ERIC SO Gallery: Darkhorse Hellboy Vinyl

Now when I first got this piece I couldn't help but laugh at how appropriate a subject like Hellboy would be for an Eric So URBAN VINYL figure. That and I laughed because he looked funny. Not funny wierd but funny "ha ha'. I don't own many URBAN VINYL'S but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab a Hellboy one. I was in my... *ahem* "Hellboy phase" thanks to the 2004 movie and the awesome comic by Mike Mignola.

Well after I got my Vinyl I was in a glass case of emotions. Literally the UPS guy took forever to arrive. After much pacing and swearing I got it. It arrived right before my friends showed up. And then it was pointed out to me that my Hellboy Vinyl... that beautifully round-belly figure had a certificate that said number six out of a thousand. That's 006/1000 my friends. That night was truly metal.

ON TO THE GALLERY!!!

MEDICOM Gallery: More than Demon...

Back again today with a very special gallery for all you retro manga fans! Today's subject is the Medicom Stylish collection Devilman and Akira Fudo! Most of you are probably more used to how Devilman looks today but these 1/6 scale figures immortalize the original image of that Go Nagai brought to us more than 30 years ago that many fans outside of asia probably are unaware of. These figures look like they jumped right out of the original Go Nagai manga from 1972!! Paying homage to the classics, this is quite an impressive set -_^ Go Check out the Gallery!

TAKARA Gallery: Little Girl Lost...

Chalk this one up to me being lazy. I've had her for a while but have been lazy to put her up. I like this one a lot and is I think the best Supergirl figure ever made. Not saying much since there aren't that many out there but I like the metallic blue color scheme Takara gave her and I really dig the face. Now there are some that say that she's too anime looking. Which is true. However since I am an anime fan and am tired of mediocre looking Supergirl heads and expressions I'm glad they went with this approach. She looks damn nice an I like how this one is based off the current version Kara Zor-El.

Ok, I know this isn't the Matrix/Linda Danvers/Angelic version. Personally I liked that one a lot but hey what are you going to do? In 20 years Crisis 3 will give us another Supergirl. Until then however, enjoy this one!

There have been Many interpretations of Kasumi in the figure world. I'd have to say that even with all the Incredible ones out there this one is definetly one of my favorite.

Max Factory has done an Incredible job making this Once Kit only figure a nice Completed PVC statue. It's a Hot piece, Definetly a treat for all Kasumi fans! -_^

KAIYODO Gallery: Chaos Gate has opened!! BOME Vol.13- Ignis

Another Gallery!!! This time it's the lovely Ignis from popular pc game Jingai Makyo. This is the BOME rendition and thus is part of the popular Bome Collection from Kaiyodo. Ignis is vol.13, She's been out in Japan for a month or two now but just released here in the states last week via Diamond for the low price of $24.99 as opposed to the Orig JP SRP of 4500yen.

Ignis is quite the popular gal these days with every figure maker popping out their own versions before the end of the year. This is not surprising as you can see that Ignis is quite a looker. It's no question you'll be seeing a lot of Ignis around these parts in the near future. Want to see what Ignis is all about? Check out the gallery! -_^

BANDAI News: Bleach Characters gets a 4th set!

Bandai shows pictures of the 4th series of the Popular "Bleach Characters" Trading figure collection. Lineup includes Ichigo in regular and Hollow mask version, 9th Division Lt. Shūhei Hisagi, 3rd Division Lt. Izuru Kira and a new version of the ever popular Hitsugaya Toshirou (10th Division captain) unleashing his Bankai Dai Guren Hyōrinmaru!! Lineup is 5 figures which I'm guessing Bandai is being mean again and is making the 2 Ichigos separate figures even though the only difference will be the heads. Although the Ichigos have been the stars of the last 2 sets, I'm guessing Hitsugaya being the most impressive figure in the set this time around will probably be the fan's favorite -_^ Release will be in December and the retail for each figure will be 550yen and boxes of 8 will go for 4400yen
