Trigun Badlands Rumble Blu Ray is Available on Amazon

After waiting a long time to see Vash the Stampede back in action, now he comes in an anime movie titled Trigun Badlands Rumble. Last time he was seen in the anime is thirteen years ago, when Trigun television anime series become very popular anime series at that time.
Thirteen years is a long time for Trigun fans to wait Trigun Badlands Rumble be made but because of that will make a sense of nostalgia for the audience who watch Trigun Badlands Rumble. Vash the Stampede is a superhero to someone when he was a child and Vash the Stampede is still to be a super hero when the child was growing up.


Plot Summary:  Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, refuses to believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby (far from a notorious outlaw). But there is more to Vash and his past than meets the eye. (ANN)


Now Trigun Badlands Rumble Blu Ray is available on Amazon and you can pre order from Amazon because Trigun Badlands Rumble Blu Ray will release on September 27, 2011.

TOYSREVIL's Top Ten Lists for San Diego Comic Con 2011

I reckon I was partially deliberately-delusional when I worked up these Top Ten Lists for San Diego Comic-Con, with the simple self-given premise that "What I Would Buy If I Had The Toy-Money To At SDCC?" and the caveat that each list would comprise one one toy per designer per brand listed per list.
