Bandai Movie Monster Series Godzilla 2016 Review

The movie debut of “Shin Gojira” is mere weeks away in Japan. Fortunately, Bandai has issued this figure in advance for people to enjoy. This new Godzilla figure is from the Movie Monster Series and all toys from this line are made to fit in the 6 inch scale.

Meisho Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader -Shisei Gusoku- Review

With the initial success of Tamashii Nation’s first wave of figures from the Meisho Movie Realization line, another wave of Star Wars figures were released. Here, Darth Vader was released once again, but with different armor, called Death Star armor.

Bandai Creations Godzilla 2014 Review

I honestly, did not see this figure coming at all. I assumed Bandai Japan would be the only one that makes a vinyl figure based on the newest Godzilla (2014). Turns out Bandai (presumably) America created a Godzilla vinyl figure of their own too. Here is, Bandai Creations Godzilla 2014!

HGUC 1/144 RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn [Destroy Mode]

Time for another edition of Let's Build A Model! Today, is Bandai's HGUC 1/144 RX-0[N] Unicorn GBanshee Norn [Destroy Mode]. This new model was released this past March. The entire project was a strait build with zero customization.

Bandai HG Mothra (2004) Review

Closing the Mini Kaiju Spotlight is one of the most popular opponents of Godzilla. Portrayed as a god of Infant Island, guardian, or messenger of Mother Earth, Mothra is a household name next to Godzilla. The figure reviewed here is based on Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., and was included in Bandai's Godzilla High Grade 10 set.

Bandai HG Destoroyah (1995) Review

The figure to be featured on day 4 of Mini Kaiju Spotlight is a prehistoric monster that was awakened and mutated by the Oxygen Destroyer. Through multiple evolution phases, the final form of this creature was duplicated in a small scale figure. I present to you Destoroyah!

Bandai HG Anguirus (1968) Review

Number three on the Mini Kaiju Spotlight is one of, if not the most trusted ally of Godzilla. Being said as one of the strongest dinosaurs from the prehistoric era and his strong dislike in "war-like predators." His never say die attitude is one of the many reasons why fans like him. Without any further ado, let's review Anguirus!

Bandai HG Hedorah (1971) Review

Number two on Mini Kaiju Spotlight is another monster from the Showa era. Spawned from areas unknown, this creature settled on planet Earth feeding on nothing but pollutants. The continuous consumption of toxins caused some strange organisms to merge into the massive Kaiju, known as Hedorah! This mini figure is from Godzilla Chronicle High Grade Real Figure Set 3.

Bandai HG Ebirah (1966) Review

Welcome to Mini Kaiju Spotlight, the five day marathon that will review mini toys from Bandai HG sets! This fun project will focus on a few allies and villains from various Godzilla movies of different eras. Kicking off this marathon is a figure based on one of the most obscure Kaiju from this genre. Here is Showa Ebirah!

Mini Kaiju Spotlight Special Coming November 24 - 28!

I realized there weren't any Kaiju toy reviews posted in a while, so to make up for lost times, there will be a five day marathon of mini Kaiju toy reviews starting November 24 and ending November 28. That's one figure review each day for five consecutive days!

Here's my plan, the figures that are arranged for a review will come from Bandai's HG (High Grade) set, hence the "Mini Kaiju" part of the main title. I won't review any Godzilla figures at all, rather his co-stars ranging from allies to villains. To give you an obvious clue to which Kaiju will be in a review, please look no further than the silhouette on top of this post.

Who knows, if this project turns out well, I will consider doing another short marathon of mini figure reviews another time. For now, I hope you all enjoy the marathon, and I wish you an early Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe during Black Friday!

Bandai Museum Godzilla 1962 Review

This review is a real treat. I've always been a fan of Bandai Museum's daikaiju related figures, since X-Plus was contracted to do the sculpts. With much luck, I scored a Godzilla '62 figure for a pretty good price. Now that another figure is off my want list, let's move on to the review.

Bandai Movie Monster Series Godzilla 2014 & M.U.T.O (Male) Review

Bandai thankfully brought their Movie Monster Series line back once more, and included in this series is Godzilla (2014) and one of his opponents, the male M.U.T.O. Collectors are uncertain if Bandai will continue the Movie Monster Series and release a female M.U.T.O. figure or other Daikaiju in years to come. For now, we get to enjoy what was given.

Devil Gundam Creation Part 3: It's Finally Over!

As reported in the past two articles (Part 1 and Part 2), there was a lot of work to be done, including correcting some errors that needed some extra attention. Now that everything has been fixed, the mobile suit is getting close to completion.

Bandai (USA) King Caesar Review

Bandai USA released wave seven of their 6.5 inch vinyl figures earlier this year. The figure that stood out of all the rest, among collectors, was King Caesar, which was recreated in an entire new mold. Consumers, who missed the first production of King Caesar, are given a chance to own this mold once again in another wave, which comes with a new Godzilla 60th anniversary branded cardboard backing.

Bandai Museum Kameba Figure Review

Kameba was featured in the film, Space Amoeba aka Yog the Space Monster. The premise goes, strange amoebas from outer space arrives on earth, specifically on a remote island somewhere. Any animal that the amoebas possess, turns into a large monster, in this case a large turtle. This figure was distributed through Bandai Museum, but X-Plus was contracted to sculpt this piece.

Happy Fourth of July (Neo) America!

In observance of this year's Indepence Day, I want to make another quick update that my next Gunpla project will be G-Gundam's Gundam Maxter...the mobile suit that represents and screams that this was made.............in America!

Devil Gundam Creation Part 2: Getting Back On Track!

Despite a few slip ups from before, I continue to fix them quickly and efficiently before moving on to the next step.

Bandai USA Burning Godzilla (2nd Version) Review

I normally ignored all figures distributed by Bandai USA because I was not impressed with their final products in the past. This impression stuck with me as my collection of authentic Japanese figures continued to grow. In this world, there is always one exception that challenge your principle, this case being one of them. I found this figure in a local K-Mart and for some reason, this toy seemed very appealing. Well, the figure was pretty cheap, so I felt like there was little or nothing lose.

Devil Gundam Creation Part 1: What Did I Get Myself Into?

Honestly, I never saw this day coming....building my very first Gundam model. Bandai NG 1/144 Devil Gundam looked very tempting for something affordable from Hobby Link Japan. I originally planned to stick with the model's original colors, but seeing images of great custom, painted models of this kind definitely changed my mind. Experts say cheap 1/144 models are great for beginners, so I hoped this was the case too. However, coming across many headaches, unprecedented challenges, and noobish mistakes were something I did not expect.

Bandai Ultimate Monsters: Gigan, King Caesar, and Ebirah

Besides the common six inch scale figures and above, I enjoy collecting smaller toys as well. Years ago, while living in Oahu, I was fortunate enough to find these figures from a local hobby/anime shop. Bandai Ultimate Monsters made six different figures of monsters from Godzilla Final Wars (GFW) that were individually boxed under the same box art, meaning you have no idea what monster you will have inside. Through my numerous attempts, I was able to collect up to three different monsters.
