I see it is once upon me to kick this party off.

Therefore, I present to you my collection of recently acquired Cinema.

Playing a lot of catch up, but finally starting to collect in earnest again!



Highly recommend the SHFUpgrade head for Faiz, but especially the LED heads for Kabuto & Kabuto Hyper, because the sculpts are impeccable, and honestly a much needed improvement on the official releases. The waist parts are also superb and give them proportions much more in line with recent Seihous.

Happy to say the Hibiki waist replacement is equally, if not more, impressive. The colour matching is so close to perfect it's insane and only looks the tiniest, tiniest smidge darker in certain light at specific angles. The way it gradients from purple to blue in the same manner at the official 10th Anniversary version's paint is wild, and as it's using the sculpt from Armed Hibiki there is no longer an odd height discrepancy between the two.



The Tamashii Store Kuuga is the best version of Kuuga Mighty. Crazy how this sculpt still holds up so well, despite the advancements present in more modern Seihous, but the slightly different texture and more matte finishes really help it match the on-screen suit.
Ryuki is as great as you'd think, same for Armed Hibiki, Xross Saber and Zeztz - just quality releases all around.



These new Ichigou and Niigou releases are solid. Fabric scarves are always nice, and the way they've done the duller, more dust and mud-stained chests really do lend to the way they looked in the 70's from the show. (Now just make an 'Old' or 'Original Colour' Niigou and let these poor boys rest, Bandai)
X is awesome and comes with so many good accessories. Stronger is exactly what you'd imagine, in the most complimentary way, and does everything they could realistically do with one of the most awkward suits for upper body poseability.

I've still got a ton of stuff to get from the last few years, but hope they keep coming out with more of these beautiful bastards (Decade Complete 21, Bandai. Please release it. Stop laughing, I'm serious.)

The Hibiki Seihous are figures that I really wish I had the extra space for, as it's a show whose first half I really love and the figures always look beautiful in photos.

I’ve got three things due this month, and two have arrived.

[DreamSword]

First haul of the year!



Infernal Girl Red Book 2: This is still my favorite series in the Massive-Verse, and I don't think there's much of a contest at this point.



Power Rangers Eternal Rangers: The final expansion to the PR board game. The box is surprisingly big.



Effect Parts: Fire and lightning effects by Can of Beams that are in no way inspired by anything specific.



TMNT Ultimates! Wave 2: Just like with Wave 1, these figures are very much in the "good enough" territory for me. I wouldn't blame anyone who thinks they aren't worth the price, though.



Valaverse Praetorian Pyre and Wraith: Neat little variants. Not a fan of how the Wraith is packed like I bought someone's' loose figure off of eBay though. Should've come with its own collector packaging.



Ruby Spears Megaman Cartoon: The show isn't "good" by any means, but I do have a soft spot for it.



Acrylic Logo Stands: Really hoping that Dragon Ball Classic gets reissued at some point.



SHF Shallot & Giblet: While I do agree with the community that these figures are overpriced, I don't agree that they are out and out horrid. The line as seen much worse, and in recent times at that. These two figures work for what they are.



Recustom Lost Heroic Soul: A Super Saiyan headset for Bardock. With the announcement of the battle damaged Bardock figure, I decided to convert my old Bardock figure into a SS1 variant. And man, these headsets are really well done. Not only do they look great, but you have options to have or remove the headband, and the added hand accessories for holding the headband are a great touch. Highly recommend this set if you can find it.



SHF UIS Goku: I've been rocking the Demoniacal Fit version for awhile now, but with the official release of the 4.0 Goku body, and my immediate disappointment in it, I decided I'll have the DF figure be my Blue Goku and this will now stand as my Sign variant.

Got the first of a few preorders I’ve made for the next three months in.
