Takara Tomy Seekers: Elites RAMJET DIRGE THRUST Transformers Set

Here is the Elites set of Seekers released as an Asia Exclusive. Of course these are done up in excellent paint deco and not official releases of the US. Very pricey but probably a cost effective alternative to buying these seekers individually. The payoff is arguably the best looking version and most definitely the best painted versions of these figures.

New Fix: iGear MW-03 Hench (Brawn)

I've been lazy in getting a review together for this guy. I've had him about a week already. That and the shipping took crazy long because it was help up in NYC. Look for a video review soon. Doesn't look like you can buy him by himself though.

Bandai Golion and Korean Voltron Model kits

As most of my followers know, I bought a few Voltron items at Comic Con. Aside from the big sets, I bought two small kits. I don't plan on ever building them since I really only bought them for the artwork. The Bandai Golion kit is on the left and features a very classic representation on my favorite robot. The Korean kit shows a lesser seen rendition of this robot, but awesome nonetheless.

Transformers First Edition Terrorcon Cliffjumper

I missed out on the First Edition Cliffjumper when the First Editions were released and then quickly cancelled. Lucky for us, Hasbro has once again released the First Edition line. This time around, Cliffjumper comes in the awesome zombie form he takes on when covered in Dark Energon. This is the Terrorcon Cliffjumper. Simply awesome.

You'll see Hasbro brought back the same First Edition packaging from the first release. This new version of CJ differs in that the artwork shows his zombified self up top.

He's all beat up and covered in Dark Energon. His robot mode has the alternate zombie head with cracked horn. If you want to see it, check out the video below.

1/144 RG RX-78-2 Gundam E.F.S.F. kit

I picked this kit up at the Bluefin booth at Comic Con. Seeing as it was the smallest kit out of the bunch I got, I figured it would be a breeze... I was wrong. I took my time trimming flash, sanding the surface if mold swirls were present, panel lining etc. Im doing stickers now and they are a huge pain. Excellent kit though. SO much detail for a 1/144... as a matter of fact lots of details regardless of size. Contemplating whether or not to dullcoat it.

Finally got Black Lion from MattyCollector.com

To my surprise, I received my Mattel Black Lion from Mattel, the final subscription piece. Havent had a chance to really mess with it but so far it has exceeded my expectations after having dealt with the other lions. I should have a video up real soon... yes, I know i reversed the legs in the picture!

Mattycollector.com Voltron Update

Although I could talk about all the good and of course all the bad about these figures, I just decided to photograph the pilots I have up to now. Of course most of us are still waiting on Keith and the Black Lion, probably the most anticipated of the set.

Lance: Red Lion

Hunk: Yellow Lion

Pidge: Green Lion

Allura: Blue Lion

Sven: Blue Lion

Sven is the only one that comes as a carded figure. It annoyed me at first because I can't take it out without ruining the card, but I guess since this is the first Sven figure, he deserves to stand out from the others.

Waiting on Keith!
