Unboxing: Nendoroid 410 Gilgamesh

Hello and welcome back °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Seems like Gilgamesh took over this blog, because today I'm going to unbox the rereleased Nendoroid of Gilgamesh from the "Fate/..."-franchise!

I missed the first release, that's why I'm even more lucky about purchasing the figure, I just love Gil so much ♡✧。 (⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

I bought him at figuya.com:

https://figuya.com/en/products/nendoroid-410-gilgamesh-re-release-7413-en

"From the popular PC game 'Fate/stay night' comes a rerelease of the 'King of Heroes' dressed in his golden armor - Nendoroid Gilgamesh! He comes with both his standard grinning expression, as well as a shouting expression.

Special parts that allow you to display him with the 'Gate of Babylon' behind him are included, and the most powerful Noble Phantasm contained within the gate - Ea, the Sword of Rupture is included for him to wield. Display the King of Heroes in all sorts of epic poses from the series!"

The box comes in its classic design as usually.

And here he is with all his optional parts: one alternative face, two pairs of alternative arms, two alternative hands, a golden carafe, his Nobel Phantasm: sword Ea, a small version of the Gate of Babylon with four swords and two lances, a Nendoroid stand and a surrogate neck joint.

He comes with both, Japanese and English instructions.

The face plates include a standard grinning face and a shouting face (less insane than the figma Gilgamesh shouting face o((*^▽^*))o )

To change the arm parts you have to remove the shoulder amour parts. It looks so funny without them o(≧∇≦o)

He comes with three different arms: a pair of folded arms, a pair of straight arms and a pair of bent arms.

As mentioned, the sword Ea, his most powerful Noble Phantasm is also include. The spinning parts can't move, unlike the figma one. The alternativ sword holding hand is attached to it (*^▽^*)

It looks best with a straight arm.

And here he is with his golden carafe of wine and a small golden cup in his hand. (๑♡3♡๑)

Last but not least: the Gate of Babylon. 

It consists of the portals with can be attached at the stand and six weapons: a katana, a lance with a axe head, a golden sword, a silver sword and a silver broadsword.

That is everything for today. If you have any questions, just ask! ლζ*♡ε♡*ζლ

Unboxing: figma 300 Archer/Gilgamesh

Hello everyone and welcome back. o(*^▽^*)o

Today I'm going to unbox this impressive and special figma of Gilgamesh from the "Fate/..."-franchise (also known as "Archer").

He is my absolute favorite character in the "Fate/..."-universe, at least from what I've watched, especially in "Fate/Zero", my favorite story line. And yes, he is an overpowered bastard, but a hot overpowered bastard. ლζ*♡ε♡*ζლ

I bought him at yorokonde.de: http://www.yorokonde.de/eng/detail/index/sArticle/12587

"From the popular smartphone game 'Fate/Grand Order' comes

figma #300 - the oldest King of Heroes, Gilgamesh!

He comes with three expressions including a fearless grin,

a displeased expression as well as an angry shouting expression.

Alternate arm parts to display him with his arms folded,

the Chains of Heaven and the Sword of Rupture are also all included.

An alternate upper body and head part are included to recreate

his third ascension appearance from the game.

Recreate all sorts of scenes in your collection!"

http://special.goodsmile.info/figma300/en/

To be honest, I'm very surprised that Gil is the 300th figma, seems like he is much more popular than I thought. (*^^*)

Anyway 300 is a big milestone, so this figma is one of a kind. You can even see it at the packaging:

The front side opens up with magnets, on the inside you can the Gilgameshs famous Gate Of Babylon. ฅ(*°ω°*ฅ)

I'm such a sucker for fancy packaging ♥♥♥

And here he is, with everything that he comes with: two optional faces, a condescending face and a shouting face, his most powerful Nobel Phantasm, the sword Ea, a alternative part of arms, a alternative upper body part with alternative hair, the "Chains Of Heaven", alternative hands for both body parts, a stand and a figma storage bag.

He also comes with a Japanese and English instruction.

Here are the hand parts: one pair of fists, one pair of hands for holding things, one pair open ands and one pair with one open and one slightly closed hand. Each pair comes as amour and skin version.

The alternative part of arms is not that easy to attach so be careful while doing it! (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ

The face plates include: an standard face, a arrogant down looking face and a insane shouting face. 

As mentioned earlier, he also comes with his most recognizable Nobel Phantasm: sword Ea. The spinning parts can be moved, just like the one in the series. .ﾟ☆(ノё∀ё)ノ☆ﾟ.

And here we have his nude alternative body part, known from the mobile game "Fate/Grand Order" (which I haven't played yet, I hope there'll be an English version soon). Those nude figmas aren't that aesthetic as they supposed to be (remember the "Free!"-figmas?), but I have to say it doesn't look bad at all. The joints don't bother me anyway and I love it as a special extra for the 300 figma anniversary. (♡´❍`♡)*✧ ✰ ｡*

He also comes with the "Chains Of Heaven", which are made out of metal (aluminum?), to attach them easier. (*^▽^*)

By the way, his armor isn't just gigantic, but also extremely movable. Even his feet have joints!

That is everything for the unboxing. If you have any questions, just ask!

Manga & merch update Feb 2017

Hey, everyone and welcome back! ∩(︶▽︶)∩

Since I don't have much to post lately, I decided to make monthly "manga & merch" updates so I can at least write something. I buy new manga releases every month, artbooks, soundtrack CDs and DVDs as well. Almost every manga I buy is in German, but I research international titles and release dates for you. (*≧▽≦)

Here is everything I've got this month. My birthday was on February 11th, so I spent some of my birthday money.೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨

My highlight this month was definitely the "Yuri!!! On Ice" soundtrack " Oh! スケトラ!!! ユーリ!!! on ICE／オリジナル・スケートソングCOLLECTION" (Oh! Skater!!! Yuri!! On Ice orijinaru sukētosongu korekushon). It includes the 24 songs the characters skate to (plus Yurios track "Welcome To The Madness" which was snubbed from the last episode). It's so beautiful and relaxing, I love listen to it when I motoring. (●♡∀♡)

I also bought the "Hetalia" artbook - "Artesole". It's the second artbook from the sub series "Hetalia: Axis Powers", focusing on the characters Northern Italy, Germany and Japan. Even though the fandom is sick, the manga and anime series is super funny and I recommend you to watch or read it (and maybe not search for it on the internet... trust me...).(๑’Δ’๑)

Here are some illustrations. I've bought the original Japanese Version, it has almost no text so you can enjoy it, even if you don't speak Japanese! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

"Kuro" vol. 3, the last part of "Kuro", a very nice stroy about a little girl, who is living together with her monster cat

"Love Live!" vol. 2, the second issue from the original "Love live!" manga on which the popular anime based on

"Attack On Titan: Short Play", a comedy parody on Hajime Isayama's "Attack On Titan"

"Summer Wars" vol.2 & vol.3,the mangas from the popular movie "Summer Wars" (for my Yoshiyuki Sadamoto collection. (♡ε♡ ) )

Last but not least, I've got the official Puppycat plushie from "Bee and Puppycat" for my birthday. He is super soft and he can talk in "Puppycatish" if you push his right ear!  ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )

This is everything for today, if you have questions, just ask!
