Saikano Chise

August 16th, 2005

This is Chise (ちせ) from the Saishuu Heiki Kanojo (最終兵器彼女) or in short Saikano series. This is one of my favorite anime. This figure was initially released as a cold cast from Kotobukiya in May 2001. I was not able to get it from Yahoo Auction Japan because the bidding price on it was always extremely high. So I was really happy when I saw the news that Kotobukiya will release Chise as a PVC figure.

Kotobukiya 1/8 Saikano Chise PVC (壽屋 1/8 最終兵器彼女ちせ). Original sculptor 白髭創. Released on August 2005 with a MSRP of ¥5,040.

Niagara escarpment – waterfalls in Hamilton

August 2nd, 2005

Spent a day in Hamilton and visited a few small water falls. The plan is to visit a few smaller waterfalls first and then make an attempt to reach the base of Tews Falls which I did not get to in my last visit. The smaller waterfalls that I’ve picked is Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls. They are relatively easy to get to. Which then gives me time to hike in the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area to get to the base of Tews Falls. Unfortunately the weather was dry for the past few weeks and there’s just simply not enough water for some good waterfall photos.

This is Tiffany Falls. Located off Wilson St E when you drive from Hamilton towards Ancaster.

Full Metal Panic? is one of my favorite anime. Unfortunately there was never a good figure from that series. Even this one that I finally got still left much to be desired.
