On the stage tonight we have two idols from the 765 Production Studio! 

I’ve been preparing these photos and holding on to them for far too long now. It’s not as a daunting live stage scene as I did with my brother back in the summer of 2013 but I did go to the lengths of buying and crafting props for these two new Idolm@ster figma, Hibiki and Chihaya.View post »

I still have a few unboxed figures (and they keep piling up). So when I see an opportunity in the weather to make an interesting photoshoot I quickly scramble my camera and a new figure. The Mental Model Takao figure arrived recently and I figured the cloudy sky and windy ocean would make a fitting blue backdrop for her. So I took the car (first time for a figure photoshoot) and drove to the nearest beach.

It may not look like it, but it was just as windy as her hair is swaying. I had to hold her a few times to not fall over from the gusts.

Waking up this morning and noticing the first snow this winter outside I knew I had to break out my unopened Snow Miku figma and do a photoshoot. Sadly, it was more ice than actual snow but I still managed to get some snowy looking shots.

Time again for some older photos, these ones taken in the summer of 2013.

I’d like to say that one of the best types of pictures are those with some sort of conflict within the frame. So naturally Kirino Kousaka and Ruri Gokou from Oreimo (My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute) suited well for an idea of a Weiβ Schwarz game picture. Since my Kirino figma, with her short temper, also has a shouting face she was pretty much a natural choice anyway.

I’ve redone the processing on these since I wasn’t all that happy with them from the first time released.

Hope you people had a great Halloween! I can’t say I think Mikuru did though. She’s so easily scared, though I admit hopping and grinning skulls can be a bit terrifying. Others, like Homura and Asuna, knows how to deal with them. We also get to see Shinobu in her right environment (still eating sweets), being a vampire and all, I suppose?
