Unite Warriors Devastator
Unite Warriors Devastator takes the already-amazing Combiner Wars Devastor and makes it even better. The construction-equipment modes are the first thing you see after opening the box (which, sadly, doesn’t have the magnetic display flap previous UW figures did). They are all suitably large and bulky, especially Long Haul, who all-but dwarfs the others in […]
Lego Cuusoo Ghostbusters Ecto-1
30 years in the making, the best Lego set EVER…if you’re really into Ghostbusters. Otherwise, it’s just awesome. As always, a 3D version of this video is available on my channel.
Transformers: G1 Encore 01 Convoy (Optimus Prime)
Tried some new lighting and editing effects here. Not super happy with the outcome…but better than my previous attempt at a G1 Prime video. As always, the 3D version is available on my channel.
Transformers: Duel Model Kit DMK-01 Optimus Prime
An amazing…but incredibly frustrating Transformers model kit, almost perfectly representing Optimus Prime as he appeared in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. As always, the 3D version is available on my channel.
Transformers: Star Convoy (2005 reissue)
The very first Transformers toy I bought after moving to Japan! As always, the 3D version is available on my YouTube channel! Happy hobbying!
“Review” videos return!
Some all-new Hobby Drifter “review” videos are on the way! But this time, rather than listen to me drone on about the stuff that’s right in front of you, I’m going to let the videos speak for themselves. The stuff is presented in full HD (and in 3D for anybody who has the newest version […]
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Everybody’s talking about the new Power/Rangers unauthorized short film. I saw it. I thought it was fun. I wasn’t super thrilled to envision my childhood heroes winding up like that, but it was a compelling bit of fan film goodness, from a guy who has done wonders with the Punisher, Venom, and Judge Dredd. But […]
Super Mario Bros. Coffee Omake from DyDo
Did you know it’s the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros in Japan? The good folks at DyDo did, and they’re marking the occasion with a set of Super Mario Bros coffee premiums, or omake. This is an all-around NICE set of freebies, too. It ticks off every single one of my omake preferences and […]
Amazon Japan is AWESOME!
Amazon.com is awesome. I think pretty much anybody who’s not trying to compete with them wouldn’t argue that point. But it’s usually not ideal for geek stuff, toys especially. My toy habit of choice, for the longest time, was Transformers. Back when I lived in Chicago, my other TF-collecting buddies and I would gripe about […]
