Well, I give it to Medicom, they're constantly improving their products. I really liked the old RH220 line from back then except the QC more than killed the fun of collecting them. After a hiatus they've gone back to the RH220 line and I can say that everything is good. They've recently announced their new RAH220 No.51, which happens to be X-Rider.

This looks damn good, I MIGHT be tempted to get it. Why am I not 100% positive about it? Easy, I'm broke. That'll be our little secret.

Retail 10,290 Yen and the release date is December of 2007.

Well no, not really.

But I am with something different. Ever since we did the Bruce Gallery I thought to myself, how else can we evolve the approach in what we do? Well, I decided to make a little Video Gallery of the Bruce Medicom pictures. The response for the gallery has been awesome and with this we hope we can get our name even more out there. That and it's cool to work on. Anyway true believers (what, Stan Lee is the only guy allowed to say that?!) Enjoy the show.

"Mr. Lee, Why You No Wear Uniform?!"

Rites of passage.

We all go through them several times in our lives. Different things and events can trigger these moments, especially when you're a little kid. Some little kids go through it when they find out that certain heart felt truths aren't true at all. For some kids it can be something like finding out that Santa Clause isn't real. It's quite the blow for the little ones out there realizing that. For me, it was finding out that Bruce Lee was dead. Not only was he dead, but he died before I was born. It was quite sobering. I was little, watched every martial arts movie my dad was able to get with his EROLS card and to this day I remember that the first EVER VHS movie my dad ever rented was The Chinese Connection (which in reality was Fist of Fury, but you already know about that story). I was little and I saw "Bruce" everywhere. Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Dragon Lee (oh God was he awesome and terrible. He was Awerrible) and I thought the guy was in a billion movies. Needless to say I learned a lot about Bruce over time. Who he was, what he believed, what he did and what he didn't do. I even did a portrait of him for my illustration class final. It's quite obvious that his charismatic hold on me never waned.

Flash forward to October of 2006. ENTERBAY had knocked everyone out with their-then upcoming line of Bruce Lee one-sixth figures. It literally was the talk of the one-sixth community. Whether it was good, bad, overpriced, it didn't matter as the buzz on it was more than good or bad comments could smother.

After months of teasing, we finally have info and the first pics of Kotobukiya's Master Chief PVC figure kit. It'll retail for 9800 Yen ($83) and measures in at 300mm, or 11 3/4 inches tall! Even better he comes with at least two optional weapons, double-wielding Magnums or the ever-popular Energy Sword! I'm sure details for US release will be available shortly. Personally as a Halo-fan, this piece is a must get!

Now if only they do a red Spartan . . .

Yo!

You know, I don’t want to start off by saying it’s about damn time, but it’s about damn time. I’ve been waiting for this sequel for a while now and finally we have it confirmed and with pictures (I would have updated this sooner but hey, I’ve been busy with a gallery). As you can see with the picture below V3 is in the movie and if the actor playing Kazami Shiro looks familiar he should. That’s Kazuki Kato who’s fresh off of playing Daisuke Kazuma from Kamen Rider Kabuto (playing Kamen Rdier Drake) and Kikawada Masaya and Takano Hassei will return to reprise their roles of Hongo Takeshi and Ichimonji Hayato as Kamen Riders #1 and #2 respectively.

While I’m a big fan of the classics and the new V3 look (and for the moment, no Rider Man) but I’m more excited about Kamen Rider #1’s new look. It’s a modernized take of the Sakurajima version. It’s a little bit bluer and a little bit darker with redder eyes and boy, do I love that look (and of course all three of those will make sweet Medicoms!).

Expect this to hit theaters this fall.

Yo!

We've got some galleries coming out soon; a Ginko, a vertically challenged white haired dude by the name of Hitsugaya, an accursed arachnid and a one-sixth that has one hell of a large gallery. I mean seriously, goddamn it's huge. Tendou and I are still working on it in fact. *sigh*

Anyway, there is also the ENTERBAY "Way of the Dragon" Bruce Lee coming out relatively soon (I'll let you guys define "relatively soon"). I thought I'd post this image that came out last year that showed several one-sixth from ENTERBAY. I wonder how much different the released versions will be to the image below...

UPDATE: The Way of the Dragon Bruce Lee is now out in HK. Hope you pre-ordered yours!

As some of you may or may not know we here at Henshinhobby.com are huge Donnie Yen fans (those who aren't will be fired immediately) and any new project of his is enough to get us excited. Here is the second trailer for the recent Donnie Yen, Wilson Yip collaboration, the movie with many names, Flash Point.

Needless to say it looks awesome and why there isn't a Donnie Yen one-sixth out there (a more recent one) I'll never know. The man deserves one (just imagine the galleries we could do!). Enough babbling from me here's the trailer for Flash Point
