My Swag!

I'm home now and back at my apartment.  I got most of my stuff back with me, though a few items are still at my parents' house.  I thought I'd post some pictures of some of the swag I got while I was in Japan though
 This is most of it laid out, minus accessories and stands
 Kaempfer Amazing still needs to be built.  You can see he's got a fairly good sized box
Batsh, a brand new all plastic kit just recently put out by Volks.  I'm pretty sure that's a mistranslation of it's name though.  I've seen it more commonly romanized as Vatshu.  Really, both the name and design are based on the Bat-Shu from Heavy Metal L-Gaim.  I'd say Vatshu or Batshu would likely be the appropriate name for this thing.  Obviously, this still needs to be built.  This guy looks to be both complex, and huge.  He should look damn impressive though when he's done.  Hopefully I won't be tearing my hear out in frustration while building him.
 A vinyl kaiju I picked up of the Baltan Battler from an Ultraman arcade game that looked a lot like Monster Hunter and used cards to control the gameplay.  It looked difficult as all hell, but the redesigned monsters looked really neat.  There's a much cooler, smaller figure of Baltan, Guts, and Magma as well, but I didn't actually find the Baltan one, just the other two.  I really wish Bandai would make an Ultra-Act figure of this design, because he looks really cool.
 Alien Pestar, from the Ultrabone line.  He's a modular, skeletal Ultraman monster.  Not much else to say about it except that he glows in the dark.  I wanted to get the Dadas from the line, but wound up with Pestar and (I think) Black King instead.
 A small model of the flying battleship Wunder from the third Evangelion movie.  It's weird and neat looking.
 A Mojibakeru I picked up.  I don't know what the kanji is, but it turns into a humanoid lion guy, which is cool.  This series of Mojibakeru are able to combine to make bigger stuff.
 The Galaga.  Yeah, this is based on the player's ship from the old Namco game Galaga.  This is a kit put out by Wave and the ship was redesigned by Kow Yokoyama of SF3D fame.  I will need to paint this.  I actually got this thing built this afternoon.
 A Crossbone Vanguard Den'an Gei from the Black Vanguard Squadron.  This is a semi-articulated figure from Bandai's G-NEXT SD Gundam line.
Kamen Rider Gaim from G-NEXT's Kamen Rider themed sister line.  He is also semi-articulated, but has a hard time standing up.

More to come as I get to it.
