Cardboard Iron Man is the best paper-based superhero ever

0
0

Maybe it's just me, but cardboard is starting to feel like the construction medium of this generation. Sure, people have been making boxy robot costumes out of cardboard for decades now, and they're alright, but just look at some of the amazing stuff people have been making lately. A realistic hearth with cardboard flames? An enormous cardboard ghost ship? Both amazing in their own right, and even a more traditional, but very impressive Freedom Gundam. But what about robot armor that's a lot more curved and form fitting?

Then comes Zhongkai Xiang, an artist so talented when it comes to cardboard he even got the attention of the Stan Winston School of Character Arts. The school first noticed his work last year and urged him to contact them when he come up with some new pieces. Boy did he ever. A year later he did a lot of smaller (and very, very cool) things (watch the video above to see them), but the real centerpiece was a life size and wearable version of the Iron Man armor in the movie style. No corners were cut to make every tiny detail out of cardboard. This is easily the most impressive cardboard bot/armor/whatever I've ever seen. If you've seen something better I'd like to see it. 

The school was also majorly impressed with his work, and you can hear their reactions in the video above. Have to say, I never really thought of cardboard as the ideal material for most of the things people make out of it, but that just makes me grateful that there are people out there more creative than I am. You can check out the gallery to see more of his work.

Sideshow opens orders for Prime 1's colossal Optimus Prime statue

0
0

Almost exactly a year ago to the day we first talked about Prime 1 Studio's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Megatron statue (which Sideshow is currently offering for May). The big guy towered at nearly three feet tall and broke the bank at around US$1,800 for Japanese retail! Surprisingly these sold out in some places pretty easily. Guess it shouldn't be surprising that Prime 1 is now moving on to their namesake with a new Optimus Prime statue.

Based on his Appearance from Dark of the Moon, Optimus is to scale with Megatron, standing a little over two feet tall at 27.6 inches, but a higher Sideshow price at US$2299.99. However, what he's lacking in stature he makes up for in extras. Prime will come with his shield, two energy swords, an energy ax, Mega Striker gun, two faces (with and without mask), and a special base to display the face you aren't using. He also has light up features in both hands (to illuminate his weapons) and light up headlights on his waist. 

Sure, he's expensive, but he's also a beautiful piece with tons of details, parts, lights, and a massive base. He may be out of your budget, but he's certainly worth admiring. If you can budget it Sideshow does allow payment plans that brings the price down to US$258.74 per month over nine months. That's more than my monthly car payment so I think I'll pass.

Volks Revisits the Idolm@ster for their next Dollfie Dream Releases

0
0

If you're a big Idolm@ster fan, you'll probably know about the cinderella girls 1st live magical event which is happening right about now! There's quite a bit of new info coming from the event, such as news of a cinderella girls anime being developed but Volks are also at the event after showing off their next releases in the Dollfie Dream line. Fans of cinderella girls will be able to get their grubby mitts on Shibuya Rin and Kanzaki Ranko at Dollpa 31 which will be held on May 5th! For those who are unable to make the event, I'm sure there will be an after-event lottery for you to try your luck. Either that or you can enquire about a proxy to increase your chances.

Those with a copy of Volks News vol 58 will probably have all the details but for the rest of us, we'll need to wait a little for information regarding price as their official mini-pages are not up yet. Also, it's rather interesting to see that while Ranko is getting a DD Sister release (in line with the other Idolm@ster releases), Rin appears to be getting a full sized Dollfie Dream release. Not sure why they decided to go that route but expect Rin to be rather expensive compared to the other girls.

Anyone stoked about these two new additions? I'm all DD'd out after I completed my Trinity. It's going to take a lot to make them into a quartet...
