As soon as I finish decorating, I might even get around to opening these guys up, too.

Not quite...Arcade, Baby, four arms...and all the other mutations...

Baby shredder with android Kraang is a must for me though I dont really need android Kraang as the Megabloks one is pretty darn good and worth considering as a cheaper option (if it's prices havent skyrocketed).

[AllNewSuperRobot]

No, no, no. I have no interest in the Arcade one. Nor a baby either. If Neca bring out an Utrom Shredder, then I extend my collection to 6. Beyond that... nah.

Come on, every one wants the child (though some prefer the green Sith one in mandolorian for some reason) Oroku and Grogu are destined... for kindergarten.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

That is definitely a pass...

Bunch of Marvel and Star Wars stuff

[blackeyedprime]

The sixth turtle (everyone knows the fith turtle was a kid, sorry Venus).

Kinda feel odd about this one as I'd sold my complete playmates toy a long while back for downsizing but the turtles might need some help when shredder arrives, or maybe shredder can use him against them - if the power rangers villains haven't recruited him before then like they are planning on with marvel legends frogman.
One day I will downsize.

Starting my stormtrooper collection. Got these 2 remnants, a pair of holiday troopers, and in the background you can see Luke and ML Rogue, whom I stumbled onto and really liked her in person, plus had target rebates so got her for free.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Only just found out about these but...

Roll on 2021!

The Defenders figures are pricier than normal NECA stuff but a great year ahead for Flash and the Phantom between Neca and Boss Fight Studios. I'm preferring Necas but would be nice to have the horses (and Zorro) from Boss Fight.

Waiting for Power rangers pumpkin rapper to arrive instock before it gets shipped with a bunch of non tfs.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Yep. I might just have found a new line of variants to pursue in Flash Gordon, Ming and the Phantom. Between the two companies efforts. The Classic Comic book Ming from Boss Fight and Defenders version from Neca look amazing.

[Evil Eye]

Dipped my toe into the world of Mythic Legions, and have promptly slipped and belly-flopped into it and ordered a few more. I love this little guy, he's so full of personality and he looks amazing.

Trying to not to have multiple versions of characters I already have outside of transformers, though I probably shouldn't do that with transformers either (trys and fails to hide any of the three trypticon I have under the bed). Motu classics adam/TV retro figures for scale.

Having motu 200x mane faces pretty much means never needing another one but I picked up the origins figure to see if it fits with original/retro TV and it works out nicely. Face paint is a bit soft undetailed and for some reason the monster face feels like it will scratch (despite the human face having a nose). Glad to see the retro play promoted on the figures is on the figure, as I believe the wwe motu new day? version had a removable helmet cover to rotate faces manually but manefaces has the rotating dual. Once again really wanting the wwe motu figures that aren't available/reasonable prices here.

Scareglow, seeing as the original figure goes for more than I'd ever consider spending on a single original heman figure this is great to have. Sadly most motu stuff is over scalped, over priced and pretty much sickening to shop for, I got him at £1 over retail. The molded plastic Cape is neat and smells great and I'm sure the glow in the dark will look great displayed with TV retro glowing transformation he-man. The figure is way too small to go with classics or mythic legions

Power rangers Pumpkin rapper is pretty cool. Think his head/eye sockets could do with a bit more paint and it's one of those figures that really feels something is a miss with out a voice chip. Not sure if his pumpkins that can go on the power rangers head can be used on other figures as I'm usually a bit wary of pulling heads off. If they do a goldar with wings this size, hasbro has my money (then I'd get king tut to go with him too). I get the feeling some transformers Red figures will be done at his size/price point and maybe some GI Joe classified figures too.

Quelled some shredder envy. Still not sure about the comic style highlighting but the upcoming figures all look great and having Super7 as another option for larger/toyesque figures just compliments a range that I probably don't have the money to kerp upto.

Technically my second/third neca cartoon figure but out of all the toy manufacturers, Shredder feels like it might be breakable. I've tried to pose each arm for a second before not wanting to fight the resistances. Makes me feel like I went for the right choice of turtles from Bandai. Cloth Cape is really nice and all the accessories. Helmet seems like it could do with a bit of shaping/heating/adjusting. It has been a long while since I had a shredder figure with the playmates classics/neca comic style not having one (neca now does but exclusivity means high price ).

Krang, is really well painted. He's probably not worth half the price of the two pack as a figure though. I had the original toy so this feels like it is missing stuff (robot arms etc) but the orig toy was never cartoon accurate and this ticks that box that no other krang/walker suit has. Pulling off his tentacles to plug into the suit really nails the look. Sometimes simple things can achieve the best results.

Got a bunch of 6-inchers in lately. I got the Spiderverse Miles Morales, which is pretty neat and I love the outfit; Moff Gideon is really damn good, I wanted him for the Dark Saber but he himself is really solid and good; and then Kuiil, who is the only one to get a photo here, but he is my figure of the year. He is my new figure partner, I have spoken.

When ya break your own rules on collecting twice in a week...

My first G. I Joe to go with my Cobra figures, though it wouldn't be Joebra!!! with out a Joe. Rule breaking allowed. The ninjas, probably wanting another two, so that they can all have their own weapon set but buying duplicates gets pricey and kind of counters not buying the Joe's to limit spends.

Then for my only villains collection of Power Rangers (until hasbro does a set of the mighty morphing...) 1 villain Blaze, 1 White ranger (to fight green if/when he shows up), 2 blue man group members (stretching it there) and 1 red beast morphers (erm, yeagh can't make anything up to justify buying a good guy).
Three of the good guys were half price, so it was hard to resist as half rrp is probably what the figures should ideally be anyways

Furyu Toon Kagamine Rin is pretty nice looking, but a wee bit less dynamic than the Miku one.



Regardless, she's a very nice addition to my ever growing Kagamine Rin shrine.

You guys are not going to believe what I just got for $19 at Gamestop!

Red 5.jpg

A Red 5 X-Wing has been the Star Wars thing I've wanted ever since I saw the Saga Collection one at Toys R Us when I was like 6. It's so surreal to have one now, and at that price! They had a bunch of them, so I got two, one to open.

The deco on this thing is spectacular, I usually like to paint and weather things up but I honestly don't think there's much I can add to this.

I would say I'm on cloud 9, but perhaps Cloud City would be more appropriate in this case xD

[-Kanrabat-]

That was quite a steal for this X-Wing! Even for the reissue.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Got in some new Black Series and Marvel Legends stuff lately
