Miss Voltron?

Posted on 22 May 2010 by admin

Many of you guys still missed the good ole days of Voltron? Do you used to get the cool robot toy like these?

(Sorry about the video quality. It’s not my video. I just found this on Youtube when searching for old school Voltron toy commercial, and it sounded pretty bad in the beginning…)

Well. Not anymore! Cause you can get them on collectibles now.

At least that’s what collectible game manufacturer, Monsterpocalypse, are giving us high school fans of robot toys.

The company offers this interactive board game.

Gameplay works with a huge mat thats has all the square marks the Voltron and Lotor’s forces collide in seeking the ultimate conquest of the universe. These square marks comes with many special abilities that grants the player to do many things. Some of them can be good for you to get far in the game. And some of them can be bad for you to let your enemies beat the game ahead of you, depending which side of the force you choose to play.

This board game comes with a couple of nice Voltron figurines, mostly mecha, that featured in the TV series.

Very nice!

Great fun for all ages (from 14+ plus as the pic above says :-/). Expected to arrive in stores in July 2010. Selling for US $49.99.  Check with your local retailers when they’re expected to come out!!

Fun with Gurren Lagann on Iphone

Posted on 27 April 2010 by admin

A while ago, Gainax, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’s creator, have been busy for the past few days in preparing (and finally releasing) their new range of cool gadgets stuff, featuring Gurren Lagann’s main characters as the main themes.

Gurren Lagann Iphone - featuring Yoko on the cover!!

New Iphone applications have been produced.  In fact, they’re actually game.  It’s the new touch adddres book theme, featuring Yoko.  Dubbed as Tatchigemuapuri Touch.

Now since as I don’t own an Iphone myself personally, so bear in mind when I do my best to describe what the software does, in one’s best interpretation.  (Spoilers alert!)

The game works within the touch app settings on the device which allows the user to get better interaction with the user.  And every action the user makes on the device, Yoko expressed different types of facial moods, depending on what sort of finger stroke actions the user’s intending to do with the Iphone.

Here’s the screenshots to demonstrate.

We have Yoko on the main picture

Yoko expresses grimaced look on her face, when changing setup.

Yoko expresses being happy after you’re completing the settings changes on the iphone.

You can set other Gurren Lagann’s  hero other than Yoko as your Iphone page cover.

Pretty neat.  As much as I’m dying to get this app, I couldn’t cause I have an android phone and I’m disappointed they didn’t make an Android version for this game. :-(

Oh well… At least there’s somebody out there who would love to give this a crack. See how you go!

You can download the app directly from App Store here.
