I have no idea of how many words this item description could get to have. What I know is that I was lucky enough to get it at a reasonable price.

Product Details:

- included with figure: interchangeable

- stands approximately 8" tall

- hand parts, display stand

- PVC, diecast material

- packaged in window box

This is the best articulated figure I have (I'm sorry revoltech), period. Anyway, as I've stated before, I'm not here to review stuff. However, there are some things to consider:

This figure is not entirely made of die cast metal, as one could think about a Bandai SOC; actually, only a few parts of the armor and some joints are. The rest is a buffet of PVC, vinyl and gummy bears.

This thing breaks easily, the leg joints are very fragile.

Super poseable, you can get this to take almost any pose. Imagination is the limit.

It's friggin' expensive.

Did I need this???

YES; I've lost count of how many EVA 01 figures I have, but none has the red color scheme. And none of them is from Evangelion 2.0, you can (NOT) Advance, my favorite movie of 2009.

PANDORA. Premium Bandai Cloth Myth.

So my friend Kaj from the sapwn.com forum said he'd help me get a Dohko figure for my collection, and told me he'd send a "little extra".


Yep, and here's the "little extra"... the PREMIUM FIGURE "Pandora" - Cloth Myth figure HK version.




I really can't tell who's the manufacturer of this Dohko figure, but it's in perfect scale for the Cloth Myth figures.

Now, Pandora is the first female in the Saint Cloth Myth line and was a premium release in 2006. True to the myth of her namesake a great deal of trouble in the world is caused when she opens the box. She is a creepy, sad and dark, Goth chick that spent most of her life serving Hades – God of the Underworld... and she comes naked, go figure.

As for the accesories, she comes with two dresses. Technically one dress and one robe to put over the dress to replicate Pandora’s various looks from the OVA. Stitching detail is very nice and honestly this is one of the best cloth outfits I have seen on a figure of this size.

Hades trident is another item used by Pandora in the series and of course one is included as well. Again the trident is plastic and not diecast metal, which was a bit of a disappointment as I have gotten pretty spoiled by the diecast items and weapons in previous releases.

Pandora wouldn't be complete without the "instrument."

Pandora was packed with a stand and accessories for three additional stands so should you want to display Pandora with the three Judges of Hell you can. Stands also include a sheet of stickers with the names of Pandora and the Judges.

Did I need this???

Mole like: Did Hades Shun need this??? Well he's a lousy uselss whiney piece of a God, so YES.

Squier: Bullet Strat SUNBURST.

Squier has something to say about this one.

"Our Bullet Strat with tremolo is a simple, affordable and practical guitar designed for beginners and students. A perfect choice for a first guitar no matter who you are or what style of music you want to learn. Welcome to the Fender® family!"

It has been a while since I wanted one of these, and finding it for cheap was the final arguement to spend the money I was supposed to use to fix my car's sunroof.

-Laminated body, Basswood.

-21 jumbo fret maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

-Chrome covered (weak) tuners.

-3 single-coil pickups.

-Non-tremolo hardtail bridge.

-5-way switching.

Wiki says: "The Squier Bullet Strat (known as Squier Bullet until 2007) is an electric guitar that emulates the look of the Fender Stratocaster, but with modifications to reduce cost. Like the Squier Stratocaster, it is not considered a strat copy as it is manufactured by Squier, a subsidiary of Fender and therefore carries the Fender brand name. Squier Bullets are popular with guitar mod enthusiasts due to their low price and ability to handle extreme amounts of modification work. The most common mod performed is the replacement of the stock pickups."

Did I need this???

I don't think so, I'm an Ibanez RG guy.

Iron Man 4" Crap.

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT SPAWN BOARDIES!!!

... YOUR FREAKIN' FAULT.

I just can't believe the awesomeness of these little things, I can't believe I passed on them so many times... My favorite is MKII, it's even better than the 6" of the first movie. Absolutely beautiful. I've resisted for so long to 4" stuff... I believe I'll collect ironmen in this scale.

Did I need these???

NO, but now I want more.

This is how crappy a Terminator figure looks with a 4" Ironman.
