Alter Persona 4- Kujikawa Rise Swimsuti Ver. 1/8 PVC figure

This is going to be the easiest intro I ever did for a figure.
Kujikawa Rise comes from the Playstation 2 game “Persona” series “Persona 4″ ( ペルソナ4 ) published by Altus.
Summed up as... bleah, uninteresting, nothing special and plain.
Comes with (~Yawn) 2 accessories, spectacles and a bunch of keys (OH JOY....)
Conclusion. I don't like it and won't waste money on it....

If you like this though, you can get yours here from PlayAsia. They ship internationally.

First Look : Bandai SDX Satan Gundam

First seen at Tamashii Nation 2009, this Bandai SDX Satan Gundam isto be released next month (June 09) .Standing at approx 10cm, this mecha looks really good.

When i first saw graphic drawings of this, I was not impressed. However as magazine scans and more pics surfaced I was old on the figure. Now seeing actual pics of the finished product, iam glad i went to my usual trusty source and secured a piece of this.At a retail price of 4700Yen(~SGD$72), I think its well worth it given the accessories and gimmicks of the mecha.

SDX Satan gundam doesn't look too impressive all covered up (looks like a wizard/sorcerer), but when the cloack opens up to form the wings.. Whew!! it looks good

You can get your hands on a SDX Gundam from HobbySearch HERE

Here are some pics to wet your appetite till you get your grubby hands on one :)

Quote from GSC"
In order to increase the enjoyment of the figma action figure series, this new generation display unit known as the 'di:stage' has been created. It will soon expand into a series with nearly infinite possibilities, but this is the basic foundation set.
* The base unit is a 10cm square, and the perfect way to display two figmas together.
* Multiple base units can be connected horizontally via flat joints, or vertically via wall joints, allowing the stage to expand however you want it to.
* A grappling unit that can be used to hold virtually any action figure is included.
* Speech bubbles that can be used to show the emotions of the characters are included.
* Using the 'binders' that can be attached to all sides of the base, you can create a background using paper vignettes, or cover the base with a cover skin. This allows you to recreate various situations to enjoy. Paper vignettes and cover skins will be available for download online, and are planned to be available in magazines.
* You can combine this with future extention sets to create your very own scenarios.
