Shin Getter Robo is a fictional mecha from Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa’s Getter Robo universe. It first appeared in the last volume of the Getter Robo Go manga, then made famous by the Super Robot Wars series of video games. It has appeared in two separate OVAs and several of Nagai and Ishikawa’s manga.

Fewture makes one of the best models out of all the companies, moveable and almost all in metal which is very impressive. They only have a few and the moment they sell out, they start selling in the thousands. This one is from the old school Shin Getter 1 from 1993 and its mean and I love it, I have the Great Mazinger and Mazinger 1969 which are very cool. I especially love the Giant Axe with Shin Getter 1, he just looks bad ass like that.

Lego is coming out with another massive Star Wars Lego Piece and this one is massive! At 1.2 meters long weighing 3.2 kilograms this is one massive Lego model, comprised of 3,152 bricks and pieces it will take a long time to put this together. With several parts and attachments to this massive piece you will even have a Darth Vader in the mix, and for all who don’t know the Super Star Destroyer Executor is Darth Vader’s personal ship. They have really done this piece justice and I can’t wait to get my hands on it, going on sale September 1st for $400. I have to make sure I get it before it goes into a collector edition right away then it will triple in price right away.

You can never have too many Gundam Models, and recently I got both colors of the Pyscho Gundam and one was turned into a space ship and the other one is in full Gundam mode. The model is one of the highest quality Gundams I have seen in a while, it really does look evil as it stands. Took me no more then 20 minutes to get it in spaceship mode and got them on their stands and on to the shelf. And right next to them is Macross model in battloid form as it sits on the shelf.

For a little while now I have had the ArtFX Star Wars Clone Troopers Set and I have been waiting for the oppertune time to put them together. Kotobukiya make some very cool models and three of these boxes have parts of one of the clone troopers to make a for a full Clone Troopers. I’m also getting my hands on the Jedi set soon and I do love my Star Wars.

That name knows no borders, we all watched him back in the 80s and many of us remember Grendizer foundly. Recently while traveling I came across this Grendizer model I picked it up right away without a second thought. This is larger model and I was happy that I saw when I picked it up, it fit perfectly next to all the other ones currently on my shelves.

When I saw Grendizer I remembered the theme song playing in Arabic and remembered watching it on the TriColor Sony TV we have back in the 80s. Kuwait TV Channel used to be so advanced back in the day, they dubbed the best shows and we all loved them. I hope that they restart the franchise again like they did Mazinger Z & Mazinkaiser.

Hot Rod was one of my favorite characters from the original transformers movie, I loved the character he played and the colors of his car. I never realized that Hot Rod was a sports car and a winnebago or Motor Home at the same time, that was a bit disappointing when I grew up and I thought thats an example of bad character development in the 80s. Still that didn’t stop me from thinking that he is one of the coolest autobot after Optimus Prime.

About 5 years ago I saw this model in a shop but it wasn’t for sale and I tried making an offer but the owner seemed stubborn and so I left the shop. Then a little while back as I was roaming Amazon Japan thanks to Google Translate, I can across this model for sale for about 16500 Yen or around $200. It took a bit but I managed to make the transaction work and got the order. Hot Rod is a stationary model but an exact replica of the one from original movie.

IT’s been a good year for RoboCop fans. First off, we’ve got that figma to look forward to, and now, theres this amazing 1/1-scale bust from Fred Barton Productions to enjoy. Standing 28″ tall and with only 200-250 of these being made, this hand-painted limited run bust really does look like the real deal, sculpted beautifully by RobocopArchive.com member Anticlaus. By the way, Anticlaus is also sculpting that RoboCop statue in Detroit (the one I’m now forced to go take the RoboCop figma to because I promised I would), so if anything, my excitement level for seeing that in its finished form just went up another tenfold.

I’m a huge fan of RoboCop and I always keep hoping that they will make a new movie soon, I keep hearing about the script but new directors keep coming in. From the late 80s to the early 90s, the coolest thing in the world is a human turned into a Cyborg! And he had the coolest gun, I think I thought Detroit might have Robots in the near future. I even used to draw the OCP logo every where, I loved those 80s action movies, and I want that movie to come out soon but for now you can have that amazing RoboCop or Officer Murphy on your desk.

The first thing that they worked on when developing this movie is the Light Cycle, they made a point to modernize it and develop for this movie and I think its a beautiful piece of design and machinary. Its probably one of the cool things during the first part of the movie, and now its availble to sit on your shelf. Its 25 centimeters long and looks amazing, the riders looks like a piece of the bike, a very nice piece to have for $270.

I have had this in a box for over two years hidden in my closet, I got the full set of Takara Transformers over the years, getting one model after the other. So to start it off I decided to open the Optimus Prime Convoy MP4, I have always wondered what it would feel like and how cool it would look.

I was completely wrong it looked so much better then I expected. Optimus Prime felt so realistic and heavy, he is made out of PVC plastic and metal. The build quality is better than one expects from a toy model and since I had a few others to unbox later I decided to transform him into vehicle mode which wasn’t too difficult, even though there were a few moments that brute force was required and I didn’t feel like being patient. After 20 minutes Optimus Prime was in vehicle mode and I was extremely ecstatic looking at the set on the shelf, I’m looking forward opening the other boxes soon.
