Happy Birthday Rin & Len!

Well, I might be a day late in some timezones, but for me it's only the morning of the 27th. December 27th marks Rin & Len Kagamine's first birthday. I figured I should do a birthday post for the Kagamine twins since I did one for Miku. So I present you a small gallery of pictures and a few videos. Happy Birthday Rin & Len! If you haven't seen them before you might be interested in my Figma Rin & Len posts, or perhaps the Figma Vocaloid2 group post. There's also the Crazy Kagamine Video, and Vocaloid - Kagamine Twins post for more pictures and videos.

Vocaloid2 Figma Group Shoot

Now that I've done my reviews for Rin Kagamine, Len Kagamine and Miku Hatsune Figmas (whose individual reviews can be found by clicking the links), I can get all three of them together for group pictures. At first I thought about doing a "figma theater" type of post along the lines of what DannyChoo does sometimes, but I didn't really have a story in mind, nor was the lighting very good. Oh yeah, you probably notice the new color scheme, I was trying for something more seasonal and this is how it turned out. Hope it's not too much on the eyes.







These three are an awesome addition to my Figma collection. I don't regret buying them in the least. They complete the Vocaloid2 Figma series so far, at least until the third (and yet unreleased or named) Vocaloid2 character is released, that is if they make a Figma of it. I would really like to see Meiko and Kaito made into Figmas.




Forgive me for not really talking about the pictures in the post, but I already reviewed all three figures so there's not much more to be said. I had fun messing with them and swapping heads a bit as you can see. I thought about doing a story to go with them but I procrastinated too much and just decided to ramble a bit instead.




Poor Len. Don't pick on girls when they're swapping clothes or you might become a victim too.






I'd like to thank everyone who's been reading my blog and for the new readers/viewers who have recently came here. I don't really celebrate my hit counter because it's rather innacurate, I already know a large number of hits are just me checking my page. Does anyone here know of a superior stat counter/hit counter that is free to use? Again I keep thinking about switching over to wordpress with my blog, perhaps I'll make a test blog over there and see how I like it. Also, if you aren't on my blogroll and would like to be, just let me know I'd be glad to add anyone that isn't there already. Some of you are there twice and I'll be fixing that soon, I got the Team Blue banners up-to-date as far as I know. I got more figure reviews on the way and I'll be sure to do more Figma group shots like this as well, expect a Lucky Star and Haruhi one this month. I also plan to review my first 3 figures that I only posted a couple pictures of but never did actual reviews.

Rin Kagamine Figma

Move over road roller, the Kagamine twins, by Max Factory have arrived! Rather than do them both in the same review I figured it would be better to put them in two seperate posts, then follow up with a Vocaloid group shoot soon after. I bought these from Hobby Search, my most favorite trusted figure retailer. First off is Rin Kagamine.





Rin comes with 10 hands, 2 faces and a microphone. The pictures speak for themselves for the most part. The quality of this figure is on par with Miku Hatsune, only the legs are even more flexible. I rate this figure 10/10. If you like Rin I can't suggest a better figure to buy. Then again this is coming from someone who enjoys articulated figures, not everyone has the same taste. One thing to add about her, is that her hands are EASY to remove and replace compared to all the other figmas I own. It's actually a good thing because her sleeves would normally get in the way of moving the hands. I could be a bit biased because I'm a big Vocaloid fan, but I love this figure.






You might notice some of my pictures have dust on them already. The place I live in is extremely dry and always full of dust, it's becoming a royal pain dealing with it. Anyways, you can see from the pictures the amount of detail put into her, right down to Electronic Voice System written on her left leg warmer. Overall, she was an excellent buy for the 2,261 Yen I paid (shipping not included).
