The return of cat postings on this blog
With yesterday afternoon's thunderstorm that lasted till late evening cooling things down a bit, I suppose I won't be jinxing the current situation with this random posting. ^^;

If you're wondering how hot our local weather is right now, just ask this cat that question.

If you get that reference, more (cooling) power to you. XD

S.I.C. Vol. 42 Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form & Momotaros Imagin Part 2

A surprisingly short list for two figures
After the introduction, this posting will focus on most of the accessories and option parts included for S.I.C. Vol. 42 Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form & Momotaros Imagin.



The two S.I.C. figures, and most of their accessories and option parts.
The Flat Form parts will be introduced in a separate posting.

S.I.C. Vol. 42 Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form & Momotaros Imagin Part 1

Two figures, three forms
The S.I.C. Kamen Rider series has been missing from this blog since after the review on Vol. 54 Kamen Rider Ixa and Dark Kiva, which was almost three years ago. ^^; It's making a comeback with this old set. ^^

MS Gundam Seed Heroines 5 Part 5

Lacus Clyne
A cutie at the start of the month, and a cutie near the end of the month. Balance. XD

A review on the second to last figurine in MS Gundam Seed Heroines 5 gashapon set, after Meyrin, Lunamaria, and Cagalli. ^^


The package containing parts for Lacus.

Hot Toys Dynamic Figure Stand Part 3 [Final]

Superior size, same concept
Comparison between Hot Toys' Dynamic Figure Stand and a few other display stands that I regularly use, regardless of what scale of action figures they are for, will be the focus of this final part of the review. ^^


With the generic wired stand for Gunpla, with cameo appearance by Figma Miyuki to up the photo's visual appeal. XD

Hot Toys Dynamic Figure Stand Part 2

Now everyone can fly
As mentioned in its introduction in the previous posting, this second part of the review series is going to be about testing out Hot Toys' Dynamic Figure Stand in supporting actual 1/6 scale action figures, which is basically its designated function. ^^


Size comparison of the display stand with Hot Toys' original, normal oval-shaped base for its figures.
This one is from War Machine.

Hot Toys Dynamic Figure Stand Part 1

Before it became standard issue
Moving away from super robot plamo, Figma action figure, Transformers toy, and shokugan figure to bring you the review on a very special item. ^^ It's not a collectible per se, even though you can most certainly get it just to collect it. XD Instead, it's meant to be an accessory to support other collectibles, large 1/6 scale action figures to be precise. ^^

Woodelix Rider Machine Part 2

Battle Hopper
Lucky draw time with the second figure from Woodelix Rider Machine shokugan set. ^^


Much like the first figure reviewed, V-Jet, the excitement of not knowing which one I'm getting is really only limited to the moment before opening up the box. When the images had been uploaded, and during the process of writing this posting for the review, the lucky draw idea doesn't work anymore. ^^;

Transformers ROTF N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon Part 7 [Final]

Of rare quality
Even more action poses from Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon after Part 5 and the previous posting to kick off this final part of the review series. ^^

Solid ground action
Another round of action poses featuring Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon after the previous posting. ^^

Moving on to the articulation design of Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon this time. ^^

Suddenly, so much orange
More images of Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon after the introduction of its transformation design in the previous posting. ^^

Transformers ROTF N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon Part 3

Tank armor meets body armor
A look at Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon's robot mode transformation after focusing on its tank mode in the previous posting.


As a self-contained figure, nothing needs to be detached before the transformation. ^^

Transformers ROTF N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon Part 2

A Japanese tank for a Samurai robot
A closer look at the default form, the tank mode of Takara Tomy's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon after the introduction in the previous posting. ^^

Transformers ROTF N.E.S.T. Decepticon Bludgeon Part 1

Samurai Skeletor
If a cutesy action figure like Figma Kurisu Makise is the perfect follow-up to the very hot-blooded Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander, who would be the next suitable candidate for her to pass the baton to in this never-ending review relay?

Oh I know, how about an ugly Samurai-Skeletor Transformers hybrid? XD Sounds perfect, and I have just the right item in my collection to fill in that role. XD

Figma Kurisu Makise Part 4 [Final]

Impressively average
More action poses from Figma Kurisu Makise after the previous posting. ^^

Figma Kurisu Makise Part 3

Another form of spilled paint
An introduction of Figma Kurisu Makise's articulation design after the previous posting. ^^

Figma Kurisu Makise Part 2

Who wants a bottle of soft drink?
After the introduction, this posting will focus on the many option parts included in this Figma set and more images of Kurisu Makise to examine the figure's details. ^^



Accessories and option parts included for Figma Kurisu Makise.

Figma Kurisu Makise Part 1

The other girl with white rings in her pupils
The "perfect" follow-up to the review on the very hot-blooded Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander: the first cutie of July. ^^

Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander Part 9 [Final]

Found that missing Rocket Punch
It's Big Bang Punch a.k.a Giant Flying Punch time with Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander! ^^

Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander Part 8

Bonus to poseability? Where is it?
It's time to connect the just completed God Scrander to Mazinger Z from this Mechanic Collection plamo kit. ^^



A rough size comparison between the two.
The wide wingspan of God Scrander is quite amazing to see. ^^
God Scrander is being supported using Action Base 1.

Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander Part 7

Bat wing Dracula coat combo
Moving into a new month, but the first review is going to be a continuation of an unfinished business carried forward from June. ^^

Assembling the "expansion pack" of Mechanic Collection Mazinger Z with God Scrander this time. ^^


All the paper containers that hold the parts of God Scrander.
