Finally got Masterverse He-Ro from Entertainment Earth. I'd probably use EE more if their shipping wasn't soooo slow. 9-10 days is a little long thanks to having to cross the entire country.

Picked up three league of legends 6 inch figures for less than £10.
None of them from the Arkane animated series but no complaints at that price.

*Home Bargains has put them upto £7 each, January sales suck this year hahahhaha

[D-Maximal_Primal]

More packages arrived, plus a surprise Dr Strange find in the fajita shell area of Walmart. Iron man is really awesome with the plasma cannon, that thing is HUGE! And the Kenobi Saber lives up to my hype, I love it. I am so happy with it.

I got my 3rd Holiday figure today, continuing to grow my Mandalorian crew. The Holiday crew looks good too

[Emerje]

Had a heck of a great day out today. Stopped at the local salvage shop to see what they've gotten in for their holiday toy selection. First thing I found was a Power Rangers Dino Fury Red T-Rex (set 1) for under $17. A little more walking around and I found a Dino Fury Blue Tricera and Black Stego (set 3) for the same price. No sign of set 2, but I was pretty happy with what I found. Also picked up an McFarland Avatar Aang with glider for under $9. (BTW, this was very obviously Walmart salvage, they had a bunch of reissues Cybersharks and Legacy Buzzsaw and Nightprowler, all of which were higher than retail because they had the wrong original price, except for Nightprowler who was under $6)

Then went over to T.J.Maxx to see if they had anything interesting. They had a ton of GooJitzu toys on clearance, but they aren't really my thing. Thought I was going to leave empty handed, but then something caught my eye. Do you believe in figure fate? It was the Dino Fury Pink Ankylo and Green Tiger (set 2) for $15. What are the chances I'd find the set I needed that same day at a different store? And it's not like they had a bunch of these at either store, it was just one of each between the two stores.

Last stop was Walmart, nothing exciting but I did find a single MOTU Origins Roton on clearance for $25 which is a little strange, these just came out around 2 months ago.

Got some new Black Series. C-3PO was a deep discount purchase, while Kenobi and NED-B came from Target. I adore NED-B, I adored him in the show, and he has a great toy here. I like him a lot.

I also took this specific Kenobi's saber and gave it to my Leia. She needed her saber, and she based hers on Bens. And this Kenobi, in the show, had buried his saber and cut himself off from the force, so him only having his blaster makes sense to me.

[Emerje]

Found a Megablocks MOTU Roton set (with He-man, Battle Cat and Merman) for only $12at Newbury Comics Sunday morning on my way back from Boston. I don't regularly collect them, but as a battle pack it'll look good on its own.

First pic sucked. This one is clearer.

Got my new model kit in the mail! I really need to get some non-anime girl model kits, man.

A few pick ups through a trade a couple weeks ago

I acquired the regular version of Widow Maker at a Con a while back. Nice to get the alt version

Ally Vipers always needed

Haven't posted a haul since the end of November so I've got a few things to share.

AmiAmi:

Nendoroid Undertale Sans



and Papyrus



Pop Up Parade Summer Wars Kazuma Ikezawa



and King Kazma



Go watch Summer Wars, it's amazing! (It's from the director of Digimon the Movie [aka Our War Game] and has a very similar premise)

BBTS:

MOTUO She-Ra and Roboto (finally!)

Also from the local salvage shop they got a bunch of damaged box toys in from Target. Picked up a G.I.Joe Cobra Island exclusive Firefly for $11. I don't collect these, but it's Firefly, he's cool and worth deviating for the price. They had Cobra Island Roadblock, but I don't like his redesign.

Summer wars is really good but before the Internet, you just got on a fairground ride to enter another world...

[Emerje]

Nice, I ordered all of those on Target.com during one of their $25 off $100 a purchase so I'm getting the whole set for $105, basically giving me one free. No idea when they'll actually ship them, though. They're in stock on Amazon, but Target isn't giving a release date, just a vague "Delivered on or shortly after release date".

I had these preordered at the get go and at slightly higher prices than everywhere else due to availability with most sites selling out quiclkly or only having a few avilable £28 a figure.

I cant remember price on the Veneger set -which is pretty much unavailable everywhere here at the moment -I'm sure Hasbro will release DM seperately and Venger on horse at some point tho.

Going to be interesting to see if they do anything other than the main cast of the show in a second wave. Poor convention Drizzt got to be the only RPG D&D figure for a few years until the new film figures were shown

Snakes off of a plane.

Only things I got over Christmas were non-TFs

[D-Maximal_Primal]

These 2 just skirted in as part of 2022, my last 2 of the year

[Starseeker]

Got a redeemed Vader and Hammond Collection Rex and Triceratops!

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Only things I got over Christmas were non-TFs

Oh wow, nostalgia! Back when I still remotely cared about Spider-Man. I owned the original of this one. He and the Black suit Spidey (which had a web pull cord in his chest) were the only two versions of him I owned. The cyborg arm being both very 90's and an aesthetic I like.

Got a redeemed Vader

That's a nice looking figure. When one of my nieces watched Star Wars for the first time. She asked me why isn't Vadar's suit white? Her reasoning being, all "his troopers are dressed in white". By the end of New Hope, when she saw the Tie Fighter pilots were also in black. She reasoned it was because Vadar was also a pilot. I can't really fault her logic.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Got a redeemed Vader and Hammond Collection Rex and Triceratops!

That Rex is awesome. Hope you enjoy her!

This wasp arrived in the mail today!

Annoyingly I still need the red ranger to complete the team, but having a Sentai male yellow ranger is pretty cool. I figure I'll go for regular apocalypse over the age of figure. The fortnite stuff is for using as motu Castle greyskull deco or I might put them in Eternia.

Japan finally relaxed their shipping policies a bit for Canada. So no more "no deal" DHL from Mandarake, but I'm still stuck with EMS. At least it's less expensive and I can avoid the custom fees again.

My Dolfie Dream Hatsune Miku had this custom ensemble for years now.



So it was time for a change of pace.



I pulled the trigger on that Mikuzukin module I wanted for years but I never bought because it was "too expensive." At 16000JPY plus EMS shipping for around 200$CAN total, it seems so at first glance.



Once everything is out of the packaging, I can tell the price is more than justified. In fact, it's rather cheap! There's a wig, shoes, an accessory, and the clothes FEELS like real clothing. The overall quality is through the roof. The socks feels soft to the touch and that dress is very THICK with lots of layers.



The hood was the hardest part to install but once everything are in place, Mikuzukin is GLORIOUS.



That's a look that is super cute, and super sexy at the same time. A short dress with thigh-high socks is always a cultured combo for me. Plus that wolf plushie in her hood is simply adorable.



The back is also not forgotten with that giant bow... If you can see anything with this damn blurry picture.



She's perfect. Just perfect.



Because of her high-heels and big hood, she must bend her knees in order to be able to fit in the display space. She also lean a bit toward the back so that she doesn't faceplant.



Overall, I'm very happy with that set. That's a Grail I can cross off the list!

[Emerje]

That's a nice one, I really like the "red riding hood" design they came up with. Wish they would have made a figma version, would have bought it for sure. Maybe they'll do a figma of "vampire Miku" (even if it is just Toga from MHA with green hair).

That's a nice toga figure here.

And yes, I'd be all over a Mikuzukin Figma.
At least I have the 1/7 figure, who is a beauty.



Oh, and a Mikuzukin Nendoroid would be nice too.

I got my Grand Inquisitor yesterday. He's pretty decent. I think of the Vader and Inquisitor squad, 5th Brother is still by far the best and my favorite, with Vader, Grand, and Reva following them. I'm waiting on 4th sister to go on sale since I know basically nothing about her, but I like the Inquisitor squad enough to try to get them.
