Stop Motion Animation From Japan Features Strike Witches and Busou Shinki Action Figures

This fan-made, stop motion animation video from Japan, has it all. Action, comedy, explosions, and even a damsel in distress. The huge cast includes Gundam warriors, Busou Shinki, Strike Witches and others.

All Busou Shinki action figures have a Multi Moveable System (MMS), which allows for easy manipulation and poseability. The body parts are also interchangeable with the parts of other Busou Shinki action figures, and can be customized without using the usage of any tools.

Watch the video after the jump.

The Japanese Spider-Man and El Mariachi – Funny Retro Clip

More retro movie madness. This is one of the awesomest clips, I have ever been able to lay my eyes upon.

Forget about the news of Tony Stark (Iron Man) making a guest appearance in the upcoming Hulk Movie. Now imagine, Spider-man, El Mariachi, and a Mecha/Gundam robot, all coming together in a movie. That would rock. Unfortunately, it would be close to impossible for Hollywood studios to get all these characters from different genres into a single movie. Imagine the endless, bitter negotiations, rights acquisitions and piles of paperwork. But the good folks in Japan (bless their big hearts) have already done it. Obviously, they didn’t bother to get the rights for these famous characters, but who really gave a heck those days.

The last scene in the clip, takes the film to a different level. El Mariachi drives away with his ~~lover~~ son, leaving a forlorn Spider-man to wonder at what might have been. Wow ! A Brokeback Mountain story arc, too ?
