Recent Purchases January 2020 Edition
Ringing in the new year with some new gets! Show off what you got for the month.
|
First thing I bought in the new year was not toku related surprisingly. My friend brought over his new Oculus Go VR system New Year's Eve and I tried it out and enjoyed it. So I bought one for myself. It should arrive by the 9th. I can't wait.
|
Picked up a copy of Fallen Order at the tail end of last year and I've been enjoying the hell out of it:

I really like it. The core bot is well poseable and fun to play with. The combined mode is very large and acceptably poseable, and rather fantastic looking. I often have the combined mode squaring off against FH Double Evil.
I like it enough I have considered the thunderclash version, but talked myself out of it when I thought I was only going to have one copy of the mold - then some terrible(ly talented) people posted some amazing pics of the black version and I had to go pick it up, and the black version is just gorgeous, great combo of black with silver and (red for truck mode, purple for bot mode) accents. I have both the black and the optimus prime deco, and am happy with both, though I think the black deco is a little better looking, so much so that I have the Black God Armor set on the way, and I might just skip the red/blue version. I look forward to you posting some pics of Thunderclash. |
Yeah, I'm not usually much in the way of 3P Masterpiece figs. (3P IDW stuff from MMC, and G1-styled Legends figures from New Age or Magic Square, those are all my jam.) People have been raving about those Fans Hobby figures for a minute, but they're just not my usual collecting aesthetic. But I love how unique and garish Thunderclash looks, and there're so few Thunderclash figures to be had, that I made an exception to get a great big Masterpiece-ish version of Thunderclash. I'm glad to know he's worth the money, at least for the transformation and posing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm nothing special when it comes to photos, but I'll try and post a pic or two when he shows up in the next few weeks. |
December stuff came in. I'm getting dangerously close to falling into the more expensive side of robot toy collecting rabbit hole but I don’t feel like stopping either.
Also, I never really meant to get Renewal Black & Black RX but Showa Shinkocchou Seihou is kinda dead at the moment and these were dirt cheap. Plus, my actual first figma I bought for myself. Didn’t think it would be this one, especially since the Samus reissue is coming up. But I didn't expect to like the game as much as I thought I would either so... https://i.imgur.com/aZwxeFz.jpg |

Oof, that Hot Shot toy. It's not bad by any means, but considering Hot Shot is my favorite Transformer, I really wish he wasn't just a subpar remold. Especially since Hot Shot hasn't had a toy in forever.

The order with my HLJ Black Friday Kamen Rider bag arrived. Got a mix of stuff. Only one thing I already have, So-Do Build DoctorGamer, everything else is new. Just wish so much of it wasn't Ex-Aid. I've heard good things about the story, but I can't imagine ever liking the Ex-Aid suits.
https://66.media.tumblr.com/4f987233...0c411006a8.jpg Also got this wonderful little Kamata-kun keychain! https://66.media.tumblr.com/660d8c80...c9c219c27e.jpg |

Question for you, though. How are those So-Do figs? Is it a lot of difficult-to-place stickers, or mostly molded plastic? Is the production quality solid? Does it fall apart at all? |
My first McFarlane figure
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EOaiKKIXUAAN00k?format=jpg Not bad for what is essentially DC Marvel Legends. Wouldn't be opposed to getting a CW Flash when it eventually gets made. |
Got a box of BBTS, with their exclusive version of MK Sektor figure with a flamethrower accessory.

There's also So-Do Chronicle, which covers various past Riders. They've done 4 waves for W, 3 for Den-O, 3 for OOO and 1 for Kuuga. These tend to be pretty paint heavy too, though more expensive, with some waves being P-Bandai exclusive

Still not sure what the pegs on the backs of the heads are for. |

I guess maybe I'll keep an eye out at C2E2 in Chicago next month, see if anyone brings any to just grab one, and maybe check eBay once in a while. I don't know. I'm curious, but the more obstacles get put up, the less curious I am. Thanks again! |
Yeah, picking up just one is kind of a hurdle (especially since most are split into two boxes, body and armour) but I got mine all at once, though if you’re ever getting anything else from Mandarake then you could always throw one in. (They usually sell the full figures or sets on Mandarake rather than single boxes)
|
I was lucky enough for a seller in my country to give me a couple for £6 (Shinobi and Hattari), and I’ve gotta say they’re brilliant. I don’t mind the stickering at all and I feel like if I think a design is cool, I could happily default to these over SHFs any day.

I hope those bad decisions aren't also my bad decisions. |

I've temporarily dodged a major financial bullet, thanks to Fredbob392 being an awesome board member, as well as my experiencing an uncharacteristic bout of financial responsibility. (Don't worry, it'll pass.) I decided to hold off briefly on buying so many cheap toys it becomes expensive, at least until I actually get to try one out and see if I like it. ... Except, okay, just between us? There's a box of 4 So-Do figures that one of the Mandarake stores has, it's a Build one with Genius, Evol, Mad Rogue, and another Build form, it's like $28, and I'm really thinking about it. That Genius form is so good. Thing is, I've never ordered from Mandarake before, and I've got no idea how big a box of 8 So-Do packages is, so I've got no clue what shipping's going to run. Mandarake doesn't give an estimate, and they want me to pick a shipping service when I checkout. So, two questions. First, what am I going to be paying to get that box shipped to Chicago, ball park? Second, can I switch my shipping choice if Mandarake comes in super high with a quote? Sorry to, uh, completely derail this thread. I promise to take pictures of these guys if/when I get them! |

FWIW, though, I ordered 17 boxes from one store plus SHF Black RX, and it was only 2180y for EMS shipping. And that's to Canada, so I assume SAL would easily be half that to the US. As for switching shipping, Mandarake mentions options in their FAQ: https://earth.mandarake.co.jp/help/s...ptions-en.html You can ask for estimations in the comment box when ordering, or ask to have it switched after ordering before you pay.
