TekSushi Becomes Integrated With Our Big Brother Site FLYGUY

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 06:53:00 +0000

Some changes afoot at TekSushi and our social channels, all of which are on the move.

Many years ago Marvel really made a deep impression on me, in particular with the launch of the Iron Man movie franchise. Since that helped successfully reboot their entire business, we've gotten a lot more cool toys. So whilst Star Wars remains as my core interest, there are a lot of Marvel toys & product out there to review and discuss. Not only just Marvel though, DC with Batman, Arrow & the Flash have become excellent movies and shows respectively. I've always also liked GI JOE, some non Star Wars LEGO and well, look you probably know I'm a huge toy geek and I love talking about this stuff regardless.

Back when we are about to start, many wanted the product line streams separate. However I think things have changed, especially with house of mouse having both Marvel & Star Wars under one roof. Some won't like the streams crossed but whatever, it's happening! Deadpool & Fett go together!

So myself and and others, started an outlet for that other non Star Wars collecting stream, which became TekSushi, and considering how little time we've all had to put in to it with our busy lives, I've been very happy with our reviews, podcasts and posts. We made just under 500 videos and podcasts, and several thousand subscribers as well as millions of views of posts and more. Considering we did this for fun, shits and giggles, we had a lot of laughs. However, trying to run in your spare time two YouTube channels, two web sites, two Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblrs and Instagrams is exhausting.

So a merge is sensible and underway and the TekSushi YouTube channel will remain available and archived for now, but all other channels will begin to port across to FLYGUY where it's all about to get even fatter and juicier with more toy content. If you're not yet a FLYGUY YouTube subscriber click the button below to continue to get Marvel, DC, LEGO, Sideshow, Hot Toys and other reviews.

My thanks to all who have commented, supported, subscribed and watched - thank you! Some extra special thanks go to FX Franz (You da man dude. Seriously!), Ashrok (Always a hoot and a half), DC (my Bestie from down under and Hot Toys/batfreak!) Eddie (Thanks for..well, everything!), Khai (Once a padawan, now you are the master!), GL Jossan( Mr NY ToyFair and Legends fanboy!) & more who have all contributed in one way or another. It's been fun.

Now time to cross the streams.

Star Wars Bandai Tamashii Nations Ashigaru Stormtrooper Review by Kool Kollectibles

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:04:00 +0000

Hey everyone, it's Khai from Kool Kollectibles again. It's been a while since I've posted a review on TekSushi, so I thought I'd share this awesome Star Wars figure with you!

Late in Dec 2014, Bandai Tamashii Nations released the first in their new Star Wars Movie Realization figures. Based off the Japanese feudal style that inspired George Lucas, the Samurai Taisho Darth Vader was an amazing figure, and was my favourite Star Wars figure of 2014 in any scale!

Soon after they released teaser photos of upcoming trooper figures, including the Stormtrooper, Sandtrooper, and potentially even the Snowtrooper and Biker Scout. It's been a long 6 month wait, and they've finally released the Ashigaru Stormtrooper figure, and it was definitely worth the wait!

For my full video review, click the video link below to check it out on the Kool Kollectibles YouTube channel. For more pics and info, scroll on down for the full written review :)

The packaging style follows closely with that of the Darth Vader, and is very simple and classy. The clamshell inside is perfectly collector friendly. The set comes with a nice array of accessories, including the vintage style flint gun, katana sword and sheath, and an assortment of swap out hand sculpts.

The figure itself is every bit as amazing as the Darth Vader figure, with the details really standing out due to the white armour instead of the black on Vader. The sculpting of the helmet is incredible, with beautiful patterning that matches the line markings on the standard Stormtrooper helmet.

I love the way they did the style around the chin area of the helmet, and the hinge joint that attaches the chin flap. The flap itself has the little gold highlights that are scattered across many areas of the suit. Because it is on a flap, it's easy to move around to articulate the head more, so there's no real issue with articulation.

The rear of the helmet is similar to the layered pattern on the Darth Vader helmet, and is again a softer plastic with gaps between layers. There's a little give in the plastic so there isn't too much restriction in head movement when posing. The subtle weathering on the helmet is nice, and leaves plenty of room for more dirt and grime for the Sandtrooper version!

The body armour is of course the highlight. Some people do not like the style of the chest/torso plate, especially the visible nipples. But this is very accurate to the traditional Samurai ere Japanese armour, and I think it looks awesome. Particularly with the very nicely done dirt/weathering, I think Bandai have done another great job.

The rear of the torso piece is just as intricate as the front, with almost gill-like patterning on the back. I think that really accentuates the figure and makes it look amazing from any angle. I also love the fake ropes across the tops of the shoulders that mimic rope ties used to hold the front and rear sections together.

The shoulder pads are also a nice design touch, where they are attached to the arms via a ball joint. This allows for a lot of range of motion in the arms since the shoulder plate can be easily moved out of the way. The shoulder joints themselves are on a well-designed ball joint system that can move the shoulder up and down, out the sides almost perpendicular to the body, and straight out the front or rear.

As with the Vader, much of the detailing in the costume centres on the kama or skirt. It is all one piece that is made of softer plastic to allow for the hip articulation. The detailing with the front dagger sheath, and the fake ropes holding the various flaps is really nice, especially with all the gold/yellow highlights.

I love how they have mimicked the canister at the rear of normal Stormtrooper outfits. I'm not exactly sure what it's meant to be, but it still looks cool! :) Again the detailing in the flaps is very nicely done. On the left side that is a clips that holds the katana sheath nicely, which is just inserted and left along the hip.

Even the leg armour is nicely molded and detailed. The thighs have a white armour layer under the kama skirt, leading into black plastic representing the undersuit. It's all soft plastic that doesn't restrict hip/leg articulation too much. Going down towards the lower leg armour, that looks fantastic too. The differences in design between the legs is another nice bit of detail, and again the weathering is top-notch.

The feet are a little hard to articulate and get looking right, especially flat on the ground. The ankle joints get a little hard to manipulate without a true ankle rocker motion. I do believe that the ball joint can be rotated to allow the ankles to be tilted in the perpendicular direction, but I haven't tried it out myself yet. But other than that, all the movement is as expected, and nothing is loose so standing on its own is quite easy. The line markings on the shoes also look great.

General points of articulation include both double jointed elbows and knees. The elbows in particular look great, with a wide range of motion, and the elbow joints doesn't become too visible went bent. Similarly, the knee joints also have a great range of motion, and can all cater for some amazingly dynamic poses.

Posed together with Vader, I think the potential for something really special in the Star Wars collecting world is immediately obvious. There is just nothing else out there that is as unique but still instantly recognisable as these Bandai Movie Realization figures!

With teaser pics already posted showing variant Stormtroopers with flags, drums, and other accessories, there will be plenty of opportunity to build an incredible feudal army of Stormtroopers! Add to that the amazing pics of the Royal Guards and Boba Fett, I think this line will become a legendary line of Star Wars figures in the future.

These figures are definitely gaining in popularity, and are selling out fast at most retailers. Do NOT miss out!! :)

SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark XLV Aka Bleeding Edge Mark 45 Armour Images & Info

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 May 2015 05:35:00 +0000

Having just seen and enjoyed The Avengers Age Of Ultron, my Iron man (and war machine/Hulkbuster) fetish is in full swing. Several press magazines and sites have shown the first mark 45 armour to be made as a figure, which is by SH Figuarts.

I just am loving that new semi hexagonal ARC reactor shape above, such cool design. As usual S.H Figurarts make this look great with dynamic poses and this looks like the beginning of the bleeding edge armour coming in with small circular rings in key places.

Their Iron Man Mark XLV is about 6″ tall and has die-cast parts amongst the standard plastic elements. On sale in japanese stores for approx ¥6,300 which is around $53 + shipping. Anywhere for $80 ish is a good deal. View the full image gallery for SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark XLV

Although this is Not yet available at sites in English I can see but you can pick up the awesome S.H figurarts Mark 43 which has had rave reviews for a great price and in some ways I think is a better armour overall.
