GalleryTeaser: Evangelion... **Looks Around** Yep, Still Popular.

Spreading out some trading figure love here are some Evangelion Figure Portrait sets. Look for these sometime soon. You know, it feels like only yesterday I was watching this series on some third generation quality tape.

Ah nostlagia. *sniff*

figuAX Gallery: A Demon, A Super Robot and an Android...

Walk into a bar.

Actually no they don't.

I don't know that joke. Still here we have a figuAX gallery that have several (but not all) Go Nagai characters. All legendary in their own way. You got Devil Man, Sister Jill, Satan and others in 3D glory.

Sadly however, there is no Violence Jack.

SQUARE ENIX Gallery: He Shall Overcome Great Angst!

I have a soft spot in my heart for Final Fantasy, more specifically Final Fantasy VII. Maybe it's pure nostalgia to a simpler time I don't know but every time I see Cloud I can't help but smile a little bit.

Now while I'm pimping just Cloud this isn't an FF VII set. This set includes several mini-characters that span several FF games (sadly no evil octopus). Rinoa, Penelo, Van & Yuna are also represented in this set and they look great (especially Yuna).

Enjoy the Gallery and thanks for looking!

Gallery Teaser: Darkside of the Devilman...

Actually it's more of a Go Nagai thing than just a Devilman thing but couldn't think of a Go Nagai pun. Yep, well is dry on that one.

This is one of my favorite Trading Figure busts sets.It doesn't just have Devilman as Cutey Honey, Getter are accounted of as well. Expect this gallery soon.

Gallery Teaser: Final Angstasy VII

I'm not a huge fan of angst myself but I do have strong, strong nostalgia for this game. Back to a time when PS one ruled the world and I was living off pizza. Good times. Expect to see this Cloud and his buddies on this blog soon.

Now that I think about it I haven't seen "Knights of the Round" in years. Good thing we have youtube. And just like that the vid is right below. Oh yeah I should mention that it's a long one so let it load. ^_-

Bandai Gallery: Lelouch's Cape is Cooler Than Batman's

Well it is cooler. Deal with it :)

Anyway here in my opinion is one of the nicest looking releases of Code Geass merchandise out there. These are the EX Portraits trading figures from BANDAI. It's a great looking set fitting a great series.

Enjoy!

BANDAI: Gintama Mini-Voice Idol Gallery



NEW GALLERY! Gintama Voice Idol gallery!

I LOVE Gintama, especially Gintoki! This is a great set! I couldn't help but keep pressing those buttons. SUGITA-sama!!!!!!!!!! XD Koyasu is hilarious too of course, but Sugita is the man for me since he was also Kyon from Haruhi ahahahha.... cough. Anyways, for any seiyuu fan, and Gintama fan, this is a great set! Take a look at the gallery!

Gallery Teaser: The Magic Word is "Parfait"

I know, the first Gintama Gallery hasn't been posted. To make a long story short we were about to post it up but we added some more figures to it so now the gallery will have both Chibi-Voice sets one and two.

Good stuff huh? I wish more was out there for this series. It's damn hilarious.

GalleryTeaser: "I've got the Brains..."

"...You've got the brawn. Lets make lots of money".

Well, these two aren't in it for the money that's for sure. They're prize is much, much grander.

Wow, with all these Code Geass teasers you'd think that we'd be up to something.



October 16, 2007

Gallery Teaser: Capes are Cool

Nope, this has nothing to do with Superman.


And the image below isn't a soldier from the movie KRULL either. It's an image from a new trading figure set from the ever popular Code Geass.





Also below is the second opening of the show. Feel free to sing along and murder the song in the process (although be kind and do it away from others. Pets included).

October 04, 2007

Gallery Teaser: He loves Manga and Sweets....

With qualifications like those he could get a job at henshinhobby.com. He's also very lazy (again a perfect fit for here).

Expect to see Gintoki and his equally "unique" cast soon (and to familiarize yourself with him attached is the show opening courtesy of youtube. The song kicks ass to. Thank me later).

Popy Gallery: (ショッカー) Shocker Zukkoke Operation!!

Well this is a nice addition. This is our first Popy gallery on the site which is pretty cool in my eyes. What makes it even more special is that it's a Popy gallery of trading figures. Figures of what? Shocker soldiers that's what!!

You have your Storm Troopers, Clones Troopers, Galactic Marines, Cobra, Hive Agents, Parademons, Monarch butterflies... all pale in comparison to the shocker soldiers. Don't let their appearance fool you, their mean, murderous little buggers.

But sometimes... they have bad days to. A lot of bad days. Killing Kamen Rider's has never been an easy thing you know.

Gallery Teaser: They Can't all be Galactic Marines



Seriously.



Henchmen or Galactic Marines.... Henchmen or Galactic Marines...

BANDAI Gallery: All the Romance and Drama of the Meiji era in only 1/12 the size!


New Gallery up!!! After several series of trading figures by Rement and Yamato over the past 10 yrs, Bandai decides they want to do a line of Kenshin Trading figures as well.The result is quite good. I hope to see a set 2 but who knows. After checking out this gallery I'm hoping you all feel the same, Enjoy!

NOTE: Before you guys start flooding my email with complaints, I already know that the secret figure is missing in this gallery. I hope to add him in a later date. 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

Please click the thumbnails for bigger picture :D

    ALTER Gallery: Last Exile in the Bottle

    HOKUTO NO KEN News: The 64th Hokuto Shin Ken Successor Makes his Debut!

    Ryuuken… The Master is here!

    Finally, after several waves and repaints of the SEGA catcher figures we finally have Ryuuken. The only man who ever handed Raoh his ass. Yes you read that sentence correctly. In many movies, TV series and comics there has been the “old master” character. It’s a staple of the martial arts genre. But Ryuuken is above them all. Whether you call him Ramon Kasumi or Ryuuken just know that he’s a Hokuto Shin Ken successor and that makes him one bad dude. He’s the only new figure in the latest series.

    The figures in this latest wave are:

    Ryuuken (New Figure), Raoh (Repaint), Toki (Repaint), Kenshiro (Repaint) and Uighur (Repaint)

    The figures are 1000 Yen each and with a release date of April

    BANDAI News: Bleach Characters gets a 4th set!

    Bandai shows pictures of the 4th series of the Popular "Bleach Characters" Trading figure collection. Lineup includes Ichigo in regular and Hollow mask version, 9th Division Lt. Shūhei Hisagi, 3rd Division Lt. Izuru Kira and a new version of the ever popular Hitsugaya Toshirou (10th Division captain) unleashing his Bankai Dai Guren Hyōrinmaru!! Lineup is 5 figures which I'm guessing Bandai is being mean again and is making the 2 Ichigos separate figures even though the only difference will be the heads. Although the Ichigos have been the stars of the last 2 sets, I'm guessing Hitsugaya being the most impressive figure in the set this time around will probably be the fan's favorite -_^ Release will be in December and the retail for each figure will be 550yen and boxes of 8 will go for 4400yen

    HOT TOYS Gallery: Superman Collector Diorama

    Gotta love customs. And when I mean customs I don't mean the cool things like toy customs like those awesome Kamen Rider human heads for the Kamen Rider Medicom. I mean the customs that cruelly holds on to our toys before we can get our grubby hands on them. Yep, talking about good 'old U.S. Customs. Still, I'm glad I got my stuff -even if I should have had it a week ago!

    One of the things I'm glad came is the Hot Toys Superman diorama's. They look incredible up close and was surprised by how hard the plastic was. It was easy to put together. It's amazing what a great job Hot Toys did with nailing the likeness of Superman actor Brandon Routh. Honestly it's insane how great these things look yet the more expensive DC Direct stuff doesn't even look half as good. *sigh*

    Anyway before I burn a bridge so far high Rao could see it I'll just move on. With that said please feel free to click on the gallery below.

    FULL GALLERY HERE.

    KONAMI News: Kiss of Prince


    Konbanwa Minna-san~ Misa Misa desu~ <3

    Our new lucky toy featured in our toy news blog is from ever popular series, Tennis no Oujisama!

    Konami expands their Popular Figumate Line this Dec/Jan with Tennis no Oujisama (Prince of Tennis) Edition Figumates!!! First up in December is the Special Prince Box XMAS sets, 2 will be available!

    Pure White Includes Echizen Ryoma Figumate and Pure Blue Includes Atobe Keigo. Both special Xmas sets will include 8 Bromides, 1 Bromide Display folder, 1 Trading card, 1 Special Present and 1 Figumate. Next up in January will be the Vol.1 POT collection. 5 Figumates to add to your collection! Lineup is a dream for all you POT Fans, Echizen Ryoma, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Fuji Shusuke , Atobe Keigo and Kirihara Akaya. It is unknown whether there will be a Secret figure yet but it is a possiblity.

    Personally, I'm quite surprised that the first line up is pretty much all popular characters. Though of course other characters are just as popular, the main three most popular Seigaku is in the first line up as well as, Atobe, quite possibly one of the most popular character next to all the Seigaku regulars. And of course, Kirihara represents one of the three main influential characters from one of the latest storyline's opposing team in Prince of Tennis.

    Similiar to Pinky Street or Character Studio series. Figumate is a series of figures that are in stylish SD form. Which means! They have interchangeable parts that you can change their clothing and their accessories with each other! It's kinda like the PVC dress up doll but without cloth clothing. Basically, you can get your Tezuka and Atobe to switch their unfirms and such. If you bought other Figumate figures, you can get MORE outfits for them to wear. o.O;

    Xmas special Prince Box sets will be available in DEC for the Price of 2500yen each and the Single Figumates will be available in JAN for the Price of 420yen each or 4200yen for a box of 10. Blindbox rules do apply to the Single Pack figumates -_^
