Grave in his groove:

I probably should've done more poses without the coffin...

Grave does the dew, and so should you!

Getting that coffin chained up isn't as bad as assembling Monev's ammo belts:

Complete with ratcheting shoulder joints (it needs it with that heavy coffin chained on the arms):

Well, I don't know if this was the big figure Mellow Yellow pointed out, but I was expecting it to be bigger. But here are the pics as promised:

I've seen used copies of the game go for $10, and its worth it for that price. Yeah, its a little short, but its just a check your brain at the door blast-a-thon. Swanky cutscenes too. As for the figure, I'll take some pics of mine when I get back home today.

Ahhh Gungrave-great blind, mindless, violence AND the ability to pose after firing a volley of death. I had fun with the game when it first came out, and the show looks promising. Has anyone checked out the action figure yet? I think its one of Kaiyodo's finest works.

Gawd, I've been waiting so long for that Su-35 to be back in stock. There seems to be something off with the sculpt that I can't put my finger on just yet, but it still looks great. Besides, its probably gonna be the only die-cast Su-35 in the market for a while...

Holy frickin cow. Um, I mean oooohh, ahhhhhh!

Sure, a VF-1S Strike would work. The parts I'm really interested in are the previously mentioned mounts for the fast pack boosters. I'm only hoping that there is enough demand for 1/60 parts. Anybody else out there need some 1/60 parts?

Neova, Could a fast pack equipped 1/60 be dismantled for your service? I lost a set of mounts (used to connect the fast pack boosters to the backpack) while making some customs and I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I am soo glad Hasegawa is delving more into sci-fi/games genres. I'd be one happy modeler if they ever make a Cypher variant. And seeing all this talk makes me wish VOOT or VOM had online support. I would love to take you guys on with my Fei-Yen or Raiden .

The Gunsight-One logo gets my vote.

They're just hitting the shops as we speak (type?). They shouldn't be too hard to find in the coming weeks. But I got mine from Neova for $165 .

Yeah, this game is basically a Diablo clone (without all the mouse clicks) with a Lodoss War setting. The story is totally separate from any of the events in the anime, but it does add some interesting background info. If you dig Lodoss War and Diablo, this game is definitely worth a look.

Comparing Aero Elite vs. Ace Combat is like comparing apples and oranges. Aero Elite is the closest you'll get to a flight sim on any console. While not as meticulous as any top grade PC flight sim, it features a lot more realism than in all the Ace Combat games combined. Training missions in AE may seem mundane, like performing a successful barrel roll, loop, etc., but it does pay off after playing a lot of AC (where flight physics just go out the window). Graphics-wise, Sega's AM2 division did a bang up job with the plane models (I think they were even assisted by the JSDF), but Namco's renditions are just a tad better. However, AE does allow you to pilot helicopters and Harriers, something the AC series has yet to feature. AC, on the other hand, gives you really pretty planes with a truckload of missles and bombs to blow crap up. You can't go wrong with that (ignore Lethal Skies, Top Gun, etc.). Anyhoo, they're both fun games, just on different levels.

The new characters look generic and bland. I haven't played any of the polygonal fighters based on SNK games, but from my experience of the Street Fighter EX games, I can say that I don't have high hopes for this title.

I think it's your best custom so far, Devin. Love the fast packs on this one.

Just one choice for me: Sazabi! The Nu would be cool too.

A-6 Intruders still active in 2010? Sweeeeet!
