Upcoming reviews

Heres a peek at stuff that i'm reviewing or stuff that makes an appearance in my reviews so stay tuned!

Maketoys Green Giant Type -61

My friend Leo was kind enough to let me check out his Maketoys Giant. I will be reviewing this someday soon. Possibly on CollectionDX.

Toyworld TW-01 Hegemon (Megatron)

Just got this in a few days ago and I can't wait to review it. Not thoroughly impressed with overall execution though. Great engineering just lacks a bit of refinment in it's transformation precision. Stay tuned.

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!

Bandai Ben 10 4" Way Big figure

I meant to show you guys this a LONG time ago but I forgot, so here it is. It's a 4" Version of the Way Big figure I showed you guys before. It's a good bit smaller but I like this version more than the bigger floppy legged one.

This version is well articulated

99% Diecast Colombian made Mazinger Z chogokin robot figure

My friend Leonardo had mentioned at some point that he was able to cast diecast pieces and showed me this little project of his. He took an old plastic Mazinger Z figure, cast diecast parts out of it and created this work of art. The fists were sculpted by local Colombian artisans and the Scrander was scratch built. The Scrander also has diecast parts by the way. The figure is completely diecast except for the scrander wings which are Acrylic.

The original figure did not have joints, so these had to be fabricated. The hole in the back was also made into the mold to hold the Scrander. Instead of using regular paint, the paint on this is a very strong resistant coating used in heavy duty manufacturing. The face is hand painted giving it a great vintage look.

During a visit to Colombia, I got to handle this wonderful figure. When I was about to leave for the night, Leo gave me this as a gift and I freaked! From the moment I got this to the moment it landed with me in the US, it endured being tossed around car door pockets, TSA handling, jean pockets and other stuff. In the end it was OK and now being taken care of like all other one of a kind art.

Amazing.

Custom Scrander

One of a kind. Thanks Leo!

Korean Daitarn 3 SUPER TITAN bootleg robot figure

This is one of those things I bid on just to bid on and well because it's a friggin' Daitarn 3! A pretty bad one at that but I love the artwork. That alone was worth the price. The figure is made out of questionable plastic but it seems pretty sturdy. The colors are way off and pieces do not fit together well. Another quirky Korean bootleg.

The tray is actually a very thick plastic
