Type-Moon's 10th Anny gets more goods from Ichiban KujiSeeing something great can trigger reactions within you. Joy, elation, exuberance. When you look deeper into it though, a whole new set of emotions can be ignited. Dread, despair and depression. I get the feeling that many will feel that way when it comes to the newest goods from Banpresto's Ichiban Kuji line. "Oh wow, these look fantastic! Damn it, they're Ichiban Kuji!" The top prizes in the Ichiban Kuji Type-Moon 10th Anniversary collection are a pair of PVCs, Fate's Saber and Aoko Aozaki. Saber is in a new outfit, and for once, I'm not going to complain about it whatsoever. It is just gorgeously done, especially with the use of the clear PVC for the clothing, especially with Aoko's outfit. I absolutely love what they did with both of these, it's just a shame how hard they'll be to obtain, especially with the limited nature of the Anniversary special pieces. As this is Ichiban Kuji, there are more than just scale figures. There are deformed figures, not to mention other goods, like chalices, keychains and a pillow featuring each version of Saber. That should be enough fun for you, depending if you can manage to get your hands on it. If you're lucky, some soul will win literally win the lottery and get these items to you at some determined time in the future. For now, just enjoy the extensive gallery below.

5:00 PM on 05.19.2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show: Roll out the re-colors editionThere's a fine line between milking the cow and killing the golden goose. Bandai's Premium Web Shop walks the line like a guy with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. While a few of their efforts aren't too offensive, when you sta...

12:30 PM on 05.17.2013 Meet Davidkraig at Kidrobot NY's May 18 customizing eventWant to come check out some live customizing and meet artist Davidkraig? If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan). As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure. But you've seen his work before, and I assume he'll be sculpting out/painting something just as impressive for the event.

9:15 PM on 05.15.2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show: Master Grade Gundam 3.0It was just announced yesterday and I wasn't thrilled by the news. It's just what feels like Master Grade Gundam #47. There's a reason why it was made though and Bandai had to prove that today. With what looks like a 1/100 sc...
