Just finished watching Gundam Unicorn Ep 4: At the Bottom of the Gravity Well. It picks up from where Episode 3 finished. Banagher Links and the Unicorn Gundam were plummeting to earth after fighting with the Sinanju of Full Frontal. It is seen in the episode that Banagher was able to survive by taking shelter with the Garencieres.

I just had to post about Episode 8 of The Clone Wars titled The General. In the previous episode The Republic had taken to invading the planet of Umbara in order to prevent more planets from joining the separatists. Anakin SkyWalker and Obi One Kenobi’s Battalions play a pivotal role in capturing the capital according to the battle plan. Before however the battle gets into full swing, Anakin Skywalker is called back to the capital on the orders of Chancellor Palpatine himself. This left Rex and the rest of Anakin’s Battalion under the command of Jedi Pong Krell.

Released in 1987 by Hasbro for their GI Joe toyline was the Cobra Jetpack. The toy didn’t come with a figure. I always considered this to be the upgrade to the old Cobra CLAW that Cobra used for infiltration. In the literature it was a one man jet pack armed with machine guns and air to air rockets.

Update: Transformation Manual for the 1/60 YF-21 was translated to English and can be found here.

Got this recently from HobbyLink Japan, the 2010 re-release of the 1/60 Perfect Transformation YF-21 by Yamato Toys. This toy was first released in 2008 then re-released by Yamato Toys in June of 2010 with a different box art and without the fast packs. The 1/60 Fold Booster & Fast Packs for the YF-19 & YF-21 however can be purchased as a combined set
