It was my birthday a couple days ago! Here's my haul, half of which were presents from friends!



SHF MMPR Black and DC Icons Blue Beetle: I found both of these at my local comic shop. Needless to say, despite how expensive they were, I just had to grab them. Both are figures I never thought I'd be able to get, and I don't regret the purchase.



Seihou Rising Pegasus Kuuga: It really is hard to believe that this line will be all finished by the end of this year, lest they throw in some surprises. Still holding out hope for an Ichijo figure.



SHF Final Swing Spider-Man: People saying that this is the best SHF Spider-Man to date aren't exaggerating. There's still some room for improvement, but their Spidey figures have certainly come a long way.



SHF Darth Vader (Obi-Wan Version): Speaking of "best" this is by far the best Darth Vader figure to date period. Having both the cape and lower robes be cloth does wonders for the articulation. Might try out swapping the head with the model kit in the future though.



BUZZmod 2B: Comparing this to the SHF, it's actually a pretty tough call. Where one succeeds, the other falters and vise-versa. While I do ultimately side with this one, if you're not a huge stickler for those differences, I'd say go with the SHF just because it's cheaper.



DBZ SHFs: I still wish that Goku Black had won the Reissue Poll, but still, Broly Vegeta was a release I missed out on, so not a total loss. The paint jobs on the Event Exclusives are stellar, though I still say that Majin Vegeta should just get a new mold entirely.



GameDimensions King (GameStop Exclusive): My local GameStop actually had an exclusive for once, so I nabbed it. I think I'll actually side with GD over SHF for Tekken figures, as the SHFs are not only way too expensive for me, but the lack of bicep swivel just kills them for me in terms of playability.



Tekken 8: This was a gift from a friend of mine whose favorite fighting game series is, well, Tekken. And yeah, Tekken 8 is a great game. Very happy my boy Eddy Gordo is the first DLC character.



Silver Keychain: Commissioned for me by another friend of mine. Silver is my favorite Sonic character, so heck yeah I was happy to get this!



And last are three presents from some of my closest friends. Sure, they're nothing extravagant, but I appreciate them all the same.

Not quite last though, because, well, this post is also basically a sendoff to my current laptop, as I recently bought a brand new one. This laptop has done me well for the past seven years, but it's time to upgrade.
