Mickey Mouse is generally known as a jovial sort of rodent with a sunny disposition and a squeaky voice. Things weren't so in the "Runaway Brain" 7-minute movie where a misguided doctor named Frankenollie exchanged Mickey's brain with the crazed brain of a monster named Julius.
The color version of the Runaway Brain Mickey vinyl figure from Medicom was originally released in the spring of 2005 and a new production was shipped to market late last year. To follow up on the success of the Runaway Brain figure sales, Medicom re-releases a black & white version of the figure to meet market demand. «more»

Vice has gone out of business but the bulk of our shipments of the 1/7 scale Motoko Kusanagi figure arrived today. Motoko stands at 1/7 scale and is dressed in two-tone ninja duds which complement her purplish tresses. Her pose is casual and the Major unzips her vest to reveal voluptuous attributes underneath. Repeat: Voluptuous. Kusanagi sports a pair of combat boots and wears enough padding to prevent major damage should she take a direct hit. For return fire engagements, she hefts a firearm in her right hand. The figure is fixed-pose and a transparent base is included for display purposes. «more»
Remember when Veruca Salt marshaled the resources of father's nut factory to find a Golden Ticket in the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory movie? The amount of capital and manpower expended was magnificent... and wasteful. Fast forward to the current day and Medicom has a simpler solution for anyone who wants a Wonka Golden Ticket.
Pony up a measly JPY10,000 and you may join Veruca, Charlie Bucket, Mike Teavee, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop in the winner's circle. In addition to the golden colored ticket itself, a mounting placard is included for display purposes.

The previous heroine of the Oanechan games has been getting a little long in the tooth. Maybe Aya's on vacation from the self-created killing fields after her impressive work in Vortex. Z. Or maybe D3 Publisher needed to expand their successful Oanechan franchise with a younger and more attractive killer. The new heroine shares one remarkable trait with Aya - the same bad taste in clothing and a lack of any fashion sense.
Set in an alternate reality version of Old Edo, Detective Oharu is a 19 year-old redheaded gal who walks with an extremely odd gait and chops up Edo-era miscreants with a stylized sai (釵). Her alternate weapon is an energy lasso, sort of like Wonder Woman's which is used to tie up enemies and smash them around. As the story goes, a criminal enterprise has infiltrated society with their nefarious operations and it's up to a bright-eyed and impressively endowed young woman to bust up the gang. The game is broken up into levels which are selected from a menu screen with each subsequent stage unlocked after a mission is completed. Furthermore, the levels feature completion percentages. Find all the special items and kill everyone to reach 100% but do a half-ass job and you might scrape by with 50%. Each level concludes by defeating a somewhat mighty boss. «more»
Rocket onto dusty battlefields inside a sporty Gundam RX-78-2 and swing a laser blade to blow Zaku soldiers off their feet. Couple the sword slashes with gunfire to mix up the action and you're a veritable one man army capable of tackling entire legions. In our test play this morning, we noticed that the Zaku armies are fairly subdued and generally stood around waiting for death. Koei's W-Force had improved the AI of their recent Sengoku Musou games where warriors collectively charged in for the kill but in Gundam Musou, the mech enemies hang around at the periphery without offering much resistance. One or two enemy mechs might swing and shoot but the entire gang should all engage at once like a rabid pack of wolves. There were many times where our Gundam could have been shot or slashed but we plowed through the Zaku troops without much adversity. Perhaps later levels will prove to be more of a challenge. That said, the feeling of Gundam movement and booster flight is satisfying. There's a solid resistance to the Gundam as it moves around the battlefield. «more»
