Raideen Trump Card Set
Toy Review Content:
This is another set from Seika, this time it's the Raideen Trump Card Set. Why "Trump" Cards? According to Wikipedia: "Due primarily to the prevalence of the trump in card games, the term used in Japan for the standard 52-card deck of playing cards is toranpu (トランプ), derived from the English word "trump"."
This deck of cards comes with an outer sleeve, and inside the cards are encased in a pl ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
G2 Universe Mirage
Toy Review Content:
The G2 Universe Mirage was part of a Walmart-only sub line called the Toxitron collection. This figure is a repaint of the Kingdom Mirage mold, done up in the color scheme of an un-released concept for a G2 Mirage toy. Yes, that's a deep cut.
The box art is AWESOME.
The toy isn't bad either. Growing up in the 80s, when I saw how everything in the 90s was neon and "ex ..read more

Aunt Beru with Service Droid
Toy Review Content:
Poor Aunt Beru. She only wanted what was best for Luke, and as a result, gets toasted to a cinder by Imperial Stormtroopers.
Released in 1999 as part of the Power of the Force line, she was packaged with a Treadwell Service Droid, Blue Milk container, and Blue Milk glass. This was part of the Flashback Photo series that featured an image that changed by sliding down a tab. Figures release ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
Suletta Mercury
Toy Review Content:
Suletta Mercury is the main character from the series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. She's adorable. I was a big fan of the series, so I thought I would pick up a kit of her to display with the Gundam Aerial.
This is a Figure-rise Standard model kit, which is sort of a Gunpla for figures. It's like a DIY SHFigurarts, and the end result is very toy-like.
I'm not going to ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
Gundam Aerial
Toy Review Content:
I am, at best, a casual Gunpla fan. I enjoy building a model here and there, but I build them straight out of the box with maybe only the basic amount of panel lining. I think I am more about the process of assembly than having some ultra custom painted display piece. And even then, I tend to only pick up kits of characters from shows I like. And last year, I reall ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
Fantastic Idea Nutcracker
Toy Review Content:
The Fantastic Idea Nutcracker is a new release from JMBricklayer that mixes a Nutcracker with a gashapon machine. Why? Why not! In this sense it's more of a Mecha-Nutcracker, as it doesn't actually crack nuts at all. It's like a weird, post-Christmas fever dream and I am all here for it.
The kit contains 721pcs and is designed for ages 14 and up. It retails for 49.99 and is ..read more

Orchid Botanical Blocks
Toy Review Content:
These Orchid Botanical Blocks are made by a company called Melakiy. I had not heard of them before, but I like building things, so I figure why not? Building flowers and such is a recent trend in the building block world, with all sorts of brands cashing in. They are an interesting way to get some flora in your house without the risk of killing it. Just don't knock them over when you dust ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
The Super Shogun Optimus Prime is better off dead...
Toy Review Content:
Until the release of Unifive's Garada K7 Jumbo Machine, there wasn't much history of jumbos being re-released in alternate colorways but it is becoming more commonplace now as companies look to maximize their return on investment by re-using molds. One of the better ideas for this practice is this Optimus Prime (Fallen Leader) toy. In the classic 1986 Transformers Movie ..read more

Toy Review Summary:
Super Shogun Megatron
Toy Review Content:
I may have been disappointed with the Super Shogun Optimus Prime, but once I had him, there was pretty much no way I would turn down a jumbo of his arch nemesis, Megatron. If Optimus Prime was a dud at $350, how would Megatron fair at $395? Let's take a look.
The packaging is the now very familiar Super Shogun style. Shipping box (not shown), outer box and inner box. It's becoming a real hassle trying to f ..read more
