My monthly haul!



Nendoroid The Boyfriend: I'm really impressed with just how well they managed to translate this design into 3D!



G.I. Joe Classified Series Snow Job: Now, I'm no big GI Joe fan, but I had to get Snow Job. Why? Because he is the source of one of my favorite videos of all time.

SHF Beast Gohan: I don't like how they did the shading for the hair. Rather than shade it all naturally, they just made a stripe across the base and called it a day. But even more than that, what I really don't like about this figure is the overlay for the shirt. The material is nowhere near soft enough, meaning that his torso articulation is close to worthless, and I don't see Orange Piccolo being any better. Might just grab a second Mystic Gohan and plop the Beast head on that. Or display this one shirtless, since you can take it off.



SHF Sailor Mars -Animation Color Edition-: Since I've been collecting Pretty Cure figures lately, I figured I might as well get my original favorite magical girl. Here's to hoping Tuxedo Mask gets reissued in the future.



Titan Comics Kamen Rider Zero-One Paperback: The paperback version fixes most of the art mistakes! Most of them!



Power Rangers/TMNT II Paperback: Haven't read this yet, but very excited to given how much I liked the first crossover.



ML TAS Peter Parker vs Smythe 2-Pack: Most of the figures in this subline have been pretty bad, so how these ones compare? They're okay. They are by no means perfect, but they are a noticeable step up from the previous 2-Packs. Really wish Mondo would make 1/12 scale versions of their upcoming Spider-Man TAS figures though.



Marvel Select Iceman: Got sick of every Marvel Legends Iceman being bad, so I got this guy as a replacement, hoping he'd be small enough to fudge in with 6-inch figures. And while it can work, it definitely requires some dynamic posing to pull off. Still, really love how this guy came out overall, especially in terms of aesthetic and accessories.



Custom TAS Spider-Man head by pvc_bakeshop: Got this guy from a customizer on Insta, and it was worth every penny. My crap phone camera really doesn't do justice to how much this head sculpt looks like it jumped right out of the 90s cartoon. The MAFEX Spider-Man was already my favorite Spidey figure in my collection. But with this added to it? It's a whole 'nother level for me.



Custom effects by Can of Beams: This time it's a shockwave set, a multitude of spell circles, and a Gambit effects set. All of them are great, and will enhance many of my figures even further. Especially the MAFEX Gambit.
