Photoshoot – Tenshi by Good Smile Company

Picked up a beautiful Angel a good time ago, sadly, not for me, but as a birthday present for my good friend Bevan, who also allowed me to do a small photoshoot too. And so, some of the photos and my thoughts about one of Good Smile Company’s latest figures.

Photoshoot – Fate Testarossa -PHANTOM MINDS- by ALTER

Fate Testarossa… I like her name… Something about it has a nice kind of tone to it…

My first PVC figurine by ALTER. My friend Bevan already has two, and so I’m very much aware of ALTER’s amazing quality and designs. So, being one of my most loved characters, this “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha’s” “Fate Testarossa” was definitely on my “to order” list and after being delayed several times, she finally arrived in early February.

I did an initial Photoshoot a few days after arriving at Leon’s place, but wasn’t too happy with my results. So these are photos from a second photoshoot using a makeshift lightbox and some are open air with lights.

Photoshoot – Noumi Kudryavka by ALTER

My good friend Bevan recently purchased himself his second ALTER figurine, this time, of “Little Busters”‘s “Noumi Kudryavka”, or “Kud” for short.

I was incredibly tired that day after fishing the day before, getting little sleep, having to put up with that Haruhi-kid’s voice, and playing some serious poker before attempting to do a photoshoot.

DROID

Or… “Milestone”… Outside of the US…

But “DROID” is so much cooler…

Photoshoot (Lightbox) – Furude Rika and Hanyuu by Wave

It’s been 6 months since I got these two figurines, and I never got round to doing a full photoshoot with them… I have used them for experimenting in my dodgy made lightbox, and the results haven’t been as great as I have been expecting. Even now, I’m finding that doing a good, plain photoshoot still hasn’t produced the kind of quality I’ve been looking for, but nevertheless, after taking hundreds of shots, here are some of the results.

I do hope to do an outdoors photoshoot and get better results sometime in the future… But time is hard to find these days.

Rika-chama~! ^.^

Nanoha and Fate Figma Mini-Photoshoot

So, after finally opening my Fate figma about a week ago, I’ve finally gotten around to doing a photoshoot for both my Fate and Nanoha figma’s by MAX Factory. I can’t say the results for this photoshoot were as awesome as the photos I had for Bevan’s ALTER Nanoha near a month ago. Some of the images, as you will see, are rather noisy, and for some reason, my three lamps didn’t want to play very nice with lighting all the time…

All these shots are indoor, and with my makeshift “lightbox”. I’d like to see if I can get them outside sometime in the future, and see if I can get any “epic” shots of the two.

Photoshoot – Takamachi Nanoha -stand by ready- by ALTER

So, about a week ago, I went to my good friend Bevan’s house specifically to see his just arrived Nanoha Takamachi figurine by Alter. (Cos he won this time… =P) And so, came a dedicated 1.5 hour photoshoot, and here are a select two dozen or so photos. Click on the images to view in a higher resolution (a.k.a. Even more awesome of Nanoha)
