I just posted last week Hiya Toys’ Exquisite Basic MFS-3 Kiryu / Mechagodzilla and how amazing it might be as an alternative to the much harder to get, and more expensive, S.H.MonsterArts version.

I’m still scratching my head from the fact that we got a kit from the obscure manga Double Fake: Under the Gundam.

Retaining that rigid definition of being “a comprehensive index with the primary purpose of tracking and organizing collectibles.”, it basically means CATALOGUE entries are not reviews but more of my overall thoughts and impressions on a figure or model kit. Reviews would still be present, definitely, but they’ll be more of featured articles.
I’m targeting further expansion of 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.
