Kaiyodo Goes Into Plamodels: Do-Yanen 1/35 Sturm Kafer (from “Maschinen Krieger”)

I've primarily known Kaiyodo from their Revoltech-based action figure lines. And while they do offer other stuff, I believe this is what they're most known for. Now, it looks like they wanted to expand to the hobby market with their new Do-Yanen line of plastic model kits, not really sure what "Do-Yanen" means but I'll … Continue reading Kaiyodo Goes Into Plamodels: Do-Yanen 1/35 Sturm Kafer (from “Maschinen Krieger”)

Farmer Rei is Best Rei! Evangelion Evolution Rei Ayanami (Evangelion 3.0+1.0)

Because EVA: Evangelion Evolution Shinkalion 500 Type EVA

We got a Shinkalion and Evangelion crossover some time ago when a Shinkalion unit with an EVA-01 head and color scheme appeared, piloted by a more cheerful version of Shinji Ikari. With Good Smile Company releasing Shinkalion kits under their MODEROID line, I was expecting its model kit would be announced sooner or later.
