Okay, I hadn't seen those gashapon figures yet either...gotta admit--they're pretty fucking cool! No articulation, but pre-painted and sharply molded. They look pretty legit.

I think it's kinda great that they're making even more-affordable versions of the main line figures...and even sneaking in some exclusive sculpts. That way, more kids can get involved in the game.

The reviewer's comment about anyone being interested in the dice game being "dead" to him was pretty annoying though. Dude, these are toys for children. They're not made for you; get over yourself. Just smacks of fanboyism...

The cartoon is so good. It airs in the mornings in japan, just as the kids are getting ready for school. I can totally see some moms dressing their kids as they just sit there and watch the show.

The animation overall it pretty decent and the episodes I saw looked fun.

Nah, Adam is a good guy, and typically beats the "It's just a toy, relax" drum. I think he's going for a joke there.

Still not sure if the line is continuing, or if it's all wrapped up.
