I JUST recently got the Fujifilm Finepix X100. I preordered it on March 14, 2011 and it arrived in my hands on April 02, 2011.

I was lucky enough to find a store that had a LOW preorder list! The store had 8 preorders, and they received 3 from Fuji Canada. Luckily for me, i made the cut, and I was #3 of 3 cameras.

Anyways, today, I decided to walk around Steveston, BC for a quick street test of the Fujifilm X100. All I can say is, WOW! This camera is FANTASTIC! I feel invisible when I am taking street shots! I definitely feel a lot more liberated as oppose to when I use my 5D Mark II. I'm still getting used to the camera so I hope to improve my speed when handling the camera. It'll probably take a week or something to do just that.

Anyways, here's some test shots from Steveston, BC.

I won't lie - I was ecstatic that HK acting legend, Tony Leung, was in Shang Chi, along with other legends like Michelle Yeoh and Yuen Wah. Because quite frankly, Simu Liu and Awkwafina just don't do it for me.. hell I'd take Ronny Chieng over those two.

Fortunately for me, being the main villain meant Tony Leung was destined to get a Hot Toy, which I eagerly preordered. Two years later it finally arrived into my little group here. For lack of better terms, I'd call this Wenwu's modern garb, as he wore that business suit in Shang Chi's youth, and of course, there was the true Mandarin look.

Unlike Wonder Woman, Wenwu used a great variety of props and special effects in the film. You get forearms with the 10 rings on it, you get the 10 rings loose, you get ring blast effects, slide effects, and of course the one effect when they're playing tug of war with the rings.

The head looks fantastic from the side, but face on.. well, it's really about head tilt and lighting. I mean, ultimately it's OK and better than average, but to me it's more like some random older Chinese dude - though covering up the eyes with sunglasses does help.

Actually, covering the eyes of all the Hot Toys generally helps.

Featuring an outfit that is predominately cloth, and not skin tight, this means that Wenwu can actually pose. Don't go expecting Phicen levels of articulation of course, but there have ben so many figures that have had restricting outfits, it's very rare that you're able to use all of the tools provided to you. It's almost like Hot Toys went and completely redid their body, when it fact it was always there.

Poses where the arm goes overhead are pretty touch to accomplish, as well as anything with really deep leg movement.

Sculpting work on the outfit and accessories is quite good, traits which have always been Hot Toys strengths. The little engravings on the 10 rings are quite nicely done. The raised tendons on the forearms... very nicely done.

Paint work is astonishing as always. The face and forearms perfectly match, and the smaller details, as always, are quite good. I mean, just check out the paint on the 10 Rings... absolutely gorgeous, despite being so tiny.

Build quality wise, there's a few things that are leaning towards the sketchy side. Swapping out the forearms is a test of your courage - more specifically swapping out the forearms with the rings on it because there's really no good place to grab on to. Then there's the tug of war effect - the rings on there are actually just glued on and, as I learned, aren't exactly the most secure, which is kind of a problem when you're basically prying open the one fist that isn't really meant for holding a round object and effectively forcing the hand to do its job.

Do I think this figure is going to be the next Hela or other obscure but highly desirable piece? I seriously doubt it, and fully expect the value to tank, just like pretty much every Hot Toy out there. But that doesn't matter - the universe has finally allowed an opportunity for an aging HK actor to get an action figure, an actor from an era of film and television that apparently, Simu Liu completely missed, despite growing up in China.

The figure could suck and I'd still get it.

This is probably the most iconic look from the new collection.

When I first heard about this year's PP collection being inspired by Kate Spade and Poppy's first year, I wished that the upgrade doll would be an updated version of Portrait in Black, the one that started it all for me with Poppy, and that she'd wear a pink or red dress.

Well, I love Soda Pop a lot and preordered her, but I couldn't resist to bring that vision I had into a dress.

Violett Garden presents her favorite outfit from her collection - hope you like it!

--------------------------------

Dear friends!

This is my new collection in spring 2018: “Bright” – the Violett Garden collection

“Bright” offers you a lot of vibrant and colourful fashions with lovely modern prints and cute details.

My first Poppy Parker, Portrait in Black, has inspired me hugely while sewing this collection. She’s Violett Garden and with her my “Poppy Garden” project started in which I try to re-name all my Poppy dolls after flowers and plants in general.

I hope you’ll love this new collection and will enjoy its colors and fun designs : )!

My etsy shop will be updated with “Bright” – the Violett Garden collection on Monday, March 12th at approximately 13:00 EDT (18:00 in Germany).

I just preordered this lovely pullip at pullipstyle.

Jae Lee's Superman and Wonder Woman

First off sorry to have flooded your Flickr Feed with so many pictures. I cannot believe the amount of detail that went into these particular figures. They are based on the Art by the incomparable Jae Lee, and sculpted beautifully by Jonathan Matthews (who also I believe sculpted the Greg Capullo Designer Series as well). I have never had figures from DC Collectibles that got me so excited since the announcement of Batman The Animated Series.

These figures go so well with the other New 52 especially the other Designer Series by Greg Capullo.

I preordered these on Amazon but when I saw them in person I just knew I had to get them right then and there.

I won't lie - I was ecstatic that HK acting legend, Tony Leung, was in Shang Chi, along with other legends like Michelle Yeoh and Yuen Wah. Because quite frankly, Simu Liu and Awkwafina just don't do it for me.. hell I'd take Ronny Chieng over those two.

Takara Legends Targetmaster Windblade.

Windblade is a relatively recent addition to Transformers lore. If you've watched the recent web series for the Prime Wars trilogy, she's one of the main characters. If you're look a bit further back, she was featured prominently in the comics, and received a toy after being the winner of the first toy design for mass production based purely on fan input.

Unfortunately, as Windblade has a very vibrant and colourful deco, the Transformers Generation toy didn't quite capture the character fully, and I missed the boat on the Legends release. With Windblade recently being featured in the Titans Return line, I immediately preordered the Legends edition as soon as I had a chance.

Like all of the Deluxes in the last wave of the recent Legend entries, Windblade has been deemed to be a Targetmaster, one of those characters with a little bot buddy that transforms into a weapon.

Fundamentally, the two toys are the same. Based off the Triggerhappy toy for transformation, but strangely doesn't share the articulation that the other toys enjoyed. Most notable would be the lack of waist movement. Other changes over her Generations appearance are that she is now a Headmaster, and that you can no longer remove the fan off the top of her head.

However, the two do differ in several ways, none of which should be overly surprising:

- Takara has the collectors friendly packaging

- Takara has more/different paint applications, translucent plastic, and the base red plastic is a richer colour

- Takara comes with the Targetmaster

- Takara comes with the sword the first Generations/Legends toy came with instead of the twin blades the Hasbro version comes with.

- Takara costs twice as much.

Obviously, there is quite a significant different in jet mode, with the fuselage being completely different colours as is the canopy, and the Takara version has painted VTOL fans. Also, the Titan Master/Head Master is missing some paint on the small robot face as well as on the arms and legs.

What I didn't expect was how subtle the changes in robot mode were.

The crest under her neckline is painted dark blue on Hasbro versus the translucent blue plastic used on the Takara. Takara version has blue knee paint applications and fully painted hands.

Even more subtle is her face - unlike the Generations toy, both have opted to go with the softer, more anime inspired face that the Legends version. The gold crest on the top of her head is slightly different, and you'll notice that the paint apps under her eyes are larger on the Takara, and that the Takara version is slightly smiling over the more neutral look of the Hasbro version. IIRC, Hasbro like neutral expressions on everything they make.

The blue paint apps on her eyebrows and sideburns, for lack of better terms, actually exist on both figures, but are very dark blue on the Hasbro to the point where I only noticed them when doing these pictures.

Unique to the Takara version is the Targetmaster. This is the first Targetmaster Legends I've purchased, so I don't know if the part is repainted from another figure or anything like that, and it certainly doesn't act anything like the Targetmaster I got with my Cyclonus years ago. It does have spiffy paint work, and decent articulation for a piece of that size. I'm thinking perhaps of the production costs for this piece (and possibly because of looks) the Targetmaster version went and reused the original Legends weapon rather than went with those twin blades the Hasbro one came with.

Overall, I feel the Takara version looks nicer, but the difference in robot mode isn't as great as it was on the Generations toy. Is it worth the extra $20 CAD? Ehh.. it depends - if you display in jet mode, the looks are significantly different ,but if you display in bot mode, it's going to come down to whether or not you like the extra pieces that the Takara version comes with.

I have waited so long to get a hold of the Fuji X100; finally, I got a call from Hunt's Photo in Boston letting me know they had (2) in stock. I preordered one (no deposits) back in December!

My first impression/experience of this camera is very positive—I am very happy with it. What is most impressive about this camera is its ability to expose images at almost any situation. The exposure seems well balanced while keeping great colors and skin tones even at and above ISO 3200.

I read images at f/2 are soft. IMHO, I think the f/2 images are quite sharp and the bokeh is superb. For the first few days of shooting, I only shot with the f/2 setting. Even under the bright sunlight, I turn the "ND filter" to ON and was able to shoot at f/2 without having to put a real filter on. I do plan to get a hood and a few filters, though. Accessories for the X100 are just too hard to get a hold of these days and I am not willing to pay way above the retail for them.

The ergonomics are good, but could be better. It's a tad slippery to hold and there is barely a grip—thought the grip is better than the Leica X1 but not as grippy as the Ricoh GXR or GRDIII. I am using a wrist strap with it. The camera feels very solid, more so than the X1 but feels less solid than Leica M6. I would be afraid to drop it while I wouldn't worry so much dropping an M6.

The OVF is great to have but needs some improvements particularly in its ability to focus correctly at f/2 and f/2.8. I would recommend using the EVF shooting at such large apertures. It was a hit or miss affair getting the right focus when using OVF with f/2 and f/2.8. Focus speed is fast enough though as expected, not as fast as a DSLR; if I remember correctly, I think the SONY NEX 5 was a little quicker at focusing—but I could be wrong as I no longer have the NEX 5 to compare it to.

Battery life is great, I have shot around 300 pics and it still shows full battery.

I LOVE the panoramic mode; the ability to change the direction of panning gives me the option to get more vertical estate.

I am very happy with the image quality; there is absolutely nothing to complain about (so far).

In the next few weeks, I will most likely post a few more pics and jot down my thoughts a long with the photos. But, to sum it up, the X100 has been a pleasure to use.

The second of two scale statues that I preordered in 2022 was the Mai Shiranui from the Kotobukiya Bishoujo lineup. Well she arrived along with a crap ton of other things I'd been sitting on in October or so, and I've finally had time to open her up.

The statue is, as always, based on the artwork of on Shunya Yamashita, who in case I never mentioned it, is the artist for the entirety of the Koto Bishoujo stuff, including those.. delightful My Little Pony things and the Optimus Prime and Megatron.

She (I believe it's "she") has a distinct art style, with very distinctive face, eyes and curves. Not really much for musculature unless it's absolutely necessary, which on Mai is definitely not really an issue provided you get the curves.

It's a nice piece of art, but I much prefer the art of Kinu Nishimura, and I do wish I still had my 1/6 Mai Shiranui based on her artwork from back in the day.

The statue itself is roughly 1/8 scale, so it's not tiny, but it's certainly not going to take up too much room, even if the base is a bit on the wide side. Stance is Mai's classic fighting pose, though I suspect her facial expression is a bit more flirty than her on the battlefield.

Transition to statue from art handled like they typically do, meaning the overall shape is about right. This time, there were no real liberties taken with the pose. Eyes are their usual smidgen off accuracy.

Overall finished product appears good. Admittedly, I didn't look super hard, but I did not notice any seamlines or other blemishes that usually annoy me, even in the hair. Paintwork is great, with no overspray or other similar issues. Texture is smooth overall.

You might notice that Mai appears to be kind of glossy, especially for a relatively higher end statue. Well, from what I've read, it seems that Kotobukiya made her this way in order to replicate the heavily oiled look Yamashita gave her in the art work. I can sort of see it, though I personally feel that limiting the gloss to the fleshy sections would have been sufficient.

As several others have stated, this does make the entire statue look like it's supposed to be about two price points lower than the MSRP. I don't think I'm bored enough to spray the statue with matte clearcoat in order to remedy this.

This girl's dad was very happy to see us. Apparently, the photographers in the NYC area who shoot tournaments are much more expensive. The team gladly paid my price for a preorder special.

A cheer and a jig dance!

Hey everybody. By now, I’m hoping that most geocachers in New Brunswick have heard about the awesome geocoin that the Fredericton Regional Geocachers are producing, but if not, have no fear! I’m hear to share the news.

We are planning on placing the order by the end of this week, in order to have the freshly minted coins for the Bye Bye Winter Bash weekend in Fredericton, on April 10th and 11th. If you are interested in ordering a coin, please let me know, as I am the organizer for them!

We are ordering 150 of these beautiful coins, and as of the writing of this post, 111 have been “preordered” by individual cachers. The cost for these unique geocoins? A lowly $8 each! My email address is sialonak [at] gmail [dot] com, if you are interested in ordering one – or, go to the facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=192176623576) for the Fredericton Geocachers and post a message there for me.

The geocoins themselves are going to be made in a black nickel finish. The snowman side will be epoxied, in order to protect the glow in the dark feature (picture included of the glow feature). The snowflake side will not have epoxy, in order to accent the little snowflakes more. Neither side is more durable than the other, I am told – the epoxy only protects the glow feature, not the coloured enamel. They will also have a unique icon on geocaching.com, which I’ve also included a picture of here.

If you are interested in having one, please contact me sooner rather than later, to avoid the disappointment of not being able to own one of these beauties!

When my little girl recently outgrew her baby quilt, I set out to make her a new, bigger quilt that would be just as special.

Then I came across Sarah Jane's Wee Wander fabric line. These fabrics are so special!

After preordering and waiting forever for the fabric to come in, I finally got to see them in person. They are so lovely! I was so indecisive about how to cut them for a quilt. I felt that cutting them too small would lose some of the charm. So I laid out each one individually and cut it exactly the size it wanted to be :) The size that allowed each piece of fabric to shine. The rest of this quilt back just fell into place.

Jae Lee's Superman and Wonder Woman

First off sorry to have flooded your Flickr Feed with so many pictures. I cannot believe the amount of detail that went into these particular figures. They are based on the Art by the incomparable Jae Lee, and sculpted beautifully by Jonathan Matthews (who also I believe sculpted the Greg Capullo Designer Series as well). I have never had figures from DC Collectibles that got me so excited since the announcement of Batman The Animated Series.

These figures go so well with the other New 52 especially the other Designer Series by Greg Capullo.

I preordered these on Amazon but when I saw them in person I just knew I had to get them right then and there.

I won't lie - I was ecstatic that HK acting legend, Tony Leung, was in Shang Chi, along with other legends like Michelle Yeoh and Yuen Wah. Because quite frankly, Simu Liu and Awkwafina just don't do it for me.. hell I'd take Ronny Chieng over those two.

Fortunately for me, being the main villain meant Tony Leung was destined to get a Hot Toy, which I eagerly preordered. Two years later it finally arrived into my little group here. For lack of better terms, I'd call this Wenwu's modern garb, as he wore that business suit in Shang Chi's youth, and of course, there was the true Mandarin look.

Unlike Wonder Woman, Wenwu used a great variety of props and special effects in the film. You get forearms with the 10 rings on it, you get the 10 rings loose, you get ring blast effects, slide effects, and of course the one effect when they're playing tug of war with the rings.

The head looks fantastic from the side, but face on.. well, it's really about head tilt and lighting. I mean, ultimately it's OK and better than average, but to me it's more like some random older Chinese dude - though covering up the eyes with sunglasses does help.

Actually, covering the eyes of all the Hot Toys generally helps.

Featuring an outfit that is predominately cloth, and not skin tight, this means that Wenwu can actually pose. Don't go expecting Phicen levels of articulation of course, but there have ben so many figures that have had restricting outfits, it's very rare that you're able to use all of the tools provided to you. It's almost like Hot Toys went and completely redid their body, when it fact it was always there.

Poses where the arm goes overhead are pretty touch to accomplish, as well as anything with really deep leg movement.

Sculpting work on the outfit and accessories is quite good, traits which have always been Hot Toys strengths. The little engravings on the 10 rings are quite nicely done. The raised tendons on the forearms... very nicely done.

Paint work is astonishing as always. The face and forearms perfectly match, and the smaller details, as always, are quite good. I mean, just check out the paint on the 10 Rings... absolutely gorgeous, despite being so tiny.

Build quality wise, there's a few things that are leaning towards the sketchy side. Swapping out the forearms is a test of your courage - more specifically swapping out the forearms with the rings on it because there's really no good place to grab on to. Then there's the tug of war effect - the rings on there are actually just glued on and, as I learned, aren't exactly the most secure, which is kind of a problem when you're basically prying open the one fist that isn't really meant for holding a round object and effectively forcing the hand to do its job.

Do I think this figure is going to be the next Hela or other obscure but highly desirable piece? I seriously doubt it, and fully expect the value to tank, just like pretty much every Hot Toy out there. But that doesn't matter - the universe has finally allowed an opportunity for an aging HK actor to get an action figure, an actor from an era of film and television that apparently, Simu Liu completely missed, despite growing up in China.

The figure could suck and I'd still get it.

today i went to 2 targets, 1 walmart, and 4 toys r us.

in all of that i found just one spectra and zero abbey.

the walmarts and targets around here have NOTHING new. all series one and dance of the dead....

the TRU did seem to have new stuff -- saw bunch of the new series 2 cleo, calwdine and frankie... but, i think i can live w/o them.

i also saw the dead tired series... and i think i can live without them too.

i saw the draculara and claude wolf set -- which i do like a lot -- but i'd already gotten mine in the mail b/c i preordered on amazon!

the one spectra i managed to find was at a TRU.... and the 1st of the 4 TRU that i went to. lol

i'm still not taking these guys out of the boxes... not sure why.

On this day its been raining and dreary all day. I updated my playlist,my last playlist of 2011. I went downstairs. Tice went to the gym and I made coffee.I ground some new coffee too cuz i used the rest of the ground coffee up. Dad went out to take care of some stuff for awhile but I drank too much coffee and I got real nervous. I was nervous I made my mom upset nervous about where my brother was, about the trees swaying, the rain etc. I looked on here to kept me occupied.It was weird ive never had coffee do that. Me and Tice are going over to Mom's later. We were gonna have shepards pie tonite but we decided to wait til tommarow. I was also nervous cuz no one was answering text messages I sent instantly haha. Tice finally came back from the gym 5 hours later. Its raining hard and we are gonna go to moms around 3. Its too rainy to walk over. I rode with Tice. He's gonna pick up smoothies before we get there. I had him drop me off at Target to check on a prescription. Had no news on it so I went over to the smoothie shop and ordered some coconut smoothie but I got a Banana tasting smoothie instead. We got to moms and watched some of Tice's Bob Newhart and Dick Van Dyke DVDs. He likes old TV shows. Moms back is still a little sore. That made me nervous too. Later on we preordered food online from Chipotles. We picked it up. Some indian guy was in there having difficulties ordering and he kept pointing over the sneeze guard at the fixings. It was amusing. It quit raining and kinda cleared up around 4:30. Its just windy now. We took the food back to moms and ate and kept watching DVDs til about 9:30. We went home then.We got back and watched more Dick Van Dyke. Last night I found out later that Drew Brees Broke Dan Marinos single season passing record in the NFL on Monday night playing the Falcons and won. Good Job. Tonight NC state played Louisville in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte. It was replayed later that early morning on Dec.28th. I talked to Sandy some tonight and listened to music. I slept downstairs cuz i fell asleep there.

Surprisingly, Australia got some of the Harry Potter dolls! I’m kinda annoyed Ginny and Minerva weren’t here but I’m mainly here for the trio cuz HOLY SHIT the Harry Potter dolls were GRAIL dolls of mine as a child who binged on the series. Sadly the first run of the dolls in 2001-2003 never made it to my area as a kid and I was so embittered and sad.

Ofc these aren’t the same amount of detail, but highly articulated figures with decent likenesses???? I was so incredibly happy.

I’m a bit annoyed I preordered the dolls on Walmart but the refund process is taking up to a month to get while I grabbed these at Big W but whatever, I finally got the dolls 9 year old me had always wanted, especially Ron! Ahhh.
