Review: Takara-Tomy Beast Saga Aljaylo Burst Action Figure


Takara-Tomy Beast Saga Aljaylo Burst Action FigureThey're here, they're clear, and people didn't get used to it.

Review: Takara-Tomy Beast Saga Buffam Action Figure


Takara-Tomy Beast Saga Buffam Action FigureI can't believe it, but Buffam has been sitting on the edge of my photo studio waiting for me to review him for over two years.

It didn't get ported to the USA, and it didn't really achieve much of an impact - it's doomed to obscurity, so it's time to write about this bull.
