Happy Soda Doujin Vol.1

There are many talented figure photographers out there but when someone asks me wich of the countless ones is my absolute favorite theres only one answer: superrats.He has the talent to take a figure and arrange it in a way that you simply cant resist buying the figure.I dont know where hes pulling his ideas from but they always underline the figures beauty resulting in gorgeous aesthetic pictures.I am a person that prefers to hold things in his hand instead of looking at the digital counterpart and i was really pleased to hear that superrats planned to make a Doujin of some of his favorite shots.He completed his Doujin last month and offered it for a limited time,with the doujin spirit in mind,as a softcover book via LuLu.

My Thoughts and Pictures after the Jump!

First off ive gotta say that all the pictures in this Doujin are great but im really pleased that some of my personal favorite shots made it into it.Theres nothing more satistfying than finally owning them as a physical copy.The Doujin is a 68 page piece with mostly one page shots and  casual 2 page shots.The greatest pictures wont look good if the printer messed up though…The Printing on demand service LuLu did a good printing job in my copy: crisp colours,no printing errors and good paper quality.Theres one exception tough: the glossy cover lacks those attributes.Some of the colours look like they couldnt have been displayed right and result in looking kinda out of place.Its like when you had your monitor on 256 colours and display a 16 bit picture….Its not bad because it only happened to the white but i still wanted to mention it.

I wasnt pleased with LuLu prices and billing system.I first placed my orders 2 days before the final deadline and i wondered on the final day why i havent got a status e-mail or something similar.Upon Investigation i found out that they messed up my order and after some meddling with their online customer support (wich is very nice and good) i was able to order it again.LuLu somehow decided to raise their shipping costs 4€ and the Doujin price 2 €.What an unpleasant suprise….I still had to get the Doujin tough….It was a pricey choice (i could have bought an older Kotobukiya figure for that price) but worth every penny.The Doujin arrived 7 days after it was printed in Spain on my doorstep via UPS.

If youre interested to take a look at the Doujin you can download a LOW RES PDF here or here.For HiRes glory you should visit Superrats blog and browse in his figure archives.

Superrats shares his thoughts on some of his shots wich is a really interesting read

One of my favorite shootings of superrats

Too ecchi for me ^^;

Too Ecchi as well but i simply love the stunning atmosphere he created in the pictures

Did i mention that superrats is a pervert? ^^

Pure sex.Oh gawd! I simply love this shot! Did i mention that im also a pervert?

I hope i watered your mouth for superrats work and that youll buy one yourself when hes hopefully releasing Vol.2!The book itself contains alot of more great pictures that i wont post because i think that this should stay a previlege to the people that bought the Doujin.
