I Appreciate Star Wars Too! Star Wars: The Black Series Dark Trooper

I'm more of a Star Trek person than a Star Wars person, but I do appreciate the latter and how it's relevant to my collection. I'm specifically talking about the various droid units you can see in the myriad of Star Wars media, like this guy. I find it funny how they needed to explicitly … Continue reading I Appreciate Star Wars Too! Star Wars: The Black Series Dark Trooper

Box Art Extravaganza… Not! Work-in-Progress #0: HG Gundam Exia & Gundam Astraea Dual Build

Following the MODEROID Ingrams, I've set my sights once again on Gunpla, and to a particular series I wanted to return to. It's also nice to see how Naochika Morishita's packaging illustrations went from a cell-shaded style... ... into something more akin to his usual style. Nope, this is not a box art extravaganza post … Continue reading Box Art Extravaganza… Not! Work-in-Progress #0: HG Gundam Exia & Gundam Astraea Dual Build
