Viz had decided to release Adventures In Unova in 2 sets
since it aired that way on Cartoon Network.

Would have gotten Black And White February but Jet Man
got in the way of this pick up.

All previous episodes of Pocket Monsters up to
Sun And Moon will be seen on DVD.

Hopefully when I get to Kalos (Gen 6) all 3 year
sets will be out on DVD.

Total episodes of Pocket Monsters US Dub owned
795

This after Black And White and Adventures In Unova
come to my place.

February Amiami order dropped in.

- S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Geats MagnumBoost Form
- S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taiga
- Mafex Loki (Infinity War)
- Amazing Yamaguchi Endeavor

How are those yamaguchi figures? I really like the look of that Hawks figure that they have been previewing.

Endeavor looks rad, too.

They're fantastic. Some of the best MHA figures on the market. Deku, All Might and Todoroki are great. Bakugou's also really nice, but does suffer a bit with arm stability cause of the gauntlet weights.

Endeavor's right up there, too. Extremely good figure.

I hope they do a Momo Yaoyorozu.

Mirko is a character that would perfectly fit their style and is super popular, so I'm wondering why they haven't released her yet. I think Eraser Head is next to be revealed, that one could be cool too.

@Topic: Since I started watching Gokaiger and have a good time, I couldn't help but want a Mobirates. It's just looking like so much fun. I missed the train on the Memorial Edition and don't want to pay aftermarket prices for that one, so I decided to just get a beat-up DX from eBay. Doesn't look all too pretty anymore, but it works, and I got a key set out of the deal as well.

And yeah, this thing is great. Genius idea to make little figures that turn into keys as trinkets, and the device itself is very well done with lots of noises too. The "joke" ones are really cool, like, the "Mother! Father! Thank you for everything!" is such a good troll noise for a kids toy, I wonder how many parents had their child punch that one in first :lol

Oh, and kinda fitting since Samus quarrels with Space Pirates, I got Metroid Prime Remastered today as well. Can't wait to finally play this.

I have an okd DX Mobirates myself, it’s pretty fun! I keep going back and forth on whether or not I wanna go all-in on a full Red key collection…

Oh yeah, these keys are addicting. I ordered more already :lol

It’s not even been dispatched yet, but I’ve just payed off on the Complete Modification B-Fighter Kabuto Command Voicer with Insect Commander Unit. Should be getting that in the near future.

DVD

Doc Martin Series X (Final)

Got Disney + as Doctor Who is starting so swapped out
of Netflix.

Starting Advanced Challenge after next week. If I can order XY in April / May and Sun And Moon in June / July that will catch me up to where Netflix took over for buy in.

Storing Black And White once that order comes in. Rival Destanies is the last one
before I have to buy another disk book. I may wait to I have Ultra Legends to see.

My latest additions:

I technically bought them in Feb, but I just finished building them and setting up the display so they get posted now.

March/Birthday Haul is in! The first half is stuff I bought myself, the second half is gifts gotten from friends during my birthday week.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...2g&oe=640868D2

CSG Titan Sword: This thing is friggen big, but I love it. And yes I got two so I could dual wield--I mean, display one in base form and the other in Rising. Yes.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...ug&oe=6408E9FE

Bring Arts Dragon Quest VI Terry: Honestly? While he's not a bad figure, he's way overpriced for what you get. Unless you just absolutely love the character, my advice is to wait until his goes on discount.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...rQ&oe=6409D800

SHF Turles: This guy is so close to perfect that it's actually kind of annoying. The shoulder armor is a pain as per usual with Saiyan Armor characters(seriously why did they stop doing the thing they did with Jeice and give us alternate pieces that was so good), although here it's arguably worse due to the shoulder pads now being attached via ball pegs in the back which just breaks up sculpt super bad in some poses.

But besides that, his articulation is pretty good, the sculpt is on point, and the paint detailing is wonderfully extensive... except that they forgot to paint his knees and it drives me crazy! Paint matching that is gonna be a pain...

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...rA&oe=6408AFB0

SHF Gamma 1 & Gamma 2: These guys came out way better than what I thought they would, with my only real complaint being that the way they sculpted/engineered the ankles is totally whack. But otherwise, they're nicely done figures that I'm happy to have.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...hg&oe=6408F79E

Figma Horse: Because what is Link without Epona, I ask you?

As for presents...

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...PA&oe=6408C20B

Pizza Blanket: I have zero idea as to why my friend bought me this, but he did, and for being so compact in the plastic it's surprisingly big? But hey, it's a practical gift so I ain't complainin'.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...Fw&oe=64081AFA

Seihou Zero from GARO: Three friends of mine all pitched in to get this for me when they heard I was watching GARO, and despite some articulation limitations due to the character design, I absolutely love this thing. It's beautiful to look at and feels great to pose too.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...RQ&oe=6408117A

Power Rangers Deck-Building Game Expansion 3(In Space): I actually totally missed the announcement of this one coming, so a foreign friend of mine sent me the money to buy it and add it to my ever growing complete set of the game. Now waiting for the next expansion, which is SPD.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...XQ&oe=64098108

Marvel Legends Animated Venom: Found a total madlad on eBay selling this thing for close to its original price, so I asked someone to nab it for me and they did! Unlike most of the other animated figures Hasbro has done, this one was pulled off really well, with the shading being very purposeful and really helping the figure to pop. Happy to have it.

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...AA&oe=6409CB68

SHF Cure Yell: The SHF Pretty Cure line is unfortunately dead, but at the very least I was given the figure of one of my favorite Cures from what is so far my favorite season. It's not a super amazing figure in and of itself, but I still love it all the same.

Nice! Happy Birthday!

I warched that Dragonball Super Hero movie yesterday. It was excellent! I might have preordered the gammas too. So I am glad to hear the SHFs turned out ok. Those will actually be my first dragonball shfs. I?m gonna get orange Piccolo and beast Gohan later this year.

And that Zero SHF was a find! Super awesome gift from your friends there.

I'm surprised you got those Gamma figures. They were fun in the movie, but a lot of the response I read was so against these two because of all the Gohan pack-ins.

Nice pickup on the Venom. My buddy tried looking for one but the aftermarket on it is terrible haha

Thanks!

You chose an interesting time to get into the line, as we've hit the new standard body for fighters which has been, uh, controversial, amongst fans, to say the least. Thankfully though that doesn't affect the Gammas, who came out overall great.

He was used on Mandarake, and I gotta say, whoever had him last took great care of him because he looks and feel brand new.

I don't mind the DLC for Gohan. I honestly couldn't think of any other accessories to even give the two Gammas outside of maybe an energy effect? Plus, not only is the new Mystic Gohan figure cheap, but I already own it, so it's just more stuff to play with for me.

But I was gonna get these figures regardless, because the Gammas were my favorite part of that movie.

Yeeeaaahh I missed out on pre-orders way back because they went up while I was at work, and needless to say it sucks that there are two Venom figures so far that use arguably the best body mold for him(the Omega Red body) and both are very expensive to get.

You can never have too many Kuugas, I'm always sayin'

100% agree. Still sad I couldn't get ahold of that Anniversary reissue of Mighty.

I do need that one too. The only base form I currently have is the Decade version.

Got a model kit I wanted to build as well as – more Ranger Keys :lol

https://i.imgur.com/A5uhDaR.jpg

You're really getting enamoured with Gokaiger I take it? I've got those keys myself, they're SO good

Yes, love this stuff so much! :)

But I think I'm satisfied for now. Should the urge overcome me once more I'll maybe go for the gun, that toy looks fun too.

Master Journeys Year Set

X Y Z and Journeys will be ordered March 31st.

With the Ranger sets out of the way filling in episodes
on DVD up to Master Journeys. Deka was the last one
released on DVD for the US. After XYZ and Journeys
it will be a hold for Turbo or Magi Ranger from Shout
should they drop another Pre Zyu on us.

And I do :)
Very nice kit. It helps that the suit design is simple and effective, but it's also very well realised with lots of moulded detail. The 31 individual stickers on the belt are a bit unfortunate, but so it goes sometimes.

Big package. And actually all Toku-themed for a change.

Also - probably the first time I ever got a first run bonus? Never had one before. The Don Onitaijan mask looks sweet.

Just got back from Japan, here's my haul:

I was asking some people for suggestions on how to display my figures for an "original toku" lineup. A few suggested I grab the Shin versions instead, so that's what I went with. Thankfully, both Shin Kamen Rider and Shin Gojira released while I was there, so it was easy to grab them...unfortunately, I didn't decide that I wanted to go with the Shin versions until the following day, and Shin Kamen Rider was sold out all over Akihabara. I eventually found one copy in a shop for a slightly higher price. I think it's still lower than what it would cost to import it, though, so that's nice.

https://i.postimg.cc/859vXqNd/20230323-193546.jpg

I also had a stop at the Gundam Base in Odaiba. I wanted to get kits that I couldn't find in the US, so I grabbed these two exclusives. For Unicorn, they showed a short film that this model is from on a screen outside, which was an awesome experience. For Hyaku Shiki...well, I just really liked it.

https://i.postimg.cc/S4Dr5n2b/20230323-193615.jpg

Not much to say about these, I just love One Piece. The manga are vol 100 (I'm not collecting them in Japanese, I just own 1 and 100 now) and Wanted, which is a collection of short stories that Oda released before One Piece started. I also grabbed that really cool puzzle featuring traditional style art from the One Piece Mugiwara Store at Sunshine City Ikebukuro.

https://i.postimg.cc/L6dftKy2/20230323-193753.jpg

Finally, I bought a Shin Gojira shirt. It's going to be available in the US, but I didn't want to wait.

https://i.postimg.cc/NFXH3pj3/20230323-193846.jpg

Edit: I also got some other stuff, including a keychain from a concert of my favorite idol group, a few gacha, some sort of trading card from seeing Shin Kamen Rider, and a little coaster + sauce dish set from the Kamen Rider Cafe. They're still packed away in my luggage, though, and I don't particularly feel like digging them out right now. Sorry :lol

Took advantage of Hasbro Pulse's warehouse sale and picked up some Lightning Collection stuff I still needed.

Wild Force Silver to add to my sixth rangers, Zeo Yellow to finish the Ohranger team and Snizzard to add to the monster ranks.

I will then own 24 series on DVD. Ultimate Journeys (Series XXV) currently
streaming on Netflix. If Netflix goes over 15 bucks for download off wi fi
I won't get it but will hold for Pokemon TV to add new episodes.

I picked up:
DX God Raijin-Oh from 1991
DX King Ohger + God Kabuo + Gatling Snail + Rolling Hammer

Will be here this week due to a delay:
Sentinel God Sigma Gravion

Somebody on this board has been watching Pocket Monsters on Hulu and Netflix
but a lot of episodes aren't streaming.

Advanced was my first run watch so I will resume with Indigo League (Episode 43)
right down the line on DVD. There shouldn't be any delays when XYZ ships in.

I just filled in Generation VII today.

X Y Z (Series XIX) is the final series on Cartoon Network.

I now own all 3 series of Sun And Moon aired on Disney XD. Sun And Moon
is the only Generation to run on Disney XD. Disney XD back ran XY - X Y Z
(Gen 6) which first ran on Cartoon Network.

A March full of hauls from left and right, or should I say East and West :

Order placed at Midnight my time on E Bay.

Only 27 episodes of Ultimate Journeys (Series XV) are currently on
Netflix.

I try to watch Pocket Monsters on my TV off wi fi as much as possible.

As Netflix is 15 bucks and going up hardly worth justifying the cost
to stream. This will be more likely should that go up.

Also finished Dino Fury recently on Netflix
