creepy anime girls!



And today I got, furniture! Oh, and some spooky sorceress chick.

Sorceress? Never heard Elizabeth described that way.

I dunno what she is, I don't know anything about Persona. She has what looks like a spell book and and creep eyes. And an awesome chair (which is why I bought her).

Lol, you got her for chairs. I still need/want to check out Metal Builds/Metal Composites in person. Not even reviews get the idea across to me.

Anyway, I picked up my Mandarake box from the Post Office. I'm so excited I don't even know where to begin. Not pictured is an LED TaJaDor for OOO. I haven't even gotten mine in from CSToys yet. It's still in customs. With even more Lock Seeds.....

The chairs are cool, and for some reason I've been in a mood lately to buy display accessories for my toys, and it was a good price.

I can tell you, I have bought a LOT of toys over the last 9 years, from all price points. And hands down, MB Exia and MB 00-Raiser are by far the best things I have ever purchased. Obviously, they're going to be better than any mass market retail figure, but compared to any collector-targeted figure of comparable price, they are still unbeatable.

Take the Mastermind Creations Knight Morpher Cyclops: he cost me around $170-$180 shipped? He's a huge toy, a battleship that was 14-ish inches long, transforms into a giant robot around 12-ish inches tall (okay, i could be wrong about the sizes, I sold it a long time ago).

I was pretty hugely disappointed by Cyclops. It was difficult as hell to transform, the robot mode wasn't nearly solid enough, joints were too loose to support the bulkiness of the figure, the little sub-dude doesn't peg together at all in sub mode, so it breaks every time you pick it up.
I sold it off pretty soon after I got it, and despite the demand for the figure, took a substantial loss on it.

Exia cost me $150 shipped with Amazon Prime, and it is freaking amazing. A perfect figure, in my opinion. It has a ton of accessories, parts to change to Exia Repair III, and it is so well executed, in every way, that I am very tempted to buy a second, so I can display both forms at the same time.

Super solid construction, excellent paint work, tight joints that support the heavy metal skeleton. It's fantastic. I don't think I have never been as happy with any purchase as I am with Exia (and 00-Raiser).

I can understand being hesitant to spend that much money, I certainly was on Exia, because EVERY time I have spent over $100 for a figure, I have always been disappointed with it in some way or other. But not so with Exia, so much that I really didn't hesitate too long before dropping even more on 00-Raiser.

Before buying Exia and 00-Raiser, i never really knew how to answer that age-old question, "if you could only have one figure in your collection?" Well the has been firmly, irrevocably been answered as MB 00-Raiser. And after that, MB Exia. I'll give up all my SHF Ryuki Figuarts, including Genocider, before I give up 00-Raiser and Exia.

And that's enough singing the praise to those two toys today.

Oh wow. And exactly how much of them are metal?

My Banpresto Kamen Rider Gaim statue (basic pose, not holding weapons) came today, along with SH Figuarts Deka Blue.

The Gaim statue is worth a solid 4000 yen if you can find it for that much or less. It's very light weight, but the amount of detail on every single inch is incredible. Even the Lock Seeds on the Lock Seed Belt Clip are molded and painted correctly down to the last detail (minus the LS-##).

Can't recommend it enough, and I'm not a statue guy. But I love the look of this figure. If they do a Baron, I'm sold.

Woohoo! The long awaited Mandarake order from mid December finally arrives!

MG 3.0 RX-78-2
DX Legend Rider Locks Set 1&2
DX/Superchange Kabutack
DX/Superchange Tentorina & Tobimasky
These two sets are DEAD MINT, sealed and unused, so massively excited to have them. And so cheaply!
