Alter’s Fate Testarossa Re-release
Alter’s 1/8 Fate Testarossa is getting a 2nd release in April. Hobby Stock has started taking preorders for it today.
The hawt selling point is of course the the powerful action pose, the sword and the fact that there are a lot of lolicons out there. I jest, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a fully-nude custom mod of this figure somewhere on 2ch before…
This ultra popular supreme PVC hit figurine is currently sold out everywhere except a few stores that are charging premium for it. Preorder this while you still can.
On a completely unrelated note, my birthday is on the 19th this month, just about a week off. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone bought this for me? Or maybe even this. Mmmm… And for absolutely no reason whatsoever, here’s the link to my Amazon wishlist. *hint hint* :)
P.S. I recently forced myself to watch a few episodes of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and I am totally stumped as to why it’s so popular. I rather watch Lovely Idols. Please advice.

You need to watch more into the show, the 1st few episodes are kinda slow.
Nanoha A’s is even better than the 1st season. I would easily rank it in my top 5 anime of all time.

The box this thing came in is huge. Its easily one of my favorite figures, the other one i got of her….cant recall the maker, the head acts like it wants to fall off and the cape just sets on her shoulders, i think its the GSC one. Also as said, great series, once you make it past the firt part of the first season.

The first season didn’t get remotely watchable until Fate was introduced. It improves markedly at that point, and ends reasonably well. A’s is what sets it apart, though.
Also, this is an awesome figure, well worth it even if unfamiliar with the character.

Watch Nanoha through the first season to get to the second. That’s where a lot of the awesomeness is at. Stick with it and you’ll see why! Then you’ll be just in time for Strikers.

Wha… what?! DM hasn’t watched Nanoha yet?! Holy cow. that’s soo… unexpected.

Damn.. I put off buyng this till I could really afford it and now it has to be re-releaed?
Also, the anime gets a lot better in A’s.

maybe ppl watch nanoha cos they are simply lolicons. just like me …another possibility is that they cant get enuff of cardcaptor sakura as they are quite near the same theme of 13 year-old girls fighting as mage..lol…or just simply: they wan to watch them do the transformation OMG!! but nanoha’s A the opening theme is nice. lol.i nv watch but i like that song.

i own this figure and the box is so freakin HUGE that HLJ had to send it EMS. I am shocked that u haven’t watched this show DM…As like many others have said it takes awhile before season1 gets good which is around episode 6 if i remember correctly. Season 2 is made of win and gold from beginning to start. I have never touched any loli like shows until this one and still won’t except this show as an exception.

You don’t even have to watch the first season to watch the second. I watched it first, was astonished by all the win that it was made of and when I started to watch its prequel, sure that it will be just great, I was disappointed : it was just boring from start to end. So you go watch the second season which has LOT of fights and a fantastic story and just drop the boring first season !
