Alter T-elos

Alright, so this is the first real post! I'm currently trying to figure out how I want to organize my posts and such, but I think I'm gonna go with a different topic for each day of the week and then try to post something related to that topic each week. So Thursdays have been designated as "Figure Day!".

First I gotta admit that I'm pretty new to the PVC figure scene. I only started recently collecting them after a loooooooooooong long time of trying to resist.. but I finally couldn't take it anymore, lol..

So for my first figure, I bring you.. T-elos from the Xenosaga series. Here's some quick info.

Model: T-elos (from Xenosaga)
Manufacturer: Alter
Scale: 1/8
Release: January 2008
Original Retail: 5800¥ / $50.40 USD


This figure was actually not on my original list of figures I wanted to get, but after my friend Soupy showed me it I was blown away. I had to find it off Ebay since it's been loooooong sold out.. and it's not a cheap figure ^^;; The shipping was super fast though.. and when the box arrived I was pretty excited!


Ohhh.. what lies underneath all that packaging? The guy did a great job packing it up for shipping.. why can't everybody on Ebay pack like this?


... it's T-elos! What a pleasant surprise!


The figure in the box! The box is a bit dirty but I can't really complain, lol.. at this point my hands are shaking in anticipation.. well.. not really.. but I was pretty excited =D


A look at the box from the side..


A close up of the text on the front of the box. Alter makes awesome figures. Their figures always look really high quality and are extremely well sculpted.


Opened the box! There's a strong smell of plastic.. smells great! Like new car smell.. (which I hate.. lol)


Fresh out of the box! After checking out all the "details" on the figure I decided to prop her up on my laptop and take a quick pic. As Danny Choo is fond of saying, she has nice "eyes".. lol..


T-elos outside up close! The detail on this model is really amazing =D


Picture of T-elos from the back. The hair is probably one of my favourite parts of the model.. it has this cool translucent colour and is sculpted extremely well.

Other side.


Decided to prop her up on the deck and take a picture. I think it turned out pretty well!


At this point I'm hoping there isn't a strong gust of wind all of a sudden that'll knock my T-elos 2 floors down ^^;; That would absolutely suck..


One more close up of T-elos ^^

All in all this was a great purchase. Worth every penny for sure!


I'm not quite sure what I want to talk about tomorrow yet. I have a ton of things on my list but I haven't quite decided yet so we'll see!

Peace!
