Review: Dr. Wu DW-M06 Veteran Upgrade Kit

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Time to go off script, and look at a Third-Party Transformers add-on set; this is the Dr. Wu DW-M06 Veteran Upgrade Kit for Transformers the Last Knight, Voyager Class Hound! Dr. Wu is known for their impressive weapon kits that are meant to complete a character’s accessories. On some occasions Dr. Wu will even release pieces to fix the appearance too. This small set is a wonderful combination of both aspects for Hound; with a truck cab that transforms into a more accurate triple-barrel mini-gun, a rifle, and animation accurate…

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

With the success of Ultraman Zero the Chronicle, Tsuburaya Productions revisited the idea! The next addition in the Chronicle series would be based on a recent and successful Ultra series, Ultraman Orb. To promote this retelling of Ultraman Orb’s story, Tsuburaya and Bandai decided to reissue the DX Orb Ring, as well as the Ultra Fusion Cards. These reissues are labeled as the Special Sets, which is similar to Kamen Rider Super Best releases. Here the DX Orb Ring comes will additional cards to obtain the four main fusions seen…

Review: Trendmasters Godzilla Attacks NY Giant Playset

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

“A city full of destruction, a monster is to blame… Godzilla: King of the Monsters!”   This playset has seen me through an amazing childhood. It is capable of being used with other toylines like Power Rangers. In addition, if kept in good shape it can be used as a display piece alongside modern high-end collectible figures like NECA figures, or Tamashii Nations’ S.H.Figuarts and S.H.MonsterArts. Now, the Trendmasters Godzilla Attacks New York Giant Playset features a huge Godzilla with a projectile ability, five tanks, 20 soldiers, and a basic…

Review: Ultraman Geed DX Ultra Zero Eye NEO

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Luckily it did not take me 20,000 years to acquire a DX Ultra Zero Eye Neo! However, it did arrive in time for the Ultraman Geed finale. Never the less, I can finally check out this bad-ass toy. First Off, the Ultra Zero Eye NEO is an all-new version of Zero’s henshin device, which loses its ability to become a gun. Yet, it is compatible with the Geed Riser to unlock Zero’s new form, Ultraman Zero Beyond! The power is also obtained from two interesting Ultra Capsules that fuses together…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Kamen Rider Amazons Season 2 takes an incredible turn with an all-new protagonist, Kamen Rider Amazon Neo! However, this new Rider is the son of Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha. Kamen Rider Amazon Neo seemingly looks like a blue version of Omega that is covered in armor plating. One could say it makes this Amazon into an “Armored Rider.” Now, the S.H.Figuarts of the character captures the suit almost perfectly. In addition, it does not have the obnoxious gloss issues, as seen with Kamen Rider Amazon Omega or Alpha. Yet, its…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi (Ultraseven)

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Today, I am proud to present and review S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi, otherwise known as Ultraseven! Dan Moroboshi is Ultraseven’s human guise, portrayed by actor Kohji Moritsugu. The actor, the character, and his heroic form are regarded as one of the best protagonists and series in the Ultra franchise. Now, as a S.H.Figuarts Dan Moroboshi is incredible, as it uses Tamashii Nations modern sculpting to make realistic figures based on actors/ live-action characters. Being the first tokusatsu character in the line, Dan Moroboshi is the testing ground for Retsu Ichijoji, Takeshi…

Review: Ultraman Geed DX Ultra Capsule Magnificent Set

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

Here we go again, as we look at the next item I purchased in the Ultraman Geed toyline. This review is on the DX Ultra Capsule Magnificent Set! Now, the Magnificent Set is the second in the series. It contains two Ultra Capsules, and two Kaiju Capsules (actual kaiju may vary). However, similar to the Acro Smasher set this one has both a Belial Fusion Beast, and a Geed Ultra Rise. The Belial Fusion Beast is Pedanium Zetton, which uses Zetton (Ultraman) and King Joe (Ultraseven). Whereas, Ultraman Geed Magnificent…

Review: S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Skull

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

It is finally time to look at the S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Skull; the definitive or should I say the “Hard-boiled” version of Kamen Rider Skull as a S.H.Figuarts! Now, the Seihou captures Skull perfectly in scale and in design. The basic body for the figure shares the same the body/ mold with Kamen Rider W. The accessories are extensive when compared to the original edition, or the Skull Crystal edition. S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Skull features variations of his fedora, additional scarves, mod changing Skull Magnum, and…

Review: Mini-Pla Kyutama Gattai Series 4 Gigant Houou

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

“5-4-3-2-1, Rangers in Space!” ~ Mini-Pla Gigant Houou has arrived to represent Houou Soldier, adding to the legend of Tsurugi Ōtori! This Mini-Pla set starts off as all three parts, before combining into Gigant Houou. Yet, that is not all it can do, as it can also become Kyutamajin, by combining with the Shishi Voyager. Now, this Rolling Review looks at the entire set from each piece to each combination. In addition, one can expect a brief look at the custom paint job I gave the set, so it would…

Review: Ultraman Geed DX Ultra Capsule Solid Burning Set

Billy "TaJa" Doyle

“Here we go” again, as we look at the next item I purchased in the Ultraman Geed toy-line. This review is on the DX Ultra Capsule Solid Burning Set! Now, the Solid Burning Set is the second in the series. It contains two Ultra Capsules, and two Kaiju Capsules (actual kaiju may vary). The focus on the set is on Ultraman Geed’s form Solid Burning, and the form’s first foe Darkclops Zero. Along with being able to summon an army of Darkclops Zeros to fight Ultraman, one can also summon…
