Comic Con or Connot
There’s only three things that come out of my mouth: Spit, Carbon Dioxide, and the ever lovin’ truth. “But Unkiedev,” I hear you stammer, “ What about Vomit?” You heard it hear first, kids; Vomit ain’t nuthin’ but glorified spit. This past comics book week I had the privilege to read the funniest frickin’ comic [...]
G.I. Joe Ninja Dojo Set Part 3 Beachhead
As much as I hate to say it, Beachhead is one of those characters in G.I. Joe that never really jumped out to me. While I was more of a comic fan, the toys came first. If a character didn’t have any cool toys, they just weren’t interesting to me. Beachhead was one of those [...]
G.I. Joe Retaliation Roadblock Review
For reasons unknown to me, Roadblock was always one of my favorite characters in G.I. Joe. I could never really understand why—heck, he only had, what, one GOOD mold during the entire O-ring era of G.I. Joe? I don’t know, there was just something appealing to me about a gigantic, muscular black guy who spends [...]
GI Joe Ninja Dojo Set part 1 Kamakura
For the G.I. Joe Retaliation line, it seems like Hasbro has been making a big push for the ninjas. You know, as if they never did that before. As a result, we’re getting all sorts of toys released with “ninja” somewhere on the package, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. But hey, most [...]

Any inquiries should be sent to our sales department or to Manager Jeff Ayers until they get of their collective butts. And [...]
IDW FTW
My hat is off to IDW, as they are truly showing the other companies what it means to publish comics in the new millennium. They publish the most mainstream of mainstream titles, but find the coin to get the nicest, small interest art books on the shelves to boot. They have all the prestige of [...]
The Challenge of GBWC 2012
Well folks, it’s that time of year again. It’s time for Otakon. While all of my friends spend countless hours trying to get all their cosplays done in time, I find myself relaxing while working on my Gunpla projects for the Gunpla Builders World Cup! Hey, it helps to have a friend that makes your [...]
Kitbash Time! Johnny Ridden’s Gelgoog
Ah yes, it’s time for one of those kitbashes I’ve wanted to do for years. Back in 2008, I made a huge order from HobbyLinkJapan of old Gundam kits. I went for two Dodais, three Ball sets (this was before the HGUC), two Core Boosters, three Magella Attack tanks, the Full Armor Gundam, the GM [...]

Revoltech 119 Gurren Lagann Review
Note: I’m not sure if it came like this or I somehow misplaced it, but my Gurren Lagann is missing its left hip armor. I should have been paying attention. If this is a factory error, I’d keep an eye out. You know, it just occurred to me that after all these years, I’ve never [...]

New Arrivals: Tiger and Batman
::: Insert an 1,000 word capslock word-vomit article about San Diego Comic Con News and the arrival of his Figma Samus Aran figure here:: Honestly, if I could get away with that folks, I would. Doing my best to ignore new developments over at SDCC, let us take a look-peak at what’s new on the [...]
HGUC Powered GM review
God I love GMs. No matter how you dress them up, they’re still Gundam’s equivalent of Star Trek’s “redshirt”, but hey, they sure as hell look cool. I always feel like they get passed by in the HGUC line, but really, Bandai’s close to having all of the animated versions in HGUC form; even the [...]

After a long hiatus, Morgan Pielli’s Pile of Mini’s returns. And just in time to have my heart broken by this weeks batch of comics! Yes, the theme for the week is love lost, and so let’s pull up a pint of Neapolitan and dig right in. I’ll Take You to the Moon & Leave [...]
