DSLR? But I hardly Know'r!

Ok ok, my apologies for the terrible pun as the title.
But yeah! DSLR!

So long story short, after several months I've decided to go out and fork out a _lot_ of cash for a Nikon D60 twin lens kit. Coming out of the closet about another bad habit of mine... Photography. Like a small child, I pulled it out of it's box pretty much the moment I got home and started practicing (Or, getting stupidly snap-happy.) Whichever term you pick. :P

It's a fantastic camera, solid, functional. More importantly, it takes _awesome_ pictures.
No post-processing needed! (Unless I over-expose my pics... but anyway.
The only qualms I have now is that I'm going to be spending more on new lens', a flash, and what have you. Oh, woe is me. >_>
Well, anyways. Here's some shots of Unison Vita and Reinforce from Alter to keep you lot happy. :P

Figma Hatsune Miku

I was very pleased to have this come in. A welcome suprise, in fact. Anyhow, here's some pics.

Fairly basic Figma build quality, nothing amazing except the price of $20 :)

As usual, Thanks to the boys and girls over at HobbyLink Japan
On a side note, My 24" screens are coming in under 2 hours. Hurrah!

Reinforce Zwei! First Review!

So, as life goes on, I may as well fill this blog. A job interview next week, Computer building for friends this weekend, life is good! But that aside, I bring you... Reinforce Zwei by Alter! It came a few weeks ago, thanks to the good people at HLJ. Something I would indeed really like to have is a few shelves. Pity there isn't a Ikea store or anything around me. So much to buy, so little time.

Before I start though, apologies for the quality, ye olde' camera is dying. I'm still happy with it though, so I'm not going to get anything newer for a fair while. And it still does the job.
Anyhow, to the fig! For those who watched the Mahou Shojou Lyrical Nanoha series, she is Hayate's unison device that appears in the final arc of the trilogy - StrikerS I did enjoy the series alot, and do reccomend it to people. (And here I am, an 18 year old guy recommending magical girl anime... God knows what'd happen to me if my boss found out.) But anyway, the quality of her is amazing, my first of hopefully many figures by Alter.
If you were thinking of buying her - Good luck! From what I've seen, she sold out pretty much worldwide a week within her release. However, if you do find one from a reasonably trustworthy buyer, don't hesitate, most likely it'll be gone the next time you go back and check. She's an incredibly popular supporting character.
Overall, I was very impressed by the level of detail, especially in a figurine. I can definitely say Alter are staying on my buying list for anything I find in the future. The hair though sometimes scares me, it does feel a little fragile

I have heard that Alter are releasing a figurine of her master which comes with a mini-reinforce thats due in december, however. I'll keep you posted.
