Konami’s Diorama Studio software is a remarkable program that puts a virtual action figure (based on designs from the Busou Shinki toyline) on your PC. The program is in Japanese but don’t let that put you off trying it.
In previous guides, I showed you how to download and install Diorama Studio, display Japanese text on a non-Japanese edition of Windows XP, create a Konami ID and select and pose a CG model in the Diorama Studio Model Editor.
In this guide, I’m going to show you how to create a simple diorama using the Diorama Studio Diorama Viewer.

Anger, resentment, and jealousy: a Microman fan’s tale.
“I see the fans in their anguish, complaining about Bay ‘destroying their childhood’ and even accusing him of horrible ‘revisionist history’ and at that point I do feel pain, but not I regret of sympathy so much as that of vengeful spite.”

Second Life gets a police presence.
However, this will not mean fewer flying penis attacks as the police are there only for recruitment purposes.

A photo of Takara Tomy’s Action Hero Pro figure in a side kick pose.
Remarkably, the figure is capable of standing on its own in this pose. It’s not the model of stability but it stood up long enough for me to take a few photos. That hinge-ball combo joint for the ankle really helped.
