This movie reduced me to a 7 year old, and I loved every minute of it.

The Helldiver is one of the supplementary mecha from the series Mobile Police Patlabor. The Helldiver is an airborne military operations labor. In short, it’s a big-ass robot that jumps put of planes.

If you have ever heard that special someone utter words like Kaiju, Chogokin, Die-Cast, High Metal, Mecha, Super Robot, Transformable, Sentai, DX, Jumbo, Tokusatsu or know what those terms mean then this is the buying guide for you.

So here is a little story about how CollectionDX really started whether Josh admits it or not. :)

The 80’s where a great decade of movies; Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon, Tron and The Black Hole come to mind to name just a few. After some discussion Josh and I decided to try a series of articles talking about some of our favorite movies of that era. So to get the ball rolling here is my retrospective on Flash Gordon the 1980 film.

So I went to my local theater to see Transformers this weekend. What did I think? Did I leave grinning from ear to ear, eager to see it again or has Michael Bay really done something unspeakable to a cherished childhood icon? SLIGHT SPOILER: WARNING IS GIVEN IN ADVANCE.

It's hard to believe, but Popy actually sold chogokin in plastic bags.

This piece has been a real exercise in frustration for me. For awhile I'd wanted a nice Aura Battler Dunbine toy but wasn't a big fan of the vintage diecast designs.

Sometime last year there was a sudden appearance of large bootleg toys originating in Taiwan calling themselves Jumbo Machinders.
