Amazing 1:6 SHIRANUI
Anyone wanting to show their appreciation of this site can remember me at Christmas and send about three bills to Art of Toy in Japan… I’m actually a big fan of the Keita Amemiya’s Mirai Ninja (aka Cyber Ninja and/or … Continued
Revenge of the Menkos
Now these are some awesome menko cards! Watari the Ninja Boy, Sasuke, Tange Saezen and more, represented by original art from the card company – hence the slightly off model illos. And do we really need that male nudity??? This … Continued
Remembering “Silent Interlude”
It was the winter of 1984 that Marvel Comics and creator Larry Hama quietly let loose one of the most significant pieces of media of the entire 80’s craze. Seeing as the massive and ridiculous GI Joe movie is #1 … Continued

Konoe’s Jubei
