S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger

Tiger & Bunny is an anime series that tells the stories of people with super powers call NEXT. These 'Heroes' works for a Hero TV that shows them crime fighting & who ever catches the bad guys get points. The one with the most amount of points would be the MVP.
You could check out about the anime in their wiki here.

This here is one of the protagonist, Wild Tiger.

The content.
Base/Stand comparison between the Tamashii Stage Act.

Grappling line pistol thingy.
"Good Luck Mode!"
Knuckle on steroids.

Product placement on Wild Tiger's amour, SoftBanks & S.H Figuart.

I was taken back by the hefty price, as expected with any other Japanese toys. But the detail are wonderfully done & it is quite heavy for its size. The weight is mainly because some joints and the legs is diecast.
Hope I could get Bunny when it comes out.

Mon*Star's Thundercats Cameo


I was watching the latest episode (eps 7) of the new Thundercats, 'Legacy', when I saw a somewhat familiar face, MonStar.
Also made a cameo appearance are the Tigersharks.


Those who is an 80's kid would know Mon*Star as the villain from Silverhawks, the one eye mob-boss that rides a giant squid. Just like Mumm-Ra, he transform into a superbeing by reciting "Moonstar of Limbo. Give me the Might, the Muscle, the Menace, of MON*STA!!"
Then he rides the squid.

Although my memory of Tigershark is somewhat a blur. I've seen one or two episode but not enough to burn the image into me mind.


Seeing this, one thing that comes into my mind; a Silverhawk reboot, maybe. Then again this episode is somewhat a flashback to tell the story of how the Swords of Omen was created, and why Mumm-Ra is so obsessed in getting the sword & The Eye of Thundera.

The new Thundercats got mixed review. Some afraid that just like the original, it is a marketing ploy to sell their toys. Hmmm.......
Of all the episodes so far, I can say that this episode is the best thus far.
