Cook up a pre-order of this Kirito Nendoroid
You know a series is on the popular side when even the male characters end up getting some figure attention. Hardly unexpected from Sword Art Online, protagonist Kirito is seen here reduced into chibi form by Good Smile and their tiny Nendoroids. While I may not be the most drawn to the line in general, there are definitely a few pluses here.
For one, my minor quibbles with Nendoroids' usual overly perky expressions is solved, thanks to Kirito possessing not one, but two less than cheery face options. Of course, Kirito's badass coat looks just as great in any form, even miniaturized, giving the whole thing a bit more serious an air than most of the little line. It wouldn't be a Nendoroid without accessories, either, and while this Kirito has no issue with revealing his Dual Blade skill, he's also equipped with a potion and a tasty ragout rabbit. Asuna not included, however, so if you want to cook up a meal you'll have to grab her alone! Kirito and his ready-to-cook companion will be available in May for around ¥2,640.

Tokyo Cycling Tour
I love cycling around Tokyo and every time I go out on my roadbike, I always thought to myself that it would be great if I could take you along too - well now I can with my GoPro HD Hero video camera which is attached to the phone mount that you can see in this post.
The GoPro lets me take full 1080p video footage. The video quality is great but the sound is not so which is why you cant hear any in the video below - its just wind ^^; You can also get along to YouTube to view the full HD version. Images in this post are screencaps from the video.
Music is from the album Mirai Music by vividblaze.
There is a poll embedded in this article.
And this is my steed - the GIOS Leggero.
And this is the GoPro - its the old version though which I picked up last year - only used it a few times. Will do up a review later.

Orchid Seed's Alleyne looks gorgeous even when unpainted
We caught a glimpse of Orchid Seed's upcoming Alleyne figure (NSFW) at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition, but I've been wanting more than just a glimpse. Luckily the folks at Akiba Hobby posted more shots of Alleyne from the expo, giving us a better look at the figure.
Normally I'm not too high on Queen's Blade or swimsuit figures, but this one's very appealing. There's enough detail to generate some visual interest. The best detail is that the swimsuit is made of leaves. In the unpainted form, she kind of reminds me of Poison Ivy. Don't think I've overlooked the fact that she's rocking some abs. This version of Alleyne is no kung fu waif.
The only thing that's a bit off, as far as I can tell, is her face. It looks too small for the head size - but maybe she just has really big hair. The rest of the figure looks great, though, and I can't wait to see it painted. There isn't any release info yet but I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Review > Dekker (Masters of the Universe Classics, Mattel)
These Millennium-based figures are always a bit tricky to review, because the characters they’re based often have had minimal character development and never had a toy. One or the other is generally required for me to establish enough of a connection to a figure to get excited about it – though if the design is [...]
