This is my first photo shoot since…… a while ago I guess ^^;;. Fall/Winter is coming and the weather is getting chillier everyday so I thought I would have an outdoor photo shoot for the last time. My last outdoor photo shoot was at Niagara Falls where I went there with my parents and I would love to go there for another photo shoot session. For Octavia, I chose Casaloma castle as my setting since a castle fits her image/clothing perfectly.
Fellow readers probably can tell that I am little bit rusty since I haven’t done any photo shoots for the last 4-5 months. Outdoor photo shoot would be great to get things going again.
One thing that I love about this figure is that she can stand without using her base so she is perfect for outdoor photo shoot because having her base would be weird in outdoor environment.
For this session, I only use her unsheathed sword because I just like her pose more ^^. Anime girls with a sword are the best thing ever ^^
If I can be nit-picking with this figure, her paint job is mediocre and there are quite imperfection on her clothing especially on her shoulder. More over, don’t even get me started on her face as she looks different than the one in the anime. Since it’s Kotobukiya, I didn’t expect much from this figure. I bought because it’s Octavia and I just love anime girls with swords.
You can see the castle as her background and it suits her perfectly. This one would be even better if it’s closer but I like the black-white version of this one.

So you actually went to Casa Loma for the photoshoot? I assume it’s Casa Loma since it’s the only one in T.O. I love the photos…too bad the weather sucks now.
Btw, I like the new design for your blog. It’s very clean…but it’s a problem when I can’t find your latest post at the home page. “orz I know you got the thingy on top (dunno what it’s called), but it doesn’t show the date AND it switches to other posts. You might want to fix that.

Yah I went to Casa Loma for photoshoot ^^. It was fun and I really enjoy doing outdoor photo shoot instead of indoor.
Oohhh thank you for your feed back. That really helps me a lot knowing what visitors see. The thing at the top is called slideshow. It shows 5 post in total. There are quite a few settings for this theme and still looking which settings are good.
Really nicely pictures ^^ Octavia is a great figure, cute and dynamic ^^ I lover her face and her hair ^^
I don’t like her face since it’s not really different than the one in the anime in my opinion at least .
I wouldn’t mind a few figures which can stand on it’s own. Not only good for outdoor shoots but also a great space saver.
For a ever increasing collection, it will benefit in the long term. lol
Great shoot. ^^d

I think there are only Octavia and Rhiannon so far. Octavia was my choice due to her sword.
