Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Aoshima

Whenever I look at my poseable figures, I always think to myself "it sure would be nice if I had a cool set to display them on or a sweet ride for them to drive." This is where model maker Aoshima comes in. Though they do foc...

All Japan Mokei Hobby Show 2012: Aoshima

If there was a theme from Aoshima's booth besides its car model kits, it'd have to be old-school. That starts with the 1/24-scale Super Detail Kit Deloreans from the Back to the Future trilogy, which were all at the booth and...

Wonder Festival 2012 Summer: Aoshima

While Aoshima's wares remain relatively new unfamiliar territory for me (although we have posted up some of their stuff before, namely adorable roach girls), I definitely like what I'm seeing in this batch of pictures. First ...

This plush of Apo from Uchu Kyodai is out of this world

Uchu Kyodai (or Space Brothers, if you please) stars an adorable frisky Pug named Apo. Oh, and two brothers also. But seriously, it's a puppy! Just look at those big, expressive eyes. That lolling tongue. My heart cannot take...

You wouldn't mind this cute plamo cockroach in your house

I'm not familiar with the doujinshi Goki-cha, which this adorable little insect girl comes from. However, I can say that I find her really adorable! I can't believe I just said I find a cockroach cute. The...

50th Shizuoka Hobby Show: Aoshima's 1/2000-scale Enterprise-D

I'm not really much of a big Star Trek fan at all, save for one thing in particular: Star Trek: The Next Generation. Perhaps it was my dad's doing (he used to watch the series from time to time when I was younger), but Picard...

FunnyKnights feels your desktop could use a little more ladies missing their clothes [NSFW]

If I were in a life or death situation that had me choosing between Queen's Blade figures and Ikkitousen figures, I would have to go with Queen's Blade. With that series, there is usually a little more variety in the choices ...
