8/13/2010Review - Kiwami Tamashii - Momotaros

[TAO's Note: It's always a pleasent surprise when Updatedude sends over a review. I never know when it's going to be and I certainly never know what it's going to be about. This time it's yet another awesome looking toy I'm completely unfamiliar with, making the review even more entertaining and enlightening. Check out... Momotaros!]

4/28/2010One Shots #34

[TAO's Note: I think everyone has gotten the One Shots submission bug, because now Updatedude is tossing his jokes into the ring too! I'm amazed at how creative and hilarious you guys out there (and our regular contributors) are, so despite my enormous backlog of comics, I'd still love to see what you are coming up with in regards to funny comics, so send them my way! But for now, enjoy this quick one with an imported feel!]

4/15/2010Review - S.H. Figuarts - Kamen Rider IXA

[TAO's Note: It wouldn't be an Updatedude review if I knew who the character was, and this follows suit. Whoever this IXA fellow may be, he still makes for one cool looking toy, so open your mind and keep reading for a fun look at a new toy.]

3/27/2010Review - Motion Revive Series - The Bee

[TAO's Note: I can always count on Updatedude to bring us an interesting review of a crazy looking imported figure, and my trust has been rewarded with this great review of the Motion Revive Series The Bee by Bandai. The question is, did he feel the sting of regret after this purchase?]

3/1/2010Review - Busou Shinki - MaoChao

[TAO's Note: Updatedude is awfully good at finding imported figures of which I have no knowledge, and they always make for entertaining reviews. This one's no exception, so don't miss an odd continuation of our apparent cat theme this week...]

12/5/2009Review - Souchaku Henshin - Kamen Rider Drake

[TAO's Note: I always think I know a lot about modern toys until Updatedude brings us a review based on something from Japan with which I'm completely unfamiliar. Today is a perfect example, because I never knew this figure existed, and that makes this review even more interesting. So be sure to stop and take a look at this Kamen Rider Drake toy, with the smallest head you've ever seen (keep reading, you'll see).]

11/6/2009Articulated Ranting - Articulation: Points vs Functionality Part 2

[TAO's Note: Last time, Updatedude explained the distinction between articulation and posability, because one does not necessarily equal the other. Today he continues that line of thought with another well-spoken and completely coherent "rant" in comic format and full of cool poses. Be sure to check out Part 2 of "Articulation: Points vs Functionality" in another edition of:]

10/10/2009Guest Review - S.H. Figuarts - Urataros

Updatdedude is back with another review of a toy based on a character I've never heard of. This time it's Urataros, some guy from some show. Despite knowing nothing about him, I do know the toy looks awesome and deserves a look in another "matter of import" review, so check it out!

9/20/2009New Feature - Articulated Ranting

[TAO's Note: Every toy collector needs a chance to say exactly what's on their mind without regard for logic or pace. This new feature is exactly that opportunity, where complaints, concerns, yelling, or maybe even incoherent babbling about something in the world of toys are all at home, but with a touch of class and organization. Updatedude is going to take charge this time looking at the limitations of some articulation, and it's even in comic form, but it won't always be, so don't get spoiled with this one! It's articulate, it's articulated, and it's a lot of fun, so be there for the first ever edition of:]

8/8/2009Guest Review - GI Joe 25th Anniversary - Cobra Commander (Battle Armor)

[TAO's Note: Although we're not done with Clark's GI Joe reviews for the week, it's time for another contributor to step up to the table with a Cobra Commander (Battle Armor), also known as Fred VII, and review the heck out of it. See how highly thought of this figure is in Updatedude's mind by reading on!]
