I am after February once I get Jet Man from Shout. I would love to add the Rider line. Thanks for the heads up on this. I want to get the Pre Zyu sets first.

How many Rider shows are there that they have?

Just V3. The company did some other popular Ishinomori shows from the time V3 was airing, though -- Kikaider, Kikaider 01 and Inazuman

https://generationkikaida.com/collections/dvd-boxset

Oh thanks for the link to the company’s website. I’m kind of tempted by the Kikaider set. For some reason I watched the Hakaider movie from the 90s a couple weeks ago. Never did see the tokusatsu. I watched the anime revival, but all I remember is the ending song.

It looks if you buy from their site, you won’t have to pay amazon’s shipping cost. Depending on where you ship it to, of course.

As someone who likes a lot of it, Kikaider is probably my favourite 70s Tokusatsu! I'd have an easy time recommending it to anyone who has trouble getting into Showa Toku for the same kind of reasons as KR Amazon; it's very consistent thematically and has interesting ongoing characterisation. It's not quite as short as Amazon mind, but hey, 43 episodes... s'alright!

Possibly the last haul of the year, I got in a huge box via the proxy site "From Japan". First time using them and I really enjoyed the ease and the layout of their site. The shipping was pretty hefty, but that was from me being overzealous with the size and weight of some of these items:

50th Anniversary Memorial Board - Part 1 of 2. I already have the second half so I'll show that off later

Shikishi Artboards - Finishing up the last couple I was missing

Gaia Memory Keychains & Gaim Rubber Coaster - The search is finally over for these two
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...2/IMG_7759.jpg

Kamen Rider Gaim Ceramic Plate - This has to be the most obscure piece of Rider merch I've ever gotten. Not gonna lie, I thought this was going to be the size of a saucer. DX Lockseed for scale
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...8/IMG_7762.jpg

With the announcement of the prop accurate Ultra Dimension Card set, I’ve decided to get that eventually and cherry pick any cards I’ll need for Ultra Combos with the Dual Sword from the DX sets. So I’m starting with Sevenger from set 01.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...5/IMG_1720.jpg

Oh, man, you got one of the binders?? Lucky, I haven't been able to find one anywhere

I was a little worried, after a recent video showed they only have 4 slots on each page (giving me space for 8 cards per page), but I’ve discovered it has 10 pages, allowing for 80 cards. Which is one less than my collection will have if I get the items I intend to get (the screen accurate card set, plus Sets 6 through 8)

Waiting on X 8 Apocalypse to come in.

Shipping In

X 9 Logan
X 10 Dark Phoenix

Shipped In

X 11 The New Mutants

Order for Five Man on December 30 from Shout Factory. After that Jet Man for the next order.

I haven't seen Logan , Dark Phoenix or The New Mutants yet. Due to watch The Wolverine as soon as I get to it. Started with X 1. X Men United and The Last Stand are next and have yet to see them. First movie is a refresher watch.

Last haul of the year! Half of these are stuff I'd had pre-ordered, the other half is presents from friends.

So first up, stuff I got myself.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Hw&oe=63AAA3A9

Marvel Legends 90s Animated Spider-Man: We finally get a figure of my favorite Spider-Man, and while it's not a terrible figure, it does leave me wanting. It's a straight repaint of the Amazing Fantasy body, which, while it is the best Spidey body the line has had to date, it's also not accurate to his Animated Series design. He should be alot more muscular if nothing else. Also, I do not care at all for the web effects, and would much rather have gripping hands. The "cel-shading" also doesn't quite match up with the sculpt. But, it's overall okay for what it is, and I'll be keeping it.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Jg&oe=63ABA4CE

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends 3-Pack: The Spider-Man is another repaint, but outside of the inaccurate Spider Logo, I think it actually overall works pretty well for this iteration of Spider-Man. The updated on Firestar is a great plus, and despite the bad shading on Iceman, I think this is the best Iceman that the line has done to date. Wish they'd used the new Vulcan body for him though.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...TA&oe=63AAD062

Custom Venom Feet by Anthony's Customs: One of my first ever figure mods, done for the ML King in Black Venom. The feet were a bit tough to get on due to the plastic being a bit hard, but once on they blend in with the sculpt of the rest of the figure almost perfectly. I also modified the neck so that Venom would look all the way up for some of his more signature poses, and I think I did pretty alright for a first time.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...qA&oe=63AB5629

Wave and Lightning effects by Can of Beams

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...oQ&oe=63AB078A

BOOM! Studios Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Kickstarter Collection: Definitely the holy grail of these items. I was a backer for the project and it did not disappoint. The presentation is awesome, and I'll be happy to revisit what I consider the best run of the comics so far. Here's to hoping they do a Complete Collection for Go Go in the near future.

And now for presents from friends of mine.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...aA&oe=63AB92F7

Masters of the Universe 40th Anniversary He-Man: I have no real attachment to the original He-Man toys, but this figure isn't bad! He's outside of my usual scale, but given that this is He-Man, I don't mind him being taller than alot of my other figures, inaccurate or not. Might have to pick up a Skeletor in the future now.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...8w&oe=63AA9F11

Mightnight Blue PS4 Controller: One of my PS4 controllers broke, so a friend was nice enough to order me a replacement.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...1g&oe=63AB701C

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Pro Controller: A friend of mine somehow ended up with a spare copy of the game, so he just let me have it. Even threw in a controller too. Very nice of him.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Jw&oe=63AAA52E

Radiant Black Volumes 1-3: I got a threatening package in the mail from some guy named "Challenger's Comics" with these in it, so I guess I have no choice but to read them in a timely manner, or else who knows what could happen! This'll be my second foray into the Massive-Verse.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...gQ&oe=63AB1056

Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord: I dunno what possessed a friend of mine to order this for me, but I guess I have my first Collector's Combiner Toy now. And yeah, despite some negative reviews you might find online this overall isn't bad. Like, yeah, it could certainly be better in a few areas, but for what it is, I do like it overall. Still, now the poison has set in, and I might need to get myself a Combiner Voltron or the ZAP Dragonzord in the future...

Those Venom feet look great, still waiting in mine! Probably won't be for a while unfortunatey, I waited till the last day to order. Was hoping the POL with that Vemon would arrive first, but unfortunately you get what you pay for with BBTS flat rate shipping

After

Got my SHF Zero-Two in from Tokullectibles. Beautiful figure, her paintwork is lovely and she moves basically just as well as Zero-One. Wish she had some pointing hands at the very least but otherwise, I'm done with my Zero-One cast.

This now fils in Star Trek and I have yet to see Afterlife. I saw Star Trek Beyond on Hulu and it was a good movie.

Decided to end year with last minute purchases
SHF KR Zero-Two
SS KR V-3

Also looking for a reasonable price on a KR Jack Revice and Black Sun AmazonJP version, and ANYONE who has access to the Zero-One/Zero-Two set I WILL buy it from you, that will round out this year’s SHF Rider figures for a few weeks until Aguillera & SS Wizard 10th Anniversary releases..

Waiting 3 days to get 5 Man from Shout Factory. I hope I have lead time to grab Jet
Man before Shout drops the next set on us be it pre or post Zyu. Deka delayed pick up
for Five Man.

With Star Trek locked in on to gettiing more newer movies on DVD in 2023.

Ah, that turned out to not be a thing. I don't know if maybe they were planning it and it got cancelled and that's why we got those leaked images, but it never materialised

Order placed for Five Man.

Jet Man on the 30th.

Here's hoping for more Pre Zyu sets after Deka.

Got the latest Zero-One Web-Exclusives in, DHL shipping ain't no joke. Also my second Don Momotaro, chest printing is much better on this one thankfully. Doesn't look like it in the box, but the chest is just not straight in there. Keep the Sentai figures coming Tamashii, they are awesome!

Having picked up Deka it's on to other US Toku sets. This will be in February after Jet Man.

I hope not!!
I thought it was going to be Asian hemisphere/HK Exclusive thing according to one of my sellers.
But you have an incredibly accurate outlook for SHF that I definitely listen to closely. I?m actually hoping that your wrong lol but my wallet is happy to hear this

Five Man being procesed by Shout.

Huh... I hadn't considered this, that would definitely explain it. The only thing like that I've heard of before is the Agito Trinity release with the really bad looking effect part; so I admit I don't know how I'd even hear about these...

I'm lining up some of the newer movies in my cart to pick up on the 30th

Bat Man / TMNT

Five Man (Shout Factory)

I had wanted to watch the Pre Zyus in order.

Star Wars DVD Update

Star Wars - The Book Of Boba Fett
Star Wars - Andor

Both got year sets so I'll update my Star Wars library in a few minutes. I own all of them dating back to the CN Clone Wars series. I finished Kenobi on DVD. Resistance can wait.

Presently I'm buying stream exclusive shows on DVD.

Disney + Marvel Series

All 6 currently active shows have now gotten year sets for Series I
on DVD.

I recently had gotten Star Trek Strange New Worlds Series I Star Trek Discovery
Series IV and Star Trek Picard Series II (Paramount +) on DVD. Also Titans Series III (HBO Max) on DVD.

So, I have TR-02 Commander of Stars and Studio Series Battletrap on preorder from BBTS, and HasLab Victory Saber arrived as well.

Turbo - A Power Rangers Movie

is an upgrade from VHS

I already owned the first movie but was able to get it in a
double pick up with Turbo. Saban's Power Rangers (2017)
now completes my Power Rangers DVD library (MMPR -
Super Ninja Steel).

I was missing Bogus Journey and Paramount TMNT.

I figured I would end 2022 with both Power Rangers and TMNT
on the big screen.

Last toys of the year:
SHF KR Black Sun AmazonJP edition
SHF KR Zero-Two
SHF KR Jack Revice
SHF SS V-3 - catches me up to all current releases.
Have every release now/arriving soon.
KR Ichigo Bust Popcorn display
Shin Ultraman Bust Popcorn display

POSSIBLY Popy/Bandai Vintage Ichigo haven’t pulled trigger yet

Police Academy and Smokey And The Bandit both had gotten all series releases.

I hadn't seen TMNT Out Of The Shadows yet.

I group ship movies to cut Shipping and Handling down to
4 bucks.

I hope I can get to Dollar General and grab Top Gun II Maverick today

Now I need to see what other movies I'm missing in February.
