Sometimes it’s nice to get a quick, simple build in. Especially if you’ve just finishing a meticulous build, right after a long break from building (don’t worry, that post is coming, I’m just doing this slightly out of order). And this retired model satisfies that requirement… for the most part. You probably won’t be that […]
Review Build: Drogon
This has been a long time coming… no, seriously, I knolled this model out several months ago. Is there some irony that I knolled it out in the fall, and actually built it in the winter? Anyways, dad humor aside, I always enjoy building dragons, even if they are from a TV show I’ve never […]
Somewhat-News? Catching Up…
Once again, and unsurprisingly of late… I am late with the news. So, it’s “somewhat new” news. Right? Anyways, I’ll give you one guess as to which model I am most excited about in the models shown above. Hint: it’s the Sandcrawler. Dang, I think I just gave it away. Anyways, in this months edition […]
2022 Metal Earth Retailer Catalog
I went to post my earlier update today in the usual places (reddit and a facebook group) and found that someone had posted some pictures of a Fascinations / Metal Earth retailer catalog, with some unannounced models appearing in it (along with some announced, some already released, and some long released). And there are some […]
Coming Soon: Transformers Transformed
Metal Earth has now added the revamped and updated Megatron and Soundwave models to their coming soon page. These new versions are more than meets the eye just a new paint job. Much more. Not only do they feature coloring, changes poses, and a lack of base… these models show just how much the Metal […]
Gratuitous News Post
So yeah, time for another “all the news I’ve failed to share as it actually happened” news post. I’m probably not sharing anything you didn’t already know about. But I feel like if I ignored it and just posted the next news items without these, it would be wrong. So… yeah. Not-so-new news coming at […]
News Overload (Over Time)
Once again, much time has passed, and during that time, much news has happened in the realm of the brands that I try to keep up with. This time, there are 10 models to cover, 5 from Metal Earth (but I would hazard that there are at least 3 more implied) and 5 from Piececool. […]
What’s Up With the Blog?
Hey everyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. I alluded to this in my last post, but work has been rather rough lately, and it hasn’t really let up much. I’m in a new role, with increased responsibilities, some of which results in me spending a lot more time in meetings, which […]
How to Build a Borg Cube Model
Many moons ago I was inspired by another builder using their scrap empty sheets as they created a structure or sorts with it. Something about seeing what they had done triggered a part of my brain that had previously thought it would be super-cool if Metal Earth made a Borg Cube model (layered, not just […]
Exclusives, and Sneak Peeks, and News, Oh My!
I’ve done and gotten behind again on bringing you the news, but I have a special surprise that I found just today… two new Universal Studios exclusives. I have got to get my hands on that E.T. model! The other exclusive is the Studio Tour Tram, which I’m not as excited about, but it does […]
