The next Volks Try-GK kit is… YOKO!!!

The volks website is now accepting orders for the next kit in their Try GK line after their wonderful Saber, and it’s Yoko Rittoner (vs antispiral version)!!!

Oh god, that kit looks lovely, but I already have the Kotobukiya Yoko kit from 2007. I really can’t get this one without breaking one of my collecting rules… [...]

The London Cup 2009

For a while now, I’ve been putting excuses up about not having enough time to complete things, esp with regards to my model kits but this time I’m actually going to explain why! You see, a few months ago, I joined a local Kendo club, seeing as I has a taste of it many years [...]

The History of Memes

Came across this page from, of all places, the BBC news site and thought I’d share. It chronicles internet memes from way back when the internet was first invented. Unsurprisingly, not much happened for ages but then it all took off around the late 90s. Most of the usual suspects are there, Goatse, Menthos & [...]

Capcom Fighting Double Whammy!

I really should have posted this yesterday but, well…
Anyway Capcom have finally announced that Marvel Vs Capcom 2 will be released in the summer on XBLA and PSN. Everyone knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when. I’ll also admit that I am not a huge fan of MvC2 *dodges projectiles* I [...]

Specialist Publications

Question: How do you keep up to date with figure releases and event news?
I have a feeling that the answer for most people is by reading pages such as Dannychoo or specific forum pages. But I’m sure there are a few who buy japanese magazines to get their fix. The most prominent of which are [...]

new “help” page

Quick post this time round. I’ve been asked questions regarding how to build figures both from this blog and other communities for quite some time so I thought I would try and help people out by putting up a quick “help” section on the blog. Eagle eyed readers may notice that there’s a new page [...]

Hands on: Windows 7

As many of you will already know, the public beta of windows 7 was “leaked” recently and I I decided to take the plunge and try it out. At the moment, I’m using it as my main OS but I also still have my XP partition so I can flip back at any time without [...]

Another New(ish) UK online figure shop!!

Looks like TokyoToyz has a little competition now.

I found out about this site randomly through the E2046 newsletter. Not sure how I got myself onto the mailing list (prob when I registered my competition entry or something) but it gives occasionally useful info, like this, so I keep it around.
Anyway, on this weeks newsletter, they [...]

Minor Cleanup

Seems I had a little time on my hands today so I decided to tidy up a few things on my blog. Most of it is behind the scenes stuff, like adding tags to older posts, but it did give me a change to add the blogs of some of the more frequent visitors to [...]
