Disney Label Transformers Mickey Halloween ver. GET!

It’s good to have friends in Japan! I was lucky enough to have a friend procure the pre-order at 7-11 and here it is! It’s a well done deco and I enjoy all of the Transformer Mickey’s that have came out so far. Especially this one since my favorite color combination is black and orange.

Odaiba Gundam Visit!

Just got back from Japan! Finally was able to unload my photos onto the computer. Here are the pictures I took of the Gundam while there. It’s simply unbelievable and amazing to think that if this was real, North Korea would be screwed….or the Japanese are just as crazy as we think they are! The Gundam does move but only the head and it shoots mist from its vents. So here’s just a orgy of pictures that I took while there. Enjoy!

Updated: Added image of stuff bought at Odaiba and video.

Went to see the Gundam today! Well worth it not going to Comic Con for. I felt like a little kid going to a toy store for the first time. More picutres to come when I get back to the states!

Artstorm is releasing a new series of mechs called ES Gokin (Alloy). The new series consist of old-school robot heroes and making miniature versions of them. Though this isn’t the first of the series, Artstorm recently announced that triad of Getter Robo are going to be released! Date for Getter-1 is scheduled for October and the rest of the two will be due in November. Getter-1 will run about 4,343円, where as the other two will be 3,439円 each. I personally like Getter-2. Why? Because drills are awesome.
