He mainly collects Voltes V stuff. Because, you know, Filipino nostalgia. He's not a 'collector' in the traditional sense so I got a bit annoyed when I had to stop him from throwing away the packaging for the SOC Voltes V 40th edition (and I'm the guy who throws away packaging!).

Lmao, throwing away a box of an expensive figure would definitely be aggravating.

Going back to the topic of SHFs, I was listening to Evolt's theme song when I remembered about Black Hole's SHF and how it's a bit cheaper than regular Evolt. Did a quick google search and realized that his orders stopped a long time ago. Big shame. I liked Black hole.

I mean, there is the possible reissue coming up, but the inflation on that one is gonna sting a lot. Wonder when are they gonna announce the reissues tho. I'm itching for Cross-Z.

Wild as it is, they said they'd announce them on Rider's 50th. April 1st.

Unfortunately, I think the reissue is only for regular Evol not Black Hole.

Man, that's such a long time...

...Probably enough time for me to save up on Evolt instead of Cross-Z...

Imagine if they went through an April fools thing and went: "Surprise! We're actually re-releasing the top 10 instead of top 5! Haha!"

Yeah, I was talking about Evol Cobra. Which inflated to around 110$ upwards around here, unfortunately.

That would be very cool... and something I could see as possible given how they said the 5th place was extremely close. Won't hold my breath but it would be nice!


Evol Black Hole is out this month, by the by (as well as Ixa and Vulcan Assault) so you should be able to find him secondhand soon enough. I imagine with Phase 1 being a lot more popular he shouldn't be toooooo expensive...

I actually think that's one of the most clever suit designs I've seen in a long time. Apart from the design's implication, you must admit they really nailed the theme and concept. Suit motifs were one of the biggest aspects of toku that pulled me in so I have lots of opinion on them!

Btw, did your dad pick up the Voltes V Mini Action figure from Action Toys? I picked it up recently and it's very impressive! Though, admittedly few things compare to the SOC.

I'd absolutely love a Lightning Hornet figure. Figures that make sense to be floating are easy to display with all the empty vertical space in my display has. I also think it would just fit in with my Kabuto figures :)

Isn't Action Toys the company that did the revamped machine robo figures? If so, wow, to do a voltes v at that scale with action toys quality, must be pretty good. And few things ever come close to the ChOnky might of the SOC line.

Super Akiba Red is definitely clever, although I'll still be a bit embarrassed to own it! Again, maybe when I finally move out lol. Akibaranger Figuarts are dirt cheap right now so I don't expect that to change when I move out.

And yes my dad did pick up the Action Toys ver. He also bought another one for a family friend when they reissued it (which hasn't arrived yet due to lockdown restrictions). It's definitely very impressive! Very sturdy and whatnot.

Speaking of reissues, if the SHFs are getting reissued next April, then, whew, more than enough time to save up for Evol then.

Actually, I already have enough money to buy SHF Evol if/when he gets reissued but I'm gonna go broke after that so time to get more money so I don't become broke hahaha.

SURPRISE SURPRISE! Kamen Rider Calibur Jaaku Dragon will be the first Premium Bandai release for Saber! Web shop orders begin today! 7150 yen.

He comes with Kurayami and parts to holster it on his waist, and apparently his cloak is soft plastic just like Saber and Blades, and he also comes with a closed Alter ride book for summoning Dezas- I mean a Megido.

My wallet is ready, I think!
