Dairy Queens

As i'm usually busy during the weekend (cuz i'm a raging alcoholic and the WC + Stanley Cup finals not helping), i'm a little late on this news. Wanted to post it on Friday when the news came up but was too lazy during that afternoon. Anyways, the official Queen's Blade site had a site rehaul last friday. They also added a new wallpaper as seen above. The other two are REALLY old. Another reason for the update is cuz of the release of their new books on friday as well, Tomoe and Echidna. As usual, the popular blogs has sample shots (moeyo link, akiba link, both not really safe for work). I believe i already mentioned their release before. I had these two preordered months ago when they were first announced. However, i won't be getting them soon. They will arrive w/ my other Queen's Blade book I "pre"ordered MONTHS AGO (Reina, Risty and Irma...making it nearly 1 year :P). I'm in no rush as i obtained scans shortly after their release. The same will be w/ these two and i will definitely post some clean scans whenever i get 'em. II plan on receiving the all the books in Sept/Oct. if all goes according to my R2 ordering plan. So yeah, one may notice a new character on the site. She's not new as she was presented almost an entire month before the site renewal. The loli character Yumil is designed by Mibu Natsuki (know for eromangas) and is a chara that i'm obviously not interested, like Noa.

On a QB related note, hobby stock posts some new (or very similar to amiami pics) of Reina (still DBATING on...close to submitting due my Hisayuki devotion) and Noa. They also have some shots of Organic Witchblade and 1 shot of Kotobukiya Witchblade. Yes, i'm obviously very interested in these two, hence the coverage. They also got some nice shots of other interesting aforementioned figs (ie. 1, 2, 3 , etc.). On the official site QB site you can also see the resin kits of Reina and Noa that are planned for Summer 2006. Irma & Risty will be next (can't wait to see). More pics of Reina and Noa can be seen at Be-j.

Hi, I was the anonymous guy. That Bleach PSP game looks really awesome and I see what you mean. Though, I'm more interested in how the Wii game plays.

heh, even w/ summer, i'm still behind in gaming. but yeah, WC and SC are surely not helping (nooo...oilers :'(), but yeah, i've got such a huge backlog of games that i need to finish. these mostly consists of rpgs, action/adventure and some seasons of sports games. i always delegate fighting games to first priority and gawd knows how much fighting games i play ^^.
