What's Your Obsession

For those who have tried to email me lately, you may have noticed I was using a temporary gmail address. You may also have noticed the site going down semi-frequently or other minor database issues. That was because the previous host I was on had turned to garbage. I’ve since switched the site over to [...]

Due to continuing issues with my webhost, while I can receive email at drteng@whatsyourobsession.com, I cannot send any out. I’ll be using a replacement drtengwyo@gmail.com for those who need to get in touch with me/companies I’m dealing with. For those waiting on email replies, this issue has been going on for almost two weeks now, [...]

Here’s a link to what they’ll be auctioning. More rare pieces as well as never-released prototypes. The Star Wars 12″ ones in particular seem pretty cool. Nothing I’ll be bidding on but you guys might want to check it out!

Tomopop article here.

No one is quite sure what this is going to mean yet but with the launch of Gentle Giant’s new site, they’ve announced they have the Marvel licence. It could be mini-busts, it could be animated maquettes, no one is sure. It seems to me it has to be something unique though because with so [...]

Here’s an update to that story! Bring on the lawyers, article here If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then China’s been sucking up to a lot of folks lately, this time in the form of a life-size knock-off of the famous 1/1-scale Gundam statue, located in Odaiba and Shizuoka. The Middle Kingdom’s version, [...]

Yep, they’ve gone back against that limiting shipments thing. I’d like the PDF again but this time I don’t have a translator, so you’ll just have to trust me on it. The only difference is some packages will take a little longer to process due to enhanced security screening but otherwise, you can continue using [...]

Keep in mind that while this doesn’t apply to the popular import stores like HLJ/Amiami, it will apply to smaller proxy retailers.
