From the Manufacturer

There's always a lot to do at Heartlake Stables. Mia loves hanging out at the stables and taking care of the horses. Help her groom and saddle the horses. Practice riding or jumping with 2 practice jumps. Feed them hay or carrots and give them water from the well. Keep the stables clean and sparkling with the pitchfork and wheelbarrow. When it's time for competition get the horses ready with soap, ribbons, brushes, bows and other accessories. Hang the prize ribbon on the stable door. Then take a break in the hayloft lounge with cups and read a book on horses. Includes Mia and Katharina mini-doll figures with 2 different colored horses: Bella and Niki.

I recommend this product to any one who enjoys putting things together.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The looks of the Real Grade Strike looks fantastic. The proportions is sleek, sharp, and it’s just… striking!
Lot’s of panel line. I know there are some times where too much panel lines are a bad thing, but so far the RG line is doing very good with the details.
The multiple shades of white and red is a nice touch, but I think it could have more color variations, like two different blues or three reds. There’s room on this Strike.
The Aile Pack looks great. The level of detail is very nice, and the construction, while simple, blows the HG version out of the water.
Great articulations. You can practically move almost everything.

Cons

Massive weight issue with the Aile Pack when attached to the Gundam itself.
The feet not being stable enough to hold the Strike. It’s very finicky and requires some patient.
I’ve had the legs pop off a couple of times during posing.
The peg for the beam rifle is a little tricky to put on, but it’s not impossible.
No Launcher or Sword Packs.
No Grand Slam.

Action Figures Revoltech Danboard

Product Features

· Danboard is a fictional character from the comedy manga series Yotsuba&!

· by Kiyohiko Azuma, the creator of Azumanga Daioh.

· Revoltech Danboard is being introduced in his robot 'suit' and comes equipped with Miura's replaceable head.

· This exciting figure is approximately 6-inches tall, has multiple articulation points by utilizing the innovative Revoltech joint system that allows the figure to demonstrate all kinds of poses!

· The figure also features light up eyes as an added bonus.

Here at Hobby Hovel, we’re no strangers to over-reviewed figures. Between the Good Smile Company Miku, Saber Lily and Dead Master, a lot has been said on figures that virtually everyone has seen and read about already. But I doubt any of those figures have received anywhere close to the amount of internet love as the Revoltech Danbo. In fact, this is undoubtedly the most unnecessary review on this site – I bet I can review a loaf of white bread and that would still be more informative than this. But oh well, since I haven’t had any other new toys arrive lately, I’m flat out of choices, so Danbo it is!

Also known as Danboard and Cardbo, Danbo originates from the manga Yotsuba&!, the brainchild of Kiyohiko Azuma of Azumanga Daioh fame. Faster than a jumbo jet and capable of launching deadly warheads, Danbo is a powerful battle robot that runs on money – that’s the story Miura and Ena told Yotsuba, at least (it’s actually just their school project).

But in all honesty, Danbo’s backstory really doesn’t matter much, because bitches love the little cardboard robot regardless of whether they know of its hilarious antics or not. One look at the photo pool of virtually any toy-related group on Flickr would reveal the extent of this infatuation. With its simple design, Danbo seems to have also found a fanbase amongst hipsters. So what is it that makes this toy the sweetheart of manga geeks, toy collectors and hipsters alike? Hit the jump to find out!

Despite being just a blocky cardboard man, the Revoltech Danbo is suprisingly detailed. The cardboard edges has are lined with dark brown, and the switch on Danbo's head and the coin slot on its chest are both flawlessly painted. More impressive is the shading on the flat surfaces. Darker tones are applied subtly around the edges to give the figure a slightly more realistic look – something I did not expect out of a Revoltech figure.

The Ideal Lego Starter Kit

The Lego Ultimate Building Set includes everything a child needs to take the first steps to becoming an expert Lego builder. It includes one mini figurine, a building plate, and a wide mix of standard bricks in various colors as well as house and wheel elements.

Following the included instructions and using pieces in the starter kit, kids can build a house, helicopter, dog, and car. The only flaw is that the instructions may be challenging for younger children, and require adult assistance.

As is the case with virtually every Lego set, your child will be limited only by his, or her, imagination and perseverance. Although the kit is designed for younger children graduating from Lego Duplos, you can be confident that your child will never actually grow out of the Ultimate Building Set. All of the pieces can be incorporated into future Lego collections.

What's in the Box
