I'm currently using a pc that was my brother's and my father's one, since mine is "on vacation" and it needs a doctor. Sigh! Luckily I have this one for replacement!
The image on the desktop is one I found last time I used this pc, I liked it a lot and I used it as my desktop. It's not so deeply blue, but actually white and light blue.
The little matrioska dolls are a gift from my brother after his travel in Russia.
The "Death Note" super deformed figures came from my recent travel to Palermo, I've found them at the comic fair named Cospladya. I've always wanted a super deformed of L, he's so cute in sd version! XD Well, he's actually cute in normal version too! I don't like Light but I liked the pose with the scythe, as an opposite to L's angel version (the special version of the one sitting on the armchair, I was lucky enough to get it at the first try! XD). I also have Watari but he's hidden behind Devi (Pullip Mir).
Bubble's mini figure came from something like a snack package, she's my favourite among the "Powerpuff Girls", but I also quite like Buttercup.
Devi is, of course, my custom Pullip Mir! ^_^ The star of the picture.
My own version of the first, classic Gundam. I've tried to make it as compact, poseable and without lacking in details without going superdeformed. 20 cm tall, I hope you like it ;)
sometimes we get carried away.
This originally started out as a simple exo-skeleton similar to the loader in Aliens and my SCV but when it started to look like the Xeku-Zwei, i decided to go that way.
I love how compact this little fella is, almost a cube.
It's been awhile since I've done one of these. Actually, I had started this at the same time as the others, but it sort of got shuffled to the back of the pile and was semi-forgotten. This is a Grumman F-3, the last American biplane to serve in the US Navy.

Meanwhile, at Jerry's apartment, Jerry has the whole gang over as Ultraman's* parents are in town.** But he didn't know the entire family was coming. And now, they're all here...
"You are Jerry and this is your abode?"
"I am Jerry. This was my abode until it was taken over by Ultras."
...laughter...
"I am Ultraman King!"
"Alright sir. How do you do?"
...laughter...
"To my left is Ultraman Taro!"
"Greetings Jerry!"
"Nice ta meetcha!"
"And to my right is Ultraman Astra!"
"Salutations, Jerry!"
"Wow, you all live by the exclamation. So, since you're the King, and fashionably late, can I assume this is all the Ultras that are coming?"
"This will be all of us today. On what shall we dine? Show us the feast!"
...laughter...
"Have you ever feasted on Ring Dings and Pepsi?"
...laughter...
"Hmm... I must say, I have not!"
"Do you know what Ring Dings and Pepsi are?"
"No!"
"Good!"
...laughter...
"Well, enjoy and try not to be too 'Ultra'."
"Yes! Now, where is the birthday boy, Ultraman?"
"I've been meaning to ask, are you all named after him?"
"I already asked them that, Jerry!"
...laughter...
...applause...

It's been awhile since I've done one of these. Actually, I had started this at the same time as the others, but it sort of got shuffled to the back of the pile and was semi-forgotten. This is a Grumman F-3, the last American biplane to serve in the US Navy.

I like star wars aaannd Lime green so much sooo how could be that I dont have an Oola bighead? :P
Here is an exemple of expressive face. Eyes and mouth can be changed to give different expressions. Here tis no eyebrows but it could also be modified.
I had to use a non lego piece to make the net cover but rest is 100% lego.
Okay kill me if the tentacles have the treads but I am sure you know its new chic tendance ;P
Enjoy it!
WALL-E explores the urban decay.
Shot with a yellow gel over the lens. Scanned a half dozen times till I got the colors right. I considered shooting this Pola with my Nikon in hopes of it doing a little better than the scanner...
This is the first one I finished. I adore that character even more than Ironman (coming soon). The idea of the big heads is make little simple body and a big expressive and mobile head. Here its only the robotical machine. Soon I will make the face... ;)
Hope you enjoy!

So if you've been paying attention to the feed recently, you may have noticed something... different show up. Well.. most of something, seeing how I didn't exactly use all the parts. Today, I complete the rest of the picture.
Presenting the Beast Kingdom Egg Attack Avengers Endgame: Black Widow figure.
OK, so I'm going to skip the usual background check into the character.. by now I'm confident most of the planet knows who Black Widow from the MCU is so there's that. But what exactly IS this thing?
Some people aren't aware of this, but there are still quite a few actual toy designers in Southeast Asia, just not ones that are readily available. Beast Kingdom out of Taiwan is one such ... I'm not sure where the name came from but there it is. According to their website, they make a variety of collectible memorabilia, with their most prominent product line being something called the Egg Attack line.. again, don't ask me about names. The best way to describe the line is if you took a character, gave it a Disney Animator-esque make over, and then reduced its proportions to what is known as SD or Super Deformed proportions. There is a line of statues, but perhaps the most active line would the Egg Attack Action line, which offers these roughly 6 inch tall figures as an action figure... you're not going to get Figuarts level of posing, but you get better than Legends and Mezco stuff.
I'm not a collector of this line whatsoever - in fact, this may be my one and only, and of course I ended up paying a premium by trying to do things through the proper, local channels, which was further complicated by the fact for reasons, this was a Previews Exclusive item that did not naturally ship to Canada, so off the bat I'm gonna say "BITE ME, PREVIEWS". But, being a Widow and actually having a cloth costume intrigued me enough to bite the bullet. And for those who didn't know about these figures.. yes.. yes these are licensed product. It isn't a third party concoction - it's perfectly legit.
Despite the sheer annoyance of getting the figure and paying premium, if I were able to get these for MSRP (about 75 USD, so slightly more than you average Figuarts), they're a neat sideline to your usual collection. As mentioned, this is my first one, and I'm basing things on my interpretation, so here we go.
In terms of contents, this Widow is no slouch. There's the figure, an alternate head with angry expression, two baton handles for her backpack, parts to make two separate batons as well as the combined form, two pistols, five pairs of hands total (pistol holding, baton holding, relaxed, closed, clenched), and a stand.
Now, I know nothing about the underlying body, but I can say that whoever created the patterns for her suit did a fantastic job. The suit is form fitting and the material feels like a thinner version of whatever Hot Toys has been using for their Widow suits since Civil War. There are some iron on textures and straps on the suit, but in general there are no large sections of plether or other rigid materials, so overall the suit offers very good range of motion... well, very good for the the body that's underneath the hood to the point where I don't think there's any real restriction of motion. Of course, they cheated when it comes to the knee pads, being a plastic piece that is stuck on the suit and that's all, but it's no worse than what I got with my Mezco Hela. This form fitting nature combined with the bodies proportions makes this figure "Swole Dwarf Natasha".
As stated above, articulation on this figure was never really going to be at Figuarts levels or Hot Toys, but based on the overall intent of to product, it never was meant to be - not to say it's a slouch in this area. According to the box, there are 22 points of articulation, which I can believe... at least more so than the 30 points of articulation claimed on Mezco figures. Points are as follows:
- toes
- ankles
- double jointed knees
- hips with thigh swivel
- waist
- mid torso (tilt forward and swivel)
- shoulders with chest compress and expansion
- bicep swivels
- double jointed elbows
- wrists
- head
Furthermore, the following notes. First off, the wrist joints are connected to the actual hands themselves. Due to the overall girth of the pieces, they're definitely nowhere as fragile as true 1/12 scale items, but as always, exercise caution. Secondly, with regards to the head there is some articulation on the ponytail, and also, it should be noted that the eyes can actually swivel - side to side only, but that still adds some variety to your display options.
Overall, Widow can pull off whatever a similarly proportioned human (i.e. a toddler) could do, albeit with less drool.
Paint and decal wise, there's both not much to talk about, but at the same time, there's some good stuff to quickly review. Naturally there isn't much on most of her body, as she's wearing a suit which has iron on textures and straps - not mind blowing, but like Mezco, it does the job. Blackwash on the upper parts of her boots are again alright.. nothing to write home about but at the same time doesn't disappoint either. Masking on her wrist guards is mostly clean, but the paint work on her hands is terrible. Very thickly applied, with detail paint apps being very meh, with the only real positive thing I can say is that at least they got the skin tone right. Fortunately, paint work on where it counts the most, namely the face and head, is very good. Paint Applications are crisp and clean, with masking on the silver parts done well, with good blending in areas where the red meets the white of her hair. Decal work on her visually striking eyes is fantastic, and in case it didn't show up very well on camera, Beast Kingdom even gave Natasha some flushed cheeks via some subtly applied paint applications.
Build quality is kind of the low point of this figure - relative low point.Not being a Japanese figure, my expectation for were lowered and sure enough the figure had just enough to meet that bar. Nothing wrong with regards to material choices, thank goodness - no flimsy Legends plastics and the general feel of the joints seems to be pretty good. It's really a matter of parts finishes and tolerances. There are some rough spots here and there on the hair and weapons, and the hands are very rough with regards to finishes, and I find it difficult to, for example, stick the baton handles into her backpack. Like with Storm, these issues aren't quite on the level of $20 USD North American figures, but they're definitely not as good as with Figuarts, Figma, Mezco, and the like, so caution is urged when handling some of the more delicate parts.
With that, this overview draws to its conclusion. As stated earlier, a neat sideline and while I love Black widow, the overall aesthetic of the series reminds me too much of a sports team mascot for me to take it seriously as a collection focus. For what it's worth though, if this aesthetic works for, I do feel that the Egg Attack Action line does have what it takes to bridge that gap between cutesy collectible and full strength action figure.
Till the next time.
