Very nice. To date, Bruiser is the only one I’ve got out of the box. Aside from my glorious Toad Army!

4 of my 6 Ghostbusters dudes arrived today. They are pretty good! I am enjoying 6" figures lately.

they also look super good with the Ghostbuster Bot crew

Those GB figures look simply amazing! Almost Hot-Toys like in how accurate they look.
Are they relatively expensive?

got my final 2 Ghostbusters. I did not want Gozer or Dana Barrett, and did not know about the Terror dog until a few weeks ago, but the terror dog with Gozer makes for a great looking pair, they are growing on me

I woke up to a 'bang' in the night. Couldn't see what it was, so went back to sleep and thought nothing more of it.

When I got home from work, I saw what made the bang... It came from one of my display shelves.

Awe man, sorry. That's harsh. I would honestly suggest gorilla glue, but then you wouldn't be able to really move the head much anymore since it's that barbell ball joint. Could also contact the manufacturer and ask if they could send a replacement part?

Got my first ever S.H.Figuarts figures in, and it's a stunner

News Credits: 101 · Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:30 pm

Got the Furyu Toonize Kagamine Rin and a Nendoroid Petit Kagamine Rin Appen!

I was really lucky to have found them at Mandarake for a very, very reasonable price. 1200 yen for Toonize Rin beat Amazon and especially Ebay any time.

The Nendo mini is very annoying to deal with. Hard to assemble because things keep falling off...
But Toonize Rin is AMAZING! She's BIG like a Funko Pop but she's 100000000XXXXXX more beautiful and °e°x°p°r°e°s°s°i°v°e°! Seriously, look at her!
She's KAH-YOUUUUUUTE!

The Rin shrine keep growing...

I'm not really into GI Joe. Even back as a kid, it was a bit too.. jingoistic (an apt descriptive I didn't know back in the day) and I thought that was quite offputting.

However, there were two character designs, from the Sunbow cartoon, that I did like: Destro and Cobra Commander

Fun fact: I watched GI Joe before Transformers. So when I heard Starscream speak, I only heard it as Cobra Commander's voice. An association that has never been broken.

Anyway fast forward to 2020 - GI Joe Classified. I've seen and heard nothing but good things about this line. I saw both Destro and Cobra Commander recently, so I thought why not? Two pre-orders made. BUT, this is Hasbro. Enter Profit Director Destro and Regal Cobra Commander. Two More Pre-Orders made.

...Now Supreme Cobra Commander has been announced and the mold variant collector has been awoken.

Weird that none of the CC's announced come with his cloth masked head though :-?

I'm not getting my hopes up with them. If Marvel Legends is any indication, Hasbro designers don't seem to grasp female anatomy very well. #-o

Should aim your hopes a little lower when an entire wave is target exclusive -Baroness with bike, beachhead, corbra soldier (how expensive is it going to be to army build), roadblock.

Funnily enough, InDemand Toys just got those in as pre-orders, Here! except Cobra Trooper is being limited to one per customer..A limit on an Army builder :???:

Personally, I'm sticking with Destro & Cobra Commander alone. Maybe Serpentor or Zartan, depending on how the figures turn out. As I liked their designs in the Sunbow cartoon.

Sweet, I'd been checking it out this morning prior to them uploading them, £38 for baroness makes me cry though as I need money to actually be able ot get any kind of toyhauls. I'm planning on sticking to just the villains which is still going to be costly (especially as I'll cave for sgt savage and gi joe extreme characters).

I know GI Joe in contrast to some of the other lines I collect, is a deep well to fall down. Extensive numbers on both sides. Ideally MP Beast Wars will be finished in 14 to 20 figures. Bucky O' Hare not many more than that and Mortal Kombat fewer still. I don't really have the room for more than that.

In my Mandarake order, I finally got the Creamy Mami mini-figurines collection!

Those are lovely and tiny but those sitting girs need to sit in a specific spot in order to be displayable. I really love them!

The only place to properly display the girls:

I still have no idea why I love that random vintage anime so much that I just discovered one or two years ago. ¯\_(◔ᗜ◔)_/¯

Finally built the last ironblooded gundam I brought back from Japan. Loving the ape arms though they could do with a better connection for the upper arms to the shoulders.
Missing a foot and hip piece for him that might have got lost when snipping the sprues down to fit inside my baggage at the time.

Haven't had much luck on finding reasonably priced transformers exclusives two packs so I've got another hasbro (reasonably priced! ) exclusive on the way this week... Bilu billu blu Bilu...
