old anime news and some other shit.

Have I mentioned 40 times today that I am SOOO into Shiozaki Yuji’s work? They are seriously my favorite reads. Well, a very popular pose of Kan-u is headed for PVC for by way of Wani Books. She’s all white and packing her crescent blade. Just like daddy like. I think the cast looks pretty good, but I would recommend that you give heavy consideration to the e2046 Gathering resin prepaint[NSFW]. That shit is high quality. I mean it. And they added a removable top. Great job on the body too. Still, the PVC looks nice as well. e2046 lists theirs as 1/6 and the PVC is listed as 1/7 scale (240mm), so who knows which it is. PVC could have been recast smaller. The PVC will run you 6,000 yen in July, and you can grab the resin kit from e2046 on June 6th for US$128.25.

Pictures of the white PVC only after the jump. Four of them.

This was my first order from e2046 through their Gathering series pre-painted recast of BUBBA’s now world famous Haruhi resin kit. Let me quickly say, I am totally smitten with it and it exceeded my expectations. Want to hear the best part? Well, they were giving away a free black version to one lucky buyer… and GUESS WHAT!! THAT LUCKY BUYER WAS ME! Absolutely fucking wonderful! I have seriously never won anything before (in a literal sense as regards luck based contests) and wow. Anyway, it’s a beautiful thing. Thanks e2046. Really made my day.

Now, other than my wailing about having won, surely you guys will want to see more of the Haruhi. Hit the jump after the picture to see the full review and get the skinny on the quality of this figure beyond what their shots will show you.
