HGUC Schuzrum Dias review
By Loran Towards the end of Double Zeta Gundam, I have to wonder if there was some sort of budget crisis with the model kits. In the series, you start seeing old suits and variations […]

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider W Heat Trigger & Heat Joker

HGUC Gundam GP01fb Review
By Loran I feel really weird building and reviewing the older HGUC Gundam kits these days. I remember when these things were the best kits you could buy at the scale. Back then, the only […]

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Birth review
By Loran Ever since Kamen Rider Agito, secondary Riders have become a staple of the franchise. I personally have no problem with it; heck, the original series had Riders 1 and 2 working alongside each […]

Cobra Black Dragon VTOL Review
By Loran With the miniscule amount of toys G.I. Joe Renegades seems to be getting, it’s a miracle we’re seeing any vehicles at all, especially one that isn’t the Coyote. We did get to see […]

G.I Joe VAMP Mk. II Review
