Hallo, everynyan. Today, Max Factory unveiled more information on a highly-anticipated Figma first unveiled waaaaay back in February. It's...

It seems I spoke a bit too soon yesterday, because another batch of preorders is now going up on the major retailers. The first is a huge and frankly wonderful-looking piece, Good Smile Company's Saber Alter ~Vortigern~!

Today is, to be blunt, a slow news day. I suppose it makes sense, given that Tamashii Nations has come and gone, and most companies have released their late-September releases and preorders. So we're entering that usual dry spell that tends to come e...

Well, I mentioned this in the Tamashii Nations article, but now that the full list has been translated, I figured I'd give it its own article. Remember how TN showed off a bunch of D-arts, from Beelzemon to Mega Man X? Well, they also unveiled a list...

The Sci-Fi Revoltech line has been something of a hit, and the fact that Kaiyodo has just started shipping their October 2010 releases is only supporting that fact. The first of the figures to ship this month would be none other than the terror of Cr...

Oh my. It seems that in all of the Tamashii Nations hype (SRC GAOGAIGAR), a lot of manufacturers have quietly opened up preorders. There's everything from Revoltechs to Nendoroids, so let's take a tour of the new offerings!

If there's one crippling flaw with the S.H. Figuarts line, it's the assortment of characters. Kamen Rider, DBZ, One Piece, and Pretty Cure isn't exactly an incredibly diverse bank of franchises. Well, Bandai is looking to remedy that by adding more f...

As many collectors have felt, the Japanese economy is not in a great state at the moment. At 83 yen to the US dollar as of today, the yen's value is soaring to the point where it's hurting Japanese imports. Remember back in the 90s, when it was aroun...

Kotobukiya's latest plastic model kit certainly brings back memories for me. This old-school-style Mega Man model kit is not only wonderful-looking, but it's also the first non-derpy-looking posable Mega Man!
