If you're a gamer this past generation there's just no way you haven't heard about Tekken or Kazuya Mishima. If not, seriously, Google it, man! Used to be a big fan of the franchise and though my "fighting" days are far behind me now I still wouldn't miss the chance of getting one of the icons of one of my favorite video game franchises.
The Play Arts Kai Kazuya Mishima figure is certainly well-made, though definitely wanting accessory-wise. The figure made up for it with excellent sculpt and paint apps. Kazuya's face is very exceptional also, one of the "dead-on" to the game model figures from the PAK line-up.

Playing Mantis
You know what a 3D printer is? Yeah, those things that make things out of... powdery things. I'm not sure how it works exactly, but when I first saw it being demonstrated a few years ago, my first thought was "you can totally make awesome toys with that thing." Every tiny detail can be printed out and that's exactly what Playing Mantis did.
They're a group of budding toy designers and game developers based in the Philippines. I know one of them; does that make me awesome by association? No? Okay.
Anyhoo, they've done some pretty impressive things so far and seriously, they've only just begun. Here's one of their projects and to say it is incredible would be an understatement. Meet Optimus Prime Micro.
You know this guy is micro in size, but how small is he really? And if Optimus is small, how minute is that thing carrying his gun? Also, I may be losing geek points for not knowing what that thing is, so save me by filling me in.
Micro Optimus is, in fact, only about 2 inches tall. Here he is next to Hall of Heroes Flint. What's devastatingly mindblowing about this thing is that IT ACTUALLY TRANSFORMS.

Last time I played a Tomb Raider game was a few good years ago and to be quite honest, I didn't appreciate it that much back then. A few years later, I ended up liking games where you can freely roam around a certain map -- sandbox games, appreciating details a bit deeper, gameplay and definitely the most important thing, the story. We have an existing review of the game written by Bim Barbieto. You may refer to that if you want to have an idea about the game.
Here, I'll share to you my review of the official action figure by Square Enix Products for the Tomb Raider game.
The figure comes with a decent amount of accessories and even those are detailed. Some of my photos may show a different set of bow and arrow since the default bow and arrow has no string, just a wire placed as a string. The extra set is from the bootleg AC3 figure that you can find at 168 or GH. Other accessories include the Climbing Axe, 1 hand gun and 1 shotgun. There's one alternate left hand and 2 right hands. It's up to you what you think will work well around the accessories or poses. Lastly, the figure comes with a stand, which they first introduced for the Raiden figure.

I grew up hating villains as a kid and I love seeing them get defeated by my favorite characters. Spider-Man has a great number of foes and there are iconic ones among them. I grew up looking at Venom as Spidey's main rival though. Through the years, there have been notable hosts for this sentient alien -- the first one was Spider-Man until he realized its true nature. After separation, Eddie Brock became the next host. There are other hosts that followed like Ann Weying, Patricia Robertson, Angelo Fortunato (love the face insignia!), Mac Gargan (Dark Avengers) and the latest one - Flash Thompson, who calls himself Agent Venom.
Yotsuba To: Danboard Mini Model Kit
It's been almost four years since I bought my Revoltech Danboard. Ever since then, I've been wanting to make my own Gestalt Danboard, but since 2009, the price on the RT Danboards have skyrocketed. When I first got mine, I got a quote for 6 pieces and it was something like Php 6,000. Nowadays that would run you well into Php 15,000 for the same quantity, depending on which version you got. Even the RT Danboard Minis were too expensive for my blood.
