The In-Voice: Haim Saban, the man that’s trapped in the past

00-Power-Rangers-20

(This will be a very long column, so brace yourselves)

It’s the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, a momentous occasion in the history of franchise which fueled our childhood. When Megaforce showcased all the ranger keys, the writing was on the wall: we’re going to have Gokaiger-esque alumni ranger reunions! It was going to be awesome, as we’ll have people ranging from Tommy Oliver to maybe even RPM crew come back for this milestone.

Yeah, about that last part….

iron-man-3-poster

In Iron Man 3, a terrorist called ‘The Mandarin’ threatens America with various acts of terrorism. When one of the terrorist attacks affects people that are close to Tony Stark, he puts on his new Mark 42 armor and sets off on a path of revenge.

Evolution!

Plastic Joint is now Plastic Ronins!

This is something me and Ramses have been discussing for quite sometime now. We believe that a change may be needed to expand from the point we’re currently at. There will be few more changes coming soon, but the biggest one right now would be the website name itself. It’s safe to say we outgrew the name ‘Plastic Joint’, so we thought about what could be our new name. To me, ‘Plastic Ronins’ work, because it’s more than just a title – It’s a personal statement. We will not bow to any higher person/group/beings, we will express our opinions with honest attitude, and we’re proud to say this is our website. The new name may be silly to some, but it still carries more weights than say… ‘Plastic Joint’.

Content-wise, nothing will change. Toy news will be posted, and Go-Toku Review will return soon. Not to mention, site layout will get some tweaks here and there soon. But for now, this is the change that we made and we’re sticking to it. So if you have this website bookmarked, edit ‘Plastic Joint’ to fit the change or simply bookmark us again. Thank you for your patience, and keep checking us out for more toy news to come.

3-Point Anime Review: Suisei no Gargantia

Welcome to 3-Point Anime Review, where I talk about the new anime I’ve been watching and discuss my opinion of whether you should keep watching or drop it after 3 episodes (hence 3-point). Keep in mind that this is solely my opinion and dropping or watching the anime series is entirely up to you, the viewers. Also, a fair warning, this segment will be very sporadic. I don’t watch as many anime as I used to, so I tend to be very selective about what I watch nowadays.

That said, let’s get to the first anime for this segment…
