S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan 3 Son Goku Review

With time and patience, I was able to buy S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku 3 from the dealers room in Kawaii-Kon 2014. Dragon Ball Z was my favorite anime show as a kid and I collected a few figures here and there when opportunities knocked. I was stoked to see this figure right in front of me and before I knew it, this figure was an automatic buy. Super Saiyan Goku 3 was the sixth figure released by S.H. Figuarts following Super Saiyan Vegeta.

Tamashii Buddies Levi Ackerman Review

Settling for the Eren Yeager figure alone, seemed wrong. Therefore, someone from the same group also ended up being bought. Today’s review is Tamashii Buddies Attack on Titan Levi Ackerman!

Tamashii Buddies Attack on Titan Eren Yeager Review

There weren’t any anime figure reviews done in a while, but that ends now. Today’s review will be Tamashii Buddies Attack on Titan Eren Yeager!

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.

Transformers ROTF Deluxe Soundwave Review

Soundwave, believe it or not, is my favorite character from the G1 series, and of all time. Yet, I find it ironic that I have yet to own my first G1 figure of him and the reason why I haven't made my decision for so long, is because I'm seeking a toy that is spot on to Soundwave's G1 appearance. The Masterpiece Soundwave, immediately fits the bill, and I'm determined to purchase either the Takara or Toys R Us exclusive version online. In the mean time, I did come across some cool pics of the ROTF figure, so my hunt was on to get Soundwave still sealed and for a good price. I did good, so now all that is left is to review this figure!

TFsource Holiday Exclusive KM-03X Mirrorverse Cyclops Review

Mastermind Creations is one of the fastest growing third party companies to deliver outstanding transforming toys. Following the successful release of KM-03 Cyclops, TFsource made an exclusive deal with Mastermind Creations to offer a limited edition of Cyclops' mini-sub code named, "KM-03X Mirrorverse Cyclops." Cyclops is based on Shockwave, and these machines are themed around technology in the late 1800s.

Transformers Beast Hunters: Cyberverse Commander Shockwave

Transformers Beast Hunters Voyager class Shockwave left me liking this representation of a toy, even though the tank mode made me feel a bit unsatisfied. Because I like the robot mode so much, and the Commander class figures are really fun to collect, Cyberverse Shockwave seems like a good buy. However, there are some issues with this toy, that left me wondering what was Takara/Hasbro thinking during the making of this product?

Transformers Generations Legends Class Optimus Prime & Roller Review

At this moment, I am totally stricken with some kind of "Commander Class" fever. Despite being smaller than Deluxe Class figures, they certainly have a some kind of charm that appeases both kinds and adults, depending which adult collectors you ask. Today, I will review another Optimus Prime toy that, although is technically Legends Class size, is scaled closer to the Commander Class size. Going into the 30th anniversary of Transformers, Hasbro released a set of toys that boasts a substantial amount of detail and articulation in a size class that is smaller than Deluxe scaled toys. This set includes Autobot leader Optimus Prime and his smaller companion Roller.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Class Optimus Prime Review

Hello ravers! Today, I want to do a really quick review of a purchase I made from a local Walmart store: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Class Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime was released in Series 3:  001.

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.

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.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Shockwave Review

Hasbro continues their Beast Hunters series with Wave 2 featuring Shockwave from Transformers:  Prime - Beast Hunters season. I was looking forward to this release because Shockwave ranks as one of my favorite characters from the Transformers franchise. Time to open the box and see what's inside...well um...the box does have a viewing window so I can pretty much see the contents already...on to the review!

Transformers DOTM Cyber........

It's All Or Nothing!

Spring Break begins next week Monday here in the University of Hawaii. I set up a plan to study Japanese to prepare myself for the big, final exam just two months away. To keep myself from going nuts, I've decided to build my Devil Gundam model and add a custom paint job. I'm not sure how the finished product will look like, since this is my first Gundam project ever. However, I've done some homework and I'll take my time to keep the quality consistent.

Devil Gundam invades 'The Rave Corner' and I'm hightailing to Kawaii Kon 2013!

Hello viewers! This is Aaron for another update. Hobby Link Japan sent Bandai's 1/144 NG Devil Gundam model. The box is gorgeous and bigger than other 1/144 box sizes. I am undecided to either paint the model or snap it together without customization.

I will be attending Kawaii Kon 2013. Hopefully, there will be some cool stuff to buy this year. This event will be covered after the event is over.

Until then, enjoy your weekend!

Transformers FOC Kickback Review

Transformers Fall of Cybertron line continued the series after Wave 1 (Optimus Prime, Jazz, & Shockwave) with Wave 2 (Bruticus). I was not interested in Bruticus, so I skipped over to Wave 3. Kickback to me was on my #1 want list from Wave 3 and why not? He is 1/3 of the Insecticons! Let's see how Kickback lives up to the hype!

Transformers Fall Of Cybertron Jazz Review

Wrapping up the last figure of the FOC wave 1 line is a deluxe size Jazz. Wave 1 consisted of Shockwave, Optimus Prime, and Jazz. The question is, how does Jazz compare to the rest of his fellow cast mates?

Transformers Fall Of Cybertron Optimus Prime Review

This may be long overdue, but I really want to review toys from Transformers FOC Wave 1 line because we are already in Wave 3. Optimus Prime was another figure released alongside FOC Shockwave in series 1. This version of Optimus Prime is based from the Fall of Cybertron video game.

Saibaa Nichiyobi: Sledge with Throttler Review

The same seller that sold me Steamhammer with Constructicons, also recommended Sledge because this toy also match with the Constructicons. With the right price, I was able to acquire Sledge to see for myself.

Takara Transformers EZ Collection Megatron (Bayformer) Figure Review

Welcome to another edition of Saibaa Nichiyoobi! This version of Megatron is the last Transformers figure that I bought from Kawaii-Kon. This post was put on hold for a while, because there were other newly released figures to review. However, since I promised to review every figure that was bought from the convention, I have to oblige.
