E3 (which you all should know as a “Big Honking Video Game Trade Show”) is currently going down in California this week, where the likes of Sony, Nintendo Microsoft and dozens of more developers and […]
By Loran Like any good robot, Mazinger Z’s got his fair share of weapons. Some of them help define his design, while others are so damn obscure, Super Robot Wars doesn’t care about them most […]
I’d make a clever pun regarding the heat but my brain is currently a pile of mush thanks to a combination of binge drinking over the weekend and said heat. That and I’m never clever, […]
By Loran I’ve gone on about my love for the Jesta’s design enough times now, so I’m just gonna cut the BS: this kit is awesome. Maybe I’m just a little biased because I like […]
When we last talked, “The Avengers” wasn’t in theaters, and as of today, it has made ALL the money. Well at least a billion dollars worldwide. Will this mean cheaper Marvel comics for fans and […]
By Loran And once again, I find myself reviewing Megatron… I wasn’t too big on the design for Megatron in Transformers Prime originally. It just felt like a shameless rehash of his design from the […]
By Loran As I mentioned a few articles ago, my favorite part of Gundam Unicorn Episode 4 was getting to see all those old mobile suit designs again, with a few new ones thrown in. […]
I like Reed Pop! a lot. The division of the Reed company who runs their conventions, I’ve worked with them for years, and they’ve done a ton of favors for me. So yes, you can […]
Any long-time FPNYC blog reader knows by now that I kind of favor Marvel when it comes to the big 2 Comic Publishers. I try not to be biased, as both publishers have their share […]
by Loran Summer is almost upon us once again, and of course, that means new toys. It seems like Bandai tends to fill the earlier and later months with stuff that’s basically repacks, from what […]
by Chris Troy It’s been awhile hasn’t it FPNYC faithful! I would have written sooner, but I had a trinity of things keeping me away from blogging as of late, as my ass was in […]
By Loran As I said before, I’m obsessed with MSVs. I love all those silly little variations that don’t serve much of a purpose in the long run (It’s a Guncannon! With… different cannons!) and […]
By Loran Okay, time for an unpopular opinion: I don’t like Evangelion. I mean, okay, it has plenty of aspects that I like. I like the look of the EVAs themselves, I like the world, […]
By Loran Oh dear, I believe it’s time for Tamashii Fest! Usually, I find myself drawn mainly to all the wonderful Tokusatsu stuff at Tamashii Fest, I actually can’t discuss those here because it’s all […]
By Chris Troy There’s a bar named “Bar None” near Forbidden Planet NYC that I like to frequent on a weekly basis. Since I’m going to be out of town the next 2 weeks due […]
By Loran It’s an incredibly well-known fact at this point that Master Grades and 1/100 scale kits in general just aren’t my forte. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s more than I got […]
By Loran Okay, well, I said I was going to buy all of them in order (ie, Gundam Wing, then Deathscythe, then Heavyarms, etc) but I lied. I couldn’t hide my anticipation for Epyon. It’s […]
By Chris Troy And we’re back FP Faithful, with possible the most bi-polar article to date! Today we’ll be looking at the plethora of awesome new merchandise we’ve received based on the hit Cartoon Network […]
FIRST SHAMELESS PLUG OF 2012!!: Hey FP Faithful, on April 15th, I’ll be out in Chicago at C2E2, speaking on a panel titled “Cosplay: What You Didn’t Want to Know and Didn’t Quite Ask”. I’ll […]
By Loran Over the years in Transformers, we see characters take on a lot of different forms, pun not intended. We’ve seen a Smokescreen that was a Decepticon jet. We’ve seen Inferno as a crazy […]
