It's been a while since I've posted been so very busy with work, and collecting and stuff. I decided it's time I updated this here piece.

My collection has amassed significantly over the past year, so many toy releases and announcements, and 2011 does not look like it's letting up. For now I'm gonna post a montage of pics of couple of toys I had been anticipating for a while.

S.H. Figuarts Futari Wa Pretty Cure Black, and Pretty Cure White.


Cure Black and Kamen Rider Black have a history of association


The VA for Cure Black appeared as a little girl in both Kamen Rider Black and Black RX tv shows.





While this isn't a review I do have to say that I'm slightly disappointed in the Figuarts releases. While I have heard that the PreCure Figuarts tend to be slightly less in quality than Kamen Rider ones, I was hoping Bandai would have gone all out with one of toei's flagship franchises. FutariWa Precure revitalized the magical girl genre bringing in a fairly huge following. They could have put a bit more effort into this release. Things that bother me are balance issues, tiny joints that feel they could break, and some blatant paint application issues.

Otherwise I love these toys, just because they are probably the best representation we'll get out of these characters that is in a small affordable toy line.

I also have a new camera, I just need to make a better light setup, so hopefully I'll post more often.
