Hyudorana Amis Resin

by radiantdreamer January 10, 2009 in Anime Figures 5 comments tags: 1:6 scale, anime, boobs, figure, hobbyfan, hyudorana amis, prepainted, Resin, statue

So I stumbled upon this pretty wicked resin kit on hobbyfan. It’s most impressive with excellent detail, and a creative idea. For $100 for a prepainted statue of this caliber, that’s a pretty slick deal. Especially considering standard PVC figures nowadays can cost upwards to $80 a pop. I would have bought it. But, well… there’s a reason why I decided not to. (NSFW)

New Year, New Camera

by radiantdreamer January 04, 2009 in Anime Figures 5 comments tags: anime, camera, canon, dslr, figures, fx-9, goodsmile company, happy new year, kureha, panasonic, radiantdreamer, rebel xsi

Happy New Year everyone! I originally had a great idea for a New Year’s photo, but didn’t have time to set it up and photoshop it. My wife was generous enough to buy me an entry level dSLR camera for Christmas this year, a Sony a300k.

Happy Holidays from Radiant Dreamer!

Happy holidays everyone! It’s the first day of my holidays, and fortunately all my shopping is done. It’s been snowing a bit here, and apparently, record temperatures, but nowhere near as bad as say, Halifax or something, where the temperatures fall below -40c. Now THAT’S crazy cold! This festive season is when most of my friends have gone back home to visit their families. This of course, makes a boring holiday season for me. But what better time than to put some effort into improving my art, and playing Valkyria Chronicles! I’m fortunate that most of my family is local, so I don’t have to travel long distances to celebrate Christmas with them. In case you’re wondering, no I didn’t get a special variant Loligoth Asuka figure. I am a photoshop artist after all. More on that after the jump!

Happy Halloween!!

Who’s this?

My sister just got back from Japan and gave me a gift – it’s a Sega Prize figure. But I have no idea who this is supposed to be. Does anyone know? More pics after the jump!

Queen’s Gate Alice Arrives.

by radiantdreamer October 14, 2008 in Anime Figures 6 comments tags: 1:8 scale, alice, anime, figures, nitro+, PVC, queen's gate

My Queen’s Gate Alice arrived today. No time to actually do a photoshoot or a photoshop image, but there’s always time to boast. 🙂 She was the last one in stock at e2046. Lucky me! Or unlucky me, depending on how you look at it. (Chun knows what I’m talking about). Hopefully, she’ll be my next photoshop subject. With Halloween coming up, she is a good candidate for some goth-y girls and some pumpkin pie! In the next couple of months, I’ll most likely be VERY busy. Work is starting to pick up again, and I still have art to do at home. In addition, my backlog of games are getting bigger every day (okay, I exaggerate). But November and October is really crazy in terms of gaming. See why, here: https://mirrorsedge.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/so-much-gaming-so-little-time/

Toro is Full of Win!

I just got this today! (after what, 6 months since pre-order?) Doko Demo Toro is full of epic win. You cannot deny it. Even Konata agrees!

Metal Gear Revy 4

by radiantdreamer October 01, 2008 in Anime Figures 10 comments tags: 1:8 scale, anime, black lagoon, ebay, figure, metal gear solid, photoshop, PVC, radiantdreamer, revy

To celebrate my completion of Metal Gear Solid 4, I decided to make a photoshop image of Revy in the Metal Gear world. I’ve kind of always had this impression that Revy hung out a lot in dusty South American, and Middle Eastern regions for some odd reason. I’ve never seen the anime so I wouldn’t know. It might be her striking resemblance to a certain Ms. Croft. A whole 25 photos and a review after the jump!

Nendoroid Gamers!

I’ve had this ambitious idea in my mind for at least two months now (maybe even three). The original idea was to have them hold Playstation 3 controllers, since Konata is all about the Playstation. But well… I couldn’t get their hands to get close enough. Besides, Wii is way more of a party system anyway. More on how this images was accomplished after the jump!

Chua Churam – the Vampire Loligoth Pink Rocker?

by radiantdreamer September 10, 2008 in Anime Figures 20 comments tags: 1:8 scale, ABS, anime, chu x chu idol, chua churam, figure, gothic, guitar, loli, photoshop, PVC, rocker, vampire

My latest arrival is Chua Churam from Chu X Chu Idol. I know nothing about the series (if it even is a series) but I knew I had to have her when I saw her. The flowing dress and everything was just too exquisite to pass up. She is, in fact, the reason why I sold Ignis the White. I figure that having one or two flowing dress figures is enough, so something had to go. I must say, I am happy with that decision.

Figma Saber – The Best in PVC Posability

I would have to say that I am MOST impressed with aquiring this figure. For a very long time, I’ve been waiting for a version of Saber that really appealed to me – both in dynamic pose, and in detail. In part, this would be my first armored Saber and first Figma in one go. Fortunately, when I made the purchase, I had committed to this being the first and last Figma I would purchase (for the sake of my wallet, my sanity, and my marriage). I had to make it a good one. Thankfully it is.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…

by radiantdreamer June 30, 2008 in Anime Figures 10 comments tags: 1:6 scale, anime, figures, ignis the white, jingai makyou, orchid seed

FINALLY. I’ve sold Ignis the White on Ebay. I’ve had Ignis for a while, but have been itching to get rid of her ever since aquiring her. I bought into the hype way back when she was announced, and when everyone and their dog tried to get one of these. At first, I was indifferent towards it, thinking “yeah, it looks nice, but it’s a big space hogger, and it’s out of my price range. When I saw her available at play-asia, I jumped at the opportunity and bought her for a reasonable price. I was thinking “Yes! I finally get to own such a magnificant figure!” The thing is, she seriously is a big space hog! She took one whole Detolf shelf! She definitely demanded presence. I can’t stop complaining about the problems with this figure. Get ready to hear my rant!

e2046 Elf Ranger

by radiantdreamer June 24, 2008 in Anime Figures 6 comments tags: 1:6 scale, anime, e2046, elf girl, figure, ori, prepainted, ranger, resin kit, statue

So at one point in time, I was on a resin spree, and had purchased three resin statues all over the place. One of which was the Gothic Devil Girl, from HobbyFan, the Asuka on Motorcycle from e2046, and finally this much anticipated Elf Ranger. I had originally missed out on the first run of this prepainted beauty. As you know, I’m a sucker for elf girls. So when this was suddenly open for a second production run, I jumped on it without thinking. Was it worth it? Read on!

The Rise of Rize

by radiantdreamer June 03, 2008 in Anime Figures 7 comments tags: 1:8 scale, anime, figures, good smile company, photoshop, PVC, red entertainment, rize, shuraki

Finally, the last Shuraki figure. It’s been a long haul, and many exciting e-tailer camp-outs, but I’m glad that I have all five of the 1st-run Shuraki figures. The style of Rize matches Shall very well. Of course, what’s the point of me posting pictures if they aren’t photoshopped? Onward!!

Nida – Make-up for battle is Priority01

by radiantdreamer May 20, 2008 in Anime Figures 11 comments tags: 1:8 scale, anime, figures, good smile company, needa, nida, photoshop, prepainted, radiantdreamer, shuraki

I just got Needa today. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to take proper photos, so I’ll post more when I get a chance. Here is my latest photoshop work.

My Story

by radiantdreamer May 15, 2008 in Anime Figures 9 comments tags: anime, belldandy, figures, my story, PVC, Resin, sakura

My story… is rather simple on the surface, but deeply rooted. I have always been an avid fan of Anime. I grew up in the Macross/Robotech era. I didn’t really understand anime back then as anything different from other cartoons, but took it for the face value that I saw, much as I took to He-Man and GI Joe and Transformers at the time. It wasn’t until high school that I had a more serious point of view on Anime. Watching series like Maison Ikkoku and Orange Road, I could identify with the main characters and their pursuit for happiness with the woman they admired. My identification with these characters stemmed from my own silent crushes with the many girls in my school. Always thinking, never acting. It wasn’t until I went to college that I started getting more interested in Anime and became a proud collector – buying anime CDs and posters, talking about Anime, and playing anime related video games. This was mostly due to the friends I met whom I still consider them my best friends. I had realised that my interest in Macross and Gundam was minimal. I was more interested in the likes of Morrigan, […]
