Friday Review - The Art of Bioshock Infinite

Friday Review~! 

Right, the first thing you need to know about me is that I love art and I love Hardback books. Put the two together and you have one of my favourite things.
So when I see a hardback book of something I adore I just have to get it.

So this week, I shall be reviewing this lovely thing.


I am a huge fan of Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite and I had added this to my wishlist when it was released but I never got around to buying it back then and a few weeks ago I decided to buy it, and it was so worth it.
Everything about it is just wonderful, the drawings, the colouring, the cover of the book, I just love it.



















As you can see from the above picture there is a lot of concept art in this book and it's just amazing to see how a character is created. All the different styles they could have gone with but instead went with another.

The printing in the book is also very high quality which adds to the magnificent art work throughout the book.




























This Art Book is published by Dark Horse which is now definitely one of my favourite publisher. Just now looking through some things they have a lot of things that I would love to buy and I probably will in the near future.

Now for the price, I brought this book at the price of £22.49 at the time, looking at the price of it now it has only gone up by £3. I brought this book at Amazon because Amazon is a very reliable website. If you want to buy it, here's the link
I would actually say that this book should be a lot more because of how outstanding it is, the art, the quality of the book itself, it shocked me because for something so pretty and well put together is so cheap.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, Bioshock fan or not.

It definitely goes well with my collection of Hard Back books.


Well that's it! Thanks for reading my Review of The Art of Bioshock Infinite. I hope you enjoyed it!

All the pictures shown in this Review are all taken by myself.

Well that's it ducklings~

 Grace out!

Friday Review - (Figuarts Zero) One Piece Monkey D. Luffy (New World Ver.) - Figure Review!

Friday Review~!

This figure was the first figure I brought that was a  proper figure, not an £8 fake from a Convention.
When I was looking for some One Piece figures to buy they were all so expensive, like £60-100 expensive but when I saw this figure it was a reasonable price and also really nice.
The box it came in was really simple and nice.


(Sorry this isn't the best picture)


Taking it out I knew straight away that it was a really nice figure, it's around 15cm.
It was lovely and all but however I did have some trouble putting the figure on the stand with the pegs on his feet, in the end my Brother did it. 



And there he is~ Monkey D. Luffy~ It really is a nice figure. Right, you want to know how much it was, in yen it was 1260 which came to £7.25, including shipping it came to  £26.59.
Yes, that is the problem with buying Japanese figures, the shipping, also customs, but I shall tell you about my custom disasters another time. 
However this time, I did not have any problem with customs with this purchase. (I must have been lucky)


I brought this figure at CDJapan, but I don't think they have it on the website anymore, I did buy this in October last year. But if you want to see what other figures they have, here's the link!
>>Click Me!<< They have a lot of shipping choices, which is lovely and I haven't had a bad experience with them. (I have also brought books and CDs from them and it's been fine, only had problem with customs which isn't their fault)

Overall Good figure! Defiantly recommend it! Just make sure to know you're buying a real one, not a fake one, there are so many fakes on the internet. 

Well that's it ducklings~

 Grace out!
