Hey all, my review for the Fujimi Spinner kit is now up on CDX. It's about 95% done. Finishing it to 100% would take up a lot more time which I don't have with review/sponsor guidelines and all but it is complete enough to do a nice review for it. All I really need to do to finish it is paint the window trim with matching blue (ran out of paint) and apply window decals. The LEDs are optional so I didnt want to eat away at the review time which was already overdue by about two weeks as it is. I manage to pop in three LEDs to give it at least some lighting.
It's a great kit that can easily be modified to suit your liking and/standards of accuracy. There seems to be a third party aftermarket brewing also. Be sure to pick yours up at HobbyLink Japan who supplied the kit for CDX for me to review. Get yours here.
For those of you who follow my stuff on CDX, here is what I got and what I have coming up. You get the inside scoop here.
Here is one of the most difficult reviews I've ever had to do..well not the review but the preparation for the actual item I am reviewing. After exhaustive searching for the right color I have started work on this project for CDX. It's the Fujimi Spinner model kit. You may know this vehicle from the movie Bladerunner. If not, check it out on Netflix or wherever you get your movies. Here is a sneak peak.
Yeah, Its all painted and decaled up right now, but this is all your gonna get for now, a primered body. It's coming out real friggin nice. Can't wait to show it off!

I've got Heavy Labor all queued up to go live after the Spinner review, in the meantime check out the review on my Youtube channel.
Here is another sneak peek at what I have queued up on CDX waiting to go live soon. If you can't wait to see the written review, check out the video on my Youtube channel.
Body needs some further detailing and lamps still. Oh, and Bumpers
Here you can see the dashboard and door panels which mount on the body. That thin line around the steering wheel is a friggin water transfer decal. SO HARD TO PUT ON.
Well, the year is almost over and I wanted to choose what I believe is the toy of the year of all the toys I reviewed since it's only fair I choose from what I've had in my hands. That will come later before the end of the year.
Let's see... video review wise on my RPA channel I did:
S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla
Hot Toys Superman
Bandai Chogokin AEGIS
TFC Toys heavy Labor
ES Gokin Baikanfu
Part 6 of Ultraman MAT build
Currently I have the written review on queue for collectiondx.com so make sure to check that out soon. I am also working on the Fujimi Spinner model kit... not my most fun project. Paint does not like cold weather and Tamiya paints officially suck from a spray can. I am sticking to automotive paint from now on. After all the friggin delays in getting the right color blue and I use right color loosely since it's still not accurate, but a little white balance adjusttment will do wonders for the final review.
I have the two Fewture gokins coming of Arale Chan and Toriyama. Was expecting them today since they were sent EMS and somehow they are not in the states yet. I usually get them in 2 days and its been about 4...maybe holiday delays.
I have not forgotten about the MAT build. In fact I just finished the interior and chassis. I have however, not gotten around to taking some pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I can get around to it and maybe do a followup video too. Stay tuned. EDIT: Video below!
