Pokemon Plamo Victini Build & Review
It’s become habit to start my Pokemon builds by laying out the markers I’ll be using for painting. For Victini, I’ve gone with red and light blue from the Gundam Seed Destiny set, and a standard black. I threw in the Seed Destiny white, too, when I realized there are in fact white stickers, and towards the end, a fine-tipped black panel line marker also came in handy! For those o...
Pokemon Plamo Victini Unboxing
Pokemon Plamo #20 is Victini! It’s a generation V Pokemon that’s among the fan favorites because of its super cute look. This kit is somewhat unique in that Bandai has dedicated and entire kit to one small, not terribly detailed monster with no evolutions. It’s similar to the Pikachu and Eevee standalone kits. At first glance, you might think this means it’s going to be a r...

Pokemon Plamo Zekrom Build & Review
Let’s get to it! Lately I start all my Pokemon projects by painting them with Gundam markers a day or two before I start the build, giving them plenty of time to dry. It’s hard to tell, but on the runner above I’ve painted black on the wing webbing, and the knees. Here, I’ve painted one part of the mouth pink. I didn’t realize until I started building that the piece n...

Zekrom is the box art monster from Pokemon White, and is a member of the “Tao trio” of legendaries from the game. If I recall correctly, White was actually the last new-generation game I played (it’s been a while… ...

Yokohama’s Unko Museum
Unko — yes, poop. Japan’s Unko Museum opened on March 15, 2019 as a limited-time exhibition. Originally scheduled to close on July 15th after a decent 4-month run, its popularity has given it another two months! As of this writing, the museum will be in full swing until September 30th.
