Bought a new toy to play with today, I guess you can call them building blocks but not in the usual sense. Basically they look like this.

A bunch of ball joints, connectors and beams. Put a few of the basic parts together and you can get something simple like this.

So you end up with something looking like a Stikfas figure without the personality since the parts are generic. But of course, because this is basically just LEGO for making figures. You can go wild and make weird things such as.

What the heck is this supposed to be?

I guess I wanted it to be a ship of some kind but guess that didn't work out too well. But my main creation is this little guy.

A chicken walker mech with an auto cannon for the right arm and a (out of focus) beam canon on it's left. And because the beam canon needs to be oversized and menacing.

It can open up in ATTACK MODE!!! God I need to get that sheet of white foam so I can take pictures with a cleaner backdrop...

Anyway? What is this thing that I bought?

They're called ASOBLOCK, and while they cost a lot I considered it a little birthday present for myself since I couldn't find a Rovio this time around...

How much it sucks that WZ has still not understood how to blow his nose. He caught a little bug going around and was waking up every 2 hours at night due to the clogged nose.

Vaporrub helps... a bit. Trying to suck the mucus out was a totally futile action, it's hard enough trying to get the temperature through his ear.

Finally!! The Silverlight Streaming Service is now ready and compatible with Silverlight 2.0 Release version! To celebrate.. let's have a quick deep zoom album…. hmmm.. maybe I should just throw images in without worrying about how well they look?

Hmmm.. maybe I should make one of the panoramas I made. So here they are.

Microsoft's PDC conference is happening right now and already a boatload of announcements have been made about upcoming technologies, platforms and overall cool shit coming from Microsoft.

WAAAAAY too many to mention here so check out the official site at http://www.microsoftpdc.com

Well.. I already mentioned I was getting it.

Hello RYU!!! The box is surprisingly errr… different from a normal Revoltech figure box. Small and more simplistic.

It seems like they deliberately made his parts non symmetrical for that err.. realistic look?

Posability is typical for a Revoltech figure, but I still hate the darn clicking noises!

Pulling this off was harder than expected, you'd think they would have made this THE pose to pull off? And.. what the heck is that? a spit ball? Use the SSF2X image lar!

The included stand is SHORT! I keep wondering if I accidentally dropped a piece of the stand somewhere.

Can't even lift off the ground!

Of course, certain poses don't need the stand lar.

So THAT'S what they mean by not to scale.

can't even lift off the ground with the default stand.

Better aerial chance after stealing Mikuru's stand. And the Figma legs looking weird as usual from this angle.

A nice touch on how they made the sleeve pivotable so that you can position the arms a bit better without the sleeves getting in the way. Now if only they did that with the pants as well.

And that should be that then.. no more figures to get for now. Oh crap…. why is this here?
