TRAILER: We Will Destroy The Rebirth
This one is a bit late too but hell with the announcement of Setsuna BM, this calls for a celebration!!! Behold the Trailer for Gundam 00 Season 2!!!
TRAILER: Believe In Me Who Believes In You
Finally it's Here!!!! Yeah I know I should have updated it a few days ago but Hell Yeah It's Here!!!! The Trailer for the first of 2 Gurren Lagann Theatrical Movies!!! Gurren Chapter!!!!
BM PROJECT: I'll Keep Looking For It, Together With My Gundam
Setsuna will be available for preorder beginning on the 29th of this month at the official Tamashii site, here!
Bandai has finally unveiled what one of the main reasons for starting the BM line of 1/6 figures, To do 1/6 figures of characters from Gundam series of course! To celebrate the launch of their new Tamashii webshop Bandai is offering a very special Exclusive for all you Gundam 00 fans!! a 1/6 BM Figure of our Main Hero Setsuna F. Seiei!! Setsuna will be a web exclusive and will be ready for online orders between the dates of July 29, 2008 - September 3, 2008. Price is set at 17,640yen and he will ship in September. Although it's not insanely short, it's Not a very long window either, so any of you guys or gals who want to add Setsuna to your 1/6 collection should jump on this ASAP before the window passes.
Does this mean we'll get all 4 Gundam Meisters?? If anything I wonder if we'll get Setsuna (Age 21) Season 2 version announcement to coincide with the highly anticipated premiere of 00 Season 2?? My only complaint will be that it seems that Season 1 Setsuna uses the standard RAH301 Body which will make the season 2 version out of scale is they were to do it, unless this Setsuna will be a bit shorter when he's released. I really don't want the 2 Setsunas to be the same height. Anyway I sure hope we see more Gundam characters soon and not just 00 but from all Gundam series. This announcement has open the door to many possibilities. I knew it was inevitable we would get BM Gundam characters eventually. With so many Great licenses under Bandai's belt the possiblities for the future of BM are endless and Gundam is a Bandai Staple so I am sure we can expect BIG things from BM in the future.

Tendou @ The Theater: Tendou just saw The DARK KNIGHT (ダークナイト) at the Midnight showing in his local theater and...
It was FUCKING AWESOME. Now I am normally not a Batman fan but Man this Movie Kicked So Much Ass that I even feel compelled to write about it. If you have not seen this movie yet, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go see it as soon as you can cause definetly if you plan on seeing only one movie this summer then make this the movie to see. I can't even begin to describe the greatness of this film. The Complexity, the acting, the screenplay, the strong themes, the mood, hell even the Soundtrack Kicked Ass and to top it all off I normally don't care about Batman that much. I only thought Batman Begins was a pretty good movie and was expecting the Dark Knight to be just a notch above but man who knew that I would be blown away so much!!! The Dark Knight is Leaps and Bounds and Universes above it's predecessor. It was everything a sequel should be and MORE, A WHOLE LOT FUCKING MORE. Oh My God I don't even know where to begin. If you have not seen it yet and you're a fan of Comic book films, then you really need to go and make time to see it.
The only thing is now, if Nolan plans to do a third film I am really not sure how he could possibly top this one and I really don't know what villain he could use next that can even touch the portrayal of Joker in this film. The Joker in this film was just Perfect, the Best rendition of Joker ever PERIOD, Comic, Cartoon, Film it doesn't matter. Ledger plays a Complete Anarchist who loves to see people in pain with absolutely no moral limitations whatsoever. It''s all the Best Jokers over the years fused together and refined. He plays it so convincingly well with great character and charisma. Such a dominant and charismatic villain that I am not sure it can possibly be topped and that's saying a lot cause I normally don't care for Joker much as a character at all and always found him too gimmicky and silly for the most part but this movie has really changed my perception. Aside from the unrivaled Joker performance the Rest of the Movie is Incredible as well. I would go as far as to say that the plot and character relationships in this film make it the most complex and ambitious Comic Book movie ever. There is so much going on and you'd think that normally, having so much go on at once would make for a disaster of a film but they make it work really well. Hell they make it a masterpiece. The themes are very strong and are expressed very solid throughout the film which is very important and makes the film that much better.
The reviews were overwhelmingly positive but I always just kinda assumed that it was because everyone are such huge Batman and Joker fans and that people just love Batman Begins and would naturally love the sequel. I really didn't know what to expect and I went in without much expectation and now I am just speechless at how great a film it was.
Man enough of me talking, you just gotta go see it.

Photos by Tendou
NEW GALLERY UP!!! The Bust of the Millenium!!!!!!!!
One of the Hottest recent figure releases from MAX Factory and the 4th figure in their Kinu Nishimura Collection. Originally released as a Resin Kit (Aren't they all?) This Mai based on Nishimura Kinu's Artwork has definetly wowed many fans despite having so many different figures in the market. Safe to say, Mai Has become a staple in collections of Video Game Heroines. To Be Honest I've never been a huge fan of this particular artwork of Mai but The Sculptor Hamasaki Takeshi has done an incredible job bringing the illustration to life at the same time adding that special "touch" that has won me over. Now I'm all about this version, Enjoy checking one of the Finest Mai Figures released in years.

It's just a Blue Kenshin variant but it's still part of the set. I apoligize to all of you who were hoping to check out that figure. I missed it during shooting and will expand this gallery with that figure added at a later date. Again I apoligize. -Tendou

KAIYODO News: The Next Evolution of Revoltech..
No one can Deny that the Revoltech line has made a big impression since it's release and many fans are adding these dynamically engineered figure works on their shelves and showcases. With over 30 figures in the Yamaguchi line and a really strong start in the non Yamaguchi line with Big names like Saber from Fate Stay/Night and Yotsuba from Yotsubato! The Revoltech craze is only getting Bigger with no signs of slowing down. Well Kaiyodo being the Toy Pioneers they are , want to up the ante even more pushing the Revoltech Technology even further.
Enter the new Revoltech Female base body, Powered by Revoltech. This new Female base is the next step for Revoltech. Utilizing the Revoltech joints to the max This new base body retains all the shape and form of the female body with the insane dynamic engineering of the Revolver Joints. Just looks at the pics, Not only does it have keep that Sexy Female form, The Revolver joints on the main body are all hidden and it can achieve super lifelike poses!!
Back at Toyfair 07 I was told by My friend at Organic that a Revoltech Rei and Asuka were in the works, After the announcements of Saber and Yotsuba I was kinda wondering if they forgot about our EVA heroines, Iasked him again a couple of weeks ago at SDCC and he just sorta smiled. Then the news of this new base body is revealed and who's the first figure in the Line? None other than The Iconic Ayanami Rei herself!!! More details of this body will certainly be revealed at Wonderfest this weekend!! The details will of course be posted here!
