Got some new stuff in, but no pictures yet :P
Memorial Geartlinger, HasLab Omega Prime, and some SHF smoke effect parts! |
Got myself a sword in for toy hacking purposes. The problem is, the hacker I bought is the wrong size.

May acquisitions :
Jada Toys Tony the Tiger https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...74&height=1426 A figure that I've been waiting for, and it turned out ggrreeeaatt. Between this release, Chester Cheetah, SF, and the upcoming Scooby line, Jada is setting itself up to be a big player Star Wars Vintage Collection: The Journey of Anakin Skywalker set https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...60&height=1218 Great set, even if one figure is more or less a repack. The ROTS Anakin looks fantastic, although I wish the hair was painted darker. Not quite film accurate https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...36&height=1218 Marvel Legends Spider-Man 3 Black Suit https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...14&height=1426 Pretty good figure. Sometimes I expect more from ML, but maybe I've been spoiled by these import figures. The masked head is still that horrendous release from before, so I'll have to get a custom one in the future. Who knows when Mafex or SHF will get to this costume, so this will have to do for now |
You know Jada is killing it when alot of people are unironically considering a Tony the Tiger figure one of the best figures of the year.

New pickups for May!
https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Sw&oe=68411137 Super7 2003 TMNT: While I'm not too fond of how they did the knee joints, I am overall happy with finally having figures of my favorite entry in the TMNT franchise. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...sQ&oe=68410C5E New Can of Beams Effects: Spiral, Power, and Magic effects that all look great! https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n..._Q&oe=68411D3F SHF Crimson Moon Garo: I now own all of the GARO figures that I care about. I still hold out hope for more Seihous in the future. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...UA&oe=6841390C Force of Chaos: A YA Power Rangers novel that casts Trini as the main protagonist of Mighty Morphin', and unless you're keen on a story that turns the Yellow Ranger into a Mary Sue that literally every aspect of the story hinges on, I would not recommend it. It most certainly wasn't for me. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...9A&oe=68413B6F Tamashii Nations Store Kuuga: Got this thanks to fellow user velencourte! I feel the forehead gem is too dark, but otherwise it is an overall upgrade from the other SKC Kuugas, and I love it. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...HA&oe=684120EC https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Ug&oe=68412D4B Heroes of the Grid Expansions: They were on sale, so I figure I might as well expand the board game as much as I could since I own it now. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...kw&oe=68410D8C SKC OOO Super Tatoba: I was surprised as just how cheap this figure was on the aftermarket for such a long time, that I eventually caved and nabbed one. I overall like this suit alot better as a toy than as an actual suit. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...LQ&oe=684131FC Transformers Age of the Primes Armada Red Alert: This was actually a gift from a friend of mine. So now I have all three of the original Autobot trio from Armada. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...SQ&oe=68411379 Capcom Fighting Collection 2: Capcom has been absolutely killing it with these collections over the past few years, and I hope there are only more high quality collections like these to come. |
Just so this forum hasn’t gone a month with zero activity in this thread, I’m doing everything at once since I ordered these things pretty close to each other from different sellers.
First up is the Metal Hero Key for Redder from Tokusou Exceedraft, with bonus Buffa Beast Ring. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GuOYSMHX...jpg&name=large Next up is Sentai Gear set GP06, which gives me the 4 Gears I was missing the sounds for (JAKQ, Goggle V, Changeman and Gekiranger), plus some bonuses (Dynaman, Fiveman and a sparkly Twokaizer Gear I might give away) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GuOYSMHW...jpg&name=large Finally, some more stuff for the mains from Gozyuger, with the Leon Buster 50 and the Sentai Ring Set: GozyuEagle and GozyuUnicorn. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GuOYSMGW...jpg&name=large |
My Pride Month was filled with Power Rangers. And a few extra bits.
https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...SA&oe=686750B8 Death Come True: An FMV game that plays out like an interactive movie. While I didn't care for one certain choice the story made, I did enjoy it as a murder mystery movie all the same. I'd recommend checking it out. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Zw&oe=68672E8F Valaverse Praetorian Wraith: The latest color variant of the Praetorian Troopers. I've already noted how much I like this design, so I intend to keep picking up any variants I can. I wish its secondary color was something other than Red though. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...tw&oe=6867326C Lefma SSB Kaioken Goku Head Set: I wanted my SSB and Blue Kaioken Goku figures to have different hairstyles, and I ended up finding this 3rd Party set by Lefma. And man, this thing majorly impressed me. The skin tone matches the original figure perfectly, and hair sculpt is very detailed and very pretty with the translucent blue plastic, and the faces are even better than the official ones. Will be displaying the figure with this custom kit from now on for sure. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...YQ&oe=68674B98 Rita's Rewind Physical Edition: Look, I like this game. So when a physical version was announced, I opted for it. I went with the Switch version specifically for playing the game on the go with friends. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...HA&oe=68675526 https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...TQ&oe=68674526 Heroes of the Grid Expansions: These are the last of the two "big" expansions that I needed to get(with one exception). From here on out it'll be a gradual scale down in terms of extra bits. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...bw&oe=68673EC4 Lightning Collection Spirit Ranger 2-Pack: Picked up at RangerStop. I missed out on this one back when it first came out, so I grabbed it now. Unless I suddenly find a Dino Thunder White figure out of nowhere, my LC Collection is now complete. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...KQ&oe=68674DA1 RangerStop Merch: I didn't buy much in terms of merch at the con, but that Black Ranger pin and the 3D Spawn Card? Called my name on sight. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...8Q&oe=68673EBC https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...fw&oe=68675035 Lucky Cat Megazord: Surprisingly fun 3rd Party takes on the Dino Megazord. The regular release is a reissue, while the Black variant of it was a gift from a friend of mine. I now await their version of the Dragonzord. |
June hauls:
LEGO TARDIS https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...54&height=1218 Having never owned any real Doctor Who merch, I took it a step further by going for the brick version. This is actually the design from an Ideas set released years ago that I modified on BrickLink Studio. All the parts I also sourced from BrickLink. A very fun and satisfying build From Japan Haul https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...36&height=1254 Most items from this month I acquired from the proxy site From Japan: - The shikishi art Gavv was frustratingly hard to find but this was the design I liked the most - Rider 1 Gochizos for my Rider 1 display, and SG Chocold for a custom - So-Do Geats Boost Fever for another custom - Gashapon dog figurine Other highlights include: Shodo Super Kyoryuger 3 https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...36&height=1336 The Kyoryuger designs are some of my favorite in Sentai, and I'm really glad all of the individual suits were done in this series https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...28&height=1168 Takara Tomy Jedi Interceptor https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...04&height=1218 These were released as gasha toys, but came out incredibly well done. The scene were these ships are prominently featured is one of my favorites of the entire saga, so these were an instant purchase |
I finally have something to store my Sentai Rings, with room for 5-11 more (The box says it can store 20, but I’m not sure whether that’s overall, or Conley counting the loose ring section.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvBFePNW...jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvHSYOLW...jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvBFePOW...jpg&name=large And it comes with this variant of the Gozyuger Ring, depicting GozyuWolf, GozyuPolar, TegaSword Red, GuudeBang and TegaSword White Burn. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvBFePJW...jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GvBFePQX...jpg&name=large |
Alot of superheroing going on this July, huh?
https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Ww&oe=68872115 MAFEX No Way Home Tobey Spider-Man: Not perfect, but by far the best figure we've gotten of this Spider-Man to date. Really love this figure. Almost as much as... https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...qA&oe=68872AD3 MAFEX Spider-Man 2099: Over the years, Miguel has become one of my all time favorite Spider-Men, and this figure does a great job at capturing his stylized proportions he had in the original 1992 run of the comics. Like Tobey, he's not perfect, but definitely my personal favorite MAFEX figure to date. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...rQ&oe=6887102E Ultraman - Along Came a Spider-Man Vol. 1: Wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but it's a very strong start to the story and I eagerly await volume 2 of this very fitting isekai/crossover. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Wg&oe=6887280E https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Aw&oe=68871AA4 PR Board Game Smaller Expansions: Now that the big box expansions are out of the way, it's time to work my way down. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...aw&oe=68870CFA Super X Black Ranger Hoodie: I know taking a photo of the hoodie itself would've made more sense, but I just really like how they package these, okay? https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...0w&oe=68872BE2 Robot Spirits Grendizer U: Nin-Nin-Game halved the price of this guy for their summer sale, so I went ahead and nabbed it. Grendizer U was a show that I got more enjoyment out of then I thought I would, and I really hope it gets a second season. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Xw&oe=688704ED Discotek Kamen Rider X Blu-Ray: I've said before and I'll keep saying it. If Discotek is gonna be the way we officially get (almost) all of Showa KR in English, then I am all for it. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...rg&oe=68870FFA Mythic Legions Stavros: The proportions on this guy are a little weird, but outside of that it's a very pretty figure. Might just display it as a generic Dragon Man, personally. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...sw&oe=688707D1 SHF Daima SS1 Goku: The figure that broke alot of SHF Dragon Ball collectors, and to be honest, I still don't really get why. Most of the complaints I've read are about stuff that Tamashii has done many times before with previous figures, and worse at that. For what the figure in itself is, it's rather well done, and I'm happy to have it. Really hope they do SS2 in the future. Or that a 3rd Party makes a hair sculpt atleast. |
Didn't have as much time to open things and take better pics, but July had some great hauls
Hasbro Star Wars Vintage Collection Mix of past releases and new figures. The new figures from this month are excellent and there's plenty of figures to look forward to the remainder of the year https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...92&height=1426 https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...92&height=1426 S.H. Figuartarts https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...90&height=1218 Kamen Rider Valen - Another fantastic Rider figure. The finish on the "chocolate" sections is done gorgeously, you almost want to break a section off and have a bite! Peter B. Parker & Mayday - I don't have many of the Spider-Verse figures, but I was sold on the inclusion of Mayday. There are several option parts packed in to make a great variety of displays. And if anything, the base Spidey figure looks fantastic Mini Goku - Admittedly, I'm not a huge Dragon Ball fan. But the price was really inexpensive so I thought why not. Its a great little figure and will make for a fun toy to fiddle around with on my desk Shokugan Modeling Project MagiKing https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...70&height=1426 Another great SMP. Fun build and as always I'm blown away how these kits retain the features of the original DX toys (even if I never owned this particular mecha as a kid). The 2000s Sentai seasons gave us great robots, I'm glad to see the brand continue to focus on this era Inart - The Dark Knight Batman https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...70&height=1426 This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and it delivered. Fantastic likeness and attention to detail. Inart may be a quiet #2 in the 1/6 game, but this should be a huge splash in the 1/12 market. I do have some nitpicks, but this is a strong first impression for their first release in this scale https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...70&height=1426 |
Some neat stuff in that haul there!
My big issue with the Peter B. figure there is that I feel like he's way too tall. He works great as a 1/10th scale figure, but 1/12th? Not so much. And man, Inart. I've seen the reviews on that Batman and he's beautiful. I am very much awaiting their release of The Destined One from Black Myth Wukong. That figure looks gorgeous! |
I wonder if the first Miles and Gwen figures had to be sized up because they're shorter/thinner characters; and that lead to the whole scale being off because the adult characters are so much taller. Regardless, I don't mind. The figure is objectively very well made and like I mentioned, the extra option parts are excellent
Unrelated, by why can't I see my pictures on my write up days after posting it?? |

Stupid Huge Suruga-Ya haul.

Multi-haul day!
https://i.postimg.cc/G3Y0SCDL/image.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/d1bbtWbc/image.jpg Vintage Sailor Moon cards came from a friend on Discord, Big Pile-O-Hobby stuff from Newtype, Tales of Symphonia Remastered via Amazon. |
Brought in my haul for August a little early.
https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...sg&oe=68A45354 Nendoroid Shovel Knight: I thought I'd long since missed out on this guy, but to my surprise I recently found one for its original price. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Gg&oe=68A4592E JADA Toys Mettaur 6-Pack: It's just a set of fun little guys. Love the packaging. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...-A&oe=68A451BA Valaverse Praetorian Fury: I wish the primary color were something different since a Green Praetorian already exists, but even so, I like how this one came out. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...eQ&oe=68A43D7B https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...lQ&oe=68A45D89 Heroes of the Grid Minions Packs: I always try to show some love towards the mooks of Toku shows, and Power Rangers is no different. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...KQ&oe=68A43873 SKC Garo V2: I have mixed feelings on this one. I get that the idea is to make it look like he's using Blazing Armament, but in exchange you lose the beautiful chrome gold paint job that the original figure had. And we don't even get a fire accessory to put on the sword. I might commission someone to repaint this into Jaaku. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...sA&oe=68A468AE Storm Arena Ken: The hype is real. This figure really is as good as most people say it is; especially for its price point. Now, it's not a perfect figure, but damn, I am very impressed with it overall. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...qg&oe=68A4519B Jada Toys Sagat & Vega: Jada still aren't any slouches in the Street Fighter department though. I legit feel like the line gets better with every single new character that gets released, and that alone is wonderful to see. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...ng&oe=68A45562 Black Hole Toys Majin Vegeta: While I have a couple gripes(like the figure having sleeves for some reason), I overall think this is the best 3rd Party Majin Vegeta to date. Really love the head sculpt especially. https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...kw&oe=68A44C08 SHF King Gomah & Daima Vegeta: I enjoyed Gomah as a villain, so I opted for his figuart. It's decent. The Vegeta however, surprised me. It's arguably the best Vegeta body that the line has gotten, and with a little modification, makes for an excellent SSG Vegeta body to boot. |
