Ah, springtime! Quite fitting for another sunny light-hearted photoshoot! This time, from another top-favorite romantic-comedy series, and one of the most-beloved love stories in anime history, Kare Kano<\/em> (or His & Her Circumstances<\/em>; here’s my review<\/a>), we introduce the unforgettable boy-and-girl 1\/8-scale “Arima & Yukino”<\/strong> (in resin), released by the now-defunct Tsukuda Hobby back in the late ’90s.<\/p>\n

In January 2007, by sheer luck in the Amazon Marketplace, I stumbled upon this rare figure! After several months of waiting for the right time, I finally used three Amazon gift certificates to reduce the price enough to get it! Clearly, the rarest piece of my collection!<\/p>\n

Also, we welcome back, from Fate Stay Night<\/em> and Fate Hollow Ataraxia<\/em>, the blonde-haired 1\/8-scale “Saber in Brown Dress”<\/strong> (in PVC), released by Alter. She’s the first-ever figure to arrive at my doorstep last year in May 2006! In fact, after checking all of my favorite figure sites plus eBay, she’s pretty rare herself, LOL!<\/p>\n

For this Canon<\/a> photoshoot, I saved 50 shots, then narrowed it down to 47 shots, 4 of which I used Photoshop to increase the lighting by 10 and contrast by 10. I tried to create some interaction between the blonde Saber and the black-haired Arima, along the lines of a random attraction. Did it work? Hehehe ^_^<\/p>\n

Otakurl it!<\/a><\/p>\n
