It’s time for another trip to the Piececool Q-series line of Legend-esque models. Thanks to some helpful readers and comments on Reddit, I’ve learned that I should have done this in groups of three. Apparently the first two I built were two of the three main characters. But… consistency wins, and I’m going to keep […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Goes to the Shops
Piececool dropped three new models recently, all in a shopping theme, if you excuse me categorizing the Restaurant model as shopping to simplify the idea. Honestly, though, I’d be kinda hard-pressed to figure out which was which just from looking at them. To help out, the models in the image above and gallery below are, […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Goes Historical
Ending their Chinese New Years hiatus, Piececool added two new models to their website, both of seemingly historical significance, and both in the new IP-designated line of models that started with the Terminator Rev.9 model. One is called the Moire Copper Ban Bronze Jin with Cloud Design and the other is Chime Bells from the […]
Builds: Two of Piececool Q-Series
Did you know that Piececool also made a Legends-style series of models? Not a lot of attention was given to them, but I managed to come across them by accident quite a while back. These two models, Krohn and Dorado, come from the only “set” in the series, based on a Chinese story called the […]
#TT: Temple of Heaven
So, I’ve not done a Throwback Thursday post in a while, and I recently thought about the fact that I did a lot of compressed reviews (compressed to the 2000 character limit of Instagram captions) before I started the blog. And since this blog is supposed to be a resource for builders, it would be […]
Build: Terminator Rev.9
By popular choice on Instagram (and Facebook, accidentally), the Terminator Rev.9 was selected as my “next” build a couple of weeks ago. And so I set out to build this beast. After the brief butterfly interruption, that is. And holy cow, that took a while. At only 3.75 ICONX-scale sheets, it still took me roughly […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
