Since I already have the Kanou Unchou Figma, I decided to get another Ikki Tousen girl, so I picked up Ryomou Shimei. I really wish Max Factory would make a version of Ryomou in her school outfit. She’s so much more adorable and innocent-looking. Maid outfit Ryomou is kinda’ intimidating.

Since I’d never had a Revoltech before, it was difficult choosing which one to get first. I really wanted Yokko from Gurren Lagann or Haruhi Suzamiya in her bunny costume, but I figured I’d test the waters by getting the cheapest Revoltech I could find, just in case I wound up hating them. So I wound up with Pocco, designed by master illustrator, Shunya Yamashita.

Here’s a closeup comparison of the hands. I like that the Figmas come with the little storage thingie. They also have hands that are more elegantly posed.

Here’s Kanu, Ryomou, and Pocco all lined up.

I feel like I came off a little harsh in my review of the Revoltech. I really liked it! I just think that Figmas offer more bang for their buck, even if they are a bit smaller. That doesn’t mean that I’m not planning out my next few Revoltech purchases. My shelves are gonna’ be LOADED!

I hope you enjoyed the last otakufied episode of blindboxed for a while. The show will go back to designer toys next week when I review… wait, I’m not telling you! You’ll just have to watch and see! I’ll also be giving away details on how you can win a custom Munny by Jim Freck!

This week we give you guys a look at Vinyl Luv inside Vertigo Records in West Reading, PA. This is where we buy our toys and we figured it’d be nice to give you the inside look since a lot of people mainly get their toys online and have never really seen them carried in a shop.

We also review the 3″ Baby Mei Mei and Di Di from Crazy Label which we’ve already given a thorough written review here, but this is your chance to see our initial reactions.

Due to time constraints (we like to keep each episode under 10 minutes) we weren’t able to do a Sculpey tutorial this week, but it’s coming next week. We promise.

Oh yeah, and we’ve extended the Kathy Olivas Dolbee Contest until the end of May. All you have to do is comment on any episode of blindboxed tv and we’ll randomly pick a winner in the first episode that airs in June.

For this week’s episode of blindboxed tv we hit up Metropolis in Lancaster, PA for the Munny Mobile party sponsored by Kidrobot where we saw some awesome custom work by Esro, Kia, and our very own RSIN. We also spill our thoughts on the Kathie Olivas Dolbee that we’re giving away. Oh, and don’t mind the fact that the show ends abruptly… we totally forgot to fade out at the end, but we don’t think anyone will mind… will you?

Stay tuned for next week’s show as we review the DIY Pusher from Munky King and give some toy customizing tips!
