Dark Knight Rises Aventador

The Gallerie Victoria is conducting a promotion at the moment in collaboration with Lamborghini and The Dark Knight Rises. Don't miss your chance to see an Aventador up close... or perhaps if you are lucky ride in it! This vehicle was driven on the movie set. As a part of a promotion for the movie Lamborghini are conducting a draw where the winner would be chauffered in the Aventador to the premiere of the Dark Knight Rises. As in Highlander there can only be one winner but feel free to oggle at the car's sleekness

Is different exactly better?

On my never ending quest to be at the forefront of release news I got wind of various new movie merchandise figures. It seems like marketers are currently finding new ways to get fans to justify buying more hero merchandise. The easiest way to do this is of course... issuing a new suit! Well I guess its good in a way to repackage old franchises so that they can be enjoyed by a new generation however for older fans who are more inclined towards tradition its harder to accept as they grew up with older costumes and become attached to them! Okay so the debate is... Is different exactly better?

The new Kotobukiya release for the upcoming man of steel release... LOL what happened to the undies!

Nendroid Spiderman... Hmm this costume will always be a weird one to me it looks classic but isnt classic it just doesn't look right without the "belt" section!

So what do the readers think? Feel free to comment!

RG Justice arrives this month!

Not long after the release of the RG Freedom, Justice was announced by now this isnt news. ODU is after all not a product release blog its a blog expressing our interest in products that are coming soon with our own opinions and thoughts.

I've always liked the concept of Freedom and Justice complementing each other Athrun and Kira make good partners on par with Lelouch and Suzaku from Code Geass. Anyhow back on topic the product is about to roll out!!

From the first RG release I loved how the box art present a close up of the head, its pretty neat I hope that they continue releasing RG box art like this! and for the product its got my Facebook style like too! I'm sure Kenji would buy this one!

Gundam Metal Arms Keychain Collection

I was looking through Cyber Gundam which was showcasing various new shiny toys within their post in regard to the August edition of Hobby Japan, Its surprising that just one tiny pic would catch my attention!

Oresenting the Metal Arms series coming in July! I quite like what they have on offer so far they have

1. The beam rifle and shield of the original Gundam
2. The beam magnum and shield of Unicorn Gundam
3. the shields used by the Zaku (normal and Char custom)

It'd be great if instead of two shields they had a heat hawk instead! I think I might get this set!

Supanova 2012

After the roaring success of last years Supanova I battled through the rain last weekend to attend this years event! I found that this year had less cosplayers however it was much sexier there were so many slave Leia's there! Counting on the top of my head at least nine! I can not believe my failure this  time I bought my camera but........... I left the battery at home fortunately there is still the camera on my phone!
This year also had more quality stores however being a seasoned anime goods buyer now I dont rush to buy each and everything I like any more but there were items that did catch my eye like the Sideshow Iron Man helmet set

The stands also involved some intense brick art!

And for the cosplay!

and the best for last!

What did they do to you Lelouch??!!!!

LOL whoever decided to dress Lelouch in a Willy Wonka style suit has got some serious issues, it looks kinda creepy :P Whatever they were smoking I want some.... The Kallen looks hot though.

Iron Man USB

I just bought myself one of these! Chrome surfaces 8gb and flashing LED eyes! Iron Man awesomeness!
