Let's do the news! (Feb. 21, 2012)

It is now time to do the news! As for that, Good Smile Company announced the Yozora Mikazuki (三日月夜空) 1/7th scale PVC figure. That figure will go on sale this July with the pricing of 6800 Japanese Yen (plus tax).

Yozora Mikazuki figure


We could say that this figure is somewhat cool if you're more of a Marina Inoue fan because Marina Inoue played the role of Yozora Mikazuki from the Boku wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai (or Haganai for short) (僕は友達が少ない) anime. However, it's cool if you're a loner. I'm sorry but, Yozora? We even tried Google image search for the word "Yozora" and the results revealing several pics of Yozora Mikazuki! That's not necessary! Not as worse than this!

Porsche Macan sketch


Reports saying that they're will be a new Porsche crossover coming very very soon and this is somewhat a mini-Cayenne. Firstly, they used to call it Cajun but Porsche decided to call their new addition, MACAN. Macan? It's Indonesia for tiger (is it Bahasa?), right? When reports circulated, we even Google search for the keyword "Macan" and gosh, Porsche-related reports pop up! R U KIDDING ME? Ows, hindi nga?! If you're Indonesian, you should probably know how to pronounce the M-A-C-A-N word, right? It's Ma-chan but we're not sure if this pronunciation would probably fit it. With details remain scarce for now, all we know is that it's coming in 2013 as a 2014 model.

For something German-related, someone finally waited for this...

WAVE Beach Queens
Laura Bodewig


Yes, we know, you've been waited for this and it does look right! It does look exactly accurate from the one from the Infinite Stratos anime series! Seems that you might gonna need a 3990 Japanese Yen for the all new WAVE Beach Queens Infinite Stratos Laura Bodewig, coming this September. Wow, seems 4 out of 5 WAVE Beach Queens Infinite Stratos figures really got it right. Charlotte Dunois' BEACH QUEENS figure, no it wasn't. Nope, it's not from the anime, so sorry but don't worry, if you think that the Charlotte Dunois BEACH QUEENS figure is rubbish, there is an alternate arrangement because...

AlphaMaz Infinite Stratos Charlotte
Dunois Swimsuit figure


Some boffins from AlphaMax showed the error of WAVE's ways by creating a very accurate Charlotte Dunois swimsuit figure, which will go on sale this August with the pricing of 7560 Japanese Yen, which is twice as expensive than the WAVE Beach Queens Charlotte Dunois figure. That's a lot for a toy but it can be a perfect alternative arrangement to be honest, if you know what I mean? Tee-hee...

2013 Ferrari California


The Ferrari California? Remember this FR convertible you seen on Clarkson Duel as Vicki Butler-Henderson's car of choice for the second round against Jeremy Clarkson's DBS Volante? Remember this one from Top Gear Korea where Kim Jin-Pyo chauffeured actress Kang So-Ra after her Busan International Film Fest gig? Guess, what? Some minor alterations occurred for the 2013 Model Year California, which will be premiered at Geneva this March. The first fuel-injected V8 engine was improved to provide 490HP of power and 505Nm, 37hp more than the old California! Naught to 60 is now in 3.8 seconds, which is good!

2013 Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati


Remember the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari? Surely, we remember that but there's a new one and it's called the Abarth 695 Tributo Maserati. This was based on the highly seductive Fiat 500C Abarth, but in my opinion was a mistake. But no, this was inspired from the Maserati GranTurismo from the looks of it. It uses the Pontevecchio Bordeaux color sourced from Maserati for the exterior color, Maserati-style rims, Maserati-style exhausts, and some Maserati-style interior! Ain't that convincing?! However, it is limited to 499 units with additional info coming at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Salon next month.

Ferrari FF burned


Okay, about the Ferrari FF, that's a good car, the first to have four-seats, the first to have 4WD, best Ferrari I have ever tried when I drive it on Forza Motorsport 4 but it's not as quicker than my 458 Italia. We seen this one on Clarkson Powered Up. There was a report in China that a Ferrari FF sparked fire while the owner is driving the FF. That's gonna hurt. Some Ferrari's causing fire while cruising. The FF wasn't the only one. There was a Ferrari F430 burst fire while driving in SLEX, then there was an fire issue for the Ferrari 458.

Speaking of which, if you live in USA and if you love US version of Top Gear, don't be surprised because the official Top Gear site explained what would this be on the next Top Gear USA. Firstly, USA Muscle Cars of the present come together for a challenge. The Mustang GT, Camaro SS, and the Challenger SRT-8 392 come together for the challenge. Actor Patrick Warburton gets a chance to drive the Suzuki SX4 on a "Big Star on a Small Car" segment, and the Mustang Boss 302 duels against the horse. 


So, uh, comedian Ogie Alcasid spoofed DJ Mo Twister's controversial v-log about Mo's ex-girlfriend named Rhian Ramos right? That spoof was part of Regine and Ogie's concert titled "Mr. and Mrs. A" where the real-life couple creating their own v-logs to share their experiences. So, Mo Twister noticed Ogie's take on his controversial v-log and he got mad and he said that Ogie made fun of Mo Twister crying in the abortion video. Whoa, never seen that thing coming, didn't he?


And that's the news!
