Bring Arts – Final Fantasy VII – Aerith Gainsborough

I just want to put out front here, Aerith, is not my favorite Final Fantasy VII character. In fact, she is probably on the bottom, by quite a bit. Like, I have a few favorites (Yuffie, Cait Sith, Cid) and everyone else is a bit below that in a plane, and then there is Aerith. But considering I plan to get everyone else from this line, it would be lame to leave out Aerith. Especially because, though I dislike her, she is, very much, central to the plot. I mean, aside from Cloud and Sephiroth, you could remove almost any…

BringArts – Final Fantasy VII – Cloud Strife

Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy VII were once a pretty big part of my interest many years ago. I probably would not be Ramen Junkie online if not for alt.games.final-fantasy on Usenet. FFVII is probably the most popular game in the series, and while I prefer FFX, a lot of people consider it to be the best. With the recent remakes, and all the spin off games and movies, the original character designs felt like they were kind of pushed to the side. I don't really pay much attention to any of Square's various "Arts" lines either I did not…

Weekly Wrap Up (07.30.2023 to 08.05.2023)

Who knows how long this one will last, but I've decided to try something different for Saturdays. Basically, just a sort of, rambly, weekly wrap up of... life. No structured requirements, maybe nothing happened and it ends up being short. Basically just sort of, straight regular journaling. What I've been doing, what I've gotten new, any major events, that sort of thing. I won't discuss work really, except in vague terms, for a variety of reasons. Something little I've been wanting to do, I added some outside speakers to my music set up, so I can listen to music outside…

Review – Transformers – G1 – Rodimus Prime

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before and chances are you already know, but a while back, Hasbro re-released several of the old G1 toys in commemorative packaging with, unfortunately, commemorative pricing. They ran 30 to 40 dollars each and were exclusive to Toys R Us. A few people bought it, but most didn’t. They made it to clearance and the occasionally discount clearinghouse store. That’s why I picked up Rodimus, sort of. Unlike Perceptor or the Incecticons, I wasn’t interested in him at 40 dollars. But for 8 bucks, I figure, how can one go wrong. Well, it’s possible you…

Power Rangers Lightning Collection Eye Guy

Of all of these Lightning Collection monsters, Eye Guy is one that differes quite a bit from the show design. For one, he's a lot more bulked out. The original costume has a weird design and you can tell the person inside is a lot smaller than the suit by the weird arms. It's not inaccurate, it's just a bit more stylized. The eyes are also a lot less detailed than the actual suit, which is likely a cost cutting measure. That said, there are a lot of eyes and it's kind of creepy. I also think the accessories are…
