Polyvinyl Crush

Looking at the calendar I’d say I’m a little late with this concept but I couldn’t find the time this weekend to do a full review so I decided to this instead.  The rules were simple: 1) The figure had to be released in 2009 (so all those GSC and Alter figures that got pushed back didn’t make the cut) and 2) I actually had to own the figure.  Despite those simple rules this ended up being quite the task since so many fantastic figures were released in 2009.  On top of that I decided to be really controversial and rank these 15 beauties.  Why 15?  Because I honestly couldn’t whittle the list down further than that.

Some of the results were surprising even to me~ Read the rest of this entry →

I was pondering which figure to review today as I had quite a few that came in while I was doing my school applications; many of which remain un-opened.  However, I happened to glance at my shelf and soon realized that I had gone months without giving this phenomenal figure a proper review.  A tremendous error on my part to be sure but one that I’m correcting today.  Today we’re taking a look at Alter’s 1/8 scale Narika Shihoudou PVC from Beat Blades Haruka.

I want to try something different for the Friday updates and highlight PVCs that recently get put up for pre-order in Japan.  My hope is to do something like “here’s the figures that I’m excited about and went on pre-order this week”, so this will by no means going to be all encompassing.  Today’s the first time I’m trying it, and since it’s been a relatively light week, I’m going to go backwards and also highlight some that have recently been put up.

I love this hobby! Read the rest of this entry →
