Fate Movies/Series

Wow! Another Fate Stay/Night adaptation! This time it will focus on Sakura and Shiro? So does that mean Rin will be on the back burner? Will Rider actually get some cool parts? Will we get that bondage scene with Rin AGAIN(w/ gag this time)? Will we see more of the other Servants this time? Will we get more awesome Figma toys? And a Rin with a more conventional outfit? A Medusa/Rider update Figma? It's movie trilogy so... it will definitely have more flesh that the 2010 Unlimited Blade Works movie. 

And I'm not entirely sure if this is an amalgam of a bunch of Fate movies/series/games that are coming out but it's pretty darn cool with that music. I know there are a plethora of Fate related animes coming out this year so I'm pretty excited. 

Furyu: Rin Tohsaka Fate/Stay Night (Unlimited Blade Works)

As part of my July spoils, this Rin Tohsaka was anticipated for a while now. I have had my sight on this statue for a while. She came with a pretty affordable price tag so 'why not', right? Let's check her out then.

The box itself would not have been my favorite box, but it could have been decent if it wasn't for the way it was 'handled'. Maybe it was the last one on the shelf or what not, but it's just a mangled box.

It's a nicely colored box with the "Fate Stay/Night" logo, peppered with her magical jewels. Other than that, not much to really gawk here aside from the nice little folds and damages of the box.

So obviously Rin is a statue so she does not come with any kind of accessory. Her stand is pretty simple, but Rin herself is something to admire. 

It's obvious that I think Rin is a cutie. Her choice of outfit(mostly worn in the Fate Stay Night series) also adds to her ever so enticing vibe. To top it off, this statue also has a posture that has Rin's essence pouring out of it and at the same time, elaborating at bit more on that sexuality that is hinted from her. Now I know she was in high school in the series for the most part, but ... come on. 

The sculpting on the figure itself is amazing but something to admire si the way her clothing articles are 'in sync' with her insinuated movement. The way Rin is 'waving' her long hair out of her face is also quite dynamic and so Rin in every way. The paint is of course something to admire as well; not great but not anywhere close to terrible. There are some shadowing affects here and there and for the most part, it is spot on to Rin's color scheme. That dark red really does go well with her black leggings, skirt, and mahogany shoes. The skin tone does well to capture her anime appearance.

The face isn't the highlight of the figure, but she is far from being one of the atrocious figures from the dark ages of Marvel Legends female interpretations. The bright blue eyes do stick out like they should, then we have the calm and somewhat seductive look on Rin's face is a great addition. 

Details. One must love details. The command seal on her right hand is there and I'm glad they didn't leave that out. That is after all a part of her character. Panties? Where? 

As a comparison, here's the Rin statue next to her Figma counterparts: Rin 2.0 and Original Rin. One can definitely see the height difference! Still wish 2.0 was more in line with her red outfit. 

With the statues lined up and the ones that came in this year, I don't think Rin will be winning any 'statue of the year' but that is not me saying that I do not like this figure. I didn't expect much from it with the price point BUT I am impressed with what I got with that price tag. For any Rin fans, this is a must! I do love the fact that she's in my collection and perhaps she will get a shout out at the end of the year. 

My July Spoils

So July was definiltey a pretty decent month. Well to be honest, it was more in line with my reading material than anything else(as if I have time for any of that). I did gain a few POPs here (Gwen, Harley, and Diana) in terms of figures and as the picture above shows, I gained another statue of Rin and then we have the MAIN attraction for July: Playarts KAI Fran! Having been reviewing a couple of Playarts pre Kai definitely winds me up for this figure! Excited beyond belief!

At any rate, I have my crosshairs for a couple of things like the Marvel Legends Spider-Man and X-Men; also, I have a couple of preorders making their way soon and THEN September is a big month for a gamer!

Keep a look out for those! Until then!

Damsel of The Month:

Name: Rin Tohsaka

Series: Fate/Stay Night

Some Words: This will probably be the less exuberant of my Damsel Of The Month series. And no, it's not not that I am not allured by the damsel I picked because I am. Rin is a beauty. Her colors, her attire, her looks, the hair, and from the looks of things in what very little I have seen in the anime is that she has the perfect personality to capture my attention. It's simply as I have stated, my knowledge and experience with the anime is LITTLE to NONE. And with that, it's safe to bet that I have VERY little knowledge of Rin herself. And I don't.

I watched the Unlimited Blade Works movie, and from what I have read and seen, it's not the best place to get lore for the characters and the anime itself. Honestly, I DiD feel a lot of missing meat while watching it. Though it enticed me to watch the anime series in the future. Not to tangent off, but because of that movie, I got to see a bit of her personality. She is mouthy, feisty, almost like Asuka but a bit toned down.  But how capable can a damsel be with ropes and such applied on her rather 'capable' body? A good gag won't hurt either considering that a mouthy damsel equals a great silenced vocal one!

Sadly, I don't have enough of her damsel portrayals(The one in Unlimited is quite alluring despite it missing a gag!) to log in. The story of the anime is indeed interesting to say the least and does have some pave way for some D.i.D.'ing; wonder if she gets a better treatment in the anime! Though the fans of the genre would definitely concoct their own aesthetic visuals of ropes and such, right? But since the show is based off of magic, I wonder if the ropes drawn/applied on her are somewhat coated with magical elements? Or perhaps she is just cajoled to stay in her bondage and have the will to feel helpless! Maybe that's too much thinking on my part!

Lost One Zero

I was always enamored by the way Loz would frequently use a damsel's own apparel as a means of a gag or binder. At this case, Rin's own knee high socks are used to silence her. Humiliation and enticing, of course!

Okay so to talk about her clothing, basically, without any previous knowledge of this said character, I found myself attracted to her. I mean come on, red, black, short skirt and knee high socks! That is a key element for some sensual and hott bondage scenes! Not to mention one can really dive into fanfic/fanart bondage libido with that clothing! Her face and hair style also adheres to the said genre.

Non Blindfold

 

Rin is also a pretty attracting name for reasons that are far more sentimental than I can let out. But even without words, the bondage scene we are allotted through fan art are enamoring enough to say the least.

Again, if you are looking for character information, my Damsel of the Month isn't the best place for it. And as I have said before, Rin Tohsaka isn't my best anime girl just yet so my knowledge is really lacking. But I do know a good damsel when I see one. And apparently, so does others! Christmas month next time, so who to take that slot of Ho HO HO? But until then…

Struggle away, Rin. xD

Almost panty shot there……

Keep in mind, this guy's name is "Shinji"

And just like all good things, it has to come at end some time, right?

She didn't struggle that much to cause strain on her wrists, but she did play the good damsel and does the 'tend to the rope burns' gesture!

Don't worry Rin, some pictures are 'eternal', and not to mention, fanart does magic to fix what you didn't get:

Thank you Kalindorf

So in that case…. struggle away, Rin. xD Very thankful for you being around! Perhaps Fate will have you Stay bound for the night… or more nights. Wishful thinking. =)

And a bit more crude pic but...

Oh in regards to the movie, it threw some fan service for us DiD fans. Rin and Saber both get their treatment. Saber's isn't as alluring but…

It insinuated enough things, let me tell you…. Anyways! Who is worthy of Christmas time?!

Til then!
