It’s time for another other-side-of-the-world exclusive model build! Thanks again to Instagram’s @tomz961 for the incredible gift of sending me the three character models that are exclusive to Disneyland Shanghai. It’s been a while since I built Donald, and I promised to save Pluto for last, so I recently built Goofy. And yes, I did […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Brings a Warrior
Well, I tried to wait to see if more was coming, but they’ve not updated the site since AnimateOrange pointed out that they had half-dropped a new Model on the Piececool website. I say half-dropped, because this Er-Lang God (seriously, that’s the English name) model has one and only one photo on the product page. […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Opera & Carousel
Yep, that’s right. Just in time to probably miss Christmas (in the US), we are going to see two new Piececool models: the operatic Huadan (Yang Gief) and the Merry Go Around. Only Huadan has a release date posted, which is Dec 5th. But the one I’m more excited about is the Merry Go Around, […]
Build: Hogwarts Express (BAM! Exclusive)
I originally reported that this model (exclusive to Books-A-Million and subsidiaries, such as 2nd and Charles) was a colored version of the classic silver Hogwarts Express with the addition of a display base. I am glad to admit that I was wrong. While this may be based on the classic model, it’s actually been revised […]
Sneak Peek: P-40 Warhawk
This is why you subscribe to the Metal Earth Newsletter. You get nifty little sneak peeks from time to time, like this teaser of a P-40 Warhawk model currently in development (note the little footnote in the bottom right, where it says “not the final model”). Gotta say I’m digging the paint job with the […]
Coming Soon: Two New Aviation Models
I knew the Coming Soon section couldn’t stay empty for all that long. Looks like we are getting two new Aviation models, one terrestrial, and one space-bound. And I do want to emphasize new, because you might think that the Space Shuttle Discovery is just a colored version of the classic silver model, but you’d […]
A Collection of Random News
Got a few little tidbits for you today, some slightly aged, some new. Been a busy week for me (in my real job) and I kept forgetting to write up some posts about this stuff, so here it is, all in one post. First up, a new Universal Studios exclusive model has shown up on […]
Update on Some Exclusives
Thanks to the avid internet sleuthing of several builders, I have a few updates on how to get your hands on some exclusives that you may not know about. First off, via reddit’s Drummer7416, who got it via interface2x, we have a link to pre-order the Books-A-Million exclusive Hogwarts Express (in color, with tracks)! Unfortunately, […]
Hobbytown Exclusives In-Store Now!
It turns out that where I thought that the Hobbytown in Little Rock was closed at some point, it actually was just relocated, and Google Maps didn’t update their data. So, seeing as I was halfway there for another errand today, I decided to drop by and confirm a juicy rumor I’d heard… namely that […]
Piececool’s Gone Full Metal with Terminator
Holy crap-nuggets! Is this for real? Thanks to AnimateOrange who clued me in about Piececool dropping another coming soon model today. This Terminator from the Dark Fate movie is insane. According to the website, it’s only 3 and 3/4 sheets, but I don’t know how that’s possible. Look at all the layering! According to the […]
