Cleaning at home with Nendoroid Levi

Hello everyone! AnimeExpo is now over and I'm pretty sure some of you got their own Nendoroid Levi Cleaning Version at the Good Smile Company booth! Isn't he the most adorable Heichou ever???

Kyaaa~ Don't stare at me like that! *blush*

I can't get enough of him! He's my first male Nendoroid and as much as I would want to pair him with my girls, it just seems off! Well, if only I got Eren, I'd make them clean everything like crazy XD We all know that Levi is such a neat freak! So when I set up my old Japanese room last night, the moment he saw it, he got mad at how dirty it is and started cleaning right away!

He looks so cute when he's cleaning!

Yuck! It's a bug! Get off my windows, you filthy creature!

Levi seems to hate bugs!

Whew! That was close, now it's time for a refreshing drink!

Oh man, it's been a long day of cleaning!

Look! Heichou has a guest!

Kampai! :D

Now who wants to share donuts and drinks with Heichou? :D

Hope you enjoyed this new set of photos of Nendoroid Levi Cleaning Version! See you on my next post!

Love, Pinkcheeks

Konata Goes To the Beach

nendoroid

Hello everyone! How's the weather in your country? Ours has turned into rainy season just last month and I had barely enough time to go shoot outdoors. This new post was a set of long overdue photos from my trip 2 months ago and Kona Kona is already slightly mad at me for not showing this to the world haha.

I finally took Nendoroid Petit Izumi Konata to the beach last summer! She's my first ever Nendoroid Petit and I have taken her to some indoor photoshoots before, she was even featured at the Good Smile Company website! Our last beach trip happened last May in Calaguas Island, Camarines Norte and the beach there is so beautiful, the setting is absolutely perfect for little Kona-chan. :)

Calaguas Island is located in Daet, Camarines Norte and it has the most beautiful beachfront I've seen! I stayed on this island for two days and it's such a great getaway from all that hustles and bustles from the city world. I always feel so at peace whenever I travel and I'm happy that I can shoot toys whenever I can.

Picturesque Calaguas sunset.

Someone can't wait to go for a swim.

"Hey, it's my first beach, I should be THIS excited!" :3

"The water looks cold" LOL

"I should really take a swim...."

"The sea is calling me..."

I like this shot, the sea foam looks like it's gonna take Kona-chan away! :D

Look! It's Saber-chan! Kona-chan has a travel buddy!

I have a spare Nendoroid Petit Konata so I used that for Saber's body.

Look at these two having a tan in the sand. They look so cute!

As much as I wish for summer not to end, well, it's already over here so I have to bear the daily rains brought by this season. Maybe I should just go and travel somewhere again to catch summer! ;) Thanks for viewing and see you again on my next post!

Love, Pinkcheeks ;)

First Look: Nendoroid Levi Cleaning Version

nendoroid

Kyaaaa~ It's Levi Heichou!

Imagine my joy when the good guys at Good Smile Company sent me this figure! Thank you very, very much! *wipes tears* I was super thrilled when Mamitan of GSC contacted me personally, it's the happiest day of my hobby life to finally do figure photography from my favorite toy company! ^_^

The clean freak leader of the Special Operations Squad is now again a puny Nendoroid in this exclusive version, sold first at the upcoming Anime Expo 2014 in LA.

To everyone who's been a fan of the series (like I do!) knows Levi as the strongest soldier in the Survey Corps and prolly got their hands on the first Nendoroid release. However, fans of the series also requested a "cleaning version" of him and since GSC loves their fans so much, they listened and finally here he is!

My first observations on this Nendoroid is that his leg joints are completely different from the rest, or maybe since I do not have much Nendoroids this is the first one I've seen. It's similar to a Nendoroid Petit's head, allowing more movement to his legs. I find it a bit wobbly at first but it's very useful if you like to sit your Nendoroids everywhere, just like what I did on the first photo. :)

Also, Levi's box is really small compared to the other Nendoroids. It's such a space saver indeed LOL.

Okay so now with the photos! BTW, these photos were featured first on the Good Smile Company English's fanpage and I'm super happy that everyone loved it!

Levi comes with 2 faceplates, a disgruntled one and an angry version. He also comes with other accessories like a mop, broom and two handkerchiefs.

*sweeps*

"What are you staring at? Go back to cleaning!"

I love that pink mop. It's so me. :3

GSC also added a bonus cardboard backdrop similar to the castle walls as seen in the episode. Just take a vinyl tile or position it on a stone surface and you can finally recreate the feel that you're cleaning the castle with Levi! :D

The best part is, the window is a cut-out so you can make that famous scene in Nendoroid version!

Ahhh he's so cute!!! <3 p="">

Levi's pre-order will start right after Anime Expo, so that's great news to those who won't be able to come to the said event. I wish I had an Eren Nendoroid too, they'll be like my cleaning team who will take care of my chores at home. I can relate to Levi when it comes to cleanliness, I'm sort of a neat-freak myself. :P

Here's some bonus pictures from this set:

I didn't know Levi loves dogs LOL.

He probably has no idea what he's up to. LOL. But he's a super duper cute bunny!!!!

I hope you enjoyed the first look at this exclusive Nendoroid Levi Cleaning version! Special thanks again to Mamitan, who has also made a preview of this Nendoroid! :D I shall post more of him on my next blog! :D

When Nature Calls, Hachikuji Goes

bakemonogatari

It has been a really busy week lately and I haven't even get to update my page as much as I usually do. Good thing I got my sweet escape (finally!) last weekend and went up to the mountains again with my beloved travel buddy, Mayoi Hachikuji.

We went hiking in Mt. Maculot this time, it's a beautiful place to get close to nature's call. If this view doesn't take your breath away, I don't know what does!

Hachikuji enjoying the view on top of the Rockies. This is a composite photo, no tricks whatsoever.

Would you like to go hiking with me? :)

If I'm not at the beach, I usually go hiking up the mountains to see scenic views like this, and Mayoi gets to see it too of course! She's been so well traveled lately, I'm already compiling all her adventures to put in one blog post, I'm sure it's gonna be a lot so watch out for it! ;)

Mayoi Goes On A Nature Trip

figma

"Keep close to Nature's heart and break clear away once in a while. Climb a mountain, spend a week in the woods to wash to your spirit clean." - John Muir

I love to travel and my toys are getting the perks of seeing lush landscapes and scenic views like I do. It's my therapy, my sweet escape and it's something that I'll never get tired of doing to refresh myself for the stress of the daily grind in the city. Last weekend, I went hiking again with my travel buddy, Mayoi at the beautiful Tinipak River in Daraitan Rizal. It's toy photography + travel time for the both of us. It's her first time seeing a river and she seemed too happy about it!

Here she is enjoying a calm view of Tinipak River.

This shot was taken at the riverbank, I made sure that she won't fall off or else she'll be carried away by the current LOL. I won't have a travel buddy anymore when that happens. T_T

Me: "Don't get too close!"

Mayoi: "But I want to swim!"

Good thing that there are rocks around so I could make her stand without using anything, I just lodged her foot in between those rocks. :D

I hope you enjoyed this photoset! I'll be gone again this weekend for another trip, and I'm thinking of bringing someone along with Mayoi so she won't be lonely, so watch out for my next post! :D

Nendoroid Easter Sunday

nendoroid

Hello! Today's all about bunnies and Easter eggs, so I just did a shoot with my Nendoroids dressed up as Easter bunnies celebrating this wonderful holiday! I made the basket and the eggs using clay, you all know that's how I made my tiny props and I got the costume from a local store.
