Gameaxis is one of the locally publish gaming magazine. I have probably bought like 1 or 2 issue when I was quite heavily into PC Gaming.
In their May issue they did an article on Japanese PVC figures collecting and if you browse to page 74, you’ll see a familiar face there xD, well familiar to those that have seen me before anyway haha. I was one of the collectors they interview, together with the Creative Director of XL-Shop and the TFM gang LilKev84 and Aiko.
The interview is basically on how we started collecting figures, what attracted us to start collecting figures, pretty basic stuff. Some photos of our collection as well.
This is the page I appear in haha, ok I don’t look good infront of a camera, that’s why I am usually behind the camera instead xD. The lolita cosplayer at the bottom right is Aiko, a photo that I took of her at Winter Warmers.
Sorry for the small photos, can’t post it big since it’s a magazine, well if you wanna read about it, just head to the nearest newstand and grab a copy xD.
Not as cool as me. I appear in Playworks, the other gaming mag, every month. And they pay me! By “I”, I mean my writing of course. LOL.
Hehe congratz valho! ; )
Nice highlight on the Shuraki girls, Alicia and Fate. But they should have make a close up on your Saber army haha ^^ we can only view few of them behind you *snif*
j/k ; )
Congrats on getting publication. I’m still wondering if my figure photographs would ever get published, but I’m content for real life ones for now.
wow, gratz on going on the mag…
i wan the fate!!! *drooling*
Well I read about this on msn and I started searching the web for it but found nothing.
Nice going ^^
Nice… you guys are making some in roads in the local scene! Congrats on getting the publication in Gameaxis! I’ll probably stop by the local bookstore and grab a copy.

@rain~haha yeah, hopefully can get more collectors to join us next time
@Exiled_Gundam, ron~thanks
@ LazyShinigami~i don’t look good in photos LOL
Just scan it for us. Nobody wants to buy a magazine just for a page or two of generic “pretty basic stuff” interview ┐( ¯3¯)┌
Whatever happened to power levels? I wouldn’t ever want my face to be printed on magazines, associating me with this hobby.
Also, random maid cosplay photo on page two is random.
@desudesu~I respect intellectual property, so no I won’t be scanning the magazine, whether you wanna read it or not it’s up to.
Hmm don’t find anything wrong having my face printed on a magazine, associating myself to this hobby, it’s nothing for me to be embarrassed about.
The lolita, not meido cosplayer at the bottom is one of the collector they interview.
really nice to see us on the mag ^^
hey, now that i notice, y is Aiko off-focus? XD
Congrats on the magazine.
Nice to be featured in a magazine!!!
Congratez!!!!!!!
@LilKeV84~yeah hehe coz simply shoot only mah the mag

That must be nice to be featured like that.
@Serene~haha yeah, so now when you come to KL just bring the mag along so you can recognise us ^^. Alicia on cover page XD
@super rats~it’s kinda cool 🙂
I appeared on the Overseas Chinese Daily last month. Funny thing is, while the interview was conducted in English, it was written in Mandarin. As a result, it became an unreadable moment of self-gratification that few would probably care. I was interviewed about 1/6 action figures. I’m using my nick and my classic mugshot avatar.
@Hangmen~Now that’s a strange one, interview in English but written in Mandarin haha. The only ppl who would care to read it are probably just collectors. You must have quite a collection of 1/6 figures 🙂
