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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Review Build: Phoenix Coronet
Are you a perfectionist in need of a model to thrash the habit out of you? Well then, have I got just the model for you! This model will convince you of two things: (1) perfect is just not possible, and (2) models can still look gorgeous (and slightly gaudy, if you’re honest), even when […]
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 […]
Coming Soon: Pisa and Mini Lions
After what seems like a long quiet period, Piececool has added 2 or 7 new models, depending on how you count it. The first on is the Torre di Pisa. Yes, that’s the “English” name of it. Don’t ask me. The other 1 (or 6) model(s) is/are the Mini Lion Dance model(s), basically miniature versions […]
Two Bits of News
One slightly delayed, one fresh off the press. Late last week, Piececool added the Garuda Coronet model, and just tonight, Metal Earth added the F/A-18 Super Hornet to the coming soon page. The Super Hornet was teased in a recent Metal Earth Newsletter (as well as on the back of another aviation model), but now […]
Piececool: New and Old News
If you like paper cranes, then you’ll want to read this post. And if you like stale news that I forgot to post about, I’ve got something in here for you, too! All of it from Piececool, and some may already be available. For the old news, I’ve gotta tell you about the Shen Lou […]
