At another thrift store, I found CASTLE GRAYSKULL for only 9$!
The real thing from 1981!

Granted, everything that was removable except the main gate is gone. Still, I could always repaint the thing to make a killer backdrop for my Transformers Cyberverse figures or G.I Joe wars.

A set of Naruto Gashapon Full Color R figures (I think there's a ninja FC somewhere in it too) - one set like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-Naruto-G ... 0897541159
I can't wait for it to arrive.
Also, some special monopoly sets (Arsenal FC, Pokemon) I found at the local used-toy shop.

Rodimus Prime wrote:Marvel Universe Juggernaut. I don't collect those, because I don't like how scrawny they are, but Juggs is anything but. He's also my favorite X-Men villain, and I look a little bit like Cain Marko in the face (also the hair) and I have a broad chest and thick legs. So if I had the huge arms, I would kinda look like him. Also, I get destructive when I get pissed off, and not even an injury stops me until I calm down. (Doesn't happen often, I have developed a lot of patience just for this reason.) When I was younger I used to break doors and windows and punch walls and stuff. Basically, I threw a fit like a damn crybaby when I got pissed, and damage to property and myself ensued. So he's a bit special to me, I thought he should be represented on the shelf. Thing is, I bought him about a year ago, but I haven't removed him from the package, because I don't want to tarnish him in any way.

Also I have my tri-deco Sgt. Slaughter that's pretty cool, but I don't collect Joes either.

That's awesome. I really believe in finding similarities and for me, even comfort, in some of my favorite characters from various fictional worlds, i.e. Superman, Marvel's Gambit,Spider-Man, Nightcrawler etc. I bought a Marvel Select Gambit bc I found solace in the fact that Gambit struggled with his past which is something I struggle with. I don't look like him in anyway, but he's a cool character and a great figure. I also bought a couple of Snake Eyes figures.

On point with this thread; I also collect Thundercats figures and some Halo McFarlane figs as well.

I recently realized I was crazy about the French / Japanese cartoon Ulysses 31 when I was younger.
I downloaded all the episodes, and am watching them right now.
More importantly, I also found out that the shuttle used by Ulysses (La Navette d'Ulysse) was actually made into an incredibly cool toy by the French toymaker Popy. Due to the fact it was (most probably) only ever released in France, it's pretty hard to find, it's usually quite expensive, and due to the fact that large parts are made of die-cast and it contains rubber and small missiles, they are very prone to damage and loss of parts.

(This one is actually not the one I own)

I was lucky enough to find a very good condition Navette d'Ulyyse on French eBay. And it is an amazingly cool toy!

Are you Québécois by chance?

I too, loved that series, even if it was quite silly at times.
I only had the last two episodes to watch before my last computer burned...

Anyway, great find!

Now, I do wonder if you know this little guy: Goldorak.

I was disapointed about the last Goldorak episode. Still, I have a bitchi'n 8" tall vinyl statue of him!

No, I'm not Québécois! I actually watched the English subbed version when I was I a kid in England (on BBC), but I believe the original language for the cartoon was indeed French (and Japanese), so it's no surprise that Québec TV also aired this.
I recently 'acquired' all 26 English-language-episodes on my computer in excellent quality, and I've been watching the first couple of those episodes. Not as epic as I remembered (of course!) but still fun.
Most of the Ulysse toys and figures (made by Popy) were only ever released in France, it seems, although some did make it to England. Not even sure if Japan ever received a toy-line.

Glad to see another Goldorak fan! I too, had downloaded and watched the whole series.
Two thing disapointed me: When a new cool and baddass character apperear, they always have to go all kamikase for no reasons so we can never hear of them again. Also, anti-climatic ending.

If you can manage to find a print of the original manga by Go-Nagai, you won't be dissapointed. I read them in french before I rewatched the anime. Maybe that's why I did not appreciated the anime as much as I expected.
Still, I just LOVE these action scenes with that 1970's soundtrack!

My daughter wanted a Boston Red Socks Nascar looking pedal car. I figured if she loses interest… I can hang it in the man cave. Also managed to find her the Skylanders "Lightning Rod" and "Warnado"

Having kids…the perfect excuse to be a kid

HEY SMOKETREADER!

Head on over to Toynami.com and they have a completely revamped Robotech line...INCLUDING a G.I. Joe-sized Rand with his cycle armor.

I recently stumbled across these myslelf, and after a couple hours perusing and hearing the theme song from the Macross Saga in my head, decided to dive in (telling myself hey, they "kinda" fit in with Transformers LOL).

They can be a little pricey, but no more so than a decent Voyager, let along a 3rd party fig. They have the Veritech V1, Alpha and Beta fighters, and some of the minor characters mechs already...

I am seriously considering getting a Bane figure, but am still unsure about which incarnation to settle for.

The Arkham version is glorious, but a bit too out there.
I quite like the Nolan one, but are there any good traditional ones around?
Any help?

Posted: **Wed Aug 08, 2012 6:21 pm**

I think I can add Hot Toys's 1/6 scale The Dark Knight Tumbler and Bat-pod to that list. I've been doing my best to avoid those super-expensive things for as long as I could, but the movies just caved in my resolve.

Even tried tracking down much cheaper and smaller versions of the vehicles, but they were all sold out.

And now, I've even pre-ordered HT's DX-12 Batman and Bane to go with the vehicles.

On the Macross front, I couldn't resist getting that DYRL VF-1S Hikaru Ichijo custom they recently released, the one with the option parts. I've long since told myself, "only TV version Valks." But then, I wanted a DYRL version to go with that 1/6 scale Hikaru figure from Toynami.

So much for iron will....

I got the Men in Black Neuralizer prop and immediately started flashing people.

Sadly it did not work as demonstrated in the movies but it's still a very cool piece.

Were you hoping people would forget you flashed them?

Pretty much.

I love dolls.

No, really.

Especially when the box is a perfect display box with great art on the front.
And cheap.

So, I bought myself a couple of Bratz. They were beautiful and only 7-9$ each.

That top shelf is full, but the "monster" Bratz with their eerie glass eyes are really tempting. If they ever get on clearance, I may get some.

Dude, gut them and turn them into Pretenders!

Errr.... no.

These will be kept sealed.

Still, I bought a Transformers junk lot recently and I'm getting some tools for my birthday.
Expect something new in the coming months!

I have a sad confession to make.
I love the ANNOYING ORANGE! Well, not literally.
It is the best idea for a show in years.
I admit I am a latecomer to the Orange, but nevertheless, am a fan.

I've been wanting an Annoying Orange toy since learning of him but are those things ridiculously pricey for, well, plastic fruit . First time I had ever heard of him I saw my brother trying to win one from a crane game.

Wal-mart had gobs of them on clearance for 5 bux a pop today.
Picked up 2 different Oranges and my daughter got Marshmallow.
They talk and each say different phrases. They are hilarious!!!

I seriously think I may get them all.

I saw this at Hot Topic the other day and just had to have it. It's a zombie dashboard figurine. It was an awful bright green color though, so this is how it looks after I painted it.

YES! I own this Lego set: the helicopter model isn't great at all, but the figures are excellent. Deadpool is very cool, and I also like the Magneto in this set.
