2019 sets off a new direction with a refresh providing opportunity to renew the passion on the hobby and collecting, then putting it all together through creative photography.
This is Plastic Crack — posts with content shared from other collectors that provide inspiration for the hobby or the unnecessary push to buy more stuff. I was once again doing my daily rounds of scouring hobby-related news when I stumbled upon a post from Dengeki Hobby Web reminding me that MAFEX Robocop 3 is … Continue reading Plastic Crack: MAFEX Robocop (Robocop)
Last May, the guys at Art Storm or Action Toys (seriously, I don’t what to really call them) revealed the Mini Action Series line of desktop sized yet fully transforming and combining figures.

Reviews would still be present, definitely, but they’ll be more of featured articles.
I’m hoping to further expand my visual story telling through more photos across the site. Whether it’s an old section like The CATALOGUE, the relaunched One Shots galleries, or even quick blog posts. That also includes the new photo-oriented and responsive site layout.
