The saga of Saint Seiya continues and Bandai has new Saint Cloth Myth to show for it. I take a look at the first release from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas. It's Pegasus Tenma.

It is not a bad toy per se, but it doesn’t excel beyond merely bringing back an old-school animation technique.

Video review included!

The Virtual On's Viper II makes its model kit debut from Kotobukiya. No need to insert coins to continue!

“... the truth is... I am Iron Man.”

This toy is a monster. It is grand in scope. It makes me feel like I am 10 again. It makes me feel small.

Go Nagai's Super Robot anime Mazinger Z was extremely popular with children in South Korea during the 70's. So, with this in mind, Kim Cheong-Ki wanted to create a Korean hero for Korean children.

Koto's Raiden doesn't disappoint

I'm going to try something a little bit different with this review and show some pictures of construction and comment on it. After all, building a model kit's one of the most important parts.

The AMP Suit (aka the "Iron Lady") is very cool, but the 3d webcam control gimmick is amazing. A first of its kind.

Includes HD video of the iTag system in action

"With infinite complacence people went to and fro over the earth about their little affairs, serene in the assurance of their dominion over this small spinning fragment of solar driftwood, which by chance or design man has inherited out of the dark mystery of Time and Space. Yet across an immense ethereal gulf, minds that to our minds as ours are to the beasts in the jungle, intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us......."

Happy Halloween! My contribution to this fine holiday is a review of a decidedly creepy pair of designer vinyls...

This Soul of Chogokin was an exclusive release for the Autumn 2009 Tamashii Nations Expo.

While clearly an effort is being put forward here to have a stronger influence of Japanese culture and history involved in “Shinkenger”, this set just doesn’t do it for me.

Lian or Lion (depending on where you grew up) appears in the anime, Brave Command Dagwon. Lian is a sword-shaped old warrior (now don't laugh) from a world of sword shaped robots......

You need to look at the mecha here not just as more transformable mecha, but as folding and twisting and bending in the same way as the ancient Japanese paper craft, origami.
