Certified computer boy. I don’t know what "tokusatsu" is, but it sounds delicious. I like action figures and taking pictures of them, usually outdoors. [he/him]

I’ve been in a Metroid mood lately, so I took some photos of my old Samus figure out in the snow today. This might be my favourite shot I’ve taken in a long time! #toyphoto

Hmm. In terms of toku, it appears Sharivan and Jiban are both out of print. MediaOCD lists Jiban as being up for pre-order, so it might be getting another run? But Sharivan seems like it might be out of print?
I gotta get on picking up the sets I'm missing before it's too late...

Well, a ton of Discotek stuff is OOP now. I'm especially sad to see Saint Tail & Lady Georgie on this list, as they're some of the rare shoujo titles they've picked up, and it doesn't seem like they were really out that long! 😭 So snag em if you find em while you can, I guess....

I cannot believe they did not put an AE86 in the presentation at all
(unless the usual "big Forza Horizon DLC pack" this time is just gonna be a licensed Initial D thing? Which I would 10000% down for)

I have said this before and I’ll say it a million more times: Canada needs a henshin hero tokusatsu show (and I’m not kidding)
For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...
OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts
In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

they are absolute cowards for not adding a New Funky Mode
A free update is rolling into #DonkeyKong Country Returns HD!
Swing into action as Dixie Kong in both single-player and two-player local co-op, and race through high-speed versions of each level in Turbo Attack.

That repost reminds me: I have the Yakuza nendos! They’re really fun!
They’re among the figures I’ve gotten recently that I really need to get around to posting pics of. So here’s a few shots I’ve taken so far!

The latest collaboration will apparently involve SEGA and the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with Sonic skins apparently on the horizon. No other details are available, but it's sure to be a big announcement if it finally materialises.

Not being able to carry my progress over was the one main thing stopping me from wanting Hitman WoA (one of the greatest modern video games) on Switch 2, my going platform of choice.

Because I have nothing more pressing to do on a Monday morning:
I compiled English release date data for the Kuuga manga, and look through some reports to try to answer my own question. There was a huge gap between volumes 3 and 4. Makes me wonder if Volumes 4-onward have better, human TLs?

Does anyone know if the official English Kamen Rider Kuuga manga ever stopped using that bad machine translation?

Oddly enough, I don’t get Sentai vibes from this, kinda at all. I think the main thing: the cast is kinda huge. Usually Sentai shows will have a main cast of 5 heroes (that becomes 6), a mentor and *maybe* one recurring friend character. This show’s non-hero cast so far is, comparatively, quite big.

I don’t really keep up with modern Ultraman stuff, so maybe I’m off the mark with this, but this gives me modern Ultra vibes. Not a bad thing!
And I think it makes sense. Ultraman has been very successful lately, including a really strong international push. I see the vision here.

Black gaffer tape over the camera’s brand/logo is a really good touch tbh
(photographers do this so the logo, usually a lighter colour like white or silver, doesn’t appear in reflections)

I can’t vote on this as it involves posting on Twitter/X, which I refuse to do, but Kabuto would get my vote.
For the 55th anniversary, Toei is letting YOU, THE FANS 🫵 guess which (Heisei era, which is not 55 years old yet) Rider shows will actually get movies.
www.kamen-rider-official.com/kr-movie-pro...
I’d say whichever ones look like they spent the most time on making the logo (i.e. not Amazons)

This set looks fine-to-good, but expensive ($180 Canadian).
Feels like they wanted a "cheaper" (than the Deku Tree) Zelda Lego Set, but still needed something with enough pieces to justify a higher price (probably because Nintendo demands a large cut from every copy sold)

It's kinda shocking how good of a value Viz's manga subscriptions are. For a small monthly fee I get access to a bunch of manga, legally and easily.
I wish every western manga publisher did this for digital manga. It'd get me to read way more manga than I do.
