Durarara!! Ending Parody

You can guess from the title and picture that this will be about the ending song from Durarara!! using Figma in the animation. Well you guessed right... Unless you guessed that I'm making a Saber Lily Can-can dance video, that is. Which I'm not.

But first let's get some things out of the way. Durarara!! is a new anime that started airing in January. I've only started watching it in the middle of February because of all the parody that has been made out of the ending animation. The anime is quite good actually. Different individuals with different background stories all live in the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo and somehow their lives are all connected in one way or another. The ending song, Trust Me, is done by Yuya Yamashita and a lot of parodies have been made out of this video.

So after seeing so many parodies on YouTube and NicoNicoDouga, I decided to make one of my own. Since I can't draw to save my life I use what I have available; my Figma (and one Revoltech). I needed 15 of them which I do have, but I decided to use one Revoltech because I wanted to use Rei and the Figma isn't out yet. Also, the purpose of making this video is to make a promo video for The Melancholy of Saber Lily comics, lol. So the characters that are in this video is either in the comics or will be there eventually.

Yes, I keep all my Figmas in their original boxes... Which was quite a hassle for this project. Anyway, enough talk... I'll show you the video first.

The Melancholy of Saber Lililily

I started this last Thursday and it took a few hours just to get all the characters off the original background. Taking the pictures took a couple of hours as well. And then I wanted to time the pictures to the song as well. Quite a pain, I tell you. I added the pictures in the beginning instead of the scenery ones in the original video. I also had to change Rei's hands position so it fits properly so that it looks like she's holding Ryomou's legs.

I used this Maria-sama ga Miteru parody art as a basis for my sizing and template for the pictures. I changed the colour a little bit in my version to fit Nanoha and Fate's colours ^^

This is an unused picture for Cute. She's one of the new Figmas that I have to open for this project. She'll be in the comics soon. I have quite the plan for her... Mwahahaha! Oh the MEIKO was supposed to be a size reference, but I didn't really use the reference point, lol.

Nanoha gave me the most trouble! First... I couldn't find her at all! I searched high and low and I decided to give up and created a new roster for the video. It would've worked too, but I think a lot of people made me look for it and I finally found it. Then when I started to pose her, her shoulder started to stiffen up... Seriously, what a pain. I took off her arm to "massage" the shoulder joint.

Another thing I have to add is that even though I thought about making this video on my own, there was already a Durarara video made with Figmas. Ah well... I made it according to my storylines, lol. But anyway, to be fair to MrKammy, here is his version:

Anyway that's it for me... I'm really tired and this project really wiped me out! "Trust Me!"

Nekomimi Kanu Unchou ~Pink Ver.

Nyaa! Nekomimi mode desu! It's Ikki Tousen's fiercest warrior, Kanu Unchou, with a cat ears, cat paws and tail slapped on her along with a pink uniform! This was one of the figures I've been hunting for. I was looking for the blue uniform one, but when Toylet had their recent sale, I jumped the chance to own this cutie kitty even if she is pink. =^.^=

Griffon's figures is a hit and miss, but they do make a lot of Ikki Tousen figures and some of them are quite nice just for the gimmicks. At 50% off I didn't find any reason not to get this one. And if you haven't figure out from the first picture... this post is kinda NSFW...

Griffon 1/8 Kanu Unchou Nekomimi Version ~Pink

Of course the first thing you notice is her pantsu exposure... Not very subtle, but I'm more focused on the cute face and nekomimi, and maybe loose socks. Her pantsu is secondary. Really...

Face towards the camera... She's got that 'come hither' look.

I'm a little worried about the stray hair around her because when I put the mini Ryuubi neko it felt like it could snap some of the hair strands near her. The hair at the bottom is just flat so that it can support the figure.

Really love the socks... I don't have a really good setup with the lighting so the pantsu might be overexposed by the light... Bad choice of words? :P

I know Griffon doesn't have the best figures, but Kanu's waist bending looks gorgeous! Very good details.

Here are her neko paws. Let's pause for a moment and enjoy this view...

A close up of Chouhi, the small catgirl on Kanu's shoulder. After playing Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist, Chouhi has become one of my favourite Ikki Tousen girls along with Ryomou and Kanu. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of figures of Chouhi and the ones that exist aren't that great. I really love her Kansai accent in the game.

On another note... isn't it kinda creepy that the eyes are there but not really there. Should I go take a Gundam Marker and make a panel line Chouhi's eyes?

And here's a close up of chibi neko Ryuubi. She has those weird eyes too, but at least she's got a glasses thingy on.

She reminds me a lot of Puchiko from Digi Charat... so I took a picture of her with Puchiko. The resemblence is uncanny!

"What are you doing copying my looks, nyu?"

A close up of the... tail... Looks delish no? I was going to do a macro shot of the pantsu straight on, but I decided to go with the tail shot :P

The skirt can be removed, but then you'll lose the tail too... Not too mention the skirt was covering the bad torso and waist connection.

Shitapai! The under cleavage is a bit too much though... I mean it's so close that nipples should be visible! But this is definitely true to Kanu's art style.

A panchira of Chouhi! She's got loose socks too! Oh c'mon somebody please go make a good figure out of her! Don't you want my money???

The display base is laughable... this probably the only good quality thing about it. If I display her, I'll most likely do it without the base.

This is a nicer base from another nekomimi figure, Louise. I have her on display without it because I thought I could have some fun with this shag carpet lookalike ^_^ She looks pleasing on this base, yes?

Oh, but who's that coming up behind her?

Ah it's another nekomimi girl...

No, wait... that's no nekomimi!! That's... ALDORA! And she's ready to pounce on this little kitty!

That watermark placement seems so wrong, yes?

Kanu is wondering what's happening behind her...

Kanu: "Is it in yet?"

IF (I emphasize on the "if" here) anyone wants the above picture as a wallpaper, let me know and I'll resize it to your display XD And if you do use it as a wallpaper, I want a screenshot of it :P The above picture is at 1600x1200.

Full Moon! AWOOOO!

Chouhi: "What's she doing to you onee-chama, nya?"

I really love this angle... So what would you call this? Demon bestiality futanari fetish?

Aldra of Queen's Blade

MegaHouse Queen's Blade EX 1/8 Aldra
(2P Colour Ver.)

Well if I haven't offended anyone yet, I might just offend someone with this figure, lol. I don't know why I was so attracted to this figure of Aldra... I mean she's got that... thingy... there. At least that's what people think, but I thought it was unique and everything about her is just so great looking.

WARNING: This review include images not appropriate for children under 18 years old. Nor is it safe for viewing at work. If you are easily offended by such images then turn back now.



I've decided to get the 2P colour because the red version doesn't seem to match the figure. I did get the Queen's Blade book but I didn't mind the red in that book. Art and figure are different medium after all. I'll post about the book soon to follow up this figure.

I'm also glad she's actually in the Queen's Blade anime, even though she's mostly in cameo (from what I've seen so far). She's the current Queen in the storyline. Perhaps if not the first season then maybe in the second season in November. Looking at this figure I thought Rie Kugimiya could do her voice, but she's already the voice of Melona.

This is the packaging out of the box... I HAD to take a picture of this. This is probably the only inner plastic packaging of a female figure with an extra protective bubble on her crotch. I'm glad for that extra protection. I could somehow see how my last sentence can be misinterpreted...

She comes with an extra plastic packaging with an extra eyepatch thing, another head/face, extra arm and her "coattails". I forgotten to put on this coattail in the first picture... This coattail is made out of materials different than the rest of the figure. It almost feels like the same material they make plastic spoons/forks out of. Really odd.

By the way, her thingy is actually a moveable object. You can pose it anyway you want... Each sections is connected by a ball peg... I am not kidding you and yes, it does sound strange that you can move this thingy around!

The usual thing with figures is the hair seams. The hair seams are quite obvious because it looks like she's got so many hair styles in her head here. Not too mention you have to remove her front bangs to put on the extra face.

Her left hand is tied at her back apparently. She looks like she's well covered from the back, eh?

Umm... this pose was shown in the original promotion... I'm just imitating it...

The patch is removable and you can see her demonic right eye. The eye covering almost reminds me of Rider. Same with her hair, kinda.

Here she is with the opened eye patch. It's actually transparent plastic. So you can see through it if you shine a light on it. She's giving you the evil eye!

Here she is with her secondary face, which apparently makes her stare downwards when you put the head in the peg. What's she staring at, I wonder?

Here's that pose again... Anyone care to sit down on... with her?



Uhhh... I accidentally brushed my hand in front of her a bit too hard and it fell... So instead of panicking and thought I broke it (I did that anyway), I took a picture of it so you can see how IT moves.
Return of the mirror base! I'll explain later why I used the mirror base.






WARNING: The following pictures contain nudity when you click on them. I've censored them in the thumbnail just so I don't create too much fuss with Blogger.com. Do not click on them if you are under age or easily offended with such materials. And that includes the last two pictures.





As usual MegaHouse does not include an instruction how to cast her clothes off. A pet peeve Blowfish and I and a few other people have with their castoff figures. Thankfully her cast-off options aren't as bad. After the first time I figured out to remove only her left shoulder pad and not the whole arm. The straps on her top actually connects to this shoulder pad.

Her body looks very good, doesn't it? I really like her skin tone and her curves on her back and backside. The other head doesn't really allow her to show her back.

Her left hand still look Flike it's tied. I really like this angle, especially her hair and naked back.

Here's the first of the censored pictures. I've put it on an image hosting that allows this sort of thing. Click on it to see the uncensored picture. The curves seem to be more emphasized without her clothes, if you want to call what she had on "clothes".

Now that her top is off... where do you want to sit?


Yep here she is shocked that her thingy drooped... It's pointing straight down. Perhaps she would like to keep that infamous blue pill on her?

Here are all the pieces of her including the base. I noticed the base reflected a little... but not enough and this is a really boring base.

Thus the mirror base returns... It works wonder for this figure ^^;

I've always like this angle where you can't see her face except the one on the mirror base.


And uhh... I had this silly idea I wanted to do with another figure. I wasn't sure what figure I could use for a yuri scene at first, but I think you'll agree that this figure was the best choice (at least from what I have).


Surprise sex? Their faces are appropriate for it. ^^;

Not to worry... She's nowhere near Shigure's crotch. Not yet at least...

I have a feeling I may be one of the only bloggers to review this figure... Oh well. I hope that gives you some idea what Aldra is about and perhaps even tempt you to get one. It's still in stock at Hobby Search XD
