Volume 9 DOA Beach Party
If Kotobukiya’s Kasumi figure from Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 doesn’t catch your attention, then you hate anything made out of plastic. Besides, according to Internet translation software (which is never wrong), Kasumi’s swimsuit has been “multi-layerized,” which is either a really bad-ass ninja combo move or something extremely sexy. If she’s not busy kicking her own clone’s ass or playing volleyball, Kasumi apparently lounges around the beach wearing next to nothing. Everybody needs a hobby, and I suppose driving hormonal teenagers into a frothing frenzy is as good as any other. If you want this buxom beauty to tantalize you from your toy shelf on a daily basis, you’ll have to shell out an easy $50 this April, but it’s oh so worth it! CONSTRUCT A CORE
Armored Core is awesome. Armored Core toys are awesome. But customizable Armored Core kits with interchangeable parts are the awesomest. Kotobukiya is bringing us two more amazing Core kits, straight from Japan. For only $25 each, you can build your own versions of Crest Hakuhei and Cronus (Vixen) for display. Featuring 24 points of articulation, these fine scale model kits come pre-painted and include pictorial assembly instructions— and with 347 snap-together pieces, you’re going to need those instructions! Best of all, you can trick out these engines of destruction with parts and weapons from other AC kits to build your own ultimate Core. These beauties will be available in April, so zip on down to your local shop and score your own personal Core (or two). Little Link Is All Growed Up!
Do-doo-doo, do-do-do-do-do-doooo! That’s the Zelda theme song. Really. Now get that tune humming along in your head as you stare at this amazing statue of Adult Link from Ocarina of Time. Produced by the wizards over at First 4 Figures, who seem to have a lock on Nintendo characters of late, Link is the third collectible statue from the company’s Legend of Zelda series. The Hero of Time stands at seven inches tall and is to scale with the other statues in the line. Not only does Link come with faithful recreations of his legendary Master Sword and Hylian Shield, but he also has a handy dungeon map and key for getting around. This awesome Link statue is limited to only 2,500 pieces worldwide and can be yours for 110 greenbacks. He’ll be available sometime in the second quarter of 2007. REAL DIGITAL SOLDIERS
Did you know that the Army has its own video game? It’s called America’s Army (go figure) and it’s actually pretty good. America’s Army features real soldiers who have distinguished themselves in service to our country as drill sergeants in the game. And now Jazwares is immortalizing their video game likenesses for everyone to take home. These figures are modeled after the digital scans of these brave soldiers, so it’s the toy version of the game version of the actual person (can’t wait for the book). This April, you can take home the whole set for roughly $40. Because who doesn’t want their own personal soldier? |
