So it's been a while but it's time for another letter and it not to who you think. These letters are never meant to insult but to offer constructive criticism and advice. So with SDCC ending and so many announcements the one that made me super happy was about Pacific Rim: Uprising. We got both a teaser trailer and merch.  That merch is why I am writing a letter I have ideas.

This Out of the Box we look at the S.H.Figuarts or the rouge Konoha ninja Sasuke Uchiha. This is the second figure in the Naruto line and resembles the character in the later story arc leading to the series end.

OK so time for the review I promised back in January the Review of the 1st wave of S.H.Figuarts Kinnikuman figures. Now a will more than likely repeat myself from that last blog but that will be just to get my point across about how awesome these figures are. So without further ado  let get started.

So welcome to Out of the Box a series of blogs that will review the figures that I am collecting.  So this entry I will be looking at S.H.Figuarts Luigi.

This entry of Art of the Shelf we talk about the art of Troop Building. What is Troop Building you may ask? Well troop Build also known as army building is the purchase of multiple copies of a figure to create an army of them for display purposes. This is generally done with the nameless foot solider like cobra troopers and storm troopers for example.

So this post, like my prediction, will be broken down by company talking about what each company presented at this years Toy Fair. So without further ado New York Toy Fair.

With New York Toy Fair being this weekend and I’m still not sure how I’m going to cover it; if I will do a beast of blog post or talk about it on the next week show. I figure I’d do my wish list of what I’d like to see announced this year's and talk about the  pre show  done by Mezco toys.

So In this most recent podcast I mentioned that I’m trying to get back into anime. Then I got to thinking about my top 10. Now if anyone is interested in that, I'll include that in a separate post. One of my favorite anime and manga properties is a Shōnen series called Kinnikuman (Japanese: キン肉マン , lit. "Muscleman"). It’s a story about superheroes who wrestle, it's kind of awesome. I mentioned this series a few months back in an IT CAME FROM JAPAN segment on the on the podcast. The only thing I love more than comics and cartoons are action figures from said comics and cartoons. I, however, have very little Kinnikuman merch at all. The reason for this is when I got into the series was when the Ultimate Muscle anime was on the Fox Box (remember that one kids) and dubbed by 4kids . Bandai of America did have toys for the anime. They brought over the Kinkeshi rubber-mini figures as well as 6 inch hyper-pose-able figures. I had one or two of the 6 inch figures...
