Polyvinyl Crush

I usually try to avoid making declarative statements in my reviews because such statements usually come back to haunt I usually learn a couple things reading the comments that follow and other people’s reviews.  Today though I can’t help myself.  Max Factory’s 1/8th scale VN02 Miku Hatsune PVC from the Vocaloid franchise is simply one of the best, if not the best, figure of 2010.

My first review on the new machine!  Even though I remembered to save all the files from the old system I forgot to save the program files so I was busy digging out all sorts of disks.  Then when I found and reinstalled Photoshop I remembered that I had further forgotten so save any of the Adobe logs, so all my actions and settings were gone.  It was easy enough to remake that though: back before I discovered the Actions feature in Photoshop I shopped each picture manually.  Now that process is like forever etched into my memory.  Today we’re talking a loot at Orchid Seed’s 1/7th scale Elf PVC figure from Lineage II.

Taking a break from the recent releases with today’s post and bring you all a figure from the good old days of 2006.  Yes, that means this figure is four years old.  I wish I aged this well.  Today we’re talking a look at Max Factory’s 1/6th scale Mai Tokiha from My-HiME.

It was definitely one of those do-nothing weekends for me.  The type of weekend where you just feel like dorking all around the place without accomplishing much.  Still, I wanted to get some kind of review done so I opted for one that was charming and all around a good figure instead of one which redefines how figures should be made.  So today we’re talking a look at Kotobukiya’s 1/7th scale ‘Swimsuit Ver.’ Kagura from Azumanga Daioh.  Ah!
