Pre-orders for Wing's Purple Heart come online
Wing's take on Hyperdimension Neptunia's Purple Heart has hit the pre-order scene. She definitely lives up to her name, being a very purple-and-black character, and she lives up to Wing's reputation of producing well-detailed figures in slightly larger scales. Her processor unit can also be removed if you want to display her like that, but to me, it makes her a lot more boring.
Purple Heart's retail price is a pretty staggering ¥17,800; remember she's a 1/7-scale PVC figure. I can't justify spending that much for something at that scale, no matter the amount of detail sculpted into it. Can you?

NECA/WizKids sneaks Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroclix into retail
Early last year, NECA/WizKids picked up the license to produce merchandise based on the hit anime/collectible card game Yu-Gi-Oh!; following that announcement, NECA had a handful of less than exciting items on display at SDCC and then that seemed to it for a while. So imagine my surprise when I stopped in a new hobby gaming shop in my area and was confronted by starter packs of a Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroclix set on the wall. Pretty sneaky, sis!
WizKids, bought by NECA in 2009, apparently had been updating fans but we hadn't heard anything from parent company NECA for a while. Apparently that game wallet Kickstarter eventually included tiered rewards like the Dark Magician Heroclix figurine and a lot of figures have been announced since then including the Summoned Skull, Morphing Jar, Time Wizard, and Gate Guardian.
The starter set, available now, includes the iconic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Dark Magician, Breaker the Magical Warrior, Feral Imp, Hitotsu-Me Giant, and Des Feral Imp (ID'd thanks to a unboxing video) as well as maps, rulebooks, and other assorted goodies needed to play the game.
While I don't play Heroclix, I imagine that I'll still be picking up quite a few of the blind-boxed packs for the figurines themselves. Hopefully NECA eventually gets to work on some higher-end YGO! collectibles since the initial press release promised things like action figures.

Seven of the Best Film Themed Slot Machines
American poet and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau once said, “This world is but a canvas to our imagination.” Nothing seems to emphasise the concept of art being all around us quite like the idea of theme based slot machines. With online gambling sites like jackpotjoy Bingo, we find endless examples of fantastically themed slots, although the true art can be found outside of the web, with the ‘read deal’ slot machines. Film themed slots are personally my favourite, deeper analyzing how creators have transformed a film and its complex ideas into a gambling machine is rather interesting. Here are seven of my favourite film themed slot machines.
The Hangover
With this film taking place in Las Vegas, and with many scenes inside of a casino, The Hangover is an obvious choice for a film based slot machine. In case the symbols, which include a baby, tiger, bloody tooth, liquor and Alan’s infamous man-bag are not enough, the main voiceover that hosts the game is none other than the hilarious Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong). What’s not to love?
Star Wars
With one of the greatest followings of movie history, this Star Wars themed slot has three base games that correspond with the three original movies, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. With a large number of images and sounds from the films, this will have any Star Wars fan hooked.
Star Trek
Another film with a massive following, these slots see symbols of iconic characters, such as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, as well as the legendary Enterprise. Keeping it old-school with sounds and images, the Trekkies are in for a treat.
The Lord of the Rings
Based on Peter Jackson’s movie adaption of Tolkien’s epic book series, this machine takes you on an adventure through Middle Earth, with the breathtaking official soundtrack to keep you company. ‘The Balrog’, ‘Isildur’s Sword’ and ‘Gandalf’s Fireworks’ are only a few of the fantastic bonuses players can choose from.
Indiana Jones
When the iconic Indiana Jones theme song begins to play, everyone in the casino knows that some brave soul has just begun an adventure of wit and bravery. Outsmart the booby-trap-ridden machine, and you’ll be leaving heavy pocketed.
Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? Slimer? If you are able to ignore the sarcastic teasing and mocking of Slimer, the ghost that leads players through the game, you are definitely in for a treat. With additional graphics, sound effects and the ever-popular theme song, you’ll be a regular ghost buster after your first spin.
Willy Wonka
Based on the 1971 classic, this slot bring Roald Dahl’s magical chocolate factory to life. With the perfect amount of adventure, theatrics and whimsical characters, this slot will leave you wanting more… chocolate!
