Don't Laugh Tony Stark, Iron Patriot Rox Too (Look What I Got 2014-05-19)


Armed and ready! The Eagle has landed!

Last week, I finally got my 2nd Diecast MMS - the Iron Patriot Movie Masterpiece by Hot Toys. I got it from my usual source of collectibles - Figmation. It's great that the owner gave me the honor of having one from the 1st batch of delivery and I get to enjoy the figure early. Join me in the unboxing.

This Gladiator Looks So Lovely In Figuarts ZERO


Just about a week ago, we get to see the prototype of this figure from the Tamashii Nations Summer Collection 2014 event. Today, the official promo shots of Figuarts ZERO - Rebecca had made it online. We can now get a full view of the beauty of this figure. As I have guessed, it seems that it will come with helmeted and unhelmeted head as what is apparent on these photos. And I am pleased to say that the unhelmeted head is so lovely.

Ready to Face Doflamingo and Fujitora


The third POP version of Trafalgar Law has already been out for preorder since last Wednesday (check out the preorder announcement here), along with POP CB-EX - Momonosuke. While Momonosuke is set as an August 2014 release, POP Sailing Again - Trafalgar Law Ver 2 is slated to be released on September 2014 for 8,800 yen (tax inclusive). 

The Prideful Samurai Kid of Wano Country


As soon as the preorders for POP CB-EX - Momonosuke opened two days ago (see the preorder announcement here), the official promo shots of the Samurai kid from Wano Country made it's way to the internet via online hobby shops and via Megahobby Station. So we get to see what a small POP can offer us aside from the figure itself.

The Copycat from the Generation of Miracles


Have you secured a copy of the copycat? Kuroko No Basuke Figure Series - Ryōta Kise had gone up for preorder last Wednesday (see the preorder announcement here). Again, I was surprised that most of Japanese based hobby shops has declared sold out during the first hour. Same thing happened when Kagami had opened for preorder. This only proves that there's a lot of fans of the show.

A Super Saiyan In Da House (Look What I Got 2014-05-15)


I just got my Figuarts ZERO - Super Saiyan Vegeta yesterday from Figmation. I'm kinda excited to have the third addition to my Dragon Ball Figuarts collection. The first two being Super Saiyan Son Gokou and Super Saiyan Future Trunks. This figure was released in Japan last month, April 2014. Around the end of the month I presume, so it reached me about two weeks later. Not bad.

Bandai Figuarts ZERO's Take on the Curvaceous Gladiator


Last Saturday, the Tamashii Nations Summer Collection 2014 event was held at Bandai's Akiba Showroom. There's lots of new and upcoming Bandai figures. One of the freshest figure that debut there is the Figuarts ZERO - Rebecca from One Piece. Remember that we just broke the news about this release earlier this month? I thought we'll have to wait till June to see her, but here she is.

The Perverted Kid is Set for Another August Release


More POP announcements as MegaHouse gave us the release date of the last known unreleased POP prototype. POP CB-EX - Momonosuke is set to be released on August 2014 and will retail for 3,100 yen. I'm was actually wondering why this wasn't announced yet given that the prototype was already shown painted. It turns out that he will be released back to back with Rebecca on August.

The Third POP Trafalgar Law Gets a Release Date


The Dressrosa version of POP Trafalgar Law has been announced as a September 2014 release and will retail for 8,800 yen. And the best thing about this release is that it is NOT a LIMITED edition release unlike the earlier announced Cavendish and Barlolomeo. That's a great news for me as this is one of the Dressrosa POP character treatment that I am actually planning to get, the other one being Rebecca.

The Sexy Gladiator will get a ZERO Treatment


We got an announcement that the sexy gladiator Rebecca will get a Bandai Figuarts ZERO treatment. That's a great news for us Figuarts ZERO collectors. It will be a September 2014 release for 3,780 yen. No photos of the prototype yet, so the question is, will it be a good representation of the character's alluring beauty? 

Another POP LIMITED Gladiator


Just after the announcement that POP Cavendish will be a limited edition release. Here they go again with another LIMITED. The POP Sailing Again - Bartolomeo the Cannibal has been classified as POP LIMITED. Well actually, we already saw this coming when MegaHouse launch the POP Special page on the MegaHobby Station. The page shows a silhouette of what turns out to be Cavendish and Bartolomeo under the POP Limited class. See below.

The Man with Eyes of a Woman.. is LIMITED

The Man with Eyes of a Woman.. is LIMITED

Here we go again with another POP LIMITED release announcement by MegaHouse. The official promo photos has been made available and we had a first look at the fully colored prototype.
