Project BM Wataru Kurenai

2009-11-19T10:42:00.008+07:00

Bandai & Medicom continue their collaborative "Project BM!" line, which is essentially the "let's do the recent guys in Medicom RAH 1/6 size since we're still only up to Kuuga in the main line" spin-off. What I mean is, the name might be different but these guys are Medicom Real Action Heroes through and through. The spin-off started back in 2005-ish with Kamen Rider 1 & 2 from THE FIRST, then saw characters from Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, & THE NEXT join the line-up. Now, later this year Kamen Rider Kiva (Kiva Form) already get his due.

The first news of this guy came out in the magazines earlier this month, but we've finally got some really good pictures courtesy of Ami-Ami.
Check 'em out here.
As you can see, this looks like one of, if not the best Kiva figures ever. With 6 removable Fuestles, a removable Kivat, extra hands and parts for changing his leg armor to "open" mode, plus a display stand, it looks like one to invest in. Also, the figure upholds the level of quality Medicom has been putting into their figures for years. Look at those chains!

Obviously, he's not going to be cheap, but I find Medicom RAH/Project BM! figures are always worth it. Especially with the latest, "DX"-type releases, which are about as good as it gets for accuracy to the original suits and nifty extras. If you're a Kiva fan and you want just one really good big 'ol Kiva figure, this looks like the one to get.

With the release of Project BM Kiva a few days ago, with the ticket inside, Project BM Wataru Kurenai can be ordered on the official website Medicom. As usual, for mail order goods, the goods can be ordered only official diwebsite and they just want to send in Japanese only.

The following Project Specification BM Wataru

* Height overall 30cm
* Can be two heads, one normal, one patterned as willing to change.
* It can also belt and can be revoked kivatnya pairs with magnetic systems, and also two kinds of kivat.
* The costumes were given silhouette make it look more realistic
* The number of possible join to some style figure.
* Body essentially using RAH301
* It can stand for the figure

12 inch Mr. Bean Figure + Teddy

2009-11-16T09:40:00.007+07:00

Who would of thought that there will be a Mr Bean release in 1/6 scale, Enterbay surprised everybody with the announcement of the impending Mr Bean! People don’t realize that Mr bean is very very popular in Asia and its sure going to be a great seller, I’m sure it will sell well here in the UK too, Home of Mr bean!!!

Mr.Bean

The character of Mr. Bean was first developed when Rowan Atkinson was studying for his MSc at Oxford University. A sketch featuring the character was being performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in the early 1980s. A similar character called Robert Box, played by Atkinson, appeared in the one-off 1979 ITV sitcom Canned Laughter , which also featured a routine used in the film version. In 1987, one of Mr. Bean's earliest appearances occurred at the " Just For Laughs " comedy festival in Montreal , Quebec , Canada. When program co-ordinators were scheduling Atkinson into the festival program, Atkinson insisted that he perform on the French-speaking bill rather than the English-speaking program. Having no French dialogue in his act at all, program co-ordinators could not understand why Atkinson wanted to perform on the French bill. As it turned out, Atkinson's act at the festival was a test platform for the Mr. Bean character and Atkinson wanted to see how the silent character's physical comedy would fare on an international stage with a non-English speaking audience.

The name of the character was not decided after the first programme had been produced, with a number of other vegetable-influenced names, such as "Mr. Cauliflower", being explored. Rowan Atkinson has cited the earlier comedy character Monsieur Hulot , created by French comedian and director Jacques Tati , as an influence on the character of Mr. Bean. Stylistically, Mr. Bean is also very similar to early silent films, relying purely upon physical comedy , with Mr. Bean speaking very little dialogue. This has allowed the series to be sold worldwide without any significant changes to dialogue.

Specifications:

* 30cm Tall
* Realistic Facial Likeness of Mr. Bean
* Interchangeable 360 Eyeball System
* Tailored-made “Mr.Bean” Outfit
* RM-1 Body
* 6 Posing hands
* Exclusive “Mr.Bean” Teddy Bear
* Matching Briefcase
* Figure Stand FS-100
* Certificate of Authenticity Card
* 2009 Newly designed and developed packaging
* Officially sculpted by Arnie Kim

Spider-Woman Legendary Scale Busts

2009-10-27T14:02:00.010+07:00

I'm back folks... sorry for disappeared for more than a month. I'm busy at that time,, hopes that you didn't forgot about me and this blog ^^. Just gone with the wind,, I will share about a new stuff from Marvel. Sideshow Collectibles and Marvel Comics proudly present the latest addition to the Marvel Legendary Scale Bust series: Spider-Woman. This outstanding bust meets the standard of excellence that is the hallmark of a Sideshow sculpture, hand-finished, hand-painted and cast in the highest quality polystone. Capturing the alluring arachnid superhero perfectly, the Spider-Woman Legendary Scale Bust is a perfect addition to any Spider-Man or Marvel collection!

When young Jessica Drew suffered uranium poisoning, her biologist father injected her with his untested spider serum and sealed her in a genetic accelerator. In stasis for decades, her aging greatly slowed, she awoke with no memories of her own past. Jessica sought human company in a nearby village where she accidentally killed her first lover with her new bioelectric powers. Fleeing a vengeful mob, she was rescued by Count Otto Vermis, who molded her into the terrorist organization Hydra's newest assassin. As Arachne, she fought S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, who revealed Vermis as a cold-blooded killer.

Jessica returned to England where Modred the Mystic helped her shake off Hydra's brainwashing. She also allied with the sorcerer Magus and eventually moved to Los Angeles where she worked as a bounty hunter alongside Scotty McDowell before Nick Fury helped her secure private investigator credentials. Later, Jessica and her friend Lindsay McCabe moved to Madripoor where they often teamed with Wolverine.

Jessica was drawn to New York when her powers were stolen by Doctor Octopus' Spider-Woman, and following her defeat, Jessica once more regained her uncanny abilities. She later worked as a double agent for Nick Fury, rejoining Hydra, and served with the Avengers in the aftermath of M-Day and allied with Captain America's anti-registration team and the unsanctioned Avengers following the Superhuman Registration Act.

S.I.C Vol.50 Masked Rider Kiva

2009-09-15T08:45:00.009+07:00

Greetings heroes/citizen. Since Bandai announced that they are making a Kiva S.I.C instead of Kabuto. I was a bit disappointed, as they’ve skipped Kabuto for the Den-O series. Yep, Bandai is reaping as much profit as they can from that series (Den-O) probably because it is more popular there in Japan. Although I’m a bit disappointed with that, I’m glad that Bandai is making another S.I.C that is not from the Den-O series. I’m sick of all the Den-Os S.I.C lol. I just hope there wil be a Kabuto in the making, please Bandai. This S.I.C was released couples of weeks ago, I got it last Wednesday from HLJ. I’m paying it for early bird price, but retail for this action figure is around Yen 4500 depending on where you get it. I don’t suggest you get it from eBay, trust me the prices are crazy there. This King of Fangire action figure was sculpted by Ando Kenji.

Packaging; normal S.I.C box, the graphics are influenced by the series’ theme. Inside there is only 1 plastic tray to hold all the items. Twisties are as usual, the background of inside the box is Kiva’s logo. Included in the box is the instruction leaflet.

Design/sculpt; I’m really impressed by the design. The generous amount of die cast metal (chogokin) is very appreciated. This really bring back the soul of “Chogokin” back to this series. Fans of S.I.C were complaining that S.I.C is lack of the metal parts nowadays. With this amount of chogokin on him I don’t think they should complain anymore about that. Both the shoulders’ armors were cast of metal. It was pinned to the back of his body, the body armor is not removable. I can’t removed the shoulder armors, I think it was meant not to be removed.

The headsculpt is very detail with fine Gothic patterns. All the die cast metal parts also have a lots of fine detailing. The Hell’s Gate (when close) is made entirely of die cast metal. It is clamped to the right foot. It’s heavy, but if you tied the chains right, it will not fall of or even move. To make the “Darkness Moon Break Finisher”, you have to change the metal parts with the plastic parts (translucent red). All the chains on him are also made of metal. The knees are also made of metal so are the wrists.

The Fuestles, are easy to put on his belt, just make sure you put them carefully as they are quite soft and fragile. It’s amazing that Ando can sculpt very tiny items with very intricate scupt. All he Fuestles can be inserted to Kivat’s mouth. Actually only 2 Kivat The 3rd are equipped for this action figure, but since I bought this from HLJ, I got and extra piece of Kivat made of metal. So there are 3 Kivat in the box, I think you’ll get it only if you buy the Japanese version.

The panels on his legs are removable, it will make the legs looks slimmer, but there’s quite a large hole to hold that panels. At his pelvis, there are rubber flaps to hide the joints, it really make the action figure looks good. It will not disturb the movement of the legs but the panels on his legs can be a bit annoying when you try to pose the figure.

Points of articulations; this is a super poseable action figure, but to achieve the good looks, some joints were sacrifice and so they are limited in movement. Mostly the shoulder and the hips, other than that they are okay. Ball jointed are use for the shoulder,hips,body,neck and ankle.His wrist are all using spiral peg joints. usually at the knees, the joints are able to turn around, but this time they can’t. It can only be turned back and forth.

Colorings; the paint apps are nice. They are neat and the washing is only for the black parts of his body. They used blue to bring up the detail sculpt of the body.

Accessories; not much if you didn’t count the Hell’s Gate on his leg as accessories. But since this is the normal mode, I think the numbers accessories given are quite good. They are good enough to give a set of violin, 6 Fuestles 6 pairs of extra hands/fist, 3 Kivats (some might only got 2, I’m not sure about this) and the opened Hell’s Gate (the wings).

Overall this action figure is really worth the money I paid for it. Honestly I wasn’t aspect much from this action figure, but once I got to hold it the first time, instantaneously my feelings were changed. I really loves this action figure, and I am quite sad that Bandai is not making other form (they’re making Decade for vol.51) of him besides the Emperor form. What is making me more sad is that the Empero form is a Tamashii Shop Limited Edition. I hope they will make other version of him as normal release. So, to recap ;

Packaging; 4.5/5

Design/sculpt; 4.5/5

P.O.A; 4/5

Colorings; 4.5/5

Accessories; 4/5

2009-08-27T22:04:00.004+07:00

Another hot item from Bandai, I think this kiva Emperor form will make another great move like SIC Limited Wild Chalice a long ago, well we just only wait, let time show us the motion...not much I can talk about,,

Pre-order started since August 11th. December release, 5,250 Yen (inclusive of tax). Well this is Japan price, when it arrived in Indonesia, the price will start to increase.

G.I. Joe Action Figures

2009-08-18T06:35:00.006+07:00

hello bloggers...
I thought I missed my persistance in this month so that I realy need my spirit to get back and share you a lot of fun stuffs better than this. Well I guess this can't be helped ^^.. Talk about movie in this month, there are a lot things that we can discuss. One of the favourite movies is G.I. Joe from what I heard. I haven't catch this movie yet but somehow this movie is great basicly from the classic figures and comic long long time ago ^o^ ...

Because I haven't watched it yet, we'll do some warming up for the figures, actually there are many characther figures in G.I. Joe. Well of course they can't show them all. If you still don't know what G.I. Joe is, let me share you a little clue about it. G.I. Joe is a line of military-themed articulated "action figures" produced by the toy company Hasbro. The initial product offering represented four of the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces with the Action Soldier (Army), Action Sailor (Navy), Action Pilot (Air Force) and Action Marine (Marines). The term G.I. stands for General Infantry and became a generic term for U.S. soldiers, especially ground forces. The development of G.I. Joe led to the coining of the term "action figure".

The G.I. Joe trademark has been used by Hasbro to title two different toy lines. The original 12-inch line that began in 1964 centered around realistic action figures. In the United Kingdom, this line was licensed to Palitoy and known as Action Man. In 1982, the line was relaunched in a 3 3/4-inch scale complete with vehicles, playsets, and a complex background story involving an ongoing struggle between the G.I. Joe Team and the evil Cobra Command. As the American line evolved into the Real American Hero series, Action Man also changed, by using the same molds and being renamed as Action Force. Hasbro has stated that the figures will be all new sculpts and the most detailed and articulated G.I. Joe figures ever!

Thats for the warming up, next time I will share you more about G.I. Joe stuff..

A little story about Venom

The homicidal embodiment of pure hatred and blinding rage, Venom is the amalgamation of two malevolent beings, both obsessed with Spider-Man. One half is Eddie Brock, an unethical former journalist whose meteoric career was cut short when Spider-Man revealed a story he had written to be false. The other is the alien symbiote that posed for a time as Spider-Man's black costume, attempting all the while to graft itself to the wall-crawler permanently. Venom possesses all of Spider-Man's powers and even greater strength. He can disguise himself to look like any person he can imagine, and is invisible to the wall-crawler's protective Spider-Sense. Utterly insane and totally without remorse, Venom is the antithesis of his adversary.

Alter 1/60 ARX-7 Arvalest

2009-08-09T00:32:00.006+07:00

Back again with the new stuff, today is for mecha action figure.... :D
Finally, fans of the popular anime series; Full Metal Panic’s ARX7 – Arbalest has been revealed. Coming from Alter and is set in 1/60 scale, it is slated to be release on May 2009 though just exactly on which month has yet to be announced. Click on ‘read more’ to see more images of the prototype model built by Alter.

Alter ARX-7 Arbalest from the anime Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid is a Generation 3 arm slave with an experimental Lambda Drive. In the story the Lamda drive gives supernatural abilty to the arm slave, making it a 1 man army.

Alter has replicate this iconic mecha from the series with very high detailed in 15cm or about 5 inch action figure.

Anyway the good news, is that Alter is still releasing the ARX-7 Arbalest on May. The bad news? Alter is still selling it at 13,440 Yen (inclusive of tax) and the typo error on the display base. Seems like Double’s fear is really coming true after all, where he first reported it on ‘What The Heck? ARX-7 Arvalest?‘ It’s definitely a bad news for us who are going to splash out 13,440Yen ( estimated to be around $126US dollars according to XE.com )on this baby. Let us all keep our fingers cross and hope that it’s a genuine mistake on Alter’s side and they’ll rectify this before they sell them to us.

Odaiba Gundam Tour

2009-07-30T04:44:00.008+07:00

Hello bloggers,,,gives you aother detail about my last post Life size Gundam Looms on Odaiba. This guide is taken from HLJ. hopes you like it ^^...

Thousands waited patiently for their turn to see the lifesize Gundam up close.

People from all walks of life, and especially "Gundam" fans, came to see and touch the lifesize monument. Visitors could spend up to about 10 minutes on the platform, to get a good look from every angle.

All the detailing was incredible!

Here's a closeup view of the lower body. Now you know what's underneath the Gundam's skirt...more armor. Check out those panel lines and markings! What looked like steam occasionally sprayed from the black vents on the Gundam's knees.

The Gundam could be visited by as many as 1.5 million ankle-high admirers by the end of August. Attendees were allowed to touch the Gundam. No climbing, though. Gundam's armor is made of fiberglass assembled onto an inner steel frame.

Every 30 minutes, its eyes and other light sources on its body lit up, and its head would move left to right and then face upward.

Not only can the head turn from side to side, it can also pivot up!
Some took photos, some bought commemorative goods, and some even enjoyed picnicking within view of the Mobile Suit. Part of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, the lifesize Gundam will be on display until August 31.
...but the best time to enjoy the spectacle of the lit-up Gundam is from 7pm onwards. One of the information booths showed photos of the construction process in creating this marvel.

yupp,,I think thats all for today's TOUR... All taken from Hobby Link Japan

Life size Gundam Looms on Odaiba

2009-07-28T16:11:00.010+07:00

From fiction to reality, Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam from the seminal 1979 anime classic "Mobile Suit Gundam" has been brought to life in massive 1/1 scale as an 18-meter-tall (that’s about 60 feet!) monument!

Part of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, and currently on display at Shiokaze Park on Japan's man-made island of Odaiba in Tokyo, it's a stunning realization of the First Gundam, sporting new additions to its classic design such as sub-nozzles beneath its backpack and incredible mechanical detail throughout, particularly in the elbow, knee, and ankle joints.

People spanning all walks of life, including thousands of "Gundam" fans, flocked to see the iconic robot on the display's official opening day of July 11, 2009. Attendees waited patiently in line to enter the venue, with staff members leading a small group of people at a time onto the raised platform the Gundam stands on, where they could view it up close, take photos, and touch the robot's armor, which is made of fiberglass assembled onto an inner steel frame. Every 30 minutes the Gundam's eyes and other light sources on its body would light up while white mist billowed from chest vents, shoulders, and legs. Its head moved from left to right, and finally looked upwards majestically while music played in the background to set the mood. On the ground directly behind the Gundam were a set of its gigantic footprints.

The surrounding stalls sold all kinds of Japanese food, while other booths offered information on the "Gundam" universe and the construction process of the lifesize model. There was also an official shop that sold Gundam-related merchandise, including the Odaiba event-limited 1/144 HG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. G30th snap-fit plastic kit (we sell the regular version of the kit). For 1,500 yen, attendees could buy a commemorative photo, with three postcards included, of themselves on a tall platform in front of the Gundam.

This amazing lifesize replica Gundam will be on display until August 31. It's a monumental landmark that everyone should definitely see with their own eyes!

At the end of June, Tamashii Web has release limited item that have been waited by many S.I.C lovers, namely S.I.C Masked Rider Nega Den-O. This hot item can only ordered from Tamashii official website 5 months ago. And now it has been released and for the limited item, only available on TAMASHII web shop in Japan.

For who doesn't know Nega Den-O, here is a little article about him.

Soon afterward, he steals an extra Den-O Belt before arriving to restore the future where the Imagin exist by recruiting mobsters and members of the Fangire Race to his aid. In Climax Deka, Negataros has to deal with both the DenLiner Police lead by Ryotaro Nogami, an inside man in the form of Yuto Sakurai, further worsened by the brief meddling of Wataru Kurenai.

In the end, Negataros' plan is foiled and his armor is destroyed by the Double Boistous Kick & Darkness Moon Break of Kiva & Den-O Climax Form before he finally meets his end in battle against the DenLiner, the ZeroLiner and Castle Doran.

Negataros is also featured prominently in the S.I.C. Hero Saga in Hyper Hobby Magazine. The story is a retelling of the events of Climax Deka featuring Negataros travelling to April 3, 1971, to team up with the Shocker organization and combatting Den-O and the Tarōs along the way.

'Back in Black' Spider-Man statue

2009-07-16T00:14:00.007+07:00

Have no idea to post made me think about one of great statue from Marvel. Everyone know Spider-Man, and they love him ^^...but not all for the black costume. Actually this one are the same pose with the last post of Spider-Man statue , but this one is more interesting too. Read it for more information.

After the death of over 600 civilians during a botched reality show featuring heroes tracking down villains, the government enacted the Superhero Registration Act. This law divided the heroes across the United States, forcing them to choose to support the law or to fight it. Two heroes embodied the extremes, as Iron Man took control of the Pro-Registration camp, while Captain America chose to lead the Anti-Registration camp. Under Iron Man's guidance, Peter Parker made the decision to make his identity public, and registered himself.

Peter soon regretted the decision, realizing the danger his friends and loved ones were now in and seeing the prospect of having to capture his renegade friends in the now Civil War of the superpower community. After seeing a prison for the unregistered superhumans, he fled Avengers Tower with his family, clashing with Iron Man during his exit. A major battle and a jailbreak at the unregistered prison lead to the end-all battle of the Civil War, and Spider-Man remained a member of the unsanctioned Avengers team in the aftermath. But the damage had already been done, with Spider-Man's identity public knowlege. The Kingpin commissioned a sniper to kill Peter Parker's family, and though Mary Jane was spared, Aunt May was left in a coma on the verge of death. Spider-Man resumed wearing his black cloth costume, reflective of the dark times while his Aunt May was precariously close to death.

The latest to join Sideshow's line of Marvel collectibles is the 'Back in Black' Spider-Man Comiquette. Each piece is hand cast in highest quality polystone and hand finished to Sideshow's exacting standard. Reflecting Peter Parker's dark days in the aftermath of the Civil War, the 'Back in Black' Spider-Man Comiquette is an outstanding addition to any collection, a stunning representation of the Webslinger as seen in the New Avengers series.

Soul of Chogokin GX-45 Mazinger Z (Shin Mazinger)

2009-07-13T22:14:00.007+07:00

Commemorating the 35th anniversary of the Chogokin series, this represents the first total re-design of the Mazinger Z in 11 years. This time, every resource was dedicated to a single aim: enhanced posability. The result of the designers' efforts is a figure capable of taking poses long believed to be impossible for a diecast toy, such as the iconic Mazinger Z pose of firing a "rocket punch" while down on one knee.

Featuring abundant use of diecast metal components for a satisfying weight and feel in the hand. The overall sense of quality is enhanced by the redesigned Hover Pilder, which features a translucent canopy and integrated folding wings, a feature that required parts-swapping in previous versions of the toy.

Bandai celebrates the 35 years of die-cast metal goodness that is their Chogokin brand with this SOC entry featuring none other than the dynamic daddy of the super robot genre, Mazinger Z! Based on its design for the 2009 "Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen" anime series, this highly poseable 16cm action figure is a completely brand-new sculpt of the seminal 'bot! Its lower arms are attached to the upper arms via magnets on the elbow joints, and also packed in this set are a pair of interchangeable lower arms with spring-loaded mechanisms to recreate the super robot's trademark Rocket Punch attack!

The Hover Pileder is of course included too, featuring a clear blue canopy and foldable wings for docking the craft into Mazinger Z's head. The included Jet Scrander can be attached to the robot's back, and its wings are movable. A custom display base with stand is also provided to help pose Mazinger Z in mid-flight, and accessories can also be stored on the base. Too great!
