Leica X2 – Paul Smith Edition
October 31, 2012 by Leave a Comment
What do you get when you blend two companies who are masters at their craft? You get the new Paul Smith for Leica X2 Camera. The simple beauty and functional design of Leica was never compromised when Paul Smith added his magic touch to design this camera. Leica’s look and features are unmistakably present and anyone knowing Paul Smith’s colorful designs will be able to recognize and appreciate this wonderful collaboration. This is slightly out of my price range (USD $3,025 + State taxes and delivery), but if you are a camera enthusiast, you are probably drooling right about now.

Here’s 2 interpretation of the Marvel’s X-Men Nippon-style. Which is better?
This is the Marvel and Madhouse collaboration which featured 12 episodes. It was a hit and miss, but I’d actually had a fun time watching this series and hey, it’s Madhouse that did this!

Sengoku Avengers
October 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Alex Mitchell did his homework when he created these drawings of Avengers as Japanese warriors and gods. It would be great to see Alex taking these “Japanese Avengers” and make it into some kind of full-length anime film. How about a Seven Samurai-like adventure? Now that would be epic.

Here’s the non-LEGO video with Felix dropping 96,640 feet breaking the freefall record. He had a top speed of 536 feet, man, that is crazy. I would have black out at that speed. I guess this can be a real “Iron Man” suit!
