SRW Scramble Commander

  PS2 Super Robot Wars Scramble Commander - Shipping today

   Takanobu Terada, the producer of Super Robot Wars D and Super Robot Wars Alpha, and Kozo Igarashi who produced Evangelion and Kidou Senshi Gundam 0079 collaborate on a new Super Robot Wars game which takes the famous series from stutter-step 2-D grids to full-blown 3-D worlds.
   Join the crew, gang, and stalwarts of the Super Robot Wars games once again in tactical strategy battles which span the galaxy. Troop movement and positioning are handled on a lush visual 3-D world map but battles are shown in thrilling cinematic animations where special attacks, moves and other goodness are rendered in grand detail.
   Scramble Commander utilizes a new style of real-time strategic battling where the player becomes a troop commander who sends scout units on recon missions, heavily armored units on skirmishes and other fire fights.
   Beautifully rendered 3-D models and environments are featured in the game along with mecha and robots from many Sunrise, Toei, Gainax and Bandai animation series such as Combattler V, Dancougar, Evangelion, The End of Evangelion, Getter Robo, Great Mazinger, Gundam W, Gundam ZZ, Raideen, and Z Gundam.
   Early preorders will include a bonus 56-page art/data booklet.
 
 

Future Mickey from Medicom

  NEWS Medicom DHyp Future Mickey Figure - Shipping Nov. 2003

   Medicom recently announced a pair of new toys taken from disparate worlds. On one hand, the D-Hyp Future Mickey action figure designed by Hajime Sorayama looks like a high-tech kitchen appliance with it's shiny silver and gold metallic skin which reflects everything around it. If Mickey had a handle, we'd assume to pick it up and pour out a latte. The figure features ears which flap to and fro, articulated fingers and posable limbs. Priced at Y48,000 (~US$438) and measuring 35cm tall, NCS expects no buyers but we'll bring in a couple for inspection and demo. Delivery is expected on November 18, 2003.

Twiggy?

  NEWS Medicom Twiggy Action Figures - Shipping Jan. 2004

   Before Kate Moss defined the word "waif" for this generation, Leslie Hornby aka Twiggy exemplified waif for her generation. Born in Neasden, England circa 1949, Leslie's school chums teased her about her frail frame and skinny figure. Nicknames such as "twig" and "stick" were bandied about with abandon.
   Fast forward a few years and Leslie is discovered by the fashion industry thanks to a new haircut and some photos that were sent to various magazines. Twiggy eventually became the "Face of 1966" according to the Daily Express and caused an even greater splash when she invaded the USA in 1967 and businesses frothed forth a frenzy of products...


Twiggy, skinny and slim
