I've been a little lax with coverage of my newest arrivals..

[Emerje]

Oh, I haven't posted hauls in a little while. Not much speak of recently:

Mattel Creations - Masterverse Snout Spout

Crunchyroll - S.H.Figuarts One Piece Yamato

An olympian amount of playmobil.

Just need some skeletons and the trials of hercules to go with the argonauts and the gods.

*all part of the playmobil history range..so it had to actually have happened, right? ... I'm already pretty sure that most of the mini figures that come with the vws and citreons are serial killers but zeus (and half of the other Greek gods) kind of have worse reputations.

[blackeyedprime]

Snout spout, a few origins horde snake troopers and phantom menace retro style. The third jar jar figure I have ever owned o.O think I need therapy.

New eternia masterverse figures have definitely brought me back to the masterverse line. Snout spout is really well done along with my previous purchases of ram man and claw full.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I've got several things since I was here last, somehow was away for a full month.

[Emerje]

Oh man, I haven't done this in a little while, let's see how much I can remember because I got a bunch of stuff from Crunchyroll and they ship most things one at a time which is hard to keep track of.

Pop Up Parade Lengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Simon (Young Man Ver.)

Pop Up Parade Darkstalkers - Morrigan

Pop Up Parade Darkstalkers' Revenge - Lilith

Pop Up Parade Trigun Stampede - Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Pop Up Parade Hellsing Ultimate - Alucard (Good Smile Shop and Crunchyroll Store exclusive)

Pop Up Parade Oshi no Ko - Hoshino Ai

Pop Up Parade Hunter x Hunter - Kurapika

Pop Up Parade Hunter x Hunter - Leorio

Pop Up Parade Hunter x Hunter - Hisoka

S.H.Figuarts Spy x Family - Anya and Bond

That covers the imports, here's the local stuff:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AutoMutations Night Ninja Leo and Ralph reissues at Walmart.
MOTU Origins Mattel Creations Sy-Clone x2
Mega Construx MOTU Battle Ram with Mekaneck and Tri-klops from Amazon

There might be more, but I don't remember, I've had a lot of Transformers come in, too, and a bunch of stuff in my POL at BBTS waiting to ship.

Stinkor and mossman might have failed to live up to the nostalgia but Sy-klone is awesome. Also another stack of models to make

[-Kanrabat-]

I got the Pop Up Parade Akko from Little Witch Academia. I also preordered Lotte and Sucy.
However, I have no idea where to display them so they can look good in an non crowded place.

[blackeyedprime]

I really need to Declutter but another awesome playmobil set. Yes it's definitely overpriced at full price but I got it a bit cheaper. Probably the least effort or parts count compared to the other 80s stuff (but the ateam van is still the most dissapointing). No chrome or stickers for the mirrors, buttons to release lights and then have to lift them manually and no dogs...
Fortunately history gods ares comes with one that will do in a pinch so just got to but another ares.
I kind of want a modern magnum set to go alongside this but doubt that will happen, ever.

As much as I'd like TCS helicopter I'd rather see them do the ateam car or some other 80s vehicles...playmobil did their own version of dino riders and having this ferarai definitely feels like they should be doing M. A. S. K. Wouldn't mind if they did inspector gadget or danger mouse too.

Also I might have picked up more gundam today.

I do like their 80s nostalgia vehicles, though the only one I've picked up is Back to the Future set. Inspector Gadget is a good call, it'd be a fun vehicle they could mess around with.

The mention of dinosaurs with all the cars they've done has me thinking of something that would be a lot of fun.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (based on the 80s comic Xenozoic Tales) was pretty big in the 90s getting video games and its own comic. It even had a toy line from Tyco that recycled some Dinoriders dinos. Playmobile could do some really cool stuff with this.

Emerje

[blackeyedprime]

Had a few of the human figures from cadilac and dinosaurs but never saw the dinos or the car


Having to share shelves with my power rangers is my Power Extreme!


High price tag and the way things plug in isn't the best but still really cool. Just need some gi joe classified extremes now.

[Emerje]

Big POL MOTU haul from BBTS. Of course less than 24 hours after I had it sent something came in stock.

I never saw the anime where she's from, and I have no real "attachment" to the character... But when I saw her, neurons got activated and I just had to get her.

[-Kanrabat-]

Neurons were activated again, but at least, I know who Hestia is.
And I'm glad that she's accurately on the smaller side.

[Emerje]

Both of my local Walmarts have been clearing out the collectibles in the electronics section with deep discounts (50%+ off on most things). Wasn't much I was interested in but I did pick up the BSTAXN TMNT Shredder in Hell comic set for only $10.

It's a decent show, the joke is that she's ridiculously strong and only the main character (a human who was in the Demon King's army) is strong enough to survive when she's being passionate and any threat to their family quickly backs down.

I have the Hestia figure.

I saw all seasons of The Boys so far, and I know the grim results of a couple whose members don't have their power levels balanced.

Still, scareotica is a thing.

I'll have to look up the anime.

[-Kanrabat-]

Got my favorite loli not-see!

A shame that her base is the large one instead of the small. Otherwise, she's perfect and the optional face is really appreciated.

I really should pick that up, but I do have the figma (which is apparently worth 18,000JPY now ). I really wish Good Smile didn't have the annoying habit of doing one character from a show (and not always the main character) and nothing else.

It depends on the popularity of the franchise I guess.

Speaking of the anime, will we ever get another season?

I don't know, figures for shows like Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia, three of the biggest shows going right now, started strong and then just stopped. Now Bandai is doing Demon Slayer and supposedly we're getting two more JK figma, but they haven't updated in two years.

Speaking of the anime, will we ever get another season?

I hope so, but I still haven't watched the movie yet...

Go watch it! It set up the next season in a way that is sure to be incredible!..... if it's ever being made, that is.

So apparently there was a season 2 announced in 2021, but considering a massive cash cow like the Yuri on Ice movie just got canceled it's impossible to predict what will be made and what wont after an announcement. Also discovered the movie never received an English dub like the TV series did (yet the movie is dubbed in French, Spanish and Portuguese). Usually they'd work on a dub ahead of a theater run, which it got in the US. Very odd how this series has been handled.

[Emerje]

Oh right, forgot I had some Walmart clearance finds last week.

G.I.Joe retro carded Lady Jaye for $5

Super Powers Nightwing, Deathstroke and Green Lantern for only $2 each.

Incidentally I've seen the newest wave of Super Powers figures at Walmart. Really interesting wave, wasn't expecting an all gray manga Batman in this line.

Emerje

[Emerje]

Found an Altered Beast Werewolf at Walmart this morning. Neat little figure, lots of articulation, though rather stiff. Also comes with a spirit ball that does have a peg hole in the bottom even though it doesn't come with a stand. Not bad for less than $10 dollars.

Also picked up a Pizza Toss'n Raph from the clearance aisle for $5. Never liked these things, but I couldn't deny the price.

Also from Crunchyroll Store I got Pop Up Parade Maki Albarn and Soul (in scythe form) from Soul Eater. Figures from this series are just much too rare!

Emerje

[-Kanrabat-]

I got one hell of a stroke of luck by wandering in a normie geek shop at a shopping center.

Pop Up Parade Chise get!

Sure, it's a bummer to pay 10/15$can more than normal, but at least I have her! I also managed to get Igleas on eBay. Used, 60$can plus taxes and shipping. Still expensive for the total price, but WAY less expensive than normal.

Both where hard to find because they were basically instantly sold out everywhere. Where they produced in limited numbers?
