Dropped by Amiami.com today to check if they have anything new and their blog had a bunch of pics taken from HobbyShow 2010. What got my attention was this display of Early Wing model kits. All of the ones on the upper shelf appear to be master grade model kits. Wing Gundam was already released as a Ver. Ka and they also released the model kit again as a regular MG release. Then recently, Bandai released the Gundam Deathscythe Early Wing version. Continue Reading

Really. I wouldn’t. When this figma showed up on the preorders, everyone was complaining that it was so bloody expensive when prior to the price tag announcement, everyone was saying “OMFG, I will definitely get this figma! FINALLY! This figma has always been in my wishlist!” figma KOS MOS was never on my wishlist. The figma design I was wishing for was the seifuku version of figma BRS with a traditional katana in black. But everyone else said “meh, too many seifuku figmas. We’d rather see KOS MOS.”

So finally, KOS MOS shows up and all you’re going to complain about is the fucking price?! The damn thing costs around the same price as a regular Nendoroid for fuck’s sake.

*woosah*

Anyways, I am not passing up on figma KOS MOS. She will be standing right beside my gorgeous figma Cute once I get her. I’ve never been a fan of the games where KOS MOS appeared. Probably the only game I played that had KOS MOS in it was that SRW rpg with all the bouncing boobies you can find~! Continue Reading

With me looking forward to the MG ReZel release (which looks quite awesome in its colored proto shots), I was actually surprised that Bandai announced this MG release, just a couple of months after the movie’s release. Although not really an actual curveball, and seeing the timing of its release and the movie’s release, this was something rather expected after a bit of thinking. Makes me wonder though what kind of unique gimik this kit will have compared to the previous Gundam 00 Master Grade releases.

Here are some scans picked up from Ngee Khiong’s blog.

Here are some SIC magazine scans from Ngee Khiong’s blog.

Here are better shots of the soon-to-be-released SIC Kamen Rider Stronger and Tackle. Up close, that Stronger head design is starting to grow on me plus that whole light effect for the eyes and the chest for his Charge Up mode is pretty neat. Makes me wish the previous Kamen Riders had light up eyes as well. Continue Reading

Ever since Boa Hancock showed up as one of the Royal Shichibukai in One Piece, I’ve considered her as the hottest manga/anime character in my book. She has practically dethroned every single gorgeous anime/manga female character that I have encountered in the past.

That’s why I am quite frustrated that I wasn’t able to catch Boa’s figurine in preorder and seeing the production images in Amiami just increases my regret that I was not able to get her. My incoming Momohime figurine is gorgeous but I would want Boa more than Momohime.

Boa comes in this gorgeous form. Her red outfit having a metal red coating. Most figurine adaptations don’t normally catch the exact look of the character but this one takes the cake. Absolutely beautiful from afar. But I do notice something to be concerned about with this figurine. Her pose, and the fact that she’s made from PVC, automatically makes her a candidate for leaning when placed in a warm room. Continue Reading

…this is what greets me:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Ok. So why am I both frustrated and excited?

1. This is the next Perfect Grade coming out of Bandai’s factories.
2. This particular version will be based on Hajime Katoki’s design.
3. The SEED-based inner frame that’s been seen in PG Strike and PG Astray will most likely be used again here.
   
4. I’m trying to save up for a laptop and the last thing I need is another temptation.

So yeah, you can understand my dilemma here, right? No? Well, to make things more interesting, with all the tech that’s been present in the most recent PG release (Gundam 00 Raiser), most likely, this one will have more than just light-up eyes as a feature. (Remember the Lightning Edition 1/60 HG Strike Freedom?)

Anyways, this bit of news from Ngee Khiong’s blog.

Now, where are those Nendoroids that are supposed to be here already? :3

A person commented on one of my old Gloomy photo story posts and I suddenly missed this murderous pink bear. Now, Revoltech is releasing a bloodier version of this action figure. And by bloodier, I meant this:

More blood decals on Gloomy. But that corpse face is just creepy. Continue Reading

Bandai had already released Kamen Rider Kuuga before but I wasnt too fond of how it looked since it was bordering along the “Another” styling of SIC action figures where it was very skinny and organic-looking. But it looks like Bandai is enjoying the success of their Kamen Rider Kabuto release with Decade Final Form Ride parts so now they’re releasing SIC Kamen Rider Kuuga Decade Edition with Kuuga Final Form Ride parts.

I’m actually liking the look and size of this one. The proportions are better on this one I think since as I said earlier, I found for earlier release of Kamen Rider Kuuga to be too skinny for my taste. This one looks like it can really support you in a brawl. He is definitely bulkier than the previous form. Continue Reading

I’m still following Kamen Rider W although I’m several episodes behind due to internet service issues at home as well as finding time to actually download the episodes. Nevertheless, I still am a big fan of this particular KR series and am looking forward to Bandai releasing Kamen Rider W SIC action figures. I know they are already rolling out more proto’s of the other Kamen Rider W forms in Bandai’s MG Figurise line but I don’t really give a crap about that one. I prefer the SIC action figure line!

I am aware that there are a good number of people who have followed Gundam Unicorn are quite fond of the ReZel design. It looks like Bandai is now finally releasing the Master Grade version of this mech.

Prior to this, the iterations of merchandise for ReZel were the GFFN version, and the HGUC model kit.

Note that the press release doesn’t appear to indicate that this is a ver. Ka box. A lot of people tend to love adding ver. Ka to a kit just because it was designed by Hajime Katoki. (points at the Gundam Deathscythe ver. EW (Early Wing))
