 Spotted this on the figure section on 2Chan - useful side by side comparison of the new K-On! Figmas and the Mobips that were released a little while back. Was glad not to go for the K-On! Mobips when they were first released, the Figmas certainly seem more lifelike and dynamic as well as looking be...

Mikatan has announced the new secret figure that is part of the Vocaloid Petit Nendoroid series - a poseable, jointed Hachune Miku! It makes a quite a change from normal Petit Nendoroids as they're not jointed to the degree that this one is. It makes me wonder if this could be the forerunner of...

 Good Smile Company has announced some Figma releases which I thought I'd share as they're from series that I've seen and liked.
First up is Yomi Isayama from the series Ga-Rei: Zero. I loved the series, but there's just a little something about the face sculpting that puts me off slightly. I do lov...
 I recently took delivery of an Apple Airport Express, a wireless base station with a number of different capabilities. This review will tell you a bit more about it and help if you're thinking of getting one yourself.

As some may have noticed from my Twitter feed, I've now completed my Reborns Gundam kit - haven't painted it but still looks great. The quality and poseability of the kits has come a long way since the early Gundam Wing kits I once tinkered with.
Although I've only ever had a mild interest in ...

Whilst I was out in Japan, I kept an eye out for the release of the new Kagami Hiiragi Figma - luckily, she was released the day before we flew back! I already had the original Kagami Figma in winter uniform but decided to get this because of the extra Misao head it comes with.
This version of K...
