SHOOT 2 FLY 004: "I Believe it's Called Freeballin'."
Haven't done a shoot 2 Fly in a while so I figure this would make a nice little three picture post. For those who were around collecting at the time Fewture was making really nice action figures that while they weren't super posable or anything were damn nice looking. and had that unique look that only the designer YASUSHI NIRASAWA could give it (how to describe his stuff.... lets say he can put a cute face on an alien/fetished out body with massive human naked tits sticking out. Needless to say he can draw monsters as well. He can draw tits and monsters. God Bless him).
This was about 8-9 years ago and Satan was a regular release in the second series of Devilman: More Than Demon line. But this Satan here was a limited release gold version (as opposed to the translucent blue one). Officially it's called HEAVENS'S AGE GOLD SATAN 666.
I get very nostalgic just talking about it. Enjoy the pix.

FIGMA Gallery: You Say You Want A Revolution?
Lelouch Lamperouge is for sure someone who can ace any test that's in front of him. Although when it comes to physical activities he's not what I'd call a natural athlete. He's not really athletic and that came into play when this gallery was shot. While he does come with a gun he's not Tequila from Hard Boiled. He's not going to do anything fancy and we like to do our galleries that fit the character's personality (you're not going to see Bruce Lee pull off some Jet Li moves in our galleries).
This Lelouch Figma action figure is awesome. I've really been impressed with this line and I can only hope Max Factory does more characters from Code Geass. Hell there are plenty of characters they could do and I'd probably buy all of them.

Gallery Teaser: Lelouch... Fragrance for Men
I don't know why the teaser pic ended up looking like a men’s cologne ad but I'll take it. All I need is some kind of Udo Kier accent when I say "Frayyy-graaaance for Men" to make it sound really sexy... in German.
Anyway now that Cartoon Network has been showing Code Geass for about three weeks now I've noticed more traffic on the older Code Geass galleries.
Good. Because we've got more Code Geass items waiting to hit the site.

Gallery Teaser: There's That Damn Kid Again!
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...

Gallery Teaser: WATAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
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.

REVOLTECH News: HADOUKEN!!!!
WELL WELL WELL!!!
BIG Freaking News!!! FINALLY we've got some Street Fighter Revoltech!!! These figures are based off the Online SF game called Street Fighter Online Mouse Generation.
I can't wait for this. Since it'll be great to have SF toys that can actually pull off the signature moves from the game and make it look good! I love how Ryu can obviously kick above his head.
Anyway I can gush like crazy over my excitement over these figs. We'll post more info on these as we get them but for now enjoy the awesomeness (and below the images are a couple of screen shots of the actual game the figs are based off of).

"I'm Not Fat! I'm Big Boned!!!"
A Teaser pic of 2G Revoltech Oruta Saber has been released. For those who dont know, Oruta Saber is the Dark version of Saber from FSN's Heaven's Feel Scenario. Basically it's a "evil" Saber. Anyway' She is coming. Check out the pic below! As more details become available, You will see them here.
I have to say with all the incredible stuff coming out, It's a Great time to be a Saint Seiya fan!! Saint Cloth Myth is one of the Best Action figure lines in the market today. With their super poseability, Diecast cloths, loads of accessories and anime accurate sculpting it's like a Saint Seiya fan's dream come true!! The ultimate realization of the Saint Seiya characters!
Here we have in what is in my opinion the funnest of the Superman Microman figures. The Cyborg Superman is a very fun toy. I wasn't quite sure at first since this was an all new TAKARA design. Not that I didn't think they would do a good job, but I wasn't sure what approach they would take. Well I was worried over nothing since this figure is incredibly fun and the armor actually stays on - same with his weapons!
One of the Greatest Toys in history has a gallery here. The 200X Raoh and Kokuoh Gou ULTIMATE FINAL BOXSET has to be seen to be believed!! Ever since the introduction of the Hokuto No Ken 200X line we were all waiting for the day Kaiyodo would go all out and make us a Raoh and Kokuoh set in the 200X scale. Well our prayers have been answered!! We did this Gallery awhile back for our ase site www.hokutonokentoy.com (Check it out!) but felt that we have to give Respect to the KENOH and Spread his Legend among all the new visitors of the Newly Launched Henshin Hobby!!
