Corner Bites Issue 1: S.H.Figuarts Omegamon - What's Different, Might Be Different and Not [Updated 9-17-2015]
Welcome to the very first issue of Corner Bites! This is part of two new contents that I've been planning for the blog. This one, I've been planning for months now and with a bit of push since Luis (from the fanpage, thank you for your suggestion!) also suggested this, I thought now is a good time to roll this out. Basically Corner Bites is where I tend to give my impressions on certain figures because I love to analyze stuff when it comes to the figures when I have free time and as such, I give my opinions about it and some insights if it's an upcoming figure. And what good topic to start the Corner Bites than to discuss something about the recently revealed S.H.Figuarts Omegamon [Bokura no War Game (Our War Game)], which is part of the Tamashii Web Exclusives for January 2016.

Bandai's Upcoming D-Arts Dukemon
Finally, something to pose alongside Beelzebmon!
And my most awaited Digimon finally appears!
Easily known as Gallantmon in the US, bandai is finally releasing this wonderful Digimon which was previewed since last year; Packed with his removable Lance and Shield, Tamashii also stated that he will also come with a stand (which I am guessing would be the same as Omegamon's sucky stand but hopefully a better one)
Dukemon is scheduled for an August release for 5,040 yen. Definitely higher but luckily not as high as Omegamon's SRP. A no brainer get for me.

December Hauls: An Early Christmas
First wave of Xmas hauls 8D
It really did feel like Xmas already when I brought home all these. XD
In reality, 5 of those were my pre-orders which would be the scaled figures and figma Homura, but as for SHF Cure Black and White Max Heart versions, supposedly, they are also on my orders list, but my supplier got cut-off so I wasn't able to get them; I just happened to have stumbled on them for a ridiculously cheap price which is why I got them immediately. And lastly, for Beelzebmon, well, he's really cheap at HLJ and just when they had the flat rate shipping offer weeks ago, I had Beelzebmon ordered and so I finally have all D-Arts Digimon figures released to date XD
And a non-haul but will be someone's haul in the coming Saturday, whoever gets mine for our exchange gift will receive this tiny badass gundam.

Review: [Bandai] D-Arts Black War Greymon
| Figure Information | |
| Manufacturer: | Bandai |
| Origin Series: | Digimon Adventure 02 |
| Scale: | Non-Scale |
| Height: | Approximately 14cm tall |
| Original Price: | 3,465 Yen |
| Figure Box: |
As a traditional exclusive, Black War Greymon gets the good ol' brown box of exclusivity (lol!) but yeah, that's much more of an extra protective gear for the box; so going to the real box, Black War Greymon gets this rather better designed box than War Gremon, sporting a black with shades of green all over as well as some purple slash effects on the box (Nemesis Prime colors, lol!) But yeah, it's still pretty plain and not as awesome as the one Omegamon had.
| Figure Details: |
A direct repaint of War Greymon as he should be, Black War Greymon sports shades of silver, gold and glossy matte black finish, and is done quite decently; though I would appreciate it if it was metallic, I think the matte finish was a more suited approach so kudos bandai. As a main difference as from the color scheme, it's that Black War Greymon's shield on his back doesn't have the courage symbol in it, thus making it the only "new" thing in this mold.
While overall, I like it just the way how Black War Greymon should be (he is my favorite Digimon of all), there's one fatal flaw on this figure's details for me. That certain flaw would be his eyes, though it's not all bad, it just looks scary as the pupil is smaller than War Greymon's making it a semi crazed one even if Black War Greymon should've had the same eyes as War Greymon originally. But yeah, that could easily be fixed for some but me, I'm too afraid to do so lol! But yeah, still the same complaint about the chrome nails in the drammon claws though on a side note, it's better in terms of blending with Black War's color scheme.

As a little note for comparison, here he is with War Greymon!
| Accessories: |
Probably the most annoying thing ever, he's really JUST A REPAINT, bandai never bothered giving him a different effect part but still stuck with that sucky charging phase of a Gaia Destroyer. I think it does sport a slightly different color but yeah, I think a lot of people really didn't enjoy this effect part from War Greymon, so if you didn't then you won't in here as well.
| Articulation: |
Articulation is totally the same as War Greymon's as they didn't even try to improve on some of War Greymon's slightly loose feel of joints but yeah, you can just read the articulation discussion over at War Greymon's (which is also at an old review format).
Despite the bad eyes, Black War Greymon's color scheme does prove more appropriate to more hostile types of poses all over, almost as if he's built to attack (and he supposedly was) This digimon just rocks more than War Greymon in giving off a stylish feel.
| Final Thoughts: |
Even though Black War Greymon's my favorite he'd likely get a low score because of 3 reasons; 1. His final production is a little off, 2. He's an exclusive with almost no changes (hey even Eternal's recolor had at least a different cape!) and 3. Being an exclusive that he is, he's pretty pricey for those outside Japan, so, yeah, definitely not worth his price and I would only recommend getting him IF and ONLY IF you're a Black War Greymon fan like me since this is probably the best one you can get right now. But as for other who only want the mold, go for War Greymon as he's more worth your money.
