei Yen, you'd probably know why I even got it in the first place, if you don't... clue: Miku?
Hahahaha, so, yeah, I finally got it from one of my suppliers and it's actually another first impression from another line.
Lastly, the Baka To Test box from Chara Ani contains Himeji XD I got from fellow collector, Mochaholic, from the xmas party's exchange gift. Thanks Mochaholic! :3
Anyway, that's it for now, hopefully there's still one more haulage left for the month XD ahaha

Review: [Phat Company] Yakumo Yukari
| Figure Information | |
| Manufacturer: | Phat! Company |
| Origin Series: | Touhou Project |
| Scale: | 1/8 |
| Height: | Approximately 20cm tall |
| Original Price: | 7,800 Yen |
| Figure Box: |
Yukari's box is designed in a very plain manner but still ain't plain enough to be considered boring. I'm actually delighted that the box itself is very thrifty in space as it's just right for Yukari's mass; the box itself is white covered in purplish hues along with Yukari's name in the bottom right of the front window. To give a rough estimation of the size of this wide figure's box, here's a shot with figma Reimu right beside it. ^^
And as a really good way of giving accuracy of sorts, the back of the box contains the actual art where the figure was based on and without further delay, here it is~
| Figure Details: |
Yukari, as my very first scaled Touhou figure, managed to give me a heavy and positive impression as her details are definitely solid.
I loved the choices of paint for her especially her violet dress which in real life gives off such a magnificent color, it feels too real and actually gives that realistic feel thanks to how hard YOSHI sculpted the details on her overall dress; the inner details of her skirt proves a much more praise worthy amounts of detail as the shades definitely gives that cloth feel.
Yukari is, of course, not without flaw BUT it's a minor nitpick on my part actually, since I seriously think her hair could've used much more detail like making some strands thinner rather than a mass bulk of plastic but hey, she doesn't look bad at all, just really nitpicking at from me. XD

Her base, as a literal base is plain and boring IMO since it's just round and clear purple BUT the base is more of just a place holder as what I actually consider the "base" would be the gap she's sitting on. And to make it look more like she's really sitting on a floating gap, they actually used a clear stand arm to hold it and it actually looks really sturdy (but who knows over time what will happen XD)
While creative the base might be, Yukari's main flaw overall actually lies in here, as the eyes on the gap somewhat degraded in quality from how they were back in the prototype shots, the eyes right now look like some mild red paint were randomly spilled over it as opposed to the previous' nerve-filled eye.

| Appeal: |
Now, appeal is one of Yukari's good points, I seriously think YOSHI did a pretty good job on translating Yukari's face from the art to the now 3-Dimensional figure as the face looks more mature and more fitting for someone such as Yukari.
While her best angle obviously lies on where she's looking at, she actually looks good in a number of different angles; definitely a figure which I enjoyed shooting and one that I can consider as a very photogenic figure. :D
Additionally, Phat! gave us an option of removing her hat, which doesn't make much difference but still is a very welcomed addition and hatless she might be, she still looks gorgeous and I can pledge on that!
| Final Thoughts: |
My first Touhou scaled, definitely a worthy and satisfying one. And for someone who's not really a big name in the figure market, Phat! definitely was impressive here and I sure can't wait when Ran and Chen arrives here. I highly recommend getting this for Touhou fans and for me, she's the best Yukari scaled figure out there to date, so she's definitely worth the money! For local readers who want to actually take a glimpse of this gorgeous figure, I'll be displaying her for Team Onii-chan's biggest and final display event of the year, so do drop by! :D
| Rating (Out of 10) | |

November Hauls: Of Boundaries, Swords and Stardust
First wave of last half hauls
Got them earlier too XD (Starscream not included of course loool)
So after a looooong while, I finally got another Scaled figure, and it's not just any scaled figure, it's also my very first Touhou Project scaled figure. :3 And it's none other than Phat's Yukari! Upon feasting my eyes on her the moment her orders went up, I really loved the figure and the final certainly does not fail to meet expectations, I'll be posting the review very soon (Hopefully within the week ^^)
As for the other, my once disliked now turned into the very favorite character from Madoka, Sayaka finally arrived in the form of a kyun-chara from the 1st ichibankuji release of banpresto for the series, really happy to get it XD She's cute hahahaha XD
Lastly, my friend opened up a group buy from chara-ani's trading figs for ore imo and since I like Meruru and he was only after Kirino, I opted to get Meruru immediately and here she is now and I've been singing Meteor Impact since earlier this week looooooool. Anyway, that's all for today's hauls XD
