A TITANIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

  • February 25, 2013

Can you hear it? That’s the sound of excitement…

Can you feel it? That buzzing in the air? That’s the sound of anticipation…

The moment foretold by history has (once again) arrived:

We’re going back to JAPAN!

Bernard is going to be awestruck. And having him with us will make it like the first time all over again 🙂

I can, quite literally, hardly wait!

BioBoost!

  • February 19, 2013

OMG! Just the other day, Max Factory Japan announced a whole new series of Figma’s, which included such stuff as Avengers, Bruce Lee, Spider Man, dozens of new anime characters and… well, and this guy:

Guyver_zps53028622

Yes my friends, a new Guyver figure! And a Figma at that!

It’s like God came down from Heaven to give me an early birthday present 🙂

But the news doesn’t stop there! I also recently read that the long-delayed Alcanfel bio-fighter model kit has not been canceled and will one day be released. Here’s a shot of it, as displayed at Winter Fest 2008:

He’s (one of) the ‘big bads’ of Guyver, and I’d love a good kit of him. Here’s what he looks like in the series:

All this excitement makes me want to spring $270 for the Imakarum Miribalis kit, which is the only bio-fighter I don’t have. Here’s a shot:

It’s available on Amazon right now. But $270?!?! That’s crazy isn’t it? It’s more than double what I paid for Pluqstahl (almost six years ago now!).

But my birthday is fast approaching…

I was going to call it Apotheosis Of The Machine-Brain but that name is apparently already taken 😛
