Mahoromatic

I've just noticed that my posting have a pattern. On my first post I showed pics from my recent acquired figure, and my second post was pics from my older figure, and somehow unintentionaly I repeat those pattern until now. Maybe that's a good combination after all.

I planned posting my Mahoromatic figure (from Kotobukiya) right now since I've prepared her pics for 2 hours. I got her around 2004 so she's considered 'old'. I displayed her on my office desk also along with my Little Snow Fairy Sugar figures when I first got her. Now she's safely displayed on my study room cabinet.

She's also the love at the first sight. How can't we don't fall in love with a long haired chicks holding a gun and riding a red sports bike?

What makes her looks so stuning is the bike, a solid hard cold metal motorbike. The bike really make the whole package looks very realistic. I'm sure that if they made it from PVC they won't look this good.

What also amazed me is they made it like a real sports bike miniature, with rolling wheels and moveable steer. I especially tore it down to pieces to show all the parts (also a very good time to do some cleaning), the details are really amazing.

Since this is the 6th time I post pictures from my collection, I feel that I need to change a bit in the way I shoot them. What I really want is to shoot my figures in some nice background, not studio style, but real environment background. Like this figure for example, I really like to have a sunset beach background for her. I don't want to get some background pics from the net since usually we can't get a hi-res pics there (not for free anyway) and the beach around my city in don't look good.

So what I can do for the time being is just tinker around a bit. I think the one below looks vintage enough. Of course it will be perfect with a hangar backdrop.
