Mizuki versus Squirrel

Greetings fox minions and Shinki fans. Today I wanted to quickly show you some more spring-related images with Mizuki and a semi-tamed red squirrel. I delayed the article posting because I wanted to attach more images onto this article, sadly mother nature didn’t agree with my thoughts causing it to rain constantly.

Happy (Shinki Fun) Easter!

Happy Easter fellow Fox minions and silent lurkers! Couldn’t let Easter slip loose without getting some sort of images to remember it with. Mizuki and Renge decided to raid my plate full of Palacinky a.k.a Crepes.

Figma Kamui Kobayashi

Greetings fellow fox minions! Finally obtained my Figma after a weird, and possibly lazy, mishap with FedEx. Because I watch or at least follow Formula 1 I just had to get Kobayashi for the fun of it.

Mizuki’s Spring Flight

Greetings folks, couldn’t pass up on a nice glorious day with both Renge and Mizuki. Been itching to take more images of my lovely Shinki pair and to simply take images of any signs of spring. The buds are still taking ages to pop out. Also took the time to fiddle around with the effects, filters, and the like.

The Princess And The Pilot – Anime Movie

Greetings fellow Anime fans and pilots alike! I wanted to try something new and to review an awesome Anime movie about aviation. The Princess and The Pilot is a movie about a pilot who is tasked with escorting a princess from an island to the mainland in a new scout plane through dangerous enemy patrols.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers due to me reviewing the movie as a whole. Shall try to keep spoilers to a minimum; Skim past the images if curious.

Awkwardly Awesome March

Greetings fellow fox minions! What’s this about? Well, just a random post neither Shinki nor anime, something more about me yet isn’t. Ever since I upped my blog I upped at least some form of birthday post, even if it may be pointless or not. Can’t break that “tradition” haha.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Greetings folks! Finally caved; trying the SWTOR trial that just happened to start roughly when I caved. My mind gave me this awkward dream which had a random nostalgic Star Wars Galaxy moment that made me go out of my way to try playing it, which in the end I did. I actually ended up enjoying it so much that I wanted to at least share either the screenshots and/or my opinions with you.

Busou Shinki – Mizuki Type 2 – Type Ninja

Greetings! Mizuki unexpectedly arrived on Monday, soon after I received my cradles arrivals from HLJ for about $61 CAD. She is indeed a very awesome figure, surprising me at ever part equip stage that I ended up taking loads of images of her.
