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

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider OOO SaGoZo Form Review
By Loran There wasn’t much that appealed to me early on in OOO. When I saw the big montage of all the possible forms, I just saw rainbow vomit. From what I’ve heard, most of […]

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
By Loran I think if Cobra had the HISS tank as its iconic land vehicle, the Joes had the VAMP. Sure, it may not be as well known as the Skystriker or the USS Flagg, […]
