News: Formania Nausicca Gunship

Also from GA Graphics's reports at the Tamashii Nation 2010, here is the Formania Nausicca gunship from the movie Valley of the Wind.  I like the mechanical look, and the fact that there are quite a bit of details throughout. 10000 yen...may pick this one up...




News: Upcoming Soul of Chogokin

GA graphics posted some closeups of the Daltanius test model from Tamashii Nation 2010, also included a blue print of Godsigma.

My memory of "Universe Emperor" Godsigma TV show was not very pleasant, I faintly recall at about the midway point, the professor guy what was supposed to be helping the good guys, all of a sudden turned evil.  It was a bit too much of a concept for a kid to understand (way back when...).  Also, the animation was out right crappy, I can draw much better.  Anyhow, looks like someone at Bandai likes it more than me...


My memory of Daltanius on the other hand, was much more positive.  The theme song on the show is one of my all time favorites when it comes to anime theme songs.  I am not sure I buy the new lion design, but hack, I lost my original chogokin as a kid, I owe myself this one.    In fact, I sensed Bandai will be bringing this one back probably since last year, mostly because they are running of licenses and you can only do so many Mazinger.  I will speculate too that Bandai will bring the Starcrow from Starzinger back.  You just watch...I am that confident.

News: Tamashii Nation 2010 insane update from AmiAmi blog

The following are expertly borrowed first looks and updates from the AmiAmi (a leading Japanese online store) blog.  Enjoy ! (good stuff are further down the post, also visit AmiAmi's blog for more)










 The important thing to notice is the V Gundam
 Waiting patiently for the Sinanju...

 In the end, the final RX78 took clues from the 3 tests, none of which became the official release.
 Bandai, you are so milking this license...Fighting hard to resist...Got MkII in HCM and L-Gaim in SOC already...




 This is a must have, Haruhi in bunny suit in itself is worth the price,,,

 I recommend anyone to buy a house first before considering to buy this...

 And finally, yes, I lost you once but I'll get you back...
