This rendition of the Bang Doll is the first in Volk’s IMS line that is based on injection molding. The sculpts so far are excellent, and the casting is good. They really tried to make the details as crisp as possible, for example in the Bang the edges are all super sharp and if you… Continue reading S.S.I.KUBALKANS the BANG -破烈の人形- 1/100 Volks IMS kit

LED Mirage with Boomerang Unit – 1/100 Wave kit
The old Wave injection kit was reviled by many, but it’s about the only kit you can get the flight backpack combo for a very reasonable price of 6800yen. The Boomerang unit offered here is a crisply cast vinyl kit. There’s some fit issue as with the rest of the kit does, but the finished… Continue reading LED Mirage with Boomerang Unit – 1/100 Wave kit
Jason Voorhees Bishoujo 1/7 Kotobukiya
Shunya-san did a lot of the Marvel reimaging, but taking on the classic horror character is a bold move! The Jason Voorhees really stood out as a cool design. The original had a lot of blood on the figure as part of its slasher motif, but I didn’t want blood on my hands so to… Continue reading Jason Voorhees Bishoujo 1/7 Kotobukiya
Shining Ark – Angel of Light Sakuya Mode: Seraphim 1/6
I adore the Tony line of figures. The art itself was great, but the figures are mostly well-sculpted with nice outfits and soft poses. Costume are of fantasy elements but with added anime cuteness. I’m not going to pretend I know what Shining Ark the game is about or who Sakuya is, except she… Continue reading Shining Ark – Angel of Light Sakuya Mode: Seraphim 1/6
Jesta – 1:100 MG Gundam Unicorn Bandai
After so many years of evolution there’s finally a cool GM derivative that I truly like. The Jesta is like the Black Ops GM. I liked it well enough to even get the Premium Bandai’s Jesta Canon.
Buster Gundam – 1:100 Bandai MG Gundam Seed
Bandai released all the Seed kits in MG form, and they’re awesome. Buster would count as my favorite with its buster canon firing pose.
Providence Gundam – 1:100 HG Gundam Seed Bandai
Of all the seed antagonists Providence is the coolest and had the best power ratio to the protagonists – the Seed Destiny baddies are weak! Providence is beefed up and Dragoons/bits were a novelty in the first season, giving Kira a lot of trouble. The HG kit wasn’t half bad but it needed some mods… Continue reading Providence Gundam – 1:100 HG Gundam Seed Bandai
Marasai – 1:100 MG Bandai
Marasai is the grunt bad guy in the second half of Z. I don’t do a lot of grunts but this dude is pretty menacing… if it doesn’t splay its legs all the time and fall on its face.
Super Gundam Mark II 2.0 – 1:100 MG Bandai
Combining the goodness of MG Mark II 2.0 and the Defender gave us the Super Gundam Mark II 2.0! Not a bad combo but pretty flaky. Should’ve glued the rifle to the hand.
Nu Gundam ver ka. – 1:100 MG Bandai
This is the Nu before I added the conversion kit. While not bad verbatim, the conversion kit fixed a number of proportion and detail issues that made it worthwhile. Anyway with some black light exposures the Nu is pretty awesome as is.
