Goodies at work-Robot Damashii Banshee Destroy mode

So one will wonder how I can tolerate working in an office when I can post about shiny new toys that I either have or want. Well the answer is.... I got toys at work!

My work station complete with Kubrick Iron Man Mk 6, Bart Simpson, a Transformers calendar from the limited edition Blu Ray and the Robot Damashii Banshee

Okay this post is dedicated to the Banshee I love this figure its so detailed for a figure! The list of accesories, extra hands and weapons just goes on! I spent a week changing the parts during my lunch breaks and of course I have it documented in photos!

Armed Armour BS and VN

Beam Magnum and Shield

Twin Beam Tonfas

The only item left is the bazooka. The details are sharp and the mould of the figure is extremely accurate to the anime. The only two things that would have made it perfect would be hands with moveable digits and a nicer golden psychoframe. But thinking back the MG release's frame is nothing to write home about as well! So final verdict 8/10!

Fate Zero Saber

There's something about Saber's suit in Fate Zero. I think Saber sports it very well. Typically speaking a suit is generally cool and masculine but Saber, somehow makes it look so HOT! I know all may not agree on me on this one especially Kenji he is into the traditional blue dress. So dear readers hate or rate?

1/8 Max Factory release scheduled for December this year.

Good Smile Saber with Motorised Cuirassier (already released)

SH Figuarts Itasha Robo

I loved Akibaranger it was an impressive series and with all the pending releases from SH Figure Arts i.e. Akiba Red, Yellow and Blue, Moe Moe Z Kune etc this one easily takes the cake for the most anticipated release from the series. The awesomeness of Itasha Robo, the giant robot of the Unofficial Sentai.

For 35000 yen the price tag is a bit steep though... very delusional :P

and yes.... it transforms

1/4 Hot Toys Dark Knight Rises Batman

The Dark Knight Rises was a fantastic film, I've seen it twice now. Christian Bale is the best Batman out there and possibly when they reboot the series down the track would still be the best. For this preordering the 1/4 Dark Knight Rises Batman is a must, I think my mate Anisul would also agree!

ODU is backing our local conventions!

As a part of our localised strategy we are now permenantly promoting Australian pop culture conventions. Although ODU isnt exactly the biggest blog out there its always good to give newcomers or fans that are unaware a chance to come and meet new people with similar interests and also most importantly ignite their passion! Who knows we might find the next world cosplay champion emerging from a fateful day they clicked the Animania button on this blog. Or perhaps the next Gundam Cup champion the possibilities are limitless and ODU is proud to be a part of these experiences!

ODU supports local trade!

Here at ODU we have a vested interest in supporting the local prosperity of Australian pop culture vendors. We are doing this for free! If you want us to provide links to your web pages please comment I will add them accordingly. First one i am adding for today is.......Hobby Dream!

Knowledge sharing

Although we are at the forefront of product information in the pop culture goods world we aren't exactly the most timely posters. Truth be told I check my sources three times a day. ODU is more of an appreciation blog we handpick what appeals to us and post on it. So in order to foster further knowledge sharing we are disclosing the sources where we get our information from! There's more to come.....
