For once, I considered myself lousy in the field of History. During my school days, I often got bored with the its long discussions. I could still remember when I had to force myself to memorize the things due to the lack of interest on the subject. I just find it not fun at all - but that changed when the Warring States of the Japanese History was introduced to me.
I first got a taste of the Sengoku experience when my brother brought his playstation console home and a box full of games (CDs). When I took a peek inside, I found a game with a very interesting cover art - Kessen. To me - it's really captivating to see a person or character in cool armors or so.. and that's where everything started..
Kessen
I could say this was a very effective way in learning the history of Japan (though not really in its entirety). My addiction grew and that's when I got myself a copy of Kessen III, Nobunaga's Ambition, and as well as the anime - Sengoku Basara.

But the craving never stops!! LOL. Just as soon as I heard the release of Sengoku Basara figures, I contacted a friend of mine and got myself these six (6) figures...
My purchase last year. Revoltechs Mitsunari Ishida, Date Masamune, Yuki Sanada, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Motonari Mori, and Chosokabe Motochika.
I was really happy about the quality of these Revoltech figures, as well as its articulation and the gimmicks that come with it. I'm just sad that they just released six for the Sengoku Basara line. I really don't know what their reasons are, but I am just hoping that they'll decide and continue what they have started... I guess I'm not the only one looking forward for the other figures such as: (credits to http://sengokubasara.wikia.com/ for the pictures)

I really do hope they'll decide to continue the Sengoku Basara line. I guess the other characters deserve their action figures as well (well... if not all, then most of it though). I'll definitely save up to get my hands on these if ever there will be any future releases. :P What do you think guys?? LOL
Anyways, that's all for now and thanks for the visit! :)
Until the next update!! See 'ya guys! c",)
