Treasures from Tokyo: US Toys!!!

IMG_4804 400x599

Curses to Joe and Alex for introducing me to US Toys Minis!!! Several weeks ago, Alex showed me this set with the two Baltans and Ultraman. The yummy clear blue Baltan with tinsel inside seemed to be unreachable. Both sets were sold before they even hit the floor. BUT as fate would have it, at Super Festival in Tokyo, I spied the very same set at the US Toys table and it would become my first purchase of the day!! Hard to think of a better way to start Super Festival!!

From CollectionDX


CollectionDX is proud to announce our latest exclusive toy - the Nor'easter ver. Vegetius!

Vegetius stands 12 inches tall and is made out of translucent blue glitter soft vinyl. Made in Japan by the master craftsmen at Marmit, Vegetius has 5 points of articulation and is limited to 50 pieces.

From the Kaiju Big Battel website:

"Vegetius is being most beast-like creature of Big Battel. No man and no monster can cantrolling giant bird-turtle when lunchtime is the nearing. Foraging for the roots of deliciousness is activity number one in forest and jungle home places. Stand by the side for Vegetius and friend counted, but stopping the will of pointy headed one and shell pain he brings!"

Custom Real x Head Mutant Chaos by Tan-Ki !!!

1225202743_chaos1 400x274

I always think it's quite interesting when artists new to customizing Japanese toys give it a spin. Case and point, Western customizer Tan-Ki lending his talents and interesting style to a RealxHead Mutant Chaos. I think the results are amazing!! I think next time i'd like to see a bit more color!!

Yamato Moto Slave Priss Metallic Version!!

TOY-RBT-0488_01 400x599

I've been holding back on buying this toy for a long time now. I think i've been permanently scarred by my first experience with Yamato's Bubblegum Crisis toys 3 years ago. I'm gun shy. When I first saw pictures of this toy, it has all the ingredients of an awesome figure for me. It has a motorcycle....that transforms! It has a hot chick in a cool hard suit. The motorcycle transforms into an armor suit ala Mospeada Ride Armor. What's not to like? Aside from being afraid that the thing would just fall apart on me, I thought the colorways were too plain jane. Well, good things come to those that wait. Cause this metallic version has my name all over it.

Now this version looks like a real motorcycle, not some plastic model kit. Ordered and done. I can hardly wait till it shows...Due out in December...!!

Max Factory 1/35 Commando Vorct Assault Lane Custom Scopedog!!

TOY-RBT-0457_03 400x361

I've been pretty underwhelmed with Max Factory's Commando Vorct Series. All the Scopedogs looks very similar and kinda blah. There was that one that had the giant sniper rifle that was kinda cool. But this Assault Lane Custom shows some promise. First it has the interesting crossbow with all the arrow quivers. Then it has the cool underwater helmet too. Lastly, it was the nice detailed tank treads. Out in December.

More CM's Corp Mospeada Ride Armors !!!

TOY-RBT-0497_01 400x386

CM's Corp has two new Ride Armors from the Mospeada series. This Dark Bartley "Shinobu" Type has my attention... but alas, I may have to wait for it to go on sale before getting yet another Ride Armor....I would like to compare it to the other manufacturers versions though...Refer back to the Cyclone Beauty Contest!!!

Hmmm, I say if you're gonna go NASA Orange, go all the way. Maybe silver helmet with clear grey shield?

Picture below is David M. Brown who died during the re-entry of Space Shuttle Columbia. RIP.

Instinct Toy and Mad Panda at One-Up!!!

inc-exhibition-oneup-new-fi 400x566

Instinct Toy toys are cool. They look like a bear that is getting electrocuted or something. Or maybe a bear that has too much hair gel in the morning. I wouldn't mind getting one, but the color has to be right. When I saw this ad for all these cool Limited Color versions, I send a note to One Up, but suspect I was too late for the clear purple one for example. Ken has this exclusive black one up....

oneup-inc-03 400x585

Speaking of One-Up, you're not too late to try and pre-order this crazy MAD PANDA "JHARK BONE "-PUMPKIN' CRUSHER- Insane.
