Shadow of the Summer Box Office
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, […]

Transformers Prime Knock Out Review
It seems that with every recent Transformers production, there has been that one character that the fans just love. It could be based on how they are on-screen or how they’re played off in their […]

HGUC Jesta Review
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 […]

HGUC Juaggu Review

HGUC Marasi (Unicorn Version)
Before I started working on this kit, my friend and I were discussing some of the mobile suits from Zeta Gundam just aren’t cool. Sure, everyone likes the major mecha, but what about some of […]

Transformers Prime Ratchet Review
Ahh, Ratchet. What a great Transformers character. Be it the original Ratchet who was [supposed to be] a crazy party animal that almost flunked out of med school, or the modern interpretation that’s more of […]

The Summer of Marvel (part 2)
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 […]

Transformers Prime Megatron Review
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 […]

Summer Kitbash Projects 1
And as always, I keep buying MSV kits without even thinking about it… Really, to me, buying an MSV is something like getting an accessory pack. Sure, you need to do a lot of work […]

The Summer of Marvel (part 1)
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 […]

MSiA Extended Gelgoog (Igloo version) Review
While I was always more into the model kits, during Gundam’s short-lived heyday in America, I was actually a little more into the action figures. It was out of convenience, really. The American action figure […]

Upcoming HGUC Releases for Summer 2012
