This is just a casual thing for now. However, I'm hoping some people will find this useful. I'm mainly going to focus upon Tokusatsu goods which are available in Seoul, South Korea (my home.) as well as books/magazines and little trinkets.

Everyone, and their dog is doing toy reviews - I think you guys have it covered much more efficiently than myself :D

So here's the first batch including an introduction and a Tokusatsu shopping guide for Seoul;

Those Armor Hero toys seem pretty spiffy, I can recall seeing a lot of weapon videos on Youtube and always wondered what they were like. I know they're from that company that loves to rip stuff off, so I can't imagine the quality is that good.

Spiffy videos, though, that looks like an awesome desk. XD

I think it's a good choice if someone can't make it to Japan. Especially in terms of being able to find the official Bandai Korea toy releases. I couldn't live in Japan because I'd never have any money!

Thank you :D It's getting a bit cramped in my room now due to all these books. The overall build quality of the henshin device for Armor Heroes is alright, but the action figures aren't very well painted and have no joints whatsoever. They are cheaper than the standard Bandai Korea sentai action figures, but not by much.

Go Onger figures retailed for about 11,000won and the Armor Heroes ones were about 8,800. The same price as the equally as crappy Rescue Force/Fire figures. The weapon/figure sets for Tiger/Mastiff and Rhino hero just got reduced in price down to 9,800won so I'm planning to pick them up on Friday.
