This is the Ultraman in SH figure art forms, however Bandai called this lined up as Ultra-Act. This will be a good contender for “Revoltech” Kaiyodo. The height is about 16cm, highly articulated and posable.

This look like the best articulated Ultraman figure I’ve seen. Looks good in the cape too..

This is one of the most eagerly waited revoltech figure. Features Professor Layton based on the level 5 Nintendo DS videogame.

This figure will be out on 15 of march this year, will retail for ¥2400 (USD$26).

With this price this is a lot better figure as compare the resin one made last time, with the fraction of the cost also.. Can’t wait for luke figure to complete the collection, although I’m not sure if revoltech is making Luke version.

BM Project or Project BM are a special toys line up from Bandai. As posted on my previous post here are some better images on the Kaneda bike’s. It will be released next month together with the Shotaro Kaneda figures on March next year.

The Kaneda figures are made of PVC, hard plastic and real leather ( for the clothes ). You will get two type of head, the normal one and the one with googles on. Also comes with the battery pack and the laser gun connected to it.

This is probably the ultimate Akira Toys you cannot miss on March next year.

Akira is very well known anime, it have a deep political meaning of Japanese culture. Apparently Leonardo Dicaprio is already on take to make a movie out of it. Well, this news is not about that, is about this sick cool toys from Project BM. This bike is 1/6 scale of Kaneda’s Bike. Comes with 3 different LED color, blue , yellow and red for the dashboard. You can open up the bike’s body for inside mechanical works. Totally awesome, comes with heavy price tags of 39900 Yen, or about … 450 USD some Japanese online store have it for sale for about 300 US. Worth the money ?? Yes I think soo..

Supporting the second OVA remake of Evangelion. “You Can (NOT) Advance”. Medicom finally released the continuation for their evangelion kubrick revival.
Last september Evangelion 1.0 Kubrick was a big hit, this time it will includes Asuka and Kaworu plus Unit 3 and Unit 2 Eva.

“Destruction” Mali is also avalable but perhaps this will be included as chaser Kubrick.

Original release date is still on Marchl 2010.

Fender in coorpoeration with Yamano music are launching 2 guitar variant based on Evangelion Rei Ayanami. Both guitar are due to release by the end of this year. Apperantly both are for auction. So I’m sore there is much of crazy Otaku who will get this. Need to be careful that paint on the wood is aged deterioration with temperature and humidity, so you need to make sure to store this kind of guitar in not a humid air.

If you grew up on the 1990’s you must know about kenshiro “Fist of the North Star”. Apperantly this game just announced by Tecmo / Koei.

Koei used to make all of Musou game, but Hokuto Musou gameplay looked like a mixed between Tecmo Ninja Gaiden and the usual Musou / Dynasti Warrior game. Not sure how near is this game to its completion. Tecmo already announced they aim to sell 1 Million copy of this game upon release date. For now the game sure look so much promissing, check out the video link bellow.
