Thank God for a good trip in Japan: March 21-23; Daimon St, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, and Odaiba.

Another international travel and I thank God for a nice experience and safe trip back. Thank you for my sister when it came to navigation and my mom as well for making it a nice family trip. I will be cramming a few days within a post due to a very long stay in Japan, Hong Kong and Macau. So these posts will be pic heavy. Without due, let's get started.

March 21

We flew out. Landed in the Land of Rising Sun next day due to time zone differences. 



March 22 Daimon St.

Stayed at the Shiba Park Hotel. Had to catch a bus to get here and there was some heavy traffic. We were a little jet lagged and my mom wasn't feeling well so only me and my sis stepped out for a bit as we bought food back for my mom. As for Tokyo Tower, this were the only shots I got of it.

March 23 Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, and Odaiba

Shibuya crossing and Hachiko

 


 




Got to meet the famous Hachiko finally! The Shibuya crossing can get very crazy. Actually, the same goes for almost anywhere in Japan, so don't say I didn't warn you if you ever go there.

Ichiran- 

Good noodles! The best ramen I've eaten so far!

Tower Records!










Shibuya crossing from TR.
Hachiko in TR!


Nice to see TR doing well in the east. Sadly, I just found out the founder died last year. There are posters commemorating him throughout the several floors.

Don Quijote

DQ was one of the final stops here in Shibuya since we were pressed for time to go to Harajuku to see Shibas. As you can see Hachiko rules Shibuya. 


Hachiko again!?!

Countdown to girls day 5 of 5: Power of the Primes Novastar review!


Aloha folks and welcome to the finale of the girls day segment. Today is Novastar! Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and contents:

 


 

Not shown here is the manual. Quintus is Novastar's prime master but honestly don't care for this part.

Robot mode w/Moonracer

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Novastar is molded off Moonracer. Not much difference except for color and the head. And of course, her gun is different but as a goodie you can merge her blaster with Moonracers rifle. Novastar also suffers the heavy backpack syndrome Moonracer had. With some patience you can land some decent poses.

Countdown to girls day 4 of 5: Power of the Primes Elita-1 Voyager review!


Greetings TF fans and alike. As we almost march towards the end of the girls day reviews, today we have Power of the Primes Elita-1! Elita is a revamp figure of Silverbolt/Scattershot. How well does she do? Three forms of playtime minus the boxing I will be reviewing. Without due, let's get started!

Looks promising so far. Elita-1 is also of The Search for Alpha Trion fame of G1 season 1.

Elita-1 is a thing of beauty. Aesthetically, she looks really great. Has really tight elbow joints and decent posability. Reason I say this is that my figure has some really loose knee joint on the right leg. It's probably just mines. What is also a little messed up is that for a voyager figure, she has two small guns. I guess what compensated for this is the 2x black Hand/Gun/feet weapon (HGF) it comes with. Not only does the figure comes with this duo weapon, it also gives you a free prime master named Enigma. Well, stick the weapons on any pegs as you desire.
