Continuing on with the list of random purchases I make, a kind of special entry - Medicom RAH Black Rock Shooter, purchased during a recent work stint in Winnipeg, MB.
I have zero knowledge of this character, and in general, I know that Medicom 1/6 figures are rather lacklustre in comparison to companies like Hot Toys. But for the price, I figured why the hell not.
Like I always say, the strength of a toy line often isn't the actual product, but the licensing rights behind it. Pretty much if you're looking for an anime 1/6 figure, it's almost guaranteed to be from Medicom. Of course, the scale is used rather loosely because well, I don't think they're actually in scale, but rather, are about a foot tall.
As I mentioned, I know pretty much nothing about the subject. I've seen some cosplay during Anime North, but that seemed short lived as compared to other series... of course that seems to be the trend with most properties at Anime North. So far as I can tell, Black Rock Shooter is a skinny girl from another dimension who has a sword and a really freakin' big gun.
Having hands on experience with Ultra SFIV Chun Li & Cammy, along with Skyward Sword Link, I think it can be pretty much taken as fact that RAH bodies are more lightweight and flimsy as compared to Hot Toys ones. I don't have enough figures to know for sure, but I think there is a greater variety of bodies used for RAH figures as compared to Hot Toys.
Of course, this might be due to the amount of skin most of these Anime girls show.
Black Rock Shooter comes with accessories, of course, including 5 extra hands (7 in total), an extra front hair piece with the blue glowing eye effect, articulated hair on her head, her sword, and her big ass gun.
And stands with clips.. so many stands.
I'm guessing the gun took a lot of money to produce, because normally I'm thinking I'd see two, maybe three expressions as well as other accessories that would be appropriate, like articulated chains or something.
The hair can be fiddled with in order to simulate movement, just like the coat can.
The hands, much like all the other RAH figures I've played with, all have that terrible design that have the connection to the body be this long narrow post connected to the hand itself. Needless to say, I've already broken one and it needs to be replaced.
Furthermore, maybe it's because mine is used, but it seems that the neck joint isn't quite strong enough to fully control the weight of the head plus hair.
Another constant with RAH figures I've played with is that outfits are typically made of less that premium materials. Black Rock Shooter's coat is made of black vinyl, with wires in the tail of the coat to simulate flowing cloth.
The detailing on these Anime figures typically isn't as involved as with figures that come from a motion picture property, with quality of paint apps and decal more being more front and center. From that perspective RAH figures are typically not bad, with clean work coming from the factory.
If you look on the sword, it's basically a shaped piece of plastic with a decent finish on it. Ditto for the gun as well, though I will say the sheer size and weight of the thing is pretty impressive.
The body itself is actually pretty posable, including some hidden ab action. It's hidden as the ab section of the figure is actually concealed by a flexible rubber skin. The coat can come off but if I'm being honest, there isn't really much to take photographs of.
Finally, we arrive at my least favourite part of this set, the gun. Actually getting the figure to hold the figure is one thing, but posing it correctly is another. I had no instructions to go off of, but based on a photo or two that I saw, it seems that the gun is the suspended by the other two flimsy plastic stands the set came with.
And what a royal pain in the ass that was to get it done.
So overall, the figure is alright, but definitely not one I'd EVER consider paying full price for. It certainly stands out on my shelves, though.
Thanks to Jim of Coudal for featuring some of my pictures for the last month! It was a new and strange feeling doing illustrations something very different from my day job. (Inspired by Sally's illustration friday)
India is amongst those countries that have been hit hard by the US subprime meltdown.
It's probably because outsourcing businesses such as data entry services have been one of the key drivers of India's economy in recent times. The outsourcing businesses were the first to feel the heat of the subprime meltdown probably because of the depreciating value of dollar against most of the major world currencies including the Indian Rupee. Dollar depreciation means less pay for the same effort and costs for outsourcing companies and this is exactly how the outsourcing industry has been affected by the subprime meltdown.
Posted this to join Winna in her love for doors. I didn't win anything, and as far as I know, I didn't sell it either, so I have picked out a place in the den where it will hang. I love rust and doors...I intended the picture on the right to be on the left, but since they made the mistake, I just let it go...too much trouble to rework it. I know, cause I used to frame my own!! Now that I look at them individually again, I wish I had framed them separately. I named it Cerrado..Spanish for "locked."
BROTHERHOOD OF JESUS OF LOVE IN HIS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM AND OUR LADY OF PEACE AND HOPE. Procession takes place on Palm Sunday ( Domingo De Ramos ) from Parroquial Santa Catalina through the narrow streets of Conil and returns to the Church. Spectacular pagentry.
Easter Sunday for Christians is the most important of all days, celebrating The Resurrection of Jesus following his crucifixion on the cross on Good Friday . Holy Week is the week before Easter Sunday beginning on Palm Sunday, the celebration of Christ’s triumphant entry to Jerusalem. For all Christians Holy Week is special but especially in Spain where Holy Week ( Semana Santa ) takes on a very unique and special pageantry.
.Semana Santa features the procession of pasos, floats of lifelike wooden sculptures of individual scenes of the events of the Passion, or images of the Virgin Mary showing grief for the torture and killing of her Son. Some of the sculptures are of great antiquity and are considered artistic masterpieces, as well as being culturally and spiritually important to the local Catholic population.
During Holy Week, the Conil is crowded with residents and visitors, drawn by the spectacle and atmosphere. The impact is particularly strong for the Catholic community.
The processions are organized by hermandades and cofradÃas, religious brotherhoods. During the processions, members precede the pasos (of which there are up to three in each procession) dressed in penitential robes, and, with few exceptions, hoods. They may also be accompanied by brass bands.
The wearing of the hoods is so penitents can publicly display their penance but without the vanity of being recognised. The hoods are pointed to point to heaven. The procession on Easter Sunday does not have any penitents and the pasi have the image of the risen Christ.
