Nendoroid Hanami Days

Oh, what would I give to see those lovely cherry blossoms in person? Hanami season is already coming to an end, and while I cannot go to Japan this time to see them, I just satisfied myself by remaking my handmade cherry blossoms and doing a Hanami inspired figure photography!

My nendoroids are celebrating Hanami season and everyone loves seeing cherry blossoms! It seems that seeing those lovely petals fall one by one gives that calm and peaceful vibe and it seeing it in person has been my ultimate dream!

Can you guess all that Hanami inspired picnic foodies? :D

So here I used some of the cherry blossom trees I used for Sakura-chan's photoshoot. My cat ruined the rest of the tree branches (she bit them all T_T) so I have to remake them all over again! Now my trees are done, I took them out so my nendoroids can enjoy Hanami season!

Mayoi chan loves Hanami season!

The Hatsune Sisters are enjoying having a picnic under the cherry blossom trees.

Oh, wait... Someone decided to come and join them!

Yayy!! It's Yukata Miku nee-san~

It's such a fun treat seeing all your Miku nendoroids together! I can't wait for their other sister to come! She belongs so well in this season! XD

Ryuko-chan loves having onigiri

Satsuki: "What?! We ran out of tea?"

Ryuko: "Just drink sake, Satsuki-chan."

Mako: "Did I hear someone say sake? Kampaiii!!!"

No croquettes for you Guts, but try this Sakura Mochi for a change!

Guts is feeling hungry seeing all that picnic food!

Cherry blossom watching is so much fun, look at how happy Mako-chan is!

..and look who came out of the sea just to see cherry blossoms!

Sakura-chan enjoys Hanami season too. *sigh* If only I could join her!

I had fun creating this special photoshoot for Hanami season, it makes me want to be tiny and join my nendoroids as they celebrate one of the most important seasons in Japan! I do have plans to go there and fulfill my dream, I'll make sure that I'll time my stay during Hanami season so it's gonna be one really lovely trip for me!

Hope you all enjoy this set and may we all dream of seeing cherry blossoms someday!

First Look: Nendoroid Kiryuin Satsuki

kill la kill

2015 welcomed me in a slightly different way than usual. I was sick the entire New Year's Eve and was only able to celebrate for a few minutes, you know, eat food and take a few family photos before heading back to bed because I was too sick to move. Then the next morning I still wasn't feeling that much better, but I'm tired of lying in bed so I took my camera, arranged my lights and table and went on taking photos of my newest Nendoroid.

Say hello to the almighty Kiryuin Satsuki-sama! She looks so sparkly and ready to transform!

I got her days before New Year's eve and was supposed to do a figure shoot back then but I got busy with work and household chores so I completely forgot to set her up for a shoot. Had I not been sick I could've taken more pictures of her, hehe.

Kill la Kill was one of those few animes I've watched and loved last 2014. I learned it from Mamitan who was raving at it back then, so I got curious and I watched what's the hype about. I was taken completely by the entire series, it's so good! When GSC announced they'll be making figures of the main KLK characters, I was super excited, I made sure I won't miss their pre-order dates!

Fast forward, I already got Nendoroids Ryuko, Mako (which I already took a figure photoshoot here) and here's Satsuki to complete the trio. I'm not really looking forward to see the rest of the characters be made in figures too (like the Honnouji Academy Elite Four), but I feel these three are already enough. :)

Today's setup was just on top of my lap table, rocks and all came from the garden and I just placed two lights beside Satsuki. Since I'm still practicing light setups, I'm happy with what I did here, so royal blue all over, and SO very Satsuki!

I like the gold detail finish on her uniform, those shoulder pads look so shiny too! She looks like royalty! Well, from someone who wields the highest Goku uniform in school, she sure must look sharp and classy, even in Nendoroid form! ;)

A close-up shot. That serious face looks so cute!

Look at that face, head up high and mighty, proudly showing off her 'wedding dress', Junketsu.

*heels clicking* She comes with a tiny stage and you can recreate...

This scene. LOL.

Ohgod I had a hard time replicating that scene where the stands on top of the building and looks down on everyone, light rays and all screaming that infamous speech ending with a snobby "...you PIGS in human clothing!" line.

That famous line of hers was all over me during the entire shoot. I wanted to make her look fierce, intimidating and proud in my photos!

I also did a few shots of her and Ryuko having a fight, it's quite hard to do a battle scene when it comes to Nendoroids, they look just like squabbling chibi sisters XD

..and if you add two dark bars at the top and bottom of a picture and put some fake subtitle at the bottom, it will look like it's taken from a video XD

Okay, that's just me having fun with my shots. XD

Anyway...after all that pride and fighting, Lady Satsuki is still Ryuko's sister afterall. I took her outside for a nice fresh air and to have a fun picnic with Ryuko and Mako. Now they're teaching her how to ride a bike.

Satsuki: MATOIIIIIII!!!! I swear, if I fell from this you'll gonna pay!

Ryuko: Oh shut up! If you can run a school, then you can run a bike!

Mako: Gambatteeee Satsuki-samaaaa~

Can someone pass the tea please?!

Seriously? Candy? SERIOUSLY?

Mako: Satsuki-sama, don't be so picky about picnic food!

Satsuki: But I don't eat candy!

Ryuko: Go and eat that cookie instead!

Satsuki: Fine, before Mako forces me to eat that horrible croquettes!

Mako: Heyyy my croquettes aren't so bad!

I hope you like this set! Do you also have Lady Satsuki on your collection? You better get her soon or she'll step on you! See you on my next blog post!

Love,

First Look: Nendoroid Mankanshoku Mako

kill la kill

Oh my, it's been a while since I updated my figure blog. I was active on my Facebook page, but I haven't been able to post anything here due to work and events. There's a backlog of toy photos for me to edit! LOL. Now, it's also been like, a month since I got this Nendoroid which I'm gonna show you guys! I was so excited when I got her, but then it was only later when I took her to a photoshoot... the shame.

Mako was mad at me for this verrryyy late post.

Anyway, here's Nendoroid Mankanshoku Mako! I got her together with Ryuko-chan from Hubbyte Toy Store. Oh, I also remember getting Satsuki too, and since it's taking forever for her to arrive, Ryuko might have to wait as well too. I have an epic shoot just for them! :D

Say hello to Mako-chan!

Mako's an instant PO the moment Kahotan showed a preview of this lovely nendoroid. To those who didn't know Mako-chan, I highly recommend you to watch Kill la Kill and get entertained by her antics! XD She's Ryuko-chan's hyperactive bestfriend and getting her together with Ryuko is a must! (add Satsuki-chan too XD)

Mako comes with Guts of course! They look so cute!

Mako: "Chotto matteeee Ryuko-chan!!!"

Ryuko: "What?"

Mako: "What the hell are you eating?!"

Ryuko: "It's already dinner! I'm hungry!"

Mako: *grabs burger and throws it* "You should eat THIS instead!"

Mako: "Those unidenditifiable stuff in that croquettes can make you and Senketsu stronger, you know!"

Senketsu: "Don't eat it, Ryuko! o.O"

Then after forcing Ryuko to eat those croquettes, Mako when out with Guts to play outside. I happen to catch a short glimpse of the sunset sky and it gave a warm glow to this photo below. I like outdoor photography the most! :D

Walking with Guts on a cozy afternoon.

Jump, Guts, Jump!!!

Mako got tired from playing with Guts, I caught her sleeping in the shade here.

I designed a simple set similar to Mako-chan's house here. I wanted a cozy feel for their house, and I'm gonna use it again for my next shoot, that's when I get Satsuki that is. ;)

See you again on my next post!

Love,

First Look: Ryuko Matoi

good smile company

I finally got a chance to shoot Ryuko Matoi's scale figure! She belongs to my friends Bige and James and they let me shoot Ryuko the first day I came to Cebu! Thank God I didn't sleep early that night hahahaha!

Kill la Kill is one of my favorite animes I've seen last year and when GSC announced a scale figure of Matoi, I wept because I want it so much but I can't due to budget issues hahaha. But the figure gods were so kind to me because I went shutter happy shooting her this weekend!

Ryuko up close, I love her angry stare, she's so ready to slice anything with her Scissor Blade!

Her base compliments her look, very similar to the place where she's usually battling at the Honnouji Academy. Since I got Figma Ryuko, I wonder if I can pose her like this..

Oh gosh she's so badass! Do you have her in your collection? I hope you enjoy the photos! I have a little secret: I took shots of this under the table! LOL I just used a desk lamp covered with a plastic bag and a styrofoam as a reflector! Some cheap lighting trick, but I'm pretty happy with the results! See you on my next post! ^_^

Love, Pinkcheeks
