This week in new toy releases!

Going to start this article off with a quick round of the  comparison game. The subject? Doing it right in terms of female statues. As you all can see there’s 2 images of statues on the left. One is the Bishoujo Female Commander Shepard (Mass Effect 3) by Kotobukiya. On her right is the Ame [...]

Master Grade Tallgeese II Preview

I remember back last fall when the Tallgeese MG was announced. I couldn’t even put into words how excited I was. This is something that was LONG overdue, especially since we already got a Katoki-style Epyon two years ago. It just seemed so out of place with the Gundams from the first half of the [...]

Master Grade Duel Gundam Build Log Finished

Man, I have the worst luck when it comes to picking kits these days, don’t I? I love kits with removable armor and just “full armor” variants in general. The gimmick is just really cool and adds extra dimensions of display and such. But unfortunately, I have to be one of those crazy painter types [...]

Master Grade Dual Gundam Build Log Part 1

Sometimes, I can get extremely motivated when working on kits. Usually it happens when it’s something I’m really excited to build, like the Nu Gundam ver Ka MG. Others, it’s because of what it isn’t. You see, the past two projects (the G-Armor and the Sinanju) have both been incredibly draining, from the gigantic pieces, [...]

Stand tall for the Beast of America. Or Againist. Your choice.

Welcome back to FPNYC’s offical Bioshock blog (Blogshock? Bioblog?)!! “REAL” Bioshock fans will get the reference in the title, which only make sense if you own a TV. And continue to not comment on the blog. Good times. I mentioned the existence of a “Bioshock Infinite” art book last week, and now that I’ve beaten [...]

The Semi-annual big ol’ look at Marvel toys

Happy St. Paddy’s day FPNYC Faithful! I thought about doing a special themed article tied into the holiday, but doing an all-green or all-Irish toy list [...]

Killer Klowns From Outer Space Toys In Stock

If you’ve never seen this amazingly campy sci-fi horror schlockfest you’re missing out.  No hyperbole. If you have experienced its majesty (“It’s Craazzyy!”) you most likely get all or part of The Dickies theme song stuck in your head every now and then, and are wonderfully haunted by images of popcorn guns and other sideshow grotesqueries. [...]

NORSE OFF THAN I WAS LAST YEAR

My New Year’s resolution to “Have Less Wacky Adventures” was going fine until I accidentally died in a mighty battle and was whisked away to Valhalla, the mighty hall of slain Nordic Warriors. Now I’m awaiting Ragnarok and playing beer pong with Baldur, Loki and the rest of the crew. Sigh, so wacky. Of course, it [...]

Somewhere Around The Number Ten Best Comics That Nobody Told You About

Part 1: I love Chris Ware. Bit redundant to say so this holiday season with everyone and their sister buying Building Stories, but with so much comic awesomeness that happened in 2012; between Charles Burn’s second installment to his X’ed Out trilogy, The Hive, and Brian K. Vaughn’s Saga…SAGA… It’s too easy for amazing comics [...]

EYE’M WITH STUPID

I’m on hold with tech support. Recently I upgraded my TV to an HD and my DVD to a Blu Ray. After I upgraded my cable to HDTV, I realized that the problem this entire time was ME. I’m still watching TV with the same eyes. I’d like to tell you had my eyes removed [...]

Hey look, more Play Arts!

Holy crap it is really December?! Ugh, this means I need to buy multiple gifts for people. And by gifts I mean video games and gift cards. My friends are actually kind of easy to shop for truth be told, but that’s money I could be spending on myself, especially if we’re going to end [...]
