Moments of Bliss #01

My Bonsai Tree, he's only 5 years old so it's fairly young, but I need to repot him in a bigger pot.

My dog, Maddie... she's such a lazy dog! But look at her jowls.... she's so cute!

New Stuff + Gundam Updates!!!

Hey everybody, I haven't been doing my blogspot for awhile now because I keep thinking people don't want to read or look at the stuff I'm posting, but then I realized one of the reasons I do this is for myself. So I have a little update for you guys!

I've been going to my local Game-X-Change and buying a bunch of their novelty stock because all of it is half-off and the once expensive merchandise is now cheap! So I've been going there a lot and buying their stock instead of buying more Gundam kits.

Three of the items here are from Game-X-Change, and the other is from BigBadToyStore.com, a great website and highly recommend it. The item of BBTS.com is the Motion Revive Series figures, which I got the last three they had.

These are the three figures I got; Momotaros Imagin, Kamen Rider Den-O Wing Form, and Kamen Rider 'I-have-no-clue-but-has-a-cape'. The reason I bought these three MRS figs is because I wanted Kamen Rider TheBee and Gatack (I started watching Kamen Rider Kabuto last week and already on episode 20!), but unfortunately, I got neither. Momotaros was the secret figure, so I thought that was pretty cool, and Den-O Wing Form is pretty sweet lookin' too!

But back to the Game-X-Change Merch, I got four of these Mario figures; three for me and one for my girlfriend. I bought one for my girlfriend and when I opened it I liked the little suckers, so the next day I went back and just bought the last three. The figures themselves are made of a soft plastic and the blocks they stand on are hard plastic that hold sound boxes inside. They also come with 3 stickers to put on three sides of the blocks to make them look as they do in the above picture.

On the bottom of each of the blocks is a little button that you press and it makes a randomized sound effect from the game, pretty corny but fun nonetheless! XD

Another thing I bought A LOT of were the Capcom Fighting Jam figures. I bought not one, not two, not even five, but all NINE of them! And guess what else, not one double! Some of the figures require minor assembly and have limited articulation to pull off their more well-known poses.

The full sets I have -- Player 1 and Player 2 colors -- are Ryu, my favorite Capcom figure from Street Fighter, Demitri; a kick-a** vampire from Darkstalkers, and Pyron; the ultimate evil from Darkstalkers. I was really shocked because the first four I got were the P1 and P2 colors of both Pyron and Demitri, and the very LAST two I got were both Ryu figures.

The other three are Alex, a character from Street Fighter III; Leo, a freakin' awesome character from Red Earth; and Ingrid, an original character from Capcom Fighting Jam, or the US release, Capcom Fighting Evolution. All three of them are in P2 colors and my favorite of these three is Leo, he's awesome!

I also got this; Final Fantasy Creatures Fan Book Vol. 2! This comes with a little book with color pages of all Final Fantasy Creatures releases, and has previews of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and of Final Fantasy Master Creatures -- the preview should tell you how old this is!

This is a close-up of the figure included, Floral Fallal Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2. This is her ultimate dressphere and a pretty good one too! It's my favorite over all three characters' final dresspheres.

Something I got for free because I bought so much of the stuff they don't want -- they need that stuff gone to restock new stuff, I was helping -- was this; Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Playstation 2 controller. I know it seems kind of dumb, but 1 it was free, and 2 it's freakin' Ryu!

The box itself is so freakin' awesome!

This is a Street Fighter SOTA figure that was released in 2005. This was one of the only original characters they had, and the other two were Adon and Gen. I may pick up Adon but I know definately I won't pick up Gen, I didn't like him at all.

I know, some people may want a Gundam update, so here it is...

I'm currently in the stages of painting my SD Songokuden Ryuubi Gundam and So far it's turning out good. (sorry that the picture is so blury, but you get the idea, right?)

If you keep reading, you'll see my next Gundam review... SD Strike Noir!!!!
