Alicia Florence Goodsmile Figure



I had hope it was ARIA Solidwork Collection but it wasn't, it's the Alicia Florence 1/8 figure from Goodsmile. Well, at least when compared to the the gashapon, I rather have the gashapon MIA instead of this Alicia figure. The figure is released early this month and it's out of stock at HLJ and in most places.

The Alicia Florence figure is around 18.5cm tall with a distinct pose. She came with ARIA sachou figure, around 5cm tall. The figure is quite delicate as it has 4 pieces of plastic to protect certain parts; the back hair, tip of hair, back of figure and the right heel. The left heel has two screw attached which is good. Reference: Promotion picture.




Some photos of Goodsmile 1/8 Alicia Florence Figure


Goodsmile 1/8 Alicia and BEAT 1/6 Alicia. The colour scheme for GS Alicia is a better and smooth. The toning of the hair looks fabulous in photos, looks golden.


Three of my favourite anime heroines; Alicia Florence from ARIA, Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess and Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed.

The duo Jyukai 樹海 has once again been selected as the singer for Ah! My Goddess Tatakau Tsubasa (ああっ女神さまっ闘う翼) OP and ED. The single will be on sale on the 28th November. The OP theme is 愛の星 (Star of Love) and the ED theme is ハナムケのメロディー (Farewell Melody). The single will be Jyukai 6th single since their debut.

1・愛の星(オープニングテーマ)
2・ハナムケのメロディー(エンディングテーマ)

5・ハナムケのメロディー(Instrumental)

The probability of getting this single is high because I really like the vocal and their albums have been wonderful. At the moment, it's available for pre-order at AJ. Play-asia and Yesasia have not picked it up yet.

Random Thoughts

Sorry for being away for so long, that's if you're still visiting the blog. :P I'm currently busy with assignment marking.

I have lost hope for my ARIA Solidwork collection, most likely MIA. I think I'll choose EMS next time for shipping my figures. My ARIA Alicia 1/8 figure and Suzuka guidebook have been shipped separately. Hope they will arrive safely.
Update: I really think it was divine intervention (secret). Just reached home and I received a post notice to collect a parcel. Is it the MIA parcel??? It's been 51 days .. could be... but I have another parcel sent 17 days ago. Could it be the second parcel from HLJ? The worst would be the replacement CD case from Yesasia, but that can be slipped into my mail box rather than require collection. Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow morning. Hope it's ARIA Solidwork collection!!!!!
Update2: It's not ARIA Solidwork collection. It's the 2nd order from HLJ, Alicia Florence 1/8 Goodsmile figure!!!!!!!! Am I suppose to be happy or sad???

Mood: Sad


Manga:
Hatsukoi Limited 4: Kei nominated by her class as the cheerleader. Kusuda voluntered. In the end, the girls have to wear the male school uniform. I think I'm not going to write any thought or comment for this series. Boring, the only thing keeps me reading is the illustration.
Tsubasa 170: Cool, Syaoran against Seishiro next chapter!
Tennis 362: Fuji against Tezuka imitation, will the well-known Genius be able to beat "Tezuka". Match score 5-4(Fuji).
Cross Game 101: A new noodle house under construction beside Koh's house and a new girl who looked like Wakaba appeared.

Last week:
Manga:
Hatsukoi Limited 3: Uemura has aspired to be a mangaka and Yuu agreed to help him. However, he met a lot of competition in drawing Yuu's attention.
Tsubasa 169: Kurogane received a mechanical arm. Yui paid a price with his blue eye magic that possess magic power. Now it became gold.
Cross Game 100: No, he wasn't able to and they lost the game. Aoba asked Ichiyo how would Wakaba react if she was there.
Air Gear 180: Kururu and Tool Toul To members activated the Pledge Regalia. Something suspicious about Hako again.
Tennis 361: We get to know that Tezuka lost to Fuji when they played during childhood. Fuji is in lead over Niou imitation. Graham approached Setsuna.
