Open up Monday and see what's Inside!

It's Monday Zone Base readers and time to get this week started. My weekend went by much to fast and I've been spending this rainy morning napping as a result. The Mrs and I didn't do too much this weekend, but did get some shopping done and celebrated my brother's birthday by eating dinner with the family. I spent some quality time with my Switch and discovered Microsoft Treasure Hunt on my laptop. What a fun little game! Toy pick ups were light, though the Mrs did pick up a few more for my upcoming birthday that I have to forget I saw. For Transformers, I got Earthspark Deluxe Optimus Prime and Flipchanger Breakdown. I only need the Deluxe Starscream to have that size class completed (so far) and I definitely have the Flipchanger class completed (so far). Earthspark has another season coming and I'm looking forward to it. The show is now airing in Japan and I hope to see whatever supplemental material they come up for it. To me, it's perfect for a Transformers Adventures style line. 

My Mom also suprised me with another Rescue Bots Optimus Primal. I already have it, but think my desk at work could use one. I know the current 'kiddy' TF line isn't called Rescue Bots anymore... but it's what I think when I see them. Mom also got me a King Kong she had picked up from a thrift store. It's a neat large figure from the Godzilla vs Kong line that I don't have. Speaking of Godzilla and Kong, I grabbed another blind box and got another Skar King. Dammit. I found the Masterverse Pig-Head on clearance for $10, so not bad for a weekly MOTU fix. Not to be outdone, I also got a cool Godzilla t shirt. Lastly I picked up a Bikkuriman from a local candy shop. They didn't have any Angels vs Demons packs, but did have the JuJutsu Kaisen ones. Not sure who the character on the sticker is (I haven't watched the show yet), but appreciate the local availability. Well, I suppose it's time to get the week started. Thank you for reading Zone Base. I have a fun week planned, don't forget to share the site with your friends. Mutal high fives everyone!

Transform Squadron 43- Happy Lucky Beast Wars

LISTEN NOW!

Rise of the Beasts/Beast Wars have promotions. Earth Day got a Godzilla marathon, this month got a Transform Squadron.

Fortress of Necros

 

Nekurosu No Yousai was a very neat keshi line by Lotte sold in the late 80's and early 90's. Translated into English, the name of the line is technically Necros Fortress, but often called Neclos Fortress. Neclos is printed on the lines cards as l and r are often confused in translation. Necros/Neclos being the main villain character. Each figure would come in a box with a card and piece of chocolate. Readers know this is the exact kind of thing I go crazy for.

The line was a fantasy based with cool monsters and warriors intended to be used in a rpg game. The cards would be used for the figures stats as well as items and spells. There was a total of 320 figures released in 8 parts. The figures were in multiple colors and would often come in color change or metallic plastic depending on the release. Some with plastic jewels. I can see a fun evening spent with these. If you noticed that they resemble Monsters in my Pocket, you're not alone. It's only natural for keshi lines to look alike, especially ones based on monsters. Necros Fortress and Monsters in my Pocket do share a lot of the same monsters. Both even have video games. NES for one, PC Engine the other. A crossover would have been perfect.

Unfortunately, Necros Fortress figures are not easy to get. The line was exclusive to Japan in a per-internet time. Candy toys are no problem now, but the older ones can be a challenge. I don't have any myself but can still enjoy them through various pictures on the internet. They have great sculpts and I like the variety of monsters. I love the art. It's exactly the style and era that's a steady favorite of mine. I'm pretty jealous of those who got to experience them first hand. I could see myself in a local convenience store buying these up.

Robocop loves fried chicken

Robocop is fucking awesome. This is a fact, there's no arguing that. Water is wet, green means go, Robocop is fucking awesome. I've never had Lotte ham fried chicken before, and honestly I didn't need Robocop to make me want some. That sounds amazing and next time I'm at H-Mart I'm gonna try to get some. Though, having Robocop sell me ham fried chicken by Lotte? Simply amazing, I'm there. Man... there's literally NOTHING that dude can't sling.
