Figure Review: Polynian MMM Shamrock
When I first saw the Polynian MMM Shamrock robot figure by Daibadi I knew I had to have him, but unfortunately at that time he was only available in resin kit form and already sold out. Luckily, Daibadi released a more user-friendly ABS version in August 2015 and I was able to get my hands […]
One Piece Mugiwara Store in Shibuya, Tokyo
My wife and I had the luxury to visit Japan for the first time and being a big One Piece fan myself visiting the Mugiwara Store was top on the agenda. We went to Tokyo and Osaka’s Mugiwara Store, two in Tokyo and one in Osaka. In this post I am solely focusing on the […]
Posable dolls and models for artists
Drawing dynamic poses and unique angles is always daunting, specially with no reference materials it can be difficult for those of us with little experience in those fields. There are plenty of art books discussing the methods for drawing perspective with buildings and anatomy, and don’t get me wrong these are a must read for beginners […]
Kappa WeGo from Sentinel – The Best Toy You Didn’t Know You Need!
The minuscule 1/35 scale Mechatro WeGo toys from Sentinel may seem like they’re too expensive for their 7.5cm height at around 3500yen give or take, but they really are some of the most fun toys going around right now! Now these stupidly fun little buggers are available for order now in a Kappa variant. The […]
Kingdom Hearts 2 Riku from Play Arts Kai
In addition to the Halloween Town Sora, KH2’s Riku is also on the way from Play Arts Kai. Accessories include a Keyblade and some extra hands. It’s a pretty spot-on sculpt, and they’ve managed to keep these nice and clean instead of the weird glossy stone-faces a lot of PAK figures have. Another one for the […]
Megahouse announces Dragon Ball Gals – Bulma Bunny Girl Ver.
She’s been there since the very beginning of Dragon Ball, so this new statue of the #1 Pichi Pichi Gal in the Dragon Ball universe is pretty tempting! Drawing inspiration from the very first series, in her bunny girl outfit and not leaving a whole lot to the imagination, Megahouse’s Bulma stands 19cm tall and is […]

One Punch Man Goes Chibi with Nendoroid Saitama!
Shown off on Goodsmile’s Kahotan’s blog, this Nendoroid of One Punch Man himself is just too good! One Punch man has got to be one of the funniest series I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m enjoying it a stupid amount. Coming with his standard spacey expressions and a serious battle face, crossed arms […]
