1/7 Yoko Ritona PVC

So finally here she is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’s Yoko Ritona by EnterBrain.  First off, I’m no professional behind the camera but I have fun with what I do.  I hope you can find something of use with the pics, whether it be creating wallpaper, or influencing your decision on buying or not buying a figure.

I had a hell of a time getting the rifle into her hands.  I really didn’t expect her to have Kung Fu grip so I had trouble getting the gun in while trying not to damage the figure.  Some of the fingers actually seemed to be stuck together.  you can pretty much come up with your own opinion on paint job, color, etc. but I feel she is a very solid figure.  A great job by Enterbrain

Enough talk, pics!

First off, the Rifle, an incredible 10.5 inches. Nice, but it could’ve only been better if the stand actually worked.

For those who like feet, the boots.

A close up on Yamako Sensei, lol.

Yoko…bringing sexy back.

I love the realism of the thighs, thick where she needs to be thick.

Full Figure View

This is an awesome figure from an awesome anime. For those who haven’t seen it, if you are into dubbed anime, check it out on the Sci-Fi network, Mondays @ 11pm EST.

This is in fact my second Yoko figure, and probably will not be my last. The Space Suit version is schedule to be out soon (check with your local figure retailer) but I’ve yet to preorder since it did not wow me at first sight. Yoko also had another form in the anime (check above for a hint), so I am to assume that the onslaught of Gurren Lagann products will not be coming to an end any time soon.

The full set of pictures can be found here.

For more information on Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, you can head over to Anime News Network.

That’s all for now. Will post another set soon.

Thanks for viewing, and please let me know what you think.

GRRR

What is it with me and the ‘interweb’?  I mean really, I’m no noob.  While attempting to upload the new Yoko Pics, I was asked by Flickr to enter a web address.  They say it can’t be changed and they stressed this point like 2 or 3 times, but since I was in the process of uploading the Yoko Pics, I’m figure that it’s the web address for the Yoko Set of Pics.  No. Not at all.  It’s for my entire account.   And since I don’t need everything I post on flickr to mention Yoko in the web address, I decide to delete the account and start over from scratch since there weren’t tooo many pics to begin with.  Well little did I know this would be such a complicaed process.

Instead of you drooling over pictures of Yoko, I’m updating you with info that I can’t update you with the pics until Flickr gets back to me about updating my new account.

…I tried.

Just Great….

So I am new to this whole WordPress thingy and here I am trying to delete a comment I posted to a posting and without realizing it, I delete the whole post. Great.  It was basically about the Dark Knight and how Heath Ledger did an awesome job but the rest of the movie was just ok.  Dammit, and that posting had my first comment ever on it too.  I’m a bit mad right now but I know there will be more posters in the future right?  You’ll post something one day and let me know that you’re out there….right?

Lack of Updates

I’m Sorry.  To you who may be reading this I am sorry.  This is just a quick update to show that I have not forgotten about the blog, it’s still a baby but currently, my lack of time to myself has made me prioritize and the blog has suffered.  Despite the influx of figures toys and games still coming, taking pictures, uploading and trying to figure this stuff out ain’t easy but I will get around to it.

and a Big Thank You to myfirst commenter on “The Dark Knight“

See You Soon…I promise.

More Games and More Figures

So as of June 12th, 2008, I became the proud owner of a brand new, un-bounced, Playstation 3.  As the proud owner of a 360 Elite and being a self proclaimed “gamer”, I decided that June12th was the right day to get my PS3 since I purchased the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle and got a free $100 Walmart gift card.  Woo Hoo!!!

So here I am with MGS4 and no true desire to play it.  I never played any other MGS’s for more than 20 minutes.  Luckily I had pre-purchased Heavenly Sword awaiting the glorious day I got my PS3, the artwork for Heavenly Sword is just so beautiful I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed.  But Once I’m done with those two games what is this system good for?  What am I going to do with it, Watch Blu Ray Movies all day and night?! Ummm,  no thanks.  I for one wanted HD-DVD to win but that another story.

Today I became the owner of three Playstation 3 exclusives.  Warhawk, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.  My plan is to only but PS3 exclusive games for my PS3 while games released for both system’s would be purchased on 360.  It may seem a bit stupid but most of my friends have 360’s and if I’m playing online it’s usually on my 360.  Plus I like my achievements and while PS3 will get “Trophies”, I’m not to psyched since its obviously and achievement knock-off.

3 for PS3

Today’s news games get add to an already long list of unplayed games (was about 10 and now it’s 13) that’s not even including a couple of PS2 games.  It’s crazy but it’s satisfying to know that when I want to play the games, they are there waiting for me and I won’t have to hunt down a used & Abused copy on eBay or somewhere else.

Am I the only one who does this?  Sure, back in the day when we were young and got a game, we’d run home and tear into it but now I’m a bit more reserved now and have more things to do.  I guess if it were a  new electronic gadget, it’d be a different story but I know the game is mine and not going anywhere.  Another huge problem is the extremely fun replay ability of Halo 3 with friends.  Seems like every other night if not every night, I’m either getting a call or making a call to play Halo 3.  Probably be playing soon, once I’ve taken care of some tasks.  Thanks Microsoft for keeping me from all of my many other games and for supporting Halo

When it comes down to it, it’s all just fun and games anyway.  Right?

DOAX2 Tina by Kotobukiya

In All of the excitement about getting my games, I almost forgot about the largest of today’s packages. My 1/6 Tina from Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, I’ve gotten all of them beginning with Kasumi and will say that the prices have gotten increasingly higher and higher *sigh*.  The new Kokoro is reaching upwards of $90 on some sites, almost 3 times the original price of Kasumi.  These are indeed hard times to be collecting figures but I pray it will get better one day.

1/7 Enterbrain Yoko and an Apple

Got home from work today to be greeted by Two boxes.  One containing my new 1/7 Yoko and the other containing my Korean Compilation trade paper back/comic book Apply from Udon.  Udon has also brought us the Robot Series which is a Japanese Compilation trade paper back/comic book.

New Additions

Have yet to open anything for pictures so please stay tuned.  From what I can see through the window box, Yoko is a beauty.  I hope Apple is a good read and interesting enough to obtain further volumes.

Gonna finish eating and watchin X-Play, will update later.

Inventory

Hello and Welcome to my blog,

If you’ve seen the name NegativeZero on some figure forum or blog, it was probably me, unless it’s someone posing as me.  I am still active in the figure community (not a big shot or anything but I know my way around) with no signs of retiring any time soon.

Ahhhhhh, What better day to start a blog than the present day.  Its’s the first of 3 weekends in which I will be staying indoors and keeping cool.  This isn’t a regular thing when my girlfriend is around, but she’s away on vacation traveling the world.

I get to stay home and save some money (which will likely be spent on figures so can we really call it saving).  But I digress.  While home on the first of 3 weekends I decided to do a figure inventory.  This included me disassembling my tower or boxes (filled with figures) and going through each one and making a list of the Character, Series and Company which issued the figure.  I began this feat yesterday and completed it today.  Took a couple of hours but it was well worth it since there were some figure which I thought I had purchased but hadn’t seen in some time so I wasn’t sure if actually lusting after the figure, I actually obtained it.

My list now let’s me know what lurks in those boxes that take up nearly 20% of my room; A little over 200 PVC figures (not including gashapon and two (yes two) >_< fake Kasumis.  Those were purchased before I knew any better but I now know to buy from trusted retailers only.

I am not just a figure collector, I a big gamer as well.  So I decided to take a video game inventory as well.  This is more difficult since I know some games are well tucked away and can’t be added to the list this weekend.  May be next weekend.

As Far As The Eyes Can See

As My first posting, I welcome you and thank you for stopping by.  Pictures, News and reviews will be added once I learn the full workings of blogging.

See you soon!
