Up today is one of my favorite pieces from Medicom's stylish line. This is Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. This is also the 2nd version of Spike Medicom released and looks l;ike 100 times better than the first time they did him. He was released to coincide with the release of the Bebop Movie several yrs back. Great Underated piece! BANG!

Seems the 1/6 scale figures are quite popular these days. As Venom would Prove here, it's like the Best Poison in the world. Well anyway here we have the Venom Medicom 1/6 figure. He's based on the Todd version of Venom and looks quite sinister if I might add..!

Icons. Everyone throws that word around very easily. Whether it’s because of fanatical character worship or used to prove a point in an argument I can say that today's entry is an Icon. Is he a horror Icon? Sure, but I think it's fair to say that he goes beyond that and is indeed a cinematic Icon. I'm a huge fan of this movie as my fellow blogger Kabuto here would attest to as I've made him watch several versions of this movie (hey its a public domain movie and lots of DVD's to go through to be able to find the best one. Which are the KINO and Image DVD's btw). I missed out the first time Sideshow sold the standard version, however I was lucky enough to get him as a Silver Screen Edition. I am still on the fence when it comes to Sideshow 12” but I really dig their Premium Format items.
Well enough babble! Enjoy the pictures!

Well I said I'd be back didn't I? Well I can't very well spend all this money on Superman 1/6 figures without having SOME opinion about them (just an FYI - I buy multiple figs. I do that for virtually everything I collect). I always planned on having a page like this the moment I heard that several companies were going to take their shot at a Superman Returns 12". Well I finally got the Medicom so now I was able to put this page together.
As for why I've done this it's fairly simple. I haven't seen anyone else do it, at least like this. Lots of Batman comparisons with all the Batman Begins dolls out there but not many for Superman. Hence forth here is this page. It visually breaks down each figure, why visual? Well nine times out of ten pictures tend to speak for themselves, why ruin it with tons of sarcasm and bad puns? That Doesn't mean that I don't give a brief rundown of each one however. I definitely have an opinion on all three.
Enough talk, please click the image below and enjoy!

For those of you who in the know it's a well known fact that this site/blog grew from the Hokutonokentoy.com. And well before THAT there was a little prequel called Souten No Ken aka Fist of the Blue Sky. Back in 2001 there was supposed to be an anime but it just didn't pan out. Five years later and here it finally here. I cannot stress how BADLY I - WE'VE been waiting for this TV show. And now finally its here!! Anyway here you go, check out the opening of the show! After all if it weren't for Tetsuo Hara's creation there would be no web site from your truly!
Kotobukiya probably gave us the Best Inuyasha figures ever. Too bad they only did 5 in the end. Here's a Gallery of the first one, None other than our Hero himself!. And as you guessed it, There's more to come...
Check it out here!

More powerful than a.... Nevermind. Well it took me long enough but I finally got it (as if there would ever be any doubt). I didn't know what to expect since the buzz on this wasn't that good. It hasn't been good since the first image of it came out months ago. Out of all the three 1/6 scale dolls (ok ok - FOUR if you include the Ken Doll version) the Medicom release generates the most opinions. I have my own feelings on this doll and I'll express those next time.
However to the business at hand here is the Superman Returns Medicom gallery.

I know it's taken me a while but here is CG picture of Rei Ayanami. The doll used for this was the Rei Ayanami plug suit version.
