I think I can save you the trouble for some of the other magazines. There's a scanned version of 2 of the newtype the live you have from here: http://thai-toku.com/koro/

I don't know, he looks kinda fat. For someone who has to be very nimble, the new image makes him look like a moving target. Granted, he looks insanely strong, the new image sure looks awfully familiar. But now he looks more space worthy than the previous image.

This started showing 2 days ago. Has anyone seen it yet? I think I'd rather wait for the hype to go down before watching. I hate waiting in lines for cinemas. If you did happen to see this, what's your verdict? Most of my colleagues are scheduled to watch this tonight and I admit I'm a bit envious that they're going to watch it tonight. But I'd rather wait a week or two before watching. Could save me a lot of headaches.

WOOHOO!!! Finally got my S.I.C. W Cyclone Joker! I'll post pics of the box when I get home. I've already got a number of S.I.C. but I have never opened any of them. I guess I'm still looking for a suitable display case before I finally open them. I have a lot of figures that are still boxed.

If things go sour, it can be easily rolled back right? I always say, if there is minimal to no cost, then why not? However, if there is cost involved, you'd have to weight the benefits if it is proportional to the said costs.

Ugh... why do I even bother......

Okay, if you didn't understand what I just said, I'll just say it outright.

There were a lot of them wearing yellow and black after they suited up. But there was a guy that the protagonists tried to approach, and he just told them to "f*** off"". Was in a Japanese bar drinking alone, and by god, he hasn't aged one bit.

I can't believe I saw this today. I have to say I quite enjoyed the movie, despite all the continuity loopholes it got. I have to ask, while Charles was using Cerebro, I saw a kid with sunglasses. It immediately made me think that is Scot Summers. But Scot is the older brother of Alex, and Alex here is a teenager. Just something to ponder about. If I got it all wrong, then forget I said anything.

I don't know about you guys, but I find this video kinda cool. Not the song, but how the song was played. How often do you see head banging in a classical concert??

I updated this page to at least contain some additional information as to how we really are different from Wikipedia. At the same this, I guess you can say this is a self serving subject targeted at uplifting the PTW contributor's own ego. I have to say, the guy doing all those PTW pages sure is shallow.

Then this gives you more reason to avoid HK subs. Not only are their translations funny, the time the subs are displayed are also inconsistent. Some times they stick out like a sore thumb, and sometimes they don't even appear at all. I still can't forget how they called Hongo and Shiro as Woody and Wolf.

I think I now know why it's so difficult to replicate the milk teas from one of our famous local cafes. They are using espresso machine to brew their tea. That's how they managed to get the smooth consistency. Not to mention that the syrups they use are sourced from Taiwan.

By the way, that info I posted above was dated May 20 from a Japanese rumor mill. And if the next rider is going to start this coming fall (September), then they only have one month to prepare anything from scratch. I do like to clarify my statement. I found little information that is "official". There were some results about ZZZZ, but they are mostly unofficial information so I really can't rely on them. What we need to wait for now is the official word that confirms this.

I certainly hope so. Cap being my all time favorite character, it's really hard not to have great expectations of the movie. But judging on the trailer, Evans seems to be doing a good job of portraying Steve Rogers as the good patriot.

Oh, and here's some rumors that I got from a rumor site. Take this with a grain of salt: Kamen Rider Fouze (ZZZZ) A High School Rider. Fights enemies called Noa using the rider system he inherited from his father. The main protagonist not being able to skillfully draw out the power of Fouze is partially unable to utilize the power. There are 4 basic form, the protagonist has memory loss, and the motif is a space ship, a switch will gather item, and the scriptwriter is someone who has not involved in any rider series. Fouze metamorph from Rider No. 0 thus he inherited an incomplete power. Metamorph can transform the whole body, since Fouze is incomplete, he can only transform his arms, legs and weapons. This is connected to the 40th anniversary of Rider, with W (V V) -> OOO -> ZZZZ [tl note: 2V, 3O, 4Z], pointing out as it's common feature

What is? The Rocket Punch Pun or the Fouze overall. I've tried googling this using "仮面ライダー フォーゼ" as a search string and it resulted minimal results and information. Looks like some people are calling this "ZZZZ" (Four Z). Apparently, those things attached to his arms are called rocket module, which increases the speed of his punches. Wow, that literally is a Rocket Punch. Pun intended.

Thanks, I am aware of the Factory X and Museum replicas. I also had a feeling that the deluxe shield I saw would have similar composition like a lid of a trash can. That's why I hesitated and researched a bit before buying it. But after seeing that shiny shield, I want that instead. I wonder if its bullet proof.

I do have a liking to the current JL header. It blends well with the site. I do like to ask what purpose these banners will be for. I mean obviously to advertise the site, but where will you put it? You can't exactly force people to use those banners, right? Me, for example, would not use any banners for my signature. I'm using my current one simply because there are other machines that would not be able to read Japanese fonts.

As far as I know, this is the replica of the shield used in the movie. It remains to be seen if any company is going to market this shield. but I would definitely get one of these if it does come out. Some people have guns in their car. Me, I'd like to have a shield instead.

Good luck with that! It may not be my place to say this, but any attempts to cajole our colleagues to sum up their creative skills, we end up wanting. Though it would be nice to have rotating banners for the site.

You guys all know I purchased a Captain America Shield, and I was a bit disappointed with it because it was really flimsy. But when I saw a new life size Captain America Shield that is made of metal, my eyes widened and I've decided to get it. You see, I was supposed to buy this today: But I lost interest in it when I saw THIS: Actually replica of the movie shield. I want this shield so bad. God any ideas where I can get it? Last I heard, it's priced at $2000. And yes, I'm willing to pay that much.

I think you should watch more drama, as this will drastically improve your Japanese listening skills. I'm sure you've caught a few words and phrases. Once you reach the point where you will only need certain keywords from the subtitles, it's fairly easy to watch without having to rely on the poorly subbed videos. You might even nitpick that the translations aren't quite as accurate as you thought. And since I'm 2 episodes short of completely finishing How I met your Mother, I'm gonna need more drama fix soon. So my current lineup would be Sexy voice & Robo. But Hotaru and Okane ga nai seems to be pretty interesting. Are they "widely" available in our favorite d-addicts?

Oh, by the way, here's the S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii that I bought from Japan. I gave this to my nephew and look at what he did to it. I should have bought Blade and kept it for myself. I'm showing this because I'm very impressed with the articulation. Just see how many figures out there can actually pull off an indian sit. I'm actually contemplating if I should start collecting the Kiwami Tamashii line. It's way cheaper than their bigger S.I.C. counterpart.

I've read somewhere that vol 60 of S.I.C. would be Skyrider, just right after vol 59, Fang Joker & Skull. I guess they're taking their time before rushing out any OOO's SIC.
