[KOTOBUKIYA] YAM-008-2 Altairlion 1/144

December 15, 2009

“Figure out the enemy’s path, and intercept!”

Ibis Douglas, Super Robot Taisen Original Generations 2

This here be a Kotobukiya 1/144 Super Robot Taisen kit. If you don’t know this, I don’t blame you, because Bandai is the representative when it comes to kit-making. What Bandai doesn’t produce however, other companies like Kotobukiya cover.

For your information, the kit is about 3/4 the height of a 1/100 Gunpla, the midway point between a 1/100 and a 1/144 Bandai mobile suit kit. If this were 1/100, the Altairlion would tower over all the other kits I have.

Alas, Kotobukiya. My poor fingers!

Hi, welcome to Ibis' Motivational Speech Session. Please take a seat over there, there or anywhere you like.

Armamants:

90mm GG Cannon x2

Shoulder-mounted Railguns x2

CTM-02 Spigeaul Missiles (not included)

CTM-07 Prominence Missiles (not included)

Sonic Blades

G-Accel Driver x2

Special Move: Maneuver GRaMXs

Summary:

The Altairlion is an upgraded two-seater model belonging to the “Lion” series of Armored Modules developed by the Divine Crusaders during the events of the game Super Robot Taisen Alpha 2. An upgrade of its lesser cousin the Astelion AX, the Altairlion boasts improved performance as would any upper-tier machine. Much like several Lion-series A.M.s before it, the Altairlion is fully flight-capable, amazingly fast for its size, has a secondary mode to transofrm into, and carries all of its armaments onboard; it can be equipped with extra weapons, but what it already has is in no way lacking. Like the Astelion before it, the Altairlion has a combat maneuver move programmed into its OS that takes advantage of its weapons systems; in this case, Maneuver GRaMXs, where the machine darts around the battlefield pummelling the opponent with an assortment of the guns and missiles the Altairlion carries. Like all complicated movements however, activating it and mastering it are different matters altogether, and on its first activation in a test it resulted in a casuality, much to Ibis’ dismay, who swore off stepping into the cockpit until much, much later in the future.

Just before I start, I would like to mention that the Altairlion kit was made sometime before. Not sure when, but if my guesses are right it would be pre-2009… probably about during 2006-2008, I wager.

That said, “ouch, mai poooour fingerz.”

One, and two, and three, and four, and two, and two, and three...

The Altairlion is a fickle kit. I say this with absolute seriousness. I cannot say for anyone else’s version of their Altairlion, but mine has as many loose joints as there are overly-tight joints. About a 50-50 ratio.

Firstly, the upper body. The Altairlion, MY Altairlion has loose joints at the elbow and the elbow guard. One look and you can guess; the number of parts there means that something called “stability” is going to suffer; unlike Bandai who would probably mold the elbow guard (used during transformation) in one whole piece and tell you to color it yourself, Kotobukiya delivers it in a few pieces and all in their respective colors. While I appreciate the detail, it also means that the tightness of the joint will suffer since the more number of parts something is made out of, the less stable it will be.

The upper arm joints are much stiffer though. It plays havoc when trying to do a pose, but it’s a blessing in disguise when the Altairlion is in Armored Module mode.

Coming up in the new Super Robot Wars Z*2[Zwei

Yeah, a mentally-challenged, an emotionally-challenged, and one is just plain dense. Yeeeeeeeeeah….

And now the lower body. The legs are mostly ok, except for the feet, where the joints are so freakin’ tight, I can’t join them close. I’ve tried every trick in the book that doesn’t involve plastic-crushing pressure, and it fits in about half. So halfway through it is. The rotation joints for the pelvic thrusters are also tighter than heck; once again, it’s another halfway joint. It would be so bad if not for the fact that the pieces involved are so small, it’s impossible to press them together.

SUPER INAZUMA KICK!

Of course, loose joints does not mean that the model kit is as poseable as a wooden staff. The Altairlion is pretty flexible actually, more around the leg joints since there’s no skirt armor to obstruct leg movement. The arm joint are being blocked by the model’s G-Accel Driver equipment, however, so expect a bit less in that regard. If there is one overall complain, it’s that the head aread has very little movement space up and down, but that’s just me.

HELLO EVERYONE! I AM ZE SENTRY~

With the problems of loose/tight joints out of the way, I can finally get to the details on the kit itself.

Thanks to Kotobukiya replicating each section down to its rightful color, there’s hardly any coloring to be done. About 50% of the colors you see on the kit are added in after some thought; I just think that the normal Altairlion could do with some color diversity.

The head crest is Koto-painted though. Now if only we could convince Bandai to do the same with Gundam face vents.

I demand a power gem be installed in my forehead! ALTAIR BEAM!

But I like Spiral Knuckle better. :(

Anyways, there’s very little to talk about with the Altairlion. It handles well in normal mode bar the crazy joints; if you don’t go and mess with them everyday, there should be no lasting problem to display functions. And detail-wise, the Altairlion without extras already has a normal Bandai kit beat by a distance.

Maybe I should talk a bit more about the transformation. Although it’s larger than most 1/144 Bandai kits, it’s still not large enough to accomodate its own transformation system. And with the way Kotobukiya has a different part in different colors, it just isn’t worth the time to actually design everything so that it has color accuracy and can still transform (not to mention it’ll be as lasting as… say, thin plastic put under a clamp).

So what to do? Parts-swapping saves the day!

Fox 2! Fox 2!

In Armored Module mode, the Altairlion displays additional thrusters at the back of its legs, its head retracts partially leaving only the head fin, and its hands are kept compact. With the lack of space on the kit, you’ll have to remove the hands, put the thrusters on after transforming, and bend the arms at a certain angle to hide the fact that the Altairlion is now finger-less. The head is removed entirely, with the top section (the one with the green area) and a new neck section put together to create the effect that the Altairlion’s head just retracted. Not bad actually.

Spare bits and nutz.

Some hand types and the parts for head-swapping and positioning the Altairlion on the stand in A.M. mode.

Something about the hands; in all the picture taken I’ve used the fist type, for a simple reason; the other hands feature in three pieces, with the thumb being one of them. And the thumb doesn’t fit.

Yes, you saw that right. One twitch will send a purple spiraling out of control and hopefully somewhere where I can pick it up easily. It’s just that fragile. Another example of loose joints.

We're not taking off! Sir!

Wing parts.

The Altairlion isn’t very good at standing up, however. Firstly, the problem, obviously, lies with the two G-Accel Driver parts located between the body and the arm. They’re long enough that if you put them perpendicular to the ground, the’ll be longer than the total body height of the Altairlion. And secondly, there just isn’t a part that allows the Altairlion to be secured to the stadn without going into A.M. mode. In A.M. mode you get a bit that you can stick the Altairlion on and make it seem like its turning, but not in normal form. The good thing is if it falls backwards the Altairlion has its two Accel pieces for support… unless you put the kit just right on the edge of the table.

Railguns, fire!

I assume this are the railguns on the Altairlion, with the missile launchers supposedly somewhere under the elbow guards. I wonder why no one lists the railguns on the specs pages… Or the railguns are actually named “Sonic Blade” rofl.

DOUBLE ROLLING BOMBER!

That’s about it for the Altairlion, to be honest. The lack of external stuff means that the Altairlion is pretty much at its max. Unlike Original Generations and the Astelion AX, the fact that the Altairlion in in a standard Super Robot Wars game means that equipping of weapons is not likely. So no Burst Railgun and Assault Blade.

The transformation of the Altairlion itself is pretty basic. The legs fold forward and the arms in front and at an angle. Remove or insert parts as se fit. The most complicated part is probably the hip, which bends backwards so that you can put in the spare stuff to position it on the stand. I would say that it’s a pretty fragile transformation, but this isn’t Macross and even on the torso the joints are tight.

The Verdict:

The Altairlion is a bit lackluster when you compare it with what Bandai usually offers actually. Even if I assume that the overall joint performance was restricted to my kit being one of those bad factory work that escapes detection once in a while, comparing kits mde about the same time, most Bandai kits, in fact most mecha kits, even Kotobukiya’s other SRW kits, would have the Altairlion outclassed in terms of quality. One can attribute this to the fact that the Altairlion wasn’t designed to carry a shitload of guns and swords from the start. It wouldn’t be so important, however, until you realize that it falls behind not because it has no handheld weapons, but the kit doesn’t detail enough about its onboard weapons, thanks to the restriction that is its size. A real shame really as this restricts the kit’s value to serious Altairlion fans. I hope that Kotobukiya’s new and recent releases (Break Blade’s Dirfinge, woot!) will be, and hopefully should be much better than this.

Everytime you typo, a kitten gets huffed.

December 1, 2009

Alex: It’s pretty sad, if you think about it. These kids memorize the days when the resupply truck arrives and know the name and looks of my T.I.T.A.N. and even what caliber round it uses in its C.I.W.S., while kids back home memorize the names of the latest T.V. series and know the looks of the newest actor.

Sharyl: Well, if life is so hard, why not move to one of the border refugee or resettlement camps near the coast? Why stay in the middle of this heat-blasted, baked-dry, so-called “cradle of humanity” and eke out a meagre living, always in constant fear of bandits and other wasteland scourges?

Alex: Once, I asked the same question to a young man. He even went to school for a number of years before the entire thing degenerated into a mindless war of attrition. His replay was somewhere along the lines of “This is my country. Nuclear bomb be damned, I will rebuild it with my own hands.”

Sharyl: They can hardly afford to be sentimental. There is literally nothing left here except for a crater 4 kilometers wide at its center.

Alex: And who did it? Who left the problem to fester for nearly a century? There is a reason we’re called the “New” United Nations Forces. We’re at as much fault as the dictators and gangster mobs roaming the land. Even now the line between us and the Unity World Council is only a thin line drawn on paper.

[ROBOT魂] Nirvash type TheEND

November 26, 2009

“Did you know? The world is full of hate and there isn’t any reason for it?

Anemone, Eureka 7 TV Series

From the Robot Spirits Side [LFO] line, I bring you the Nirvash type TheEND!

Then again it’s not very surprising. Side [LFO] only has the Nirvash TheEND and typeZERO and the Terminus B303 Devilfish. Not much to go on.

Photobucket

Hi, welcome to Guns 'n Anemone, would you like some blank paper with that?

Armaments:

Rocket Boosted/Close-Combat Grappling Claw x2

Solid-Form Assault Blade x2

Multi-Shot Homing Laser Turret x3 (Not included)

“Vascud Crisis” firing mechanism x2

Multi-Purpose Ski-type Ref Board x1 (x2)

Summary:

The Nirvash type TheEND is a one-of-a-kind Light Finding Operation unit from the Eureka 7 television series. Intended as the ultimate opposite of the Nirvash typeZERO, the TheEND is armed to the proverbial teeth and  features cutting-edge weapons not found on other KLFs/LFOs, including the firing mechanism for the “Vascud Crisis” energy weapon, the most powerful seen in the series, and the ability to produce the Seven Swell effect, in direct contrast to the typeZERO’s Vahalla Swell. Possessing superior maneuverability and combat capability that is matched only by the Nirvash typeZERO spec2 and the Terminus B303 Devilfish, its speed and dedicated close-combat weapons gives it an edge at melee distance and its rocket-boosted claws allow the TheEND to pull in opponents instead of having to go to them. Its multitude of homing lasers make the TheEND a powerful bombardment/interdiction unit, and nigh unapproachable. Its pilot is one Anemone, an emotionally unstable girl whose sole function could be described as being the TheEND’s pilot, though no opinion of hers was given in that matter. Bloodthirsty, headstrong and unrelenting, Anemone rarely admits defeat and in every sortie with the TheEND, she has made it a constant to maximize the performance of this hunter-killer machine, particularly against the Nirvash typeZERO.

Photobucket

My Nirvash lies over the ocean, my Nirvash lies over the sea...

First words out of my mind after unwrapping it? “Good thing this thing is worth its price.” Because the TheEND costs a hefty S$80.oo. However, what it has in price is paid for by its extremely poseable body and close-to-accurate color scheme. Basically, we’re talking about a reeeeeeally expensive toy, details and gimmicks ahoy.

Photobucket

Brains 'n hearts in a hump

The moment you pop open the cockpit hatch of the Nirvash, you’ll see why its so expensive. The TheEND follows its anime design quite closely, and each detail of the cockpit is replicated here. Well, short of Anemone hanging out of that bulb, I’ll-cut-ya eyes darting everywhere. Ugh.

Photobucket

Not an escape pod, people.

These are the back details of the TheEND. Details, details, more details, and they even so kindly made the thrusters moveable, though they didn’t give any extra plastic pieces to double as propellent exhaust.

Photobucket

No! Not the ice cream truck!

The TheEND’s main weapon is the Vascud Crisis, a powerful energy blast that equals the Positron Laser Cannon. As is seen in the anime, the firing mechanism on the chest has some hijinks to go through before the blast actually occurs. You get to replicate the hijink through parts swapping, and though it looks difficult, the replacing is done surprisingly easily.

Photobucket

Ski holiday package!

Another noticeable feature is the ability for the TheEND’s ref board to split into skis. This greatly increases its maneuverability, but does nothing else. In the anime the Nirvash uses sliders on its ski to move its feet into the position you see in the picture, but asking for that even in the Robot Spirits line would be too much. There are multiple peg holes on the ref board for the TheEND’s feet peg however, so it isn’t much of a problem.

This is also the only way for the TheEND to stand reliably without support.

Photobucket

Ahh, fresh meat!

Details are not the only part of it that makes it so expensive. The TheEND comes with quite a fair bit of extra bitz ‘n piecez. Just before was the Vascud Crisis; shown here are covered metal wires that allow the TheEND to fire its claws out in grappling fashion. The wire is generally stiff enough, though even a small force is enough to get it to bend.

The blades for the claws themselves can be flipped back into “keep” position. The lower claws can only be deployed when on the wire (as per canon), while the upper blades are what the TheEND usually uses in combat.

Photobucket

Going fishing, the Anemone way.

Moar of those bitz ‘n piecez. This here is a sword, or an extremely long knife. Can’t exactly remember which episode the TheEND unsheathed one, but I’m pretty sure its in there somewhere because the TheEND doesn’t appear in the movie. Well, not looking like this anyway.

Photobucket

...and like last year the TheEND is first down the snow mountain, with the typeZERO a close second...

You get two blades. I’m sure that plenty of people can think of  a ton of ninja poses to do with two blades and the TheEND.

Photobucket

Unfortunately, there is only one surf-worthy beach in Eureka 7, and it happens to be under the Scub Coral.

I cannot stress enough, however, that advanced though the Robot Spirits line may be, a Tamashii toy is not something you buy off the local toy shop and give to your kid cousin to fling across the room while giggling madly. It comes pre-assembled and ready to play with, but put it in impossible poses, and you might just snap something.

Still, a Robot Spirits model carries incredible poseability. What you see above is only a fraction of how much the TheEND can bend.

Photobucket

Drop Turn... erm, what was it called again... you know what, screw this, ROLLING BOMBER!

This is perhaps halfway of how much the TheEND can bend. It is not advised that you constantly change it into this pose and beyond however, unless you want loose joints 3 months into ownership.

Speaking of loose joints, the TheEND has several. Its waist joint is one, followed by potential ones in its shoulder joints (mine are wobbly in the right shoulder). They shouldn’t impact your overall enjoyment of the TheEND, but just take note of ‘em.

Photobucket

Behold the secret TheEND ninja art... BLAZING SURF!

Some other points that you might want to take into consideration when buying:

- The “red” parts of the TheEND are actually some kind of maroon/purple hybrid.

- The TheEND has no vehicle form unlike typeZERO. Actually I’m not sure if Tamashii typeZERO even has a vehicle form.

- The wheels on its feet do not turn.

- You is no likey soft plastic-type quality.

- There seems to be no presence of the three multi-shot laser turrets Anemone is so find of spamming.

- You are a detail-ist and can’t stand any mecha design that isn’t Katoki-based.

The Verdict:

The TheEND is, at first glance, seemingly a very slick, very awesome-looking machine. It’s a nice jet black, its body details are aplenty, and it comes with plenty of gimmicks. However, one might be disappointed to find out that there is no laser turret, and this one point alone is enough to bring down the rating of the TheEND by a few notches.

Another point to note is the plastic type. Those of you used to Gunpla might be horrified to find that just 5 minutes of handling will give the plastic surface of the TheEND a “blurred” feel from your fingerprints. The plastic isn’t hard either; its soft, and probably prone to notches.

To finish with an uppercut, the TheEND cannot stand on its own because of its back-heavy design. Normally it might not be an issue, but the stand for Robot Spirits is sold independant of the figure… in the case of the TheEND.

And finally, the price. S$ 80 seems to be too much for a kit lacking 2 of its most important details; even Side [KMF] Robot Spirits cost less with more.

So why the TheEND? Well, to put it simply, it’s its posebility. Frankly I can’t imagine an LFO as a model kit (I remember seeing one of a Terminus model a while back) since the incredible dexterity afforded by the Robot Spirits line is, at best, hard to replicate with the hard-but-brittle plastic used in model kits. Also, aside from the aforementioned two points, the TheEND has all of its details reproduced here; getting most of the poses and movements in the anime should be no problem for the TheEND.

I’ll estimate the worth by now to be about S$ 50 to S$ 65, to put it nicely.

It’s impossible to justify the S$ 80 price tag here, but I can close the price gap to end up with about S$ 70 or S$ 75…

Photobucket

Mokyuu! Mokyuu~ mokyuu~

…With the power of MOKYUU~!

Yep, one free Baby TheEND from the Eureka 7 movie for you to melt all over the floor. Just that he’s not as soft as in the movie, and you get no nude figurine of Anemone and Dominic to fit in B.TheEND’s arms.

Okay, maybe it wasn’t such a good justification. But taking the TheEND into consideration, if you’re a die-hard fan of the TheEND, you should get it for its details, poseability, playabilty, and such. If you’re a causal fan with spare cash, why not get it and give it a try? That’s about how good it is.

AFA 2009

November 23, 2009

Aphar: Raden! Don’t let her escape into the crowd!

Falko: Lieutenant Mendez! What are you doing here? I thought you were on duty on board the Silverlight-

Aphar: FORGET ABOUT ME, GET THAT WOMAN, SHE’S FROM THE LIBERATION ARMY!

Maen: Tch, that was a fast information network. Well, so long, Falko. Remember what I said.

Falko: What? Hey, hold on, I still have plenty of things I want to ask you-Hngh! How the hell does she run that fast… and I can’t get through… this… enormous… crowd… of… people! OW! My toe, my toe, my toe!

Project T.I.T.A.N.: OPERATION OVERLAND ~ Espionage [Part 1]


And… whew. AFA2009 is now over. Well, technically not as I write this, but it is over for me anyway, since I’m not going on the second day.

First impression I got was that there were less figures from other companies. Aside from what was selling last year, this year was Bandai and thier Tamashii Nation, the Tokyo Figure Show by Good Smile and Dannychoo.com and other shops selling figures.

Was originally gonna go with a large crowd of people on my side, but in the end it was just Ebon Stronghold and affiliates.

Nevertheless, it was an eye-opener. Lots of new stuff and experiences that can only truly fulfill the definition of “Otaku”, not present last year. Also, an insight into new anime and animation processes. It’s a pity I forgot to charge the camera battery, and was thus forced to ration my shots. Next time though, I’ll go in the morning, because going in the afternoon seems to have dampened my spirits. Let’s start.

Tamashii Nations was a bit of a misnomer in my opinion. Well, not a very huge misnomer, but there were custom model kits up there, so it sorta counts, yes?

Sweet, sweet, Zaku. Always a fan favorite… well, I think it’s a Zaku…

Zeta Gundam striking girly manly poses.

Good fingers with that Destroy.

Astraea Bushido. Hot damn that is one smokin’ Astraea.

A “Limited Edition” Odaiba x Ver. Ka RX-78-2.

SIEG ZEON~!

ROFL pre-Apsalus I.

Now we come to the real Tamashii part. Unfortunately I was swept up in the man-wave and thus took very few photos. I also didn’t feel the need to take as much, seeing that in recent times Ngee Khiong and related sites have been bringing us Robot Tamashii news faster that you can say Robot, and have better picture quality than photos of reflective glass.

Shinkirou doing what it does best and Nirvash typeZERO enjoying an invisible trapar wave.

Some popular/recent Tamashii releases. Sooooooooper articulated Unicorn Gundaaaamu~

Tamashii Nations stuff. Much Mazinger, Getter Robo, and pre-GaoGaiGar super robot stuff.

Hm, I wish there was a GaoFighGar Robot Tamashii. (:3c

Unfortunately I was just walking around admiring the sights too much to take photos of other Tamashii releases and Bandai stuff. As expected one could spot Figuarts items there, and allocated a small section all by themselves were Kamen Rider items. Didn’t really pay attention to them, since I was busy keeping track of my cousin and his friends to make sure we didn’t look sight of each other. I do know one of them who’s a big fan of Kamen Rider though.

Talking about Kamen Rider brings to mind Decade, and Decade brings to mind SRW. ROFL SRW Decade. (:3c

Figures, Model Kits, ran out of pair-words to say!

The newest Queen’s Blade work, I wager. Cute loli-girl and moe Meido with rocket punch, original design courtesy of Koume Keito-sensei. His art is teh awesome.

Lots and lots of Queen’s Blade figures. I wonder if there were figures of the blacksmith ever made LOL.

Another cute one from the Queen’s Blade series. HNGGGGG SO MOE~

And this is just a random shot, but I thought I saw this exact view back at the Gundam 30th Anniversary. I originally planned to get the Regen Duel, but after seeing the Vent Savior and hearing about how the Astray Mirage Frame is a bastardized Astray (Fifth) Frame, I think I’ll keep my wits and monies around my side for a while longer and see how long will Bandai push their Kamen Astray line. (:3c

Alot of figures on sale. That Moribito Type-II to the bottom left is even more expensive than the Side [LFO] I got. I mean, I know it’s a rare ‘un, but S$98? Oh no. Oh no no no. And this, on top of figures of Kasumi Yashiro and Meiya Mitsurugi from Muv-Luv Alternative and there were… *choke*

Am I cursed, or can I never get a clear, non-blurry shot of her?

Grue attack!

Now I bring you Good Smile x Danny Choo.

IdolM@ster, ne~? 1 of 2 one-off tax payments to Gen. Raisha.

The only reason why there are other Nendoroids in it is because I couldn’t get close enough to snap a good Re Mie shot. I want a Re Mie Nendo so bad I can almost smell the plastic! And why Re Mie of all things, you ask? BECAUSE AT LEAST SHE HAS CHICKEN!

Drossel (with StealthDros II equipped ROFL) in the hot seat, Fate/Stay Night to the left and the Lucky Star cast (Kagamiku almost had me fooled from that angle. Almost.).

Other less mainstream but by no means less in quality figures. The name of that male figurine keeps hanging just out of reach of my mind…

A mess-up, LOL. I wanted to take a picture of the Nanoha cast but got the wrong angle. Poof! Battery went dead-ed. T_T

Chronologically, this is the last photo I took.

Moar IdolM@ster! Tax payment 2 of 2.

Lelouch and Suzaku plotting, albeit in futility, to get at Meiya Mitsurugi for looking more awesome than both of them combined.

Mirai Figma. Not a very clear shot here.

Other booths.

I think this is doll clothing or something similar. Not really sure.

The only shot of the maid cafe I could manage before I vanished underneath the crowddddd~!!!

You know what to make now.

Bonus Tax payment to Gen. Raisha.

Manga stuff.

Aside from that, there were showcasing a new anime title (Summer Wars? No, seriously?), as well as modern how-to regarding manga art, a karaoke section, and a mock-up of an anime studio with recording equipment included, it seems.

It seems that a new brand of TCG just appeared: Weiss Schwarz, a card game of sorts using characters from other series. How it actually works the rules is beyond me and I don’t ever want to get into card collection again, can’t appreciate the intricacy behind it all, but seriously, Fujima Takuya-sensei is reigning 2009 champion of moe artworks.

None-anime stuff were mostly centered around kiddy toys. No, seriously.

All of which which I were full able to explore.

Didn’t really walk around much this time round. After being tired out at the start  of the day, I was more than happy to leave navigation to my other companions. Ended up surrendering and sitting down at the empty space behind the chairs for the concert at about 4pm. I guess with events like these you can’t really expect to split the day inbetween this and something else and hope to enjoy it to the fullest.  (:3c

Still, calling it an eye-opener is a bit of an understatement. I’m pretty sure that the maid cafe was one gigantic attraction unto itself being the first of its kind, and the karaoke was just so swamped with people I couldn’t even see the songs on the lower list (There was YOU GET TO BURNING, but no Yuusha-ou Tanjou? (:3c ). I got to hand it to the cosplayer who remixed the entire Lucky Star opening theme. XD

And one more thing, I have to learn how to use the camera properly. Seems like using the flash might actually produce better quality pictures than without.

And now, to tighten my belt and wait for next year. Re Mie shall be mine, ufufufufu~ (:3c
