Figma 381 Lancer Scathach

  Considering Shishou is one of the most popular servant in FGO, she is bound to get a Figma eventually along with Cu. The figma will be released this august for around 7800 Yen price tag. I would say for three different expressions and two Gae Bolgs as accessories, it is rather overpriced but nothing new for Figma. Since i am getting Cu's Figma, i might as well get Scathach as well since they work perfectly as a set. For her Price Tag, it would have been better that Max Factory included her mask and veil from her first and third form but it is just that Max Factory are being cheapskate. Scathach is my first SSR servant from my early rolls, so Shishou is quite a special character for me in the series. I had her PVC figure as well but thats a story for another day.

Solatorobo 2nd Run

 Four years gives a good breather for me to do another run for Solatorobo and it is still a very good game and probably one of the best in DS. The game is still repetitive but had very good atmostphere and worldbuilding. Come to think of it the reason why Solatorobo gave me great nostalgic vibe is that settings-wise it shares alot in common with Megaman Legends series and can be considered as its spiritual successor to an extent. The game is still quite easy tho the Boss Rush can be a little bit challenging if i go reckless. By now i am on the early third Playthrough to get Dahak Omega but i will stop at this point until i get nostalgic with the series again. Seriously Cyberconnect can make Ver 1.5 and i will still buy it as long as they make the game have more Open World elements on it. Looking forward someday that i got an opportunity to play the game for third time using Dahak Omega.

Diaclone DA-14 Big Powered GV

 Diaclone series has escaped my Radar since it bears close resemblance with with Transformers which i stayed away from. But this toy lineup catches my attention as my company got this product arrived which i took a glimpse on it. From what i comprehend Diaclone is transformable Robot Toys with strong emphasis in playability which means it has tons of gimmicks! Takara Tomy apparently have toys in this lineup in 80s but they just did the Reboot move last year. When i was a kid, i was a big sucker for Robot Toys that you can put miniature pilot in it and Diaclone just fulfill my bill for the gimmick. One of the Diaclone toy that catch my attention is the DA-14 Big Powered GV which are Gigantic Robot combined from 5 Different vehicles which has its own transformation again and DA-14 happen to have the full package i am looking for. For now i will just wait for Takara Tomy to do a rerun so i can get this toy with Preorder Price. While Big Powered GV cost above 25000 Yen, with the quality which Rivals Bandai's Soul of Chogokin with the immense amount of Gimmicks, it is really worth it. I think what Takara Tomy needs to popularize this toy lineup is to oursource some Gaming Dev Company to make a decent Video Game out of this series to hype up the interest for the lineup and i will be keeping a close up on it too. Here is CM for the Toy by Takara which looks really awesome indeed!

Total War: Three Kingdoms

 Ever since i followed Total War Series through Shogun 2, i always wished for a Total War with a Chinese setting. Up until now Creative Assembly shied away from the Chinese History settings but they just recently announce one with Three Kingdom Settings. So far there are not much information about this title but i suppose CA decided Three Kingdoms as the settings as it is the most familiar one to western audience. I wonder if CA do enough for enough homework with Three Kingdoms period to create the proper game. But I still hope for a Warring States Period Total War which CA would likely make if the Three Kingdom version do well.

Pokemon Ranger Shadow of Almia

 From the beginning of this blog, i tried to steer away from Pokemon  because i had rather complicated relationship with the series. It was a love-hate with this one as i grew up playing Pokemon but got disillusioned how the series decline on 3DS partly on alienating the older fanbase. NDS probably is the best time that the Pokemon series had as it spawned plenty of decent quality Spin-offs. One of them is Pokemon Ranger Series and i happened to finish one of its installment called Shadow of Almia. I have played the first Pokemon Ranger ages ago and Almia is the second of the installment which happened to be in my backlog.

 Pokemon Ranger series is notable for showing pokemon natural behavior other than as fighting tool for Trainers. Shadow of Almia compared to its predecessor had several improvements notably with wide selection of Pokemon companion and somewhat okay storyline if inconsistent. Though i still prefer the first game when it comes to the selection of Pokemon as Sinnoh Pokemon's are just lacking compared to Hoenn. One of my least favorite thing about this game is the annoying amount of backtracking that this game has which i don't think the first game was as bad as Almia. In any case probably have more Pokemon content in the future including Review materials as well.
