D-Arts Zero

Dr. Wily has been building robots for all his life for the sole purpose of besting his rival, Dr. Light and his creation Mega Man. After countless failure in doing so, Dr. Wily bested himself in the creation of Zero, who he consider as his greatest master piece.
Out-of-box content of the figure.
Front view of Zero. This Zero is in his first configuration which comes with a round shoulder pad.
Close up on Zero. Love the face sculpt!
In this configuration, Zero used a Buster cannon as his main and only weapon.
This figure comes with the charge shot effect which is neat.
There is a third head sculpt with eyes staring at the right corner of the head.
The Maverick Hunter is here! I was satisfied with X so I bought Zero when it was up on the shelves. I must admit that I am very impressed by this figure (if i were to compare it to those Revoltech figure)in terms of accuracy, paint job, articulation and accessories. This is a must have if you need a figure to pair up with our blueboy. :D

Revoltech Sci-Fi #035 Iron Man Mark II

After returning home from his near-death experience in the hands of a group of terrorist, Tony delved further into developing a suit which is far superior than it's predecessor. With that in mind, the Mark II was born.

Out-of-box content. This comes with the little accessories. Why am I not surprised?

Front view of the figure. The stainless steel like coating is really attractive. This is one of the main selling point.

Back view of the figure. This version of the suit is covered with rivets. From head to toe. Makes you wonder what did Tony used to piece all the later version of the suit with.

Close up. Looks pretty good for a prototype.

Another selling point for this figure is the LED gimmick. Kaiyodo took the time to install a LED inside the torso of the figure which imitates the illumination from the arc reactor.

Let us go for a test drive.

Arc reactor functioning in full capacity.

Tony used this suit extensively to develop flight control for his later suit.


This figure comes with Tony's head. Like usual, Kaiyodo does not seems to be able to nail it right with facial feature but I guess this will pass as "Tony Stark".

One of a kind. The slim Mark II and the weaponized bulky War Machine.

This figure is another nice addition to the Iron Man series. I have come to accept the the good and the bad for this series but Kaiyodo should really consider including more accessories with their upcoming release.

Saint Seiya Myth Cloth - Garuda Aiocos

Along with Gryphon Minos, Garuda Aiacos appeared on the scene during the fight between Wyvern Rhadamanthys and Gemini Kanon. Garuda immediately took an interest in the battle and hit Kanon with the "Galactic Illusion".



Front view of Aiocos.



Aiocos' eyes were obscured by his bang, similar to Minos. The last picture shows a glimpse of his eyes.

One of Aiocos' strongest attack, "Galactica Illusion".


Last but not least, the Garuda surplice. Like the other judges, this is another great piece of surplice to behold.

He is considered the weakest of the 3 Judges of Hell. He was defeated by Ikki's "Hou Yoku Ten Sho".

Revoltech Hokuto no Ken #023- Raoh Musou

The King of Fist is back in Hokuto Musou with a set of new attire.

Out-of-box content. I do not recall getting 2 stands for this figure. I guess that was a technical error on my part while I was taking picture for this figure.

Front view of Raoh without his cape.

Close up on Raoh. There is a slight improvement in terms of the face sculpt.

Back view of the figure.

There was a lot of folds and tones on the clothes and trinkets.

Raoh was a master of the Go no Ken (Fist of Strength).

"Tensho Honretsu".

The king bows to no one!


Raoh with the shoulder guards.

There is a slight improvement in the head sculpt.

The grinning face fits Raoh the most.


Another view of the rear of the figure with the shoulder guards.


Raoh can literally smash anyone into a pulp with his fists.


Raoh with his full attire. He looks very much like a viking lord.

The robe was made up of 3 parts which is similar to the earlier release.


This figure does not suffer the "wobbly head" effect on the previous figure which was caused by the over-sized helmet.


No one can stand against the might of Kenoh!

This figure is a lot more refined compare to the previous release. It basically puts the previous Raoh figure to shame due to the improved face sculpt, joints and design.
