Drive Head movie trailer

I'm doing my best to be patient for my newest Drive Head order to arrive, free shipping from Japan usually means a month but somehow feels like forever. I think if I can tolerate the delivery time, I'll buy more this year and maybe finally splurge on some Shinkalion. I've been way to reserved on them as I think they're super cool. I should probably watch more of the shows too. The recent Drive Head movie had a bit of a crossover, which is neat. I'd love the toys to find their way to the US... but that might be a stretch to realistically expect.

I just realized I've never opened Rescue Helicopter.

What am I doing not opening Rescue Helicopter?

I need more Drive Heads

My White Hope arrived this weekend and while I wait for his support vehicle Rescue Helicopter to show up I've made my mind up. I need more Drive Heads. Definitely want a Sonic Interceptor and most definitely a Transporter Gaia. These things rule.

Now this is cool

Apparently in Japan there's a Takara promotional DVD available if you buy at least 2,500 yen in I'm assuming Transformers or other Takara product. The DVD markets Transformers, Shinkalion, and Driveheads. So of course it has my interest. I'm also fully admitting to enjoying looking at foreign advertising (which Zone Base readers have already figured out).

Just can't get them out of my (drive) head

My infatuation with Driveheads continues to grow as the wait for the toy's I ordered continues. Free shipping from Japan is code for 'about a month' and January is a magical month where time slows to a halt. Something I really appreciate after the hustle and rushed nature of the holiday season, but when you're waiting on something... good grief. The toys themselves are pricey enough (though, I've found them for reasonable prices in the most obvious of places) to keep me from going on a buying spree and snapping them all up as fast as possible. Fortunately the usual array of smaller/cheaper convenience store toys are available and might just prove to be the stop gap I need in between importing and waiting forever.

I've always been a fan of these type toys, so they're something I naturally gravitate towards anyway. Long before everyone was hip to the Kabaya model kits, I was steadily snapping them up (they sure were cheaper back then too *shrug*) as well as the random figurines produced of various characters. There's just something special about a good pvc or mini figure.

Go! Go! Rescue!

White Christmas Hope

With some early Christmas gift card money, I ordered something I've really wanted last night. My first Drive Head! I've really wanted to get into these and the opportunity to get some always just out of reach. The one I wanted to get most was this sweet ambulance unit named White Hope. So, I've ordered him and his corresponding Rescue Helicopter! Going with a free shipping option, they won't get here for a few weeks, but what's a few more weeks when you've been wanting something for over a year?

An eternity.
