Got this guy today.

In all honesty, he feels a lot better than most of Hasbro’s PR figures that I own, but his arms are severely disappointing, in that somebody though 360 elbows were more important than articulated biceps/wrists. And theres also the fact that not only can he not hold his own weapon without forcing it in, said weapon is inaccurate to the onscreen prop.

I got the SHF Belial re-release and I also picked up this really cool gold guy. Not sure where gold guy is from (wink) but he is great too.

I just did a couple team-up pictures with some random figures I had lying around. If they are connected, it?s purely a coincidence, I promise. I love these ultraman figuarts.

Got in a bunch of preorders over the last three days.

- SHF Ultraman Belial (Reissue)
- SHF Ultraman Ginga (Reissue)
- SHF Gomora (Reissue)
- SS Ultraman (Reissue)
- SHF Kamen Rider Demons (Found him on Amiami's second-hand listings brand-new for retail, so tacked him onto my monthly order.)

Nice! I had that Gomora in my cart on HLJ a couple weeks back, but I was not able to checkout and missed my chance to get it. I was in a courthouse at the time so my hands were tied. Good news was I did not have to apologize to anyone, but I missed out on my figure!

Hopefully Bandai does a reissue of that Gomora figure in North America too.

I haven't watched very many Ultra, but those suits and figures look so good. I don't know if I can fall down that rabbit hole. Great haul and pics !

It's a good time to be a Kuuga fan. Got the blu-ray from Shout and the Seihou of Titan Kuuga. Haven't gone through the blu-ray yet, so I can't say much about it, but as for the Seihou, while the purple it uses for the eyes and armor aren't quite accurate to that used for the actual suit, it still looks nice, and it doesn't bother me much.

RPM expansion for the Power Rangers card game. Surprised we got this before we got Turbo, and it makes me wonder what show they'll add to the game next.

Gunslinger Spawn with his utterly gigantic horse. Might wanna go with a Figma horse for 6-inch figures if you were thinking about using this horse for other figures like I was.

Energy krackle effects from Can of Beams. Very useful for comic figures.

Wired cape for Green Ranger Shredder by DD19customs. He forgot to have a hole in the back for the peg in the back of the Dragon Shield, but it's whatev. Good work otherwise.

A t-shirt of Lyn from Fire Emblem from TheYetee. She's my favorite FE character, so I had to.

GI Joe Storm Shadow and Blue Ninjas. This is my first hands-on experience with Hasbro's' new "no plastic" packaging and I gotta say that I am not a fan. There's tons of reasons as to why, but I don't plan to rant on it here. At the very least all of these figures are excellent.

Discotek out here saving obscure stuff yet again. This is my favorite of the various Tales anime despite the obvious problems that come with taking a big JRPG and reducing it down to two hours, so I'm glad they rescued the license.

I picked this bad boy (SMP Alternative Destiny Gunbuster) up recently. I've wanted a Gunbuster kit for about 5 years now, ever since I saw one on display while in Japan. I finally own one now, and I've gotta say...I think it's my favorite model kit that I've ever built. The detail in the pieces is insane, the pre-painted parts look gorgeous, almost every sprue is either undergated or positioned in a way so that you won't see the nub marks, and it has great articulation. I didn't buy it when it came out because I wanted a more traditional Gunbuster kit, preferably one that transformed, but man this is so nice. I'm actually glad I waited, because now that I have Godhand nippers and some glass files, I did a much better job than I would have when it released.

Here are some photos I took with a few other relevant kits I have:

I've got a Mini-pla ZyuOh King coming in within the next few days, but I almost don't want it anymore because nothing will compare to this. (Of course, I actually do still want it, and am excited for it to arrive

)

So this is where I went to earlier today :

You can literally make a whole day-trip just sifting through each and every shelf, but here's the final haul

SMP Daizyujin (built, but otherwise complete and unstickered), Converge Motion Zero-Two, metsuboujinrai display stand, & Makoto Shishio ( from Rurouni Kenshin ) keychain

And right across the street from Mandarake Nagoya is

Wasn't as large as Manda, but some great stuff nonetheless, including:

SHF Thouser & Toucon Boost, SODO Revice Zero-One, Faiz, and Kuuga figs, & Orange Arms & Ichigo Lockseeds

& the other stuff I found yesterday
