I was going to post in the cooler morning hours, but the cable was out which means I had no internet. WTF!!! That finally came back up and now I am posting this quickie!
My wife was going through the Borders magazines and found one called Giant Robot.I usually only check out Otaku USA, so I never saw this. This is an interesting mag about "Asian Culture and Beyond". I will be reading it and giving a review later on the magazine.
What she wanted to show me was that they had a Black Star Shooter figure for sale and thought I would be interested. Sometimes my wife can be soooo cool!
It seems that they are offering a Signed version of the 1/8 scale figure by Good Smile Company. I am hoping it is signed by the artist / designer, but I do not know as they do not actually say. I decided to go ahead and order one as it was $70 + shipping which seems to be cheaper than anywhere else. I will let you know when I get it in and who signed it. These are exclusive to Giant Robot only from what they say. I am hoping to have the figure itself signed, but am pretty sure it will be the box only :(
If interested in looking at her on their site, here is the link: Giant Robot Store
btw: only issue I have is that they will charge your card right away and not when it ships.
as a female...I find her COMPLETE lack of boobs a little creepy. This figure really emphasizes that.
ReplyDeleteinteresting, I got this one on order but I'm not sure if I'll cancel at the last minute or not since I already have the rock cannon version. I wonder who it's signed by as well, I would hope it'd be huke himself but who knows.
ReplyDelete@ lovelyduckie ~ I found that a little odd too, but it is nice to have a figure that does not place HEAVILY on the chest :)
ReplyDelete@Persocom ~ I am hoping that Huke signed it as well.
That is interesting. I wonder who signs it and where the signature is as well. I had huge internal debate between getting this one and the cannon version, but I opted for the cannon version in the end.
ReplyDeleteWait, signature on the PVC? Written words on my BRS' lovely skin? Do not want D:
ReplyDeleteBRS is really a spectacle of design, mm. So much so they could push a sword version and a rock cannon version... Not that I know how well the sword version did as an alternate.
I understand your pain, going without air conditioning back in Hong Kong was hell...
