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.

My favs of Tamashii Nations 2012: Diecast Gunpla and Chogokin Mazinger Z Rocket Punch

Out of all the stuff I've seen from the coverage of Tamashii nations (Aside from the GX-62 Dangurad Ace) these are the two things I'm looking forward to because they look like they are loaded with diecast.

DIECAST GUNPLA?!!!! This is amazing to me...What will it be called? GunMetal? Can't be called Gun"PLA". I wonder how diehard Gunpla people feel about this. I for one will love it and hump it. It's an RX-78-2!

I heard about this a little while back and I didn't know what it was...I still don't but I do see Chogokin logos in the back. Will this be a solid metal Mazinger Z fist? Or a fully articulated Maznger Z fist? Either way, really cool. Kind of goes with my whole Rocket Punch theme.

Guest appearance on CDX show Episode 48

I attended the 2012 Comic Con with JoshB of CDX and we did a follow-up video where I was a guest and we talked about some cool stuff. We talked about our hauls, the future of the Soul of Chogokin line, including a possible Golion!

Comic Con Voltron Haul- Korean Diecast? New Lionbot box Variant?

I went to Comic Con to do coverage for CollectionDX.com. I didn't have any plans to buy anything but of course I spent a few bucks there...more than I could ever imagine. Aside from dumping a load of cash on Gunpla (which I never thought I'd start up again) I also came across some exciting Voltron items.

JoshB of CDX spotted these in a corner and my traction beam was activated.

Now here's the thing that makes this find special:
- The Korean Set had DIECAST lions in it (Korean sets are all plastic)
- The Trendmasters set happened to not even be a Trendmasters set- it was a variant LIONBOT box!
- These belonged to the owner of Media-Blasters, the makers of the Voltron DVD and they had a very important role in the making of the DVDs!

OK, I nerded way too much as is evident in the video I made for CDX. Read the full story by checking out the article I did for CollectionDX.

If you want an in depth look at the two sets, check out this video:

So happy...

...happy like a little girl.

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.
