I'm proud to say I'm poppin' Iron Man's zits. In the latest BFGReview, I take apart Kotobukiya's Iron Man statue/model kit.

BFG5 - 5 Reason Video Gamers Should Look at Figure Collecting

Action Figures and Statues provide a new way to celebrate video game culture.

They say variety is the spice of life. As a retro video game collector, I've seen the grind... the hustle... I've been there, wheeling and dealing, trying to get the best deals on those hard to find classics. However, there came a time I hit a wall. I had found everything I originally had set out to find nearly a decade ago and seeing the same Mario Duck Hunt cartridge for the umpteenth time became dull. I needed a change. Action figures and statues was that outlet I needed. Although I am still a retro video gamer at heart, action figures and statues added that zest to collecting. Like a breath of fresh air, I have found that spice to make my hungry again.

Here are 5 reasons I recommend video games (specifically retro video game collectors) should look at Action Figure and Statue Collecting...

E.Honda Statue Release by Pop Culture Shock

Great detail. I love how the abs slowly fade into that gut! =D

Pop Culture Shock is releasing their latest edition of the Street Fighter quarter scale statue series. Slated for shipping Dec 2015, the world's greatest sumo wrestler and an original world warrior, E. Honda comes to life in gigantic, solid polystone form. Weighing a whopping 20lbs, the statue measures nearly 40cm high. But does bulk add up to a great statue?
