They, them and this all with water squirters and tooth picks.

Can't see them doing a retro VHS cell shaded Prof X anytime soon...

Same for apocalypse and when the figures are really nice, no need to wait to see if they do.

My marvel figures are going to utnumber my Joes within less than 3 months of starting them which is kind of scary.

Got my Clone Wars Maul

I got a bit BAF completionist on the villains set though I think dormammu was the only figure (okay maybe the hood too) that was on my could give a miss.

Blink to go with age of apocalypse stuff I have.

Two pack just for Pyro for the xmen 90s opening intro characters (not decided if I'm keeping red skull as red skull or convert him to intro gargoyle yet). I can make a quasi xmen evolution team with rogue so not too bad. And the hydra stomper but for my Joebra shelve (cover girl is going to go with it).

Really not a fan of retro style toys that fail to have the retro style but chromeless warmachine looks okay in dull light, was going to paint him but probably don't need to.

Quite liked the wolverine but he has movie style claws placement:( which can be okay but I prefer comic wolvies layout.

Jigsaws OK (he was pretty good in the tv series enough to have a figure of him be it comic or not) just gotta find a punisher to go with now.

Full set was £90 from kapow with maybe five figures I wanted from the wave. Warpath is another off my xmen 90s opening list.

I saw that and was intrigued by the Strong Guy BAF. But not enough to buy the wave. I do wish Hasbro would sell the BAF's separately sometimes.

Finally got my Dungeons & Dragons animation figures from Target after several weather related shipping delays and eventually having to go to the post office and pick them up this morning. Glad they didn't send them back, it'd been a week and my carrier is terrible leaving me notices.

Speaking of my mail carrier, I got two packages from BBTS one day sales, both small enough to fit in my box, but long so the two together were causing my mail box door to hang open. Snow plow nearly ripped the door off my box, not sure if I'll be able to fix it or not. Saving money on figures at the cost of possibly having to get a new mailbox doesn't make me happy...

Anyway, the two things I got from BBTS:

Tiger & Bunny S.H.Figuarts Tamashii Web Shop exclusive Wild Tiger

Tiger & Bunny Figuarts Zero Huang Pao-Lin (Dragon Kid)

Then I've got two big boxes from AmiAmi. First box:

Good Smile Company Gurren Lagann THE GATTAI Infinite Combining Gurren Dan Lagann

Second Box:

figma Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld Alice Synthesis Thirty

figma Jujutsu Kaisen Satoru Gojo

figma Fate/Grand Order Berserker/Musashi Miyamoto

Nendoroid ASTRO's PLAYROOM Astro

S.H.Figuarts Naruto Shippuden Kakashi Hatake

Machine Build Series Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos Rod Drill

POP UP PARADE Overlord IV Albedo

Phew, that's a lot, hope I didn't forget anything!

Currently have two more boxes on the way.

It has since recovered, the two boxes from AmiAmi were from December, it just took this long to arrive from Japan (the second box didn't ship until about a week into January then another week to get here and another week for me to pick up), I used PayPal Pay in 4 on that so it's already half paid for. I also used Pay in 4 on the D&D figures but I did that months ago so that was already long paid off when I got it. The Tiger & Bunny figures (which were heavily discounted) and the Gurren Lagann set I paid for out of pocket.

That Gurren Lagann looks great.

Origins Mantenna is on his way to me a few waves? late but at least late is better than never

Pricing is still £5 over retail at all retailers for the origins standard figures here tho

Picked up some Turtle stuff!

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 9:18 pm

A few more things:

From Hobby Search-

figma SSSS.Gridman Gridman (Primal Fighter ver.)

From AmiAmi-

figma Jujutsu Kaisen Megumi Fushiguro

Nendoroid Natsume Yuujinchou Nyanko Sensei

Nendoroid Ranking of Kings Bojji & Kage

Final Fantasy 11 Beer Mug <Marble Bridge>

It's been a few years since I've played FFXI, but I used to play it all the time. Anyone that's played will know the Marble Bridge tavern so I thought it would be neat to get a beer mug from there (though I'm pretty sure in the game the mugs were metal or wood.

Masterverse new eternia Beastman is really realllly good! I'd even go so far to say I'd be happy with him as my only Beastman even over super7 retro TV version. He's just so beasty.

Movie he-man might be good with ramen toys heads but all his accessories and clothing is really good.

Leech sucks. In the good way

and I don't feel that bad having paid deluxe price equivalent for Mantenna - his four legs are really well done and kudos to Mattel for doing at standard figure pricing (even if we can't pay that for it over here).

Thunder punch heman. Dunno. He has the twist waist punch that should have been standard on origins figures but made deluxe flying fists and terror claws a lot more fun. Thunderpunch has the added gimmick of a clicking sound when he punches. No need for cap gun caps. Maybe it's just nostalgia but I prefer the original figure.

Snout spout, pretty great even if the retro play is a whole new head with a squeeze back pack compared to the originals mechanism. But that just means buying two, to have one as snout spout and one as hose head.

Masters of the wwe. I was going to pass on trap jaw stone cold but it's nice to have (only two arm accessories unlike Trapjaw three) and steph was kind of a must to go with H.H.H

I got some marvel legends off of Facebook market place. $40 for the 3. Which is a steal, Nightcrawler is more than that by himself right now.

I have these BAF pieces. I sold off the Armadillo and Obsidian pieces today, but I would like to complete the other 3. If you guys have some parts to help a brother out, shoot me a message.

Basically, I thought this would be an alternate to Android Krang.

I wasn't expecting how tiny this one is!?

Almost forgot to post that I got the 2022 figma Snow Miku last week, this one's theme was Grand Voyage.

She looks like she stepped out of Kantai Collection. This is Snow Miku number 9 and I have number 10 on pre-order.

Pretty cool.

That Snow Miku is awesome!
I bet the original artist had fun making a fusion between Shimakaze

And the adorable V-Tuber Kobo from Hololive Indonesia:

I'm tempted.

So for contrast....

I was anticipating a size equivalent. Perhaps showing the Mirage comics gap in my TMNT knowledge?

and your 200X TMNT knowledge

Mirage Utrom bodies were used to disguise themselves amongst humans, hence human sized. TMNT 200X mainly to get around Leonardo chopping Shredders head off in shadowed cartoon glory...

True. I think I only caught the first and second seasons of 200X TMNT. I do hope Neca does Utrom Shredder.
