IABWSS 4.3

Happy New Year!!



Am I the only one who doesn't love Alternator/Binaltechs? It was a long time since I played with one so when I dug Alt Tracks out of the closet to play around with him, it brought the trauma back. :p

Merry Xmas!

Merry Xmas/Hanukkah/whatever holiday you enjoy and have a happy New Year's!

IABWSS 4.2

IABWSS 4.1

The sequel to the Thanksgiving dream strip (3.2).

IABWSS 4.0.a

A few one-panel comics based on a couple photos I took. One of them was through a suggestion from a forum member.



Pomock commits grand theft chair.



The Spartans try a group hug with Partio.

Another day in the park

Some outdoor shots.

IABWSS 4.0

IABWSS 3.5

Not really happy with how this wound up and it's not because of that blue tint in the last panel. :p Thinking about it, it's probably because it doesn't have that visual punch that was present in the previous 2 strips. :/

More toy pics!

Random toy pics.

A day in the park

Random nature pics from the weekend.

IABWSS 3.4

Needless to say, it concludes with the next strip. :p

Megurine Luka and iPod Touch

Got some stuff lately. I post pics of the first few.


Nendo and figma Megurine Luka and a pink Hayabusa. Luka's figma articulation is rather hampered by her stiff skirt and lack of a hair joint. She looks nice though and she comes with a big fish which I'll post later. :D The Nendo is standard Nendo; not much as far as arm variety but it's got Tako-Luka which by itself is worth half the price of getting the set. The Hayabusa is part of series 2 minifigs. I'm only interested in this one and maybe the red one. I don't really have much of an interest in the other figures.


I also got a new 32GB iPod Touch 4 (left) to replace my old one (right), a 2nd gen 8GB. The lack of space has been an annoyance so the extra space was much needed. Another major factor was the improved performance as the 2nd gen was showing frequent hiccups with some apps under iOS4. Everything else is just gravy although it's very nice gravy. An unexpected bonus was that you can get a free version of a MobileMe account so that you can use the iPod Touch version of the "Find My iPhone" feature (only available with 4th gen Touch).

IABWSS 3.3

Yay, my first TF-only strip! I really didn't like how Prowl turned out especially with how his wings hampered his shoulder movement so the idea for this strip was born.

IABWSS 3.2

Someone suggested I do a strip based on the Thanksgiving pics so I gave it a try. With this posting, the strip is current! That's why I posted a bunch of it today. :P

IABWSS 3.1

Aftermath? This strip wound up much longer than I expected.

Special Ops Jazz

I have to say, Jazz turned out really nice. My nitpick with him is that his chest doesn't lock down but other than that, he's pretty damn good. I like how his speakers can be combined with his gun. Probably my favorite of the Generations car bots.

IABWSS 3 pt2

I didn't like out the effects look in this one. I had the turret charge up rather than fire in the 3rd panel because the laser would have blocked out the rookie.

Thanksgiving

I got a free turkey coupon from TXU so we decided to let my brother cook the turkey at his place for Thanksgiving lunch. He was kind enough to let me take some pictures of my Shinki there although the weird glances I get from his wife discouraged me from taking many pictures. The turkey came out really good. Juicy and not dry, probably one of the best Thanksgiving Turkeys I've ever had. Props to my bro for that. Anyways, here's some pictures of the toys and food.


First thing I thought when I saw my nephew's wooden stove set and that plastic pot was "Partio Stew!", LOL.


Apparently Pomock wanted to do the cooking this time.

IABWSS 3.0

I keep forgetting I need to post my comics here...

Busou Shinki MMS Type Hellhound Gabrine

Got light armor Gabrine.




My Gabrine has numerous faults including the infamous ankle problem which I fixed with the "soaking the foot" solution. Other problems include sloppy paint app, loose parts, bent connector peg, etc.

Animated Grimmy, BB Bumblebee, and miko clothes

I resisted for a long time but I finally broke down and got a TF Animated Grimlock. I have to say, I actually like him a bit better than MP Grimlock. (yeah yeah blasphemous, I know) So what do I like about A. Grimlock? I like how his backpack folds up much better than the old "head just hangs off the back" style. The way the tail hangs off the side of A. Grimlock's legs is more reminiscent of Grimlock than MP Grimlock's "tail tucked perfectly away" although I kinda like that too. Finally both his robot and alt mode exudes much more personality than the cold and straightforward MP Grimlock (especially robot mode). My only real gripe with Animated Grim is that his elbow part doesn't go all the way in like it's supposed to in robot mode (seems to be a common problem with the toy). Otherwise, I think he flat-out rocks and is a great bargain at the discounted price I got at Marshall's.

The Pomock and squirrel affair

I took the above apparently epic squirrel pic (according to everyone who've seen it) featuring Pomock earlier in the week. People were impressed although it didn't felt like it was that impressive to me so I'll tell what I did.

IABWSS 2.2

This completes my comic updates.

IABWSS appendix 2.1

A bit late but here's the first of my two Halloween strips from TFW2005. It's pretty big.

IABWSS ep 2

Some random pics

I've been slack in updating the blog since I usually post new stuff on the boards first and forget the rest. I got a black wing Fubuki and a MMS 3rd small nekkid body so here's pics as well as other stuff.


Fubuki


MMS 3rd small body with Merienda head. The clothes I got off a doll I got at a dollar store.


Partio riding a Tron Legacy Light Cycle.


I don't remember posting this here. Pomock on Halo Mongoose (VISR ver).

Transformers Marvel Crossovers Ghost Rider video review

First toy review. I don't really count the Drift video since it's just transformation video with no comments in the video itself.

IABWSS appendix 1.2

As mentioned, the strips from here on out are on deviant.

IABWSS appendix 1.1

Transformers Marvel Crossovers Ghost Rider review (kinda)

Just in time for Halloween, it's Transformers Ghost Rider.

Mega Blok Halo collection update

My Halo blind pack collection. The stealth camo was found at a TRU a few weeks ago. It was my first time seeing a blind pack and was the only one they had left at the time. The rest I got recently at a Walmart. I pretty much felt for the ones I wanted. :D

In the back of that pic, you can see the Mongoose. I also have the UNSC Turret, a Grunt Chopper, Gremlin, and winter camo Rocket Hog. That's gonna be pretty much it for my collection. I'd like to keep it compact since I got other stuff coming in. I haven't built them all yet so I'll post pics once they're up.

Webcomic and fail

It All Began With Shinki Stew!
1st ep?

Fishing and learning to do webcomics...

I'm going to open up with some fishing photos I took a couple days ago. No, I don't fish but apparently I have a figure that does. :p






As you can see, Eika's doing the fishing and Partio's eating whatever's caught. :p

Killer mermaid and crushed oppai mousepad

I finally opened up Busou Shinki Ianeira.




I was surprised by how much I like her. Not only does she got a good variety of weapons to throw around, she's got various ways of putting it all together as well. And then there's the fish tail which can either be combined with Ianeira for her mermaid form or combined with her weapons to form a fish mecha that she can hitch a ride on. Overall, I was rather impressed but I can also see why she can be overlooked by others considering her rather plain colors and "obasan"-style looks. ^^;

In other news, it's been there for a least a month or two but there's a huge dent in the cleavage part of my Nico Robin oppai mousepad. It still works, more or less, but it has become somewhat of an eyesore.


I'm going to replace her sooner or later either, most likely with the Kanu mousepad. It'll be interesting to see if Kanu will suffer the same oppai fate. :p
