I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this generosity, but a fellow builder friend was not only kind enough to help me acquire this model (that is exclusively available as Disneyland Paris), but he ended up just giving it to me. And this is not the first time he’s done something like this! Thank […]
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 […]
News Roundup: Coming Soon and Exclusive
That’s right! I’m running behind again. So let’s catch up on some things you might have missed, at least if I was your only source of metal model news. Quick summary: Universal Studios added a new Hagrid’s Motorbike exclusive, Metal Earth has published the Quidditch Pitch and Bumblebee to the coming soon page, and Piececool […]
Coming Soon: London Eye and Pisces
Piececool just dropped the next Zodiac Crane, as well as a larger version of the London Eye. And by “dropped,” I mean added pages for them. And by “just,” I mean that I just noticed it. Not sure how recently they appeared. Anyways, the new zodiac-themed-paper-crane-from-that-artist-guy is the Pisces model. Guess we’ll be getting these […]
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. […]
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 […]
Coming Soon: Piececool’s On Fire
No, you are not seeing double, triple, sextuple, or octodecuple. Or any variant of all that. Piececool has loaded twelve new models to their website – two new groups of six. That makes three groups of six, two of which are variants of lucky lions, and the third seems to be lucky cranes. I guess […]
