Kamen Rider model kit and Twitter

Shortly after I started watching toy review videos by Internet Personality Vangelus I was introduced to the Kamen Rider property. Apparently it's a series of Japanese TV shows. It looks fun, someday I'll look into watching it. The point is though, the character designs look neat, and the toys are well made, if rather expensive. But I've wanted to get into the toys since seeing his reviews. A couple of days ago I watched his V-Build video of assembling a model kit of Kamen Rider Skull, and I knew I had to have it. My wife said she'd buy it for my birthday in two months. But that was too far away, so when I found out there are several kits available, and I happened to have some Amazon Reward points available, I bought one.

Master Grade Figure-rise Kamen Rider W Accel. It arrived yesterday and I started assembling it last night. I'm going to do a proper post about it when I'm all done, but I'm also using Twitter to post small updates (with pics!) as I go along, so I thought I'd throw a Twitter widget here in case anybody wants to follow along.

What I Got This Week

Labels: new aquisitions

Not much to report this week. I'm trying to avoid the new Transformers movie figures (DOTM), for a variety of reasons, but this week I determined that I will be buying the wave 3 Thundercracker when I find it, and I may end up buying the movie deco Starscream, though I'd rather wait to see if they do a G1-esque paint job. I also caved and bought the Voyager class Skyhammer, because helicopters are cool, but then I returned it a couple of days later because I have no money, and also because FansProject announced a clear version of their Protector armor upgrade for Classics Hot Rod, and it is AWESOME. I pre-ordered it immediately.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have the clear Hot Rot to go with it. I also bought a TRU exclusive Legends class 4 pack, because it has a repaint of Cybertron Legends Starscream, which is a great looking figure, but I'm not sure if I'll be keeping it, as it may be a repack, not a repaint, and I found somebody that's selling me 4 other versions of that mold, Starscream, Sunspot, Ramjet, and Skywarp. So I may not need this new one, if it's the same version of Starscream.

The only other things I got this week came in the mail, so I technically purchased them last week: I finally got Ame Comi Harley Quinn (for the second time actually, but the first one was damaged and returned), along with Cheetah (which I probably won't keep) and Hawkgirl (which I already have, but the wing is broken, so I have to either sell the broken one, or fix it and sell the good one). Also got Mortal Kombat: Deception, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the XBox, and they've been a lot of fun so far.
