On Friday, November 23rd–yes, that would be Black Friday–Forbidden Planet NYC is holding an IN-STORE SALE! For that day only, take 25% off all graphic novels and manga in stock, plus 10% off everything else! […]
Dear Mother Nature, YO, QUIT IT, SHIT’S PLAYED OUT! No love, Chris Troy Greeting FPNYC Faithful! If you’re anything like me (first off, let me say that I’m sorry to hear that), you’re quite tired […]
So last Thursday my wife gave birth to our first child. #Overrated. I had always thought that my son would have a great love of comics like his old man. So far Unkiedev Jr. likes […]
Let’s be BRUTALLY honest here. I love robots. You and I know that very well, but god, how could anything top that Sailor Moon Figuart announcement? Well, at this point, nothing really could, but that […]
Tamashii Fest is here yet again!! It seems every year Bandai shows off some really awesome stuff at Tamashii fest and you have to wonder how they can outdo themselves. Somehow, they manage to find […]
Secret confession time! I’ve actually built a Master Grade Zeta Gundam 2.0 before. Well, that one was the Limited Edition White Unicorn version, and I did that just a few months before I started taking […]
( Chris here-FPNYC IS CLOSED TODAY, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COME TO THE STORE FOR ANY REASON!) One project down, god knows how many more to go. I’ll have to admit to not doing many […]
Man, if you don’t love the Zeta Gundam, I don’t think we can be friends. If there’s one star Gundam that embodies the 80’s, it’s this one. Transforms? Check. Well-placed color scheme? Check. Sleek and […]
Just in time for Halloween (and with the predicted Mayan end-times less than two months away: hurrah!), FPNYC is carrying Living Dead Dolls Presents: Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Based on symbolic figures of doom […]
Ha ha, I bet you guys are getting tired of seeing these, aren’t you? Were it the summer, this little project would be done already. Since I’m stuck at school or work pretty much every […]
NYCC was a thing that has happened! To about 116,000 people if the numbers are correct. That is a lot of people! Like 9,000 short of SDCC a lot! But very few of them write for […]
With the Black Tri-Stars Zaku out of the way, I can finally work on a project that I’m totally dedicated to. I’m sure anybody who’s ever been some kind of artist would sympathize with the […]
After sitting in the corner of my bedroom at the total bottom of my backlog (seriously, below both the Qubeley AND the G-Falcon Double X), my first ever Master Grade Zaku II 2.0 is completed. […]
NECA’s new Prometheus toys have just arrived! Part of me absolutely frakkin’ loves this movie. The other, logical, side digs it almost as much despite its occasional mad-dopey moments. Point of fact… I was raging […]
Also known as, “Sophia’s adventures in chrome stripping”. Before Bandai put out variants such as the Hyaku Shiki Master Grade with the Ballute, and the High Grade with the Hyper Mega Launcher, the only way […]
As of writing we’re only DAYS away from this year’s New York Comic Con, and once again I’m super excited for it. As I have been every year. You’d honestly think I’d get over it […]
Ah yes, the Master Grade Zaku version 2.0… I remember how excited everyone was for this kit five years ago. Back then I couldn’t accept the idea of a new design for the Zaku because […]
Hey guys, remember when I was doing a build log of the Master Grade Wing Gundam? Yeah… sorry about that. Basically, I got busy with the end of the school year. That’s the short answer. […]
To say I was excited about the Master Grade Epyon would be an understatement. It really came out of left field. Yeah, Bandai was doing the Wing Ver Ka Master Grade last year, but I […]
OH LOOK IT’S OCTOBER! THIS MEANS NEW YORK COMIC CON IS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS, AND WE ARE SOLD OUT OF TICKETS. ALL OF THEM. THEY ARE NO MORE! Don’t fret though if you […]
