Otacool book signing

Got to attend the Otacool book signing event in front of Kotobukiya's store in Akihabara yesterday. I bought a copy and had my good friend Danny and the lovely Ai Amano sign it for me. ^^

Danny and Ai Amano smiling for the camera.

Signatures on my copy of Otacool. Now looking to get signatures from people who had their collections featured in the book!

Really amazing collections gathered in the book. I'm jealous! I noticed some of the collectors featured are my customers! ^^ Once I get my collection properly rearranged, I'll submit photos for the second volume!

Revoltech Expo 2009 - Tokusatsu Revoltech

There had been sneak peeks in various hobby magazines, Revoltech catalogs, and at last year's Wonder Festival for their latest addition to Kaiyodo's Revoltech family--the Tokusatsu Revoltech. At this year's Revoltech Expo, they officially unveiled the lineup of the new Tokusatsu Revoltech series that offers action figures of sci-fi characters and creatures from blockbuster American movies to Japanese kaijyuu TV shows, anime, and movies. The first entry stars none other than the xenomorph from the Alien movie franchise!

I got to pick up and play with a sample of the Alien figure at the expo, and noticed that the level of detail and paint application were absolutely phenomenal. Hope the final product will turn out as good. Really looking forward to this one. Set for release in Spring 2010. Price TBA.

Alien egg with face hugger to be included with the Alien figure. Face hugger is not poseable and can't be removed from the semi-translucent egg base. Would be nice if the Alien figure comes with a face hugger accessory by itself to latch on to other figure's faces!

Also part of the first lineup in the Tokusatsu Revoltech series is Daimajin to be released in conjunction with the new Daimajin TV show due to air sometime next year.

Not sure why Kaiyodo thinks a Revoltech figure of Kaijyuu Booska would be a good seller. Sure there's a fan base in Japan for the comical creature, but it surely wouldn't reach anywhere near the sales figures of Godzilla (big possibility we'll see a Tokusatsu Revoltech figure soon IMO!) and maybe no more than a hundred for overseas sales to a small group of Booska fans and Revoltech completists.

Looks almost like a recreation of the Gamera vs. Gyaos movie poster! Both will be released 1 month after Alien and Daimajin.

Next up will be Giant Robo & GR2.

Kaijyuu that goes by the name Paragon. Not sure which show it is from though.

Awesome Jack Skellington figure! Nice diorama base, too. Is it just me or does the base look like it is in a shape that can be lined with future Nightmare Before Christmas figures' bases to form a connecting diorama? Hmmmm...!!

One of the big surprises at the Revoltech Expo that got everyone talking was T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Pure awesome!

Looks like the powered suit from Starship Troopers will get the Revoltech treatment as well. Articulated powered suit with fixed-pose pilot figure.

The biggest announcement of all at the expo that got everyone's attention was definitely the Batman (Batman Begins version) Revoltech figure! That's another figure added to my 2010 buy list!

Revoltech Expo 2009 - Macross

Kaiyodo revealed a big surprise at this year's Revoltech Expo with their brand new lineup of transformable Valkyries that I translate as Revoltech 3 Mode Change Valkyrie. No official English translation of the series yet but that's my take on the name translated in English.

Each Valkyrie can switch between three of its main modes: Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid. You'll need to do some parts swapping and attaching stuff though like the canopy piece, hands, and possibly the head.

First to be released will be Roy's VF-1S Movie ver. due out in January.

Looks decent from top down in Fighter mode but it does look kinda fat from the sides.

Hikaru's VF-1J TV version.

Hikaru's VF-1A movie version.

Retails for 2,400 yen (inclusive of tax) each. Proportions just doesn't look right to me. I'll stick with Yamato's 1/60 Valkyries instead. What do you think about Kaiyodo's transformable Valks?

Revoltech Expo 2009 - Assemble Borg

Kaiyodo showcased their Assemble Borg lineup but nothing new announced though. Just some more stuff we've seen in the past with no release dates.

Very impressive Assemble Borg robot custom with pilot siting inside the chest cockpit. I dare not guess how many figures were used and how much it cost to build such a massive custom! ^^;

Barrels Speeder Lightning Cougar Custom. Just got this in last week and have a couple extras for sale as of this writing. Those who are interested please email me for details!

Tristriker. Saw this a couple years back and they still have the release date under TBA!

The next Assemble Borg lineup will feature these three sentai-looking original figures. Release TBA. The one above is named Sonic Slasher.

Ghost Gunner

Panzer Puncher
