Two things before bed.

For one, I've decided to delete all my old toy reviews off here. They spam my journal and I have a review blog now. But they aren't going to the blog - since they're really old and are mostly of stuff I don't own anymore, I decided to get rid of the posts and be done with it. They shouldn't be of any loss. Over on the blog you can find plenty of more recent Kamen Rider and Transformers content. Hopefully Transformers Prime reviews if I'm lucky to find some new stuff.

As another thing that's being mentioned, solely for the title joke, I've been watching old Doctor Who serials. These are kinda fun and have their own cheesy charm, especially the robotics. I like how every robot plot I've seen so far makes a point to spam the laws of robotics. As I'm working on a comic that involves robots as part of society I can see myself referencing some of these old plots.

Anyways, I'm tired, just thought I'd make some sort of update here, even if it's tired rambles. G'night.

Well well well... It has been a while since I uploaded this thing. In fact, most of the year. Lemme try to recap the year so far.
( Read more... )

As is becoming typical, I haven't updated LJ in forever. What's new? Well, not much THIS year, aha. But as I posted on DA and FA, 2010 in summary...

This year has been uneventful at best, as far as real life goes. But not too bad, all things considered.

- I'd joined the PCA (PokeCombat Academy RP group) in November '09, so a majority of this year had been about doing stuff on FA and whatnot. Major lack of content on my DA gallery as a result, but I'll be uploading stuff there when I can.

- I got some (minor) progress on the plans for an original story. Which to me, is important. I attempted to do a webcomic but it proved to be unsuccessful, I jumped the gun. I'll tackle it again once I'm ready.

- Pokemon Black/White news has been going on all year, which, despite how it is received with the general audience, I am quite excited to play the game and am quite pleased with the content we've gotten so far. The US site is getting updates from time to time as well! I may do some journal explaining my impressions on it in full another time.

- I started up a blog... http://malunis.blogspot.com/ ...to post reviews for toys, movies and games. Mainly toys. It needs more updates as of late. Also, if you haven't checked it lately, I DID post a review for Christmas on a thing I got. Nudge nudge.

- I got into many Kamen Rider shows to further engulf myself into weeaboo goodness. Desu.

- By June, I got to know some PCA folk. And they've been some amazing friends. I've grown up quite a bit since meeting them; I've become less sheltered and more open to speak my mind.

- Artistically, I've come a long, long way and am continuing to from this point on.

- Lastly, there was a bit of an issue with my mom at work. She had a bit of an accident due to a drunk driver. However, she is alright. The reason this comes up, is that it will get us some cash that we DESPERATELY need.

Here in 2011, I hope to be moving out of this apartment, into a nice house, and onto better living.

Here's hopin' your 2011 is decent.

Random spam because I need somewhere to post this junk. Bold text are ones that have been obtained, italic text is stuff that's been seen but not caught. Everything not seen will be left as -----

Also as a bit of a disclaimer for trading... I don't really like trading legendaries, but I WILL do it for the sake of sharing Pokedex data. That said, some of the legendaries I've "obtained" are merely data. Just so y'know.

Overall total: 
Seen: 361
Obtained: 278

Well, I've not given a life update in forever, but let's see...

( Happyrant and furry content ahead OH NO! )

Nothing major, I'm just planning to move all my toy reviews to... A new blog! http://malunis.blogspot.com/

Just so I can stop spamming my LJ with reviews. However, I WILL post journal entries when new stuff is posted over there.

Right now all I have on the blog is my first ever toy review, and two movie reviews I did here. The rest of my reviews here are ALL toy stuff, and will take a while to move since I need to move all the pictures as well. Maybe use new ones as well. We'll see! 

Just a heads up. More regular LJ posts to come I guess?

So, February 13th was the US Toyfair event. Hasbro had a LOT of stuff to show off for 2010, and surprisingly, MORE than half was stuff we never saw before! There were surprises. First I wanna do a journal for the movie related stuff, since there's a lot to talk about.

( Read more... )

So I haven't done a normal journal in a while. Since I have a bunch of non-Transformers items, here's what I bought with my Christmas cash.

Disney's Gargoyles season 1 on DVD:
This show was AWESOME. To be honest this doesn't count since I received this on Christmas eve, but I don't think I ever mentioned it, so here it is. Haven't check this to see if it works well (I read on Amazon a couple of people had problems with audio not being in sync), but I'm sure it's fine.

Spider-Man the Movie on Gamecube:
Yep, the old movie game. I had been watching a Let's Play of the Spider-Man 64 game for a while, and remembering that this movie game uses the same controls I love, I bought it. Protip to gamers: Old Gamecube games, more often than not, are REALLY cheap on Amazon.

Master Of Disguise soundtrack:
YEAH, yeah, I know. I'm a fan of the movie. And I loved the music from it, which apparently is impossible to find online, so I got this. It's a bad movie, but hey, this means it's also cheap. I got this on Amazon for like 1 cent and 2 or 3 dollars shipping.

Master Of Disguise on DVD:
SHUT UP. Yeah, I got the movie as well. I've not watched it yet but I will eventually.

Interstella 5555 on DVD: 
The epic Daft Punk hour-long music video anime film. See it on YouTube now if you haven't already. Extras on this one are kind of scarce but it really feels good to finally own a copy of this instead of watching it on the computer.

Metal Gear on NES:
HAHA, HAHA, okay, so this was a joke purchase. I find the NES port of this game to be quite annoying, and full of grammar issues and typos, but I figured I'd get it so I had another Metal Gear game on my metaphorical belt. Snake's Revenge would be a novelty item for me if I bought that. But I'd be afraid that it would burn my skin...

Anyways, that's all I bought with my Christmas cash. In case you're wondering, it was just $40, but I'm one to look for really cheap deals, so a lot of this stuff was a few dollars each. I have about $18 left which will go to my Twitter friend GeneralTekno - I owe him a ROTF Bludgeon.

Anyways, that's all. Couple of reviews to come! 

Later,

So, I'm doing commissions now. Lemme give you the basic rundown...

Here's the basic price rundown:
- For a sketch and nothing more, the price range is $5-7. Your choice depending on how much you're willing to pay.
- For something full colored, the price range is $10-15, also depending on your preference.

Special offer for Transformers fans:
- I'm willing to accept Transformers as payment. Consider it a trade. Let me know if you wish to pay this way, and list what you're willing to give as part of this trade.
- Anything below Deluxe class is good for a sketch.
- Deluxe, Fast Action Battlers and such in that price range is good for a full color.
- If you're up for making it more interesting, a Voyager class is good for TWO full colored images.
- Ultra or Human Alliance, that's three.
- If you're willing to go even higher, well... I'd rather not think people would be willing to go THAT far for my art, but if you feel daring enough to, then I'll give you an idea of what that'll give you.

Special offer for Kamen Rider fans:
- I also accept Kamen Rider figures! But I may only be after certain things. Namely, Kabuto series figures. If you've got a Kuuga or Decade, I'll take that too most likely.
- Motion Revive, going by the figures size but also their value as imports, might be good for one full colored image, possibly two if I really want it.
- Hard to say with SH Figuarts. You'll have to ask me what I'd do for it.

Payment:
- For reasons beyond my control, Paypal is not an option to me, so I suppose the preferred method of payment would be for you to mail me the money. This is why I provide the Transformers and Kamen Rider offers above, as an alternative.
- I'm most likely willing to do your commission once we've made a deal, but even so, I would prefer it if you tried sending the money over ASAP. Please understand this.

Hope to get some commissions done soon!

Running out of clever holiday titles.

I was at a family gathering last night. Got $40 in cash and a weird tube of fabric thing. You can use it as a headband or a hoodie as well as other things, it's pretty functional.

Other stuff I got via Amazon:
ROTF Desert Tracker Ratchet
ROTF Interrogator Barricade
ROTF Human Alliance Skids
Disney's Gargoyles season 1 on DVD
and Animal Crossing: City Folk!

I'm planning on playing Animal Crossing later. Will let people know my online infos once I'm settled in.

Anywho, hope you all had yourselves a Merry Christmas. :)
