Here's the two together, not the best crop but oh well. They're both 1/7 which is pretty big. Zuihou is by Phat company who have been pretty good for me. Asuka is by Alter who are basically the best manufacturers in the business, and I definitely agree. Their work on the Love Live girls in particular are great. With Zuihou's bow accessory, she's the tallest of all my figures simply due to how tall it is despite her being in a leaning action pose.
Here's all my scaled figures together in one spot. One is missing, which is Cordelia, which I left at home due to her gigantic box taking up too much space. Zuihou and Shiro are by Phat and the Love Live girls + Asuka are by Alter, although Halloween Eli is a collab between Alter and another company. Overall, they all have a ton of detail and they're great to look at in person, something pictures can't really show.
This is what the Cordelia looks like, I took the picture months ago, but she's boxed up right now.
To those asking why?
Why not, they're nice and I like them. Simple as that.
Here's Zuihou out of its box and assembled. I was very pleased with how this came out, especially since it was at a 45% discount. Apparently not many people have bought it, likely due to the retail price being ridiculously high for what it is. I really love the base and how dynamic it is, as well as her pose being an in action one without being too odd. The plane accessories are a nice extra addition. The bow is very tall and the arrows are actually planes! The quiver as well is a boat which is a very nice little addition. She's in a traditional Japanese wear, as one can tell by her name Zuihou, she's inspired off of a Japanese warship. I'm hoping in the future to get an American one, maybe Iowa.
Here's Asuka. While I was looking for her for a while, I think I was slightly disappointed, likely because of how impressed I was with Zuihou. I love her pose with the hand on the cap, but as its used, some of the dust was noticeable in the picture, oops. She came with some extra head and arm accessories, but those aren't things I particularly cared about. As for the base, it's very simple with an Evangelion logo, but the base is so glossy that you can see your own reflection, which was pretty nice. Overall, very nice figure that I'm glad that I was able to find, cause it is not an easy figure to find at a cheap price these days obviously due to the fact that it looks good, it's by a good manufacturer, and Evangelion is very popular.
It was a rather large box, which meant that the shipping wasn't cheap at all. No SAL shipping (cheapest international) so the price differences between all of them weren't that much so I just went with the fastest option.of EMS
The two figures here. The one on the left is a boatgirl called Zuihou. She's from Kantai Collection, a mobile game that I haven't played, but one that i'm well aware of. She was very nicely discounted on amiami, so I couldn't resist.
The Asuka is a very popular figure that's very hard to find. The one I found was on the preowned section and I bought it a few minutes after it just showed up. B/B rank for slightly over its retail price, which was actually surprisingly reasonable. When the boxes arrived, Asuka of Evangelion fame's box was dusty, but not a big deal. The box itself is very small thank goodness.
You're some random person who showed up one day and expected everyone to know you. I don't know you that well truthfully, all I know is that you have the same name as Petricigy, which is not good.
The headphone cups are slightly small, but nothing too annoying. My laptop gets really loud, so I have to keep the master volume ~3% which is annoying because the previous headphones I had were able to adjust volume. The chord is nice and not annoying thankfully, definitely the best part.
I've been using for the last 2.5 years, still work even if the padding is almost non-existent from use. Out lasted most turtle beaches or other sets I've had. A lot of Turtle beaches i have usually die because wiring so I feel like they're designed to give out after some time...
It's about shogi which is basically Japanese chess, but it's very well made. The author made Honey and Clover which is also very well received.
The OPs will give you an insight to the sort of visual style done by studio Shaft. The MC is a shogi genius, but he's not invincible and has his loses as well.
First route is the fate route and it's the worst of the three. It has good world building, but Shirou as a protagonist is annoying and not relatable at all.
That said, even though it's an old VN with 4:3 aspect ratio, it was still the first VN I played to completion, so it isn't bad. I actually did really like Heaven's Feel, which is the last of the three routes.
yeah i know that it's like absurdly long, but i've heard nothing but good things about it and i like Some of the character designs so i'm willing to try and play at least the first route even though saber is ugly
