Rad Toy Review is all about taking high quality photos and writing in-depth, non-biased reviews of hand selected toys by some of the best (and our favorite) toy creators out there. The downside to our site’s focus on reviewing toys (as opposed to constantly reporting about toys) is that there will be times where there are lulls between our posts as we wait for new items to come in. To help ease the pain that comes with waiting, we also bring you some other great regular features that we hope you enjoy. We have The Workshop which features an ever growing wide array of top notch tips and tutorials from some of the most talented toy customizers out there. We have Wednesday’s Wallpaper of the Week which comes courtesy of some truly fantastic toy photographers who we bribe with big toothy smiles for an awesome image each week, just for you. We have our new comic strip series, “Pew Pew,” which is mostly silly stuff from a silly guy. We also recently started our new Rad Toy Review Youtube channel with which we’re working on some some cool ideas that you should start seeing pop up soon!

We hope you’ll check back often. The easiest way to stay updated is by following us here, on Twitter, or liking us on Facebook. You’ll be automatically notified every time a new review or feature goes live.

As for the reviews, here are just a few things coming up really soon!

– Kotobukiya’s Zone of Enders model kit review!

– Play Arts Kai’s Metal Gear Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja reviews!

– 3A’s Adventure Kartel Jungle Vet Ankou and WWR EMGY Caesar reviews!

and more!

Also don’t forget about our Facebook contest. We’re having to rethink our original idea but will publish an update with new info once we finalize our plans! Hey, we have to wing some of this stuff!

more to come… 🙂

3AA Details revealed

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Knives

You can see the whole thing here if you like..

The highlights for those with lazy fingers… and I quote.

3AA 2012 goes onsale 13th Jan at 9-00am, the sale will last 24 hours and the opportunity to join 3AA will not come around till the same time next year!

3AA 2012 costs $180USD, the member pack consists of 15% discount to any product purchased directly from 3A via Bambaland or conventions etc for the period of 12 months ( under the account name the 3AA 2012 was purchased ), 3AA messenger bag, 3AA baseball cap ( regular size ), membership card and the exclusive Adventure Kartel 1/6th figure F-LEGION.

Zang! $180 is higher than last year, which was $150. But come on! That price isn’t too shabby for an awesome looking 1/6 fig, swaggah and a year of 15% off bamba purchases! Plus if you’re already in 3AA, you even get 15% off the price of renewing your membership.. $153. Boom!Practically the price of last years.

One thing I noticed was in the detailed info about the difference between 3AA and standard sales. 3AA exclusive figs have been a thing for awhile, as have time guarantee’s for3AA members. But a new additions this time around is the passing mention of Ashley Wood 1:1 editions. Does this mean only members will have access to the (much) larger scale releases Ash has been teasing everyone with the past year? And will 15% off a $3000 (blind est.) toy really make enough price difference for anyone san and normal to afford it? :
