For the 100th Nendoroid release, they decided to do something a little different. They made a Mickey Mouse figure! I’ve never seen a Mickey figure that had decent display options until this one so I grabbed him, check out my thoughts below. Quick Buying Options : Less limited than I expected, it’s been on sale [...]

Previewed about a year ago, like many Miku products (not that there aren’t about a thousand statues), it was delayed for a bit. But finally, the Good Smile Company Love is War Miku statue is up for order! There are two versions available, the regular one on the stage and the much more expensive DX [...]

This is one of the nicer looking anime styled statues I’ve seen in a long time. With a unique base, a super casual and cool pose and a cute character, I imagine this will be a smash hit with fans. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen the show and I doubt most of my visitors have either, [...]

Tomopop has an interesting report about it. Now there’s no guarantee that their speculation is accurate, but it seems well reasoned. If you look through the comments, it appears you can add items from the Japanese version of the site to your cart, then check out in the English version. A pain in the ass, [...]

Another stunning addition to the Good Smile Company line of Saber statues, here’s Saber Alter. I’ve always been impressed by how consistently good GSC’s action poses are.

I’d never heard of Phat! Company before, but apparently they’re run by Good Smile Company, so no worries about quality. If you’re into the whole Vocaloid thing, check out this upcoming Lily statue, which should go for about $70 in 1/8th scale. While I don’t care for Vocaloid stuff too much, I will say they [...]

Yet another Nendoroid being released before the end of the year, this time Good Smile Company is bringing a new version of Haruhi. I’ve never seen the show so I have no clue what’s up, but man, toy companies need to release little accessory packs for these things. I’d totally buy a desk or a [...]

I didn’t realize there were Yu-Gi-Oh fans that were dedicated enough to the series to want to pony up the massive prices Good Smile Company is charging for these (but given their size, I’m not surprised). They’re a little over 2 feet long and wide, and about a foot and a half tall. You’re looking [...]
