There he is again!!!
Always making noise with that damn bike of his! Think he's so cool with that bike... that jacket with the pill on it... ARRGG!!!
Always smirkin'! Like he's afraid of NOTHING! Always fighting that fat kid with the clown make-up! Make a man want to call the cops!
Just take a look at this kid and his bike to see what I'm bitchin' about.
He is the alpha and the omega.
The begining and the end.
An eons old mutant of immense power.
He's the next Marvel Legendary scale bust.
And he looks like Mr. Sinister let one rip right in front of him (no wonder they call him Mr. Sinister). Jeez that's the most ridiculous (and by extension) hilarious face sculpt for Apocalypse I've ever seen.
Sideshow, in a very high percentage hits their Marvel products out of the park but this one looks... hell see for yourself.
It's a bit late I know but for those of you who don't follow BM Project has revealed more detailed images of Lelouch as Zero based on his new look from the 2nd season Code Geass R2.The images look great and out of all the Medicom announcements this month I am most excited about this one. Zero wil be released in September and will retail for 16,800yen. All you Code Geass fans don't forget to watch the Premiere of Code Geass R2 Next Sunday April 6, 2008!!!
Peace Out!!
I figure I'd share with you guys the skinny on what's being clicked on the most on this site. So without further ado here are the pages you, my peeps, are clicking,
These are in order btw.
MEGAHOUSE SIMCA
ENTERBAY GAME OF DEATH BRUCE LEE
MEGAHOUSE HANAKO
MEDICOM REI AYANAMI
MEDICOM KAMEN RIDER - THE FIRST
KOTOBUKIYA NINJA GAIDEN RACHEL
MEGAHOUSE RINGO
MEDICOM ENTER THE DRAGON BRUCE LEE
SQUARE ENIX CLOUD MASTER ARTS
MEGAHOUSE MIZUKI
GRIFFON RYOFU HOUSEN
So to summarize, the big hits on this site are legendary Asians, masked hero's and big tits. I can live with that and also we DO plan on re-taking the MIZUKI gallery.
Odds are she'd look like this. Well Hopefully anyway. Then again she's a fictional character (sorry guys) so odds are artists can make her look as hot as they want to. I think it's called "artistic license".
Which is great because if she were hideous she sure as hell wouldn't be on this site but fortunately for us she is. Speaking of artists, I'm sure you can tell by the look of it who sculpted Rei. I'm sure you can figure it out. Regardless of whether you can figure it out or not, please enjoy this gallery!
So this isn't really new news for those who look at import items but this is the first ad we've seen of The Kamen Rider Black Medicom. And in the ad he's doing his trademark pose. Man I am literally jumping up and down as this piece is a long time coming. I've been waiting for this DX release for years. Years.
It should also be noted that Shadow Moon is the mail away. Just thought you'd might want to know that. Some might find that bit of news... important.
What's my take? I want two of them. Let me clarify, I want two of each (who really needs a new suit, shoes a haircut... soap).
KAMEN RIDER BLACK: 17,640 YEN (177.11 USD)
Street Date: October 2008
The world simply doesn't have enough ALIEN merchandise. I've come to accept that now. Medicom hasn't done one in years so I guess it's time for them to pop out another. This one though takes us back to the first Ridley Scott ALIEN movie that started it all. This ALIEN is the obviously H.R. Giger designed one. You can tell because it looks like a huge cock from the profile (you can't miss it).
Looks great from the image but I think I'm still "Alien-ed out" at the moment.
Just remember, in space no one can hear you (or your wallet) scream.
ALIEN: 18,900 YEN (189.76 USD)
Street Date: October 2008
Well this is a nice surprise!
Seems like everyone and their mom is doing Indiana Jones Merchandise. You have great companies lke Kotobukiya and Sideshow working hard to make quality Indy items and now you can add Medicom to the list.
Medicom has not one but TWO one-sixth to offer us. They have Indy with several accessories that span the first three movies (including the Holy Grail from my fav Indy Flick, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Looking at him I LOVE the expression, the clothing and again the Medi is great at making postures and poses look natural.
His dad, Professor Henry Jones looks great right down to the facial hair color. He comes with his brief case and his trusty umbrella. I would have liked to have seen him come with the dairy (which was so vital in Indy Three) but that's only a minor gripe.
At least from the look of the ads these look great. Which Indy toy (err... "collectible") is right for you? Who knows but I love having the option to choose.
I know which one I'll get and I WON'T choose poorly. :)
Indiana Jones: 17,640 YEN
(177.11 USD)
Street Date: August 2008
Professor Henry Jones: 17,640 YEN
(177.11 USD)
Street Date: August 2008
EDIT: This is great news and it totally makes up for that terrible Mr. Bean News we heard a couple of days ago.

Yeah I know I keep using the same damn Background but it's right behind my place, so yeah it's convenient but hey don't worry I'm gonna have some Hot new backgrounds for you giuys soon! In the meantime check out Harumichi in all his GARness. This is a shout out to all you CROWS x WORST fans out there. New S.W.R. Ver. Powered by ORGANIC.
Peace Out!!
Sure I could say a lot but you all know who this is already don't you?
Of course you do. Worry not young padawans. You'll get your taste of "you know who" and you'll thank us for it later.
Soon chico, very soon.
EDIT: Ok Off topic, MR. Bean?! ENTERBAY is doing Mr. Bean? No Donnie Yen, no Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fat but Mr. Bean. Seriously who can I bribe to get these guys done? That's my disappointment for the week and the week ain't even over yet (and you know I’m serious when I break out fictional words like “ain’t”).
For the non-Brits in the audience, Mr. Bean is a character created by famous British comedian Rowan Atkinson, described as a child in a man's body. Mr. Bean has been hailed as a modern Charlie Chapman for his silent, highly physical comedic style. In 1991 Mr. Bean won the prestigious Golden Rose, the highest honor in the Rose d'Or Festival entertainment awards.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of Rowan Atkinson from his Black Adder series (#16 on the BFI list of best Brit Coms.) I will get this for my 1/6 collection if only for that.
Behold the Man Who Is Bean
In a move that I can only describe as shocking, Enterbay has announced that they will be releasing a 1/6 Mr. Bean in their Real Masterpiece collection. All we know right now is he will, of course, come with Teddy. No word on any firecrackers at this time. Probably looking at something in the $150-200 range
That punk and his bike. Thinks he's soooo cool with it. Big loud bike! IIt's not just a bike either, it's HUGE. It's about the size of a car. A slick looking, loud bike that wakes up the neighborhood each time he turns it on!!
No wonder I need booze to put myself to sleep...
The servant of Morgoth, terror of the First Age, and Bane of the Fellowship has arrived.
"The flames roared up to greet it, and wreathed about it; and a black smoke swirled in the air. Its streaming mane kindled, and blazed behind it."
Click warily my friends. Click warily...

An Older piece today. Kinda brings back memories. Decided to shoot it. All AKIRA fans Enjoy!!
Check out the Gallery.
You know at first I planned on doing this update with fancy Tolkien english but really who are we kidding?
Eh, why not?
Hark, I witness a gallery of a subject most foul and large in it's decrepit darkness.
Ok I'm done.
Ok.
Ok.
I was wrong when I first put up the teaser to this. I should have paid attention. It's not cat ears she's wearing... but horns. And no not horns in the sexy demon/hentai sense of the word. But horns as in cows... and yeah, so there. Anyway this is Hanako from TSUKASA BULLET.
Doesn't mean I take back what I said about cat ears.
Anyway enjoy this gallery and please Only click on this if you are 18 and Over.

Today's gallery is of the Lovely Aya from the Onee Chan Bara series of games. Aya is one Bad Ass Female Zombie Killer you wouldn't want to mess with.
Check out the Gallery.
HELL YEAH!!!
Back when there was no real US toy market worth talking about (outside of Beast Wars) Kaiyodo was literally reinventing the action figure wheel with the Hokuto No Ken line. Back then for me and others it was import toys or nothing.
Hokuto no Ken set the bar for action figures and as I've said before if there was no Hokuto No Ken there would be no Henshinhobby.com.
So now you know what to blame.
Meow Meow Meow ...
I'll stop now. I'll be the first to say that I hate cat ears on people. Seriously whenever I see some dude wear them it takes all of my strength to not smack said douche' upside the head (it's the same issues I have with popped collars... tribal tattoo's... guys who wear fedora's and trench coats at comic book stores.... people who take the skin off fried chicken.... I could go on is what I'm saying).
Although if you're a girl I don't mind as much. It's expected to see that at a con. On the bright side this new MEGAHOUSE CORE gallery should be up sometime soon. While yes she has cat ears she also has big boobs. The boobs make-up for the cat ears I think.
Obviously someone is or else they wouldn't be making this. What is this you ask? Why it's the Jay Chou one-sixth from Enterbay! God forbid they do a Donnie Yen one-sixth but hey what do I know, I'm just a consumer.
Here's some info on it (and I don't hate Jay Chou. Seriously the last time I posted about Jay the site got a big jump. Can't hate someone who brings THAT many hits to the site. Onto the 411...)
"2007 JVR Music International Ltd. All rights reserved.Retail Price is $ 899 HKD
This version (Version A) will be release in Hong Kong in May.Another version B (Cow Boy Version), which also release in May.
All styles are designed by Jay."
Designed by Jay?
Don't know why but that line reminds of the "you know it's safe because it's been tested on animals" bit. Anyway to further annoy my patient audience enjoy these images and of course a Jay Chou video (which apes 300 big time).
But we finally have Belldandy.here. Not that we don't have enough Belldandy in the toy stash of Henshin Hobby but we've never put this lovely icon on the site. It's been years since I first saw this on VHS and this piece gives me a certain sense of nostalgia before bills, work, stress. You know all the grown up crap we have to deal with.
Regardless I enjoyed working on the pix of this statue. Hopefully we'll put more Belldandy stuff up. Until then enjoy the gallery.
Wait wait...
Oh it's just been pushed back till April 3, 2009.
Crap. Hoping it was cancelled. Crap again.
I really don't know who's looking forward to this. The movie anime chum-line will of course bring in some people with various degrees of expectations. Mine are pretty goddamn low and I don't want to hear the typical "this movie is it's own thing". I heard that garbage before a decade ago and last time I checked Godzilla 1998 still sucked.
Ain't looking forward to this (and you know I’m serious when I break out fictional words like “ain’t”).
Doesn't sound strange to me in the least.
Hey if you live long enough you get to see some fights you'd never thought you'd see. This is one of them thanks to the people at Sideshow. I guess that teaser image doesn't really hide anything now does it?
And off topic, I really should post up an actual gallery one of these days.
Kids these days. Riding around in their super charged bikes. Think they own the place. And this kid, he's the worst of the bunch I tells ya. Always bosing around that kid with the big forehead.
Expect this biker punk to show up on this site.
