Back from the Holidays
Greetings our loyal readers! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday whether it was a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Krazy Kwanza, or a Solemn Ramadan. We are here to bring you some good news as we are still full of the season’s spirit. Read on if you are a fan of action figures and mechas or if you happen to know someone like that and just forgot to buy them something!
There’s a little bit of fun waiting for you in Amazon
Fans of Mechas and anime related action figures are sure to know one word very well, “Revoltech.” Those that got a familiar ring but couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind it shouldn’t fret as we are here to explain. Revoltech is one of the best when it comes to making action figures in the Japanese market. Sure some may complain about a bit of the old, “doll joint” syndrome here and there, but most of their current lines are impressively well done.
Revoltech products are great; they look good and are very durable without having to pay a ridiculous price for them. They have some nice top of the line design and have gone off to create licensed figurines for famous anime titles, such as Fate/Stay Night.
Some of these great products can be found online at retailers such as J-list but if you don’t feel like importing at all you can always hit Amazon.com where you are bound to find a HEAP of them, including their newest release, the Assemble Borg line.
So, wait is this an ad?
Well, we weren’t paid for it so…no, it’s not. It’s just an announcement we felt like sharing with you as we received an e-mail from a Revoltech representative telling us of the Assemble Borg line’s release inside the US.
This is an Anime related site and a big chunk of that goes hand in hand with collecting figurines. I actually own a little bunch I managed to acquire over the years and am thrilled by the Assemble Borg line. Why? Well, it’s basically a Mecha styled set of figurines you can put together at your own leisure by switching their parts together. They look nice, are collectible and…well, the rest is best left for the description attached to the e-mail:
“Assemble Borg – Press Release
