We are not done with stirring up your nostalgia yet. Before the retro-licious Arcee toys, Takara Tomy had revealed another reboot of two strangely alluring characters: Sunstreaker and his twin Cordon. And yes, their retro, faithful to the OG versions look is not for everyone. Obviously, the Takara Tomy Missing […]
Let’s face it. Toys from the past are ugly as f*@k but our damn nostalgia feelings think they are all so precious now. It is a strange phenomenon. Nostalgia is exactly what many toymakers are preying on consumers, and the latest to tickle the nostalgia in grown-ups is none other […]
If you’re a die-hard mecha anime fan, you’ve probably dreamed of seeing your favorite giant robots from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Macross Delta the Movie: Passionate Walküre, Getter Robo Arc, Aura Battler Dunbine, and more team up to kick some villainous butt. Well, that dream is now a reality—at least, […]
One of the most underrated live-action Batman villains is finally getting the high-end collectible treatment. We are talking about Mr. Freeze, as played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, from 1997’s Batman & Robin, and it looks fantastic—well, at least it is in photographs.

The half-bear, half-Kubrick figure is rolling out in full Optimus Prime mode with BAPE, aka A Bathing Ape, again. This time, the Japan streetwear brand has lent two of its eye-catching iconic designs to BE@RBRICK: Baby Milo and BAPE Camo Shark. Standing 280 mm (11 inches) tall, the BE@RBRICK × […]
It is regrettable that I did not feature more of threezero’s take on the Anime Ultraman other than the Ultraman Suit Taro (which I have acquired, by the way). If you’re a fan, then your anime Ultraman collection simply isn’t complete without Jack. That’s right—threezero has finally revealed the missing […]
Optimus Prime has battled Decepticons, Unicron, and the occasional continuity error. But now, he’s entering new territory: the world of Monster Hunter. Following the fiery debut of Liolaeus Prime, Takara Tomy returns with the Transformers Takara Tomy Monster Hunter Silver Rathalos Prime. This Synergenex Series figure transforms from the familiar […]
If the rumors about Lee Jung-jae’s US$1-million-per-episode paycheck are true, he’s officially the highest-paid Korean actor. And if he negotiated royalties for toys based on his likeness, well, let’s just say he’ll be swimming in even more won. Why?
