Revoltech, Figma, MMS, Impact Model and some other obscure brands. It seems that action figurines are quite the craze. Indeed, there is a wide array of brands to choose from. Hence, most people would probably just go for the brand which produces the characters that they like. The same goes for me. After all, as long as the action figurine looks good, and the price is right, there’s a high chance for it to be popular.
One flaw about action figurines, however, are the joints. Human action figurines with joints aren’t exactly the most pleasant looking things. For example, the Yoko on MMS and the figma Nagato Yuki. The Revoltech Revy had ugly joints too, but her weapons were rather cool.
On the other hand, joints are able to portray the realism of the mecha action figurines. After all, it’s the joints that make the figurines look like the real thing. Plus, you can fiddle around with it, unlike a scaled figurine.
I think I should get on with my opinions on the various action figure brands.

So this green-haired loli-looking character is so darn popular. Many are talking about her, and some are crazy over her. Why?
I have listened to some of the songs sung with her voice, but I am not really impressed. Sure, it was interesting on the first few listenings, but after a while, her voice kind of gets on my nerves. Now, I find her voice extremely irritating. I don’t see why people are so fascinated with her. Perhaps this is just my opinion which no one else would share.

I have been a fan of Battle Royale ever since I first watched the movie last year. I was amazed at the theme of the movie. It’s not everyday when you get to see a plot that revolves around 15 year olds killing their very own classmates. I went on to read the novel and the manga. Both were equally awesome in their own way. Especially the manga, which I have already reread countless times. And so, when Tokyopop came out with the Battle Royale Ultimate Edition, I was tempted to get it. And I did. The extras seemed promising, especially the commentary. Tokyopop was trying to milk BR fans, and they managed to milk my cash successfully.
Ultimate Edition MY ASS!!!
