I Called the Old Nintendo Power Hotline

Fist of The North Star (Hokuto No Ken)

SolidMike and I decided to put together a beginners guide to Anime for all those newbies who are just getting into it.  I figured to best start of this series would be to interview one of my personal favorites, "Fist of the North Star". Why this anime has become my favorite is not just merely the fact that the main hero, Kenshiro (from where I get my name), can destroy enemies with a single blow, it's also a love story and family feud mixed...

Jump the Gun: Lucy

Lucy (July 25, 2014) Story: A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. Brunpuppies - The trailer looked interesting.  It hasn’t really sold me on seeing it yet, but it was at least a good first impression.  It kind of seems like ScarJo is a little jealous that she didn’t get superpowers in the Avengers and now she gets...

Sailor Moon's New Transformation Compared to Old

Sailor Moon Now let me show you with this video how good the first transformation was of Sailor Moon (see video below).   You can see how she uses the magic of the Silver Crystal and the movements of her body are smooth and natural.  As for the second one, everything goes fine until her arm looks like it is made of elastic, slaps you in the face and then 3D till the end.   As I mentioned in a previous post the white pins...

LEGO Green Arrow by Nicolas “icare” Picot

French LEGO builder, Nicolas “icare” Picot, has constructed one the the coolest LEGO "action figures" I have ever see. I think it's the sheer size and ambition of the articulation that really impresses me. The subject of the build is DC Comics superhero, Green Arrow and he stands at a height of 50cm (just under 20") and has a a whopping 44 points of articulation! His bow and arrow also look stellar. This makes me want to...

First Look at Superman from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Warner Bros., via USA Today, has released the first official photo of Superman from the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie. The costume looks to be much the same as the one used in Man of Steel (still no undies on the outside) with a few very minor tweaks. He does seem to be sporting a new, shorter haircut. I would also assume the setting for this picture is possibly Gotham rather than Metropolis. Check out the image below and...

Knockoff Nation: Superman (Supermen) Minifigures

Welcome to another installment of Knockoff Nation. This is a (semi)regular article on HiddenLevel where I (OgelBlockHead) will review toys that come from the Far East, typically China, that are off-brand versions of more popular brands. In the past this usually indicated poorly made toys; cheap plastic, castings from lousy molds, sloppy paint, mismatched parts, etc., this is no longer always the case. If you know where to look,...
