snow-mikus

Every year since 2010, Good Smile Company releases a Winter-themed Snow Miku nendoroid. 2013, however, was the first time fans designed and voted on the final product (that shiromuku is so cute). 2014 will give fans another opportunity to design a Miku. Straight from Mamitan’s blog:

The design for Snow Miku’s outfit must also include a magical staff, as no magical girl is complete without her trusty staff! We look forward to seeing everyone’s lovely design ideas!

However the outfit is not the only thing we’re looking for this time! We’re also looking for the design of Magical Girl Snow Miku’s pet! The pet should also have a snowy, crystal or Winter theme, and should be based on an animal found in Hokkaido. We hope to see many cute and creative pets for Snow Miku 2014!

So there you have it. You can read more about the rules and how to enter on Mamitan’s blog. Although I will mention here that the deadline for entries is 13 May 2013 at 16:00JST.

Here are the entry galleries for the outfit and pet designs:

fan built bot poll

As anyone who reads follows “Silverwolf’s Den” can tell, I’m a Transformers fan. That’s why I was excited to hear about Hasbro’s Fan Built Bot Poll. For the first time ever, Transformers fans have a chance to vote for the specifics of a new character who will receive an action figure and a comic in the near future. The categories include Faction (Autobot vs. Decepticon), Alernate Mode, Weapon, Color Scheme, and Personality. I’m personally voting for a Decepticon Construction vehicle who wields a Sword, is Red & Black, and has a Valiant persona. Voting is allowed once per day and is open until May 5th! You can vote and find out more here.

The character itself will be released in 2014 to honor the 30th anniversary of the Transformers franchise.

Another Monday, another edition of “Mecha Monday.” I apologize for the M.I.A. status of this column in recent weeks; however, it’s here once again. Today, I’ll be featuring an amazing stop motion video of some 3rd party Transformers toys. The “Might Hercules” series by TFC Toys are basically the Constructicons. In case you’re wondering where you can purchase these wonderful 3rd party Transformers, head on over to BigBadToyStore or TFSource. I also did a piece on the “Causality” Insecticons by Fansproject a while ago. Without further ado, here’s the stop motion video by Harris Loureiro.

Time for a figure preview! This lovely beauty is Velvet from the game Odin Sphere, which by the way, is a great game. She’s part of Yamato’s SIF EX line. She’s been released before, and I missed the opportunity to snag her when she was on sale for around 4k yen. I was kicking myself for not getting her, as she’s a great figure. Lucky me that Yamato decided to re-release her. Look forward to her this December. She’ll make a great Christmas present :) Gallery below. Continue reading »

Last week at E3, Atlus announced that it has plans to publish Code of Princess, an “action RPG brawler” in North America this fall. This is a very unique hybrid RPG, much like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a unique RPG rhythm game.

Developed by members of the team that produced Guardian Heroes for the Sega Saturn, Code of Princess features four playable characters in the game’s singleplayer mode, but also lets you play as enemies and even villagers in its multiplayer mode. You can either battle with your friends or against them via local online or Nintendo’s online network. Continue reading »

With the French Open Women’s Finals in the books (LIFE44 was very happy that Maria Sharapova won), I decided to make a short post about a pair of FAULT!! figures in the Skytube line by Alpha Max. What is FAULT!! you ask? FAULT!! is an eroge illustrated by the famous Tony Taka. Like the name suggests, one of the main elements of the eroge is tennis. So there’s the connection to the French Open :P Continue reading »
