What's Your Obsession

Today I’m taking a look at the version of Jean Grey I’m most familiar with, the 90s suit, as recreated in statue form by Bowen Designs. Though I’d started reading X-Men before she wore this costume, this costume was prominant in many of the issues when I was absolutely hooked on the series. This costume [...]

Seemed as good a time as any to make a new feature for the site. I do a LOT of business on Ebay, much as I’d prefer not to, so why not save people some of the bad experiences I’ve had on the site? I’ll publish my Ebay block list soon enough but for now, [...]

Some more Chara Hobby convention coverage from Hobbystock again, a sneak peek of Alter’s Flynn Scifo statue from Tales of Vesperia.

I’ve never heard of Embrace Japan before, but if I can they’re putting out statues that can nail the reference art this well, I should probably keep an eye on them. In this case, this Diabolus Inclinatus looks pretty great and will be available for about $80 at whatever import shop you frequent. It’s a [...]

Hope you Guilty Gear fans have some spare dough laying around, Alter’s releasing what looks to be the nicest Dizzy statue yet. No details on price yet, this was shown at the Chara Hobby convention (coverage by Hobbystock).

Sue Storm statue gallery It’s going to come in at $185 for the regular and $190 for the exclusive, with a print. I know people complain about print exclusives (in some cases it’s quite justified), but it’s not bad looking and for $5, I think it’ll do just fine. Nice price overall on the statues, [...]

I mean she’s clothed but I think most workplaces would frown upon this. Remember that cute Super Soniko statue a couple months back? Seems Yamato is giving the character is another one, a “bondage” version. I have no clue where the bondage is in this statue, but hey. I’m getting this from a Spanish blog [...]

I didn’t much enjoy the face at SDCC, so I’m glad to see Kotobukiya went back and improved it, it’s looking much nicer now and I can’t wait to see the official pics of Rogue here.

This gigantic Russian beast of a statue arrived a while back but I’ve been so backlogged, it’s taken me a long time to get to this review. Popcultureshock previewed this enormous Zangief ages ago and I’ve had it on display for a bit, so check it.

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 [...]
