Actar is Excited for AFA09

With the new announcement of the inclusion of the Tokyo Figure Show in AFA09, it seems that the unbelievably humongous event just got bigger. (^.^;)

Exams Are Starting…

So tomorrow, November 10th, my final exams shall commence and will end on December 3rd. After that, it will be the beginning of a ton of new things for both this blog and Actar’s Reviews.

I shall elaborate further after my exams, but I shall finally be able to write and post a number of Articles that I have been meaning to do for some time. As for Actar’s Reviews, I will not only try out other video editing programs, but I will also experiment with my reviewing style. Most importantly, I’ll be catching up with the current releases. Actar’s Reviews on overdrive!

Last but not least, despite Actar’s Reviews being on haitus, I shall be continuing to blog. The two upcoming posts you can look forward to are my experiences with EVA 2.0 and my coverage of AFA09.

Evangelion 2.0 Singapore Screening

I love this picture! Just look at their facial expressions. So bad ass.

Yup, the title does not lie. Singaporeans are going to be given a treat in the form of a screening of the motion picture epic: Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.

The Pumpkin Patch: A Lucky Star Halloween

Konata and Yutaka picking out the perfect pumpkin!

There isn’t really any form of celebration in Singapore on Halloween. However, that doesn’t stop me from celebrating my own way! (^o^)

Review: Isayama Yomi by Chara-Ani

Here’s my photoshoot of Chara-Ani’s take on the tragic heroine, Isayama Yomi from the series Ga-Rei Zero.

Review: Nia Teppelin by Uplark

Definitely the best figure of Nia, from Gurren Lagann, to be produced thus far that is surprisingly made by a relatively unknown figure company ‘uplark’.

Actar’s Acquisitions (October 09)

At long last, some semblance of what can be considered decent loot has gathered at my front door step over the past few days.

Ranka Lee Doll – Megahouse’s Limited Action Figure Collection

Happy Children’s Day to me! Even though I’m not a ‘children’ anymore… yeah… Anyways, it is indeed a Happy Children’s Day for me as my second musume arrives from the land of the rising sun! If you haven’t identified her yet, whe is none other than Ranka Lee, one of the two songstress(es?) of Macross Frontier, that sang alongside Sheryl Nome.

Today marks another special event as well. This is the first time I’m actually attempting to do a figure photoshoot with an SLR Camera, a Nikon D200 to be exact, and I hope the pictures turn out well! (^.^)

Negima! ~Another World~ OVA Episode 1

Oh my. Definitely the greatest Anime episode of Negima! to be created so far, the first episode of the new OVA created by SHAFT (Zetsubou Sensei, Bakemonogatari) covers the Journy to the Magical World arc of the manga, continuing from the previous OVA series: Ala Alba.

Dollfie? No. Doll? Yes!

I Actar, have officially become a father with the arrival of my first ever doll this past week. Being one who is easily influenced by peer pressure, I decided to join the doll loving crowd, in a way. Instead of becoming a Dollfie collector, which I probably never will due to the price, I have become a collector of 1/6 scale dolls!
