Not something I could do myself really but it does sound really good! |
Got a free Eyecon packed in from a Kotetsu Toys Japan order once. Between the feeling of pressing the button and the clicky noise it makes, It turns out to be a pretty good stim toy

(I do think it's hilarious how glaringly squished the stunt versions the suit actors wear in the show are though. I remember Drive being that way too, but it's just really amusing to imagine the people making the show immediately realizing "yeaaah, this isn't going to work as is.") :lol Anyways, please excuse me for jumping to the defense of Ghost so shamelessly and predictably before thinking to say congrats on keeping that sweet collection of OOO items coming along. It's looking pretty good! |

But the Ghost Driver... I do like the physicality of that lever, but I really can't get over the bulkiness-for-little-payoff. I tend towards liking more streamlined belts in general (Decade, Den-O, OOO, Kuuga, Black), so I do always view excessive bulkiness as an inherent flaw that must be justified with something interesting that you probably wouldn't be able to do or do as well without it, and the Ghost Driver just doesn't do that for me. I actually end up liking the Eyecon Driver G more because of it! Stuff like the Gamer Driver as well is also so inherently silly and tacky that the extra bulkiness just embraces that, while the Ghost Driver never felt like something that went for that. I also didn't know that the in-show belt prop was squished, so maybe that just furthers my point :p |

Saying you prefer the Eyecon Driver over the Ghost Driver was a smart move, by the way, because now I just want to gush about how cool that thing is too? Like, it's seriously the most genius ideas they ever had for one of the obligatory over-sized power-up items. The Ghost Driver's enclosed design kinda demands a standardized shape compared to something like the Build Driver, for example, so instead they just made one of the collectible items so big it IS a Driver, all by itself. Even the main button is just the normal Eyecon button right where it always it. Every year that goes by, I appreciate it more and more. |
Kamen Rider Buster's floppy sword is at the top of my list for Props Toei hoped we wouldn't notice.

So uh, does anyone have advice for when FedEx says your very expensive package is delivered but it is actually nowhere to be found?

AAAAAAAAAAAA! He's here! He looks very good. The silver, the blue, and the red is good as well, somewhat the same kind of red as Saber's but less glossy.
Of course, he doesn't come with much but I did buy some effect parts recently and they do very well in me pretending they're the Z sluggers! The summer heat didn't do him justice, though haha. The paint was a bit sticky out of the box and I kind of smudged his back. Also, his head movement is weird, probably just the design. I still love him, though. Can't wait for his Original form. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E14X0SGV...name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E14XzfvV...name=4096x4096 |
I've been so excited for this since I clicked buy, and he did not disappoint -- just the one day after my Gaia Memory I only have the original SHF of goddamn Kamen Rider and the Cyclone come in!! I really wanted to at least get this guy for the 50th anniversary and I've been having a bunch of fun with watching the original show so this is pretty special to me already. I've already taken him out and taken a bunch of pictures and he looks better than I could ever have imagined :D

Met with a friend now that we were fully vaccinated and all and we had gotten each other Christmas presents that we weren't able to exchange until yesterday. Got them Figuarts Kamen Rider Brain and they got me Bujin Gaim. He was the last Gaim character I didn't have in Figuarts form so I'm super happy to have that cast complete. |

Time for my monthly haul! We start with something I didn't actually buy!
https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...23&oe=60D45BC5 Bring Arts Marvel Universe Variant Spider-Man: A buddy of mine got this for me as a late birthday present and managed to find it for half the normal asking price. Even then, I feel like he paid too much. Don't get me wrong, the figure isn't out and out horrible, but it has too many issues for me to say it's worth $70, let alone the absurd default price of $140. The paint is sloppy in a few spots, the wait and hip joints are loose, the ankle tilt is basically non-existant, and he barely comes with any accessories. I love the design, but as an expensive action figure, it falls short. Do not pay any higher than $70 for it, and even then try to get it for even cheaper if possible. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...08&oe=60D51051 Bring Arts Teen Nier & Emil 2-Pack: What with the Nier remake now being out, I figured it was high time I got this. And of course, it being Bring Arts, my Nier was defective. Like, people complain about the QC on MAFEX figures, but I've had way better luck with them than with Bring Arts. Still, the figures themselves are pretty solidly pulled off, and I hope we get a Daddy Nier figure someday, as I love that version of the character. Speaking of which... https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...57&oe=60D2D59E NieR Remake: Really wish Daddy Nier had been the default, but this remake is rather good and I am overall happy with it. NieR is my favorite game by Cavia and my favorite entry in the Drakkengard/NieR universe, so I'm more than happy to own this. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...19&oe=60D35A5F SHF Raditz: Now I just need Tamashii to make a Gine figure and I'll have the whole family! So sad Raditz didn't make it into DBFZ. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...92&oe=60D1A472 Zamasu Energy Blades: For my SHF Zamasu and Fused Zamasu, made by customizer RoshiIsland. Rather well done, and glad to have what should've been included with both figures in the first place. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e8&oe=60D1FCDD Roxas T-Shirt: Because while I might have stopped liking the KH series once KHII came out, Roxas is still a great character that I love. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...d8&oe=60D2840C NECA 90s Movie TMNT Accessory Pack: The box for this was way bigger than what I expected it to be, but still, happy to have bonus accessories for what I consider the best TMNT figures to date. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e9&oe=60D2FD3A FEARLESS: Shout out to Die for making me aware of this graphic novel. It was a rather cute story that talks not just about growing up, but has some fun meta commentary on fandoms as well. The thing I was the most happy about was its ending, as I was so afraid that it was gonna go a route I most certainly would not have liked, but then it didn't and everything was fine. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...ee&oe=60D4BEA2 s-CRY-ed on blu-ray: One of my favorite anime of all time and it has never looked better! Unfortunately, this set has less bonus features than what the Anime Legends DVD set does. As such, I'll be keeping both. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...81&oe=60D16220 Figma Plus SEGA Consoles: Now all of my figma figures can beat eachother up in Virtua Fighter! |
I forgot, but I bought a Figma Suzuya Kai II about a week or so. Not actually 2 weeks, lol. Why? I don't know, she was cute, and it didn't cost me much since it someone unloading their collection.

That's a lot of Blueshirts.
Combined mail haul for the week: https://i.imgur.com/B55WOt7.jpg I finally got me a Bernie Zack! Unfortunately the Zeke weapons set is really disappointing. The booster backpack only works with the regular Zaku I/II and direct variations thereof, so I can't slap it on the Zaku II Kai, Kampfer, Gelgoog Jaeger, or even the friggin' Gouf. |
I see you bought yourself a pile of hamburger.

My quest to be the biggest dork in a 50 mile radius continues.
https://i.imgur.com/DMRstOq.jpg I tried to dress up in suitably villainous attire for this, but rather than looking like Yodonna, I feel I look more like Nai to Mea's awkward third sister. https://i.imgur.com/5DvqIvV.jpg |

Very villainous indeed! You are one oversized scythe away from being the miniboss of a video game.

Imagine just going for a nice calm jog and you see someone trying to summon the power of calamitous thinking on the sidelines, don't blame them for getting away really :p
Meanwhile, I bought a couple of things I didn't need! https://scontent-lhr8-1.xx.fbcdn.net...eb&oe=60D97E81 - The Reconnaissance Dalek from Resolution, probably a week or so before they announce the black redeco coming soon to B&M - Romana II in her costume from "The Horns of Nimon", aka the greatest Fourth Doctor episode. |
