Yeah, I built two of them! What you see here is the classic silver AT-AT model, and the Disney Parks Exclusive colored version. And while this is the first time I’ve built the colored one, the silver is a replacement for a model that got heavily damaged a while back when I had the unfortunate […]
Coming Soon: Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker
Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker dropping into Coming Soon on the same day? I knew I sensed a disturbance in the Metal Model Hobby, as if hundreds of individuals were greatly pleased. Oh, and they’ve added the Osprey that was teased in the Newsletter. Which is still cool, don’t get me wrong. It’s just in the […]
Coming Soon: Piececool’s Moon Palace
So it is again that we see a new model trickling into existance over on Piececool’s website. We have only a few images for this Moon Palace model, and they all seem to be derived from the same photograph. Surprisingly, the photo of the product box is rather high-res, so I was able to extract […]
New Jeep and Updated Shuttle Photos
Well, I guess I should have waited one more day to make that post about some new models coming. Metal Earth has added a new variation of the Willys jeep to the coming soon. This ICONX model is titled Willys Overland, and appears very similar to the Willys MB Jeep. At the same time, some […]
More Models On The Way
Bridging the gap (or ocean, in this case) I’m going to drop a quick post here about 3 new models. That includes one new model being teased in the Metal Earth Newsletter for December, and two variations of the same model that have trickled onto the Piececool website. Thus we have the V-22 Osprey and […]
Build: Goofy
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 […]
