Fine Molds released two of the most iconic aircraft from Porco Rosso in two different scales, 1/72 and 1/48. This review represents a special package that includes Porco’s Savoia S.21 in 1/72 scale that has the option to build both the Early type and the Late Fio Type but also includes the book “The Age of The Flying Boat.”

I have always had a soft spot for Hayao Miyazaki's Future Boy Conan and due to the availability of once rare Japanese items now available through the Internet it was great to finally discover and own some great and original Conan items.

The enchanted Soot Balls are one of those characters that have made two appearances in Miyazaki films once in My Neighbor Totoro as Soot Sprites and the other in Spirited Away as Soot Balls.

Studio Ghibli toys and model kits are some of the most consistent releases when it comes to beauty, design, packaging and execution. I can see Hayao Miyazaki at his desk personally approving or disapproving toy prototypes of his characters.
