Review: Fyana (Uoodo Ver.)

Fyana (Uoodo Ver.) is amu st-buy if you have the 1/12 Brutishdog.


Review: Strong Bacchus ATM-09-STC

Out of left field comes a surprising Scopedog variant (or 2 if you count the extra headgear) of an obscure Armored Trooper.


Review: Brutishdog ATM-09-GC

Yamato is at it again with another huge Scopedog variant and a news tease.


Review: Revival Dual Model Series Brutishdog ATM-09-GC

This toy is pure mecha goodness. It is made of sturdy diecast and plastic. It’s not one of these fragile expensive display pieces; it is definitely something designed to be played with.


Review: Action Figure Series (Yutaka) Chirico Cuvie

Chirico comes in a small generic black box with only a sticker to denote this figure from the other three in the series. The contents of the package includes one orange rubber suited 1/12 action figure with knee and arm pads and wristlets, one spruce of parts, 2x rubber belts, 2x shoulder pads, one rubber hose, a neck collar ring and photocopied instructions.


Review: Scopedog Red Shoulder Ver. 2 with Clear Armor Parts

Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the first Yamato Scopedog. I still think it is an amazing toy, but there were a few things that could have been done better. Yamato went back to the drawing board and made all kinds of subtle changes to the Scopedog, resulting in what you see here - the far superior Scopedog Ver. 2 Red Shoulder.


Review: Chirico Cuvie

Yamato blurred the lines with its Chirico figure.
