I decided to get onto the bandwagon and get one for myself, including the targetmaster addon, Sidearm. The Protector addon requires the Transformers United or Generations Hot Rod/Rodimus figure, depending on which pack or version you get. Once put together, you [...]

The event will be held very soon from 11 – 14 March at Resorts World Convention Centre. The [...]

You always knew that any storyline with the Quintessons was going to be bad ass. The Judges were the iconic face of the Quintesson race. The 5 faces would put fear into any bot. Impossible Toy’s 3rd party figure is pretty well sculpted, save [...]

The names of these 3rd party Insecticons may suck, but their quality sure makes up for it. Fansproject has come up with another well made figure. The joints are firm and tight, and the paint job is good.

Their past renditions of G1 Transformers were really well done. The preview pics of their movie Optimus Prime looked really good and the actual figure is awesome! The figure came in their current packaging which displays the many poses the figure is capable of articulating. One [...]

FansProject has seen fit to come up with their interpretations of these classic characters. The first of which is Insecticon commander, Shrapnel. Or Thundershred as FansProject calls him FansProject are one of the better 3rd party Transformers producers around. And their packaging [...]

This new box set of a repainted War For Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron is no different. The set comes in a nice black & white box. The repainted War for Cybertron Optimus Prime is supposed to be his [...]

I was skeptical about his appearance in the movie, but am happy to have been proven wrong. Shockwave looked awesome in the movie, though his character seemed different to his comic and cartoon versions. He was [...]

There aren’t any popular toy shops that I could find except for Mandarake. Can always trust them to be around. Mandarake is not too far from Tenjin Station, about 5 – 10 min walk. Where the main shopping area in Fukuoka is. There is a [...]

Though I feel Tokyo’s Akihabara has a better edge and more variety of toy shops. One of the better places to visit is Herogangu.com. It’s at the corner of the block as in the picture above. The shop has [...]
