HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM PLASTIC JOINT

Yes, this blog has been lacking in updates. Most of that has to do with our personal life getting the best of us. But also, Plastic Joint will be going through a change (Evolution if you will). I will put up couple of reviews soon meanwhile.

REVIEW: Robot Damashii Arbalest

Souske Sagara is an elite member of Mithril, a secret military organization in the world of Full Metal Panic!. Souske was assigned to protect Chidori Kaname, a teenage girl with an ability even she doesn’t know of. During the course of Full Metal Panic first season, Souske was handed AS (Arm Slave, a mecha in FMP series) with advance technology called ‘Black Technology’. Souske’s new Arm Slave, ARX-7 Arbalest, is far more advanced than the average AS with Lambda Driver (more on that later). With Arbalest. Souske Sagara has fought against other advanced AS units. Robot Damashii line was nice enough to include Arbalest in their line, which was a huge news for FMP fans.

REVIEW: SH Figuarts Another Agito

‘I will become the only Agito!’

Saint, that’s one word to describe Kaoru Kino. A former surgeon, he was praised for his brilliance. However, he lost his right arm due to winter expedition accident with his brother, where he received transplant of his dead brother’s right arm after the said accident. Despite his loss of license, Kino still performs surgery for those that desperately need his talent. After Akatsuki-Gou incident, Kino evolved into Agito (or rather, Another Agito). Obsessed is another word, as he started attacking Ryo and Shouichi to become the only Agito. However, towards the end, Kino realized his mistake and  fights alongside Agito.  Bandai released SHF Another Agito for those that loves Kino-sensei (like Vangelus‘ subtitle friend)

REVIEW: SH Figuarts Hana from Kamen Rider Den-O

Hana first appeared in front of Ryoutaro searching for her Denliner pass in first episode of Kamen Rider Den-O. Since then, Hana and Ryoutaro, along with four imagines that we all know and love, went back and forth in time to fight against evil imagins and Kai (quite possibly the worst Kamen Rider villain ever). I’m not sure what the original intent was, but Hana was changed to Kohana towards the end of series due to the fact that Yuriko Shiratori (actress portraying Hana) would rather focus on Gravure DVD than to finish what she started. Some time after the debut of SH Figuarts line, Bandai decided to manufacture female model of Figuarts. Hana is the first official female Figuarts to be released to the masses.

REVIEW: Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Rampage

if there is one thing im exited for it’s for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. The first movie was pretty good, this next one seems to be shaping up to be way better then the first, featuring more robots and more-

you know.. Im not going to lie to anyone.

REVIEW: Sh Figuarts Kamen Rider Decade

‘I’m just a passing through Kamen Rider. Remember that.’

Kadoya Tsukasa is an amateur photographer who uses Blackbird, Fly 135 Twin Lens Reflex Camera. One day, he appeared out of nowhere in front of Hikari photo studio and has been taking picture of anything that comes across since then. However, all the peaceful atmosphere would break as the alternate dimensions collide and threaten the existence of all the world, including the alternate rider worlds. Tsukasa, along with Natsumi Hikari, travels through the 9 rider worlds to prevent the complete destruction. This is the how Kamen Rider Decade began. Decade may be over (as it ended last weekend), but Bandai released SH Figuarts Decade to keep the journey going.

REVIEW: Rise of Cobra Conrad “Duke” Hauser: Desert Ambush

Duke has been released many, MANY times over the course of the 26 year history of G.I. Joe RAH. He’s been in all major iterations of the team and he’s sort of Hasbro’s poster boy of the line, Your Optimus Prime if you will. (though, I will digress, he’s more of a Hot Rod character. Hawk would be my Optimus Prime figurehead)

in anyrate, the new movie is coming up and the figures for it are pretty nifty for the most part. Using a lot of borrowed and new 25th and Modern Era bodies and styles, the Rise of Cobra Line has been a hit with the fans so far. This one is one of the more unique figures in the line as it does share a body with a Modern Era Joe that was petty meh at best and with it’s sheer amount of accessories, it made for a decent little figure.

REVIEW: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form

‘Awaken the soul!’

Shouichi Tsugami is a man with amnesia who loves every aspect of life. By day, he takes care of Mana and her brother while living in professor Misugi’s home. However, when a hostile life forms known as ‘Unknowns’ attack humans, Shouichi transforms into Agito and fights off unknowns. After releasing Kuuga, Bandai recently released Agito in SH Figuarts form.
