Somewhat ironic that the new reviewer works for one of advertisers here and writes reviews for the site they are advertising for.

Irony aside, the new reviewer seems to know what he is talking about and what he has to say is interesting, but not over the top.

Good job Chris, I look forward to reading future columns.


Uh.. what? This escaped my notice if it's true.

And who's Chris?


Opps, my bad. I thought his name was Chirs, but its actually David. I wrote that last message some what half asleep.

I initially thought David is involved in Big Bad Toys (an advertisement here) and writes reviews here. At the time, I didn't know I was wrong, but I thought it was ironic how a advertiser was writing reviews for the site they sponsor.

Any way, he made a great first column, I definitely will read future columns.

But, I'm a little confused. What series does the little cat like thing at the end come from? Very Happy I can't place it.


That's Arcueid, from Tsukihime. Dunno why she looks like a cat, though. Anime hyper


Neco-Arc at the TYPE-Moon Wiki

It's not mentioned there but she's also part of the Kara no Kyoukai movie theater toy skits reminding people not to smoke or talk during the movie.

The figure itself is this one, the very first Nendoroid ever. And no, no Chaos version.

Well, that was a fun read :3
I will definitely miss Rob's humor, but it looks like Dave isn't afraid to make his own thing out of this.
I particularily appreciate his attention to detail, seems like there was no stone left unturned on this one.

That wouldn't be ironic, that would be a serious conflict of interest.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I remembered seeing her in the stop-motion skit before the KnK movies. I probably wouldn't have recognized her otherwise!

Remember, ninjas can't catch you if you're Golgo 13 riding a giant Neco-Arc rocketing to the moon.

I think we'll do just fine.

It's hilarious that both your review and the Collection DX video review got the cigar backwards.

Welcome aboard man Very Happy

Last photo was epic. But after seeing so many of Rob's Krauser photos, I totally got the wrong impression of what was happening Anime hyper

Are you sure you're wrong? This is Golgo 13 we're talking about! He can probably do his three trademark things all at once.

It's the Chibi version of Arc, used in things such as KNK previews.

Also not mentioned in the Anime, she does have a cat, which can change form.

I'm usually not into collecting anime-related toys, but I do like reading "Astro Toy" from time to time. I was curious to see what Rob's replacement would be like, and David did not disappoint. Good job, David!
