Two boxes this time

Nice Gundams!

On my end, I got a nice Kagamine Rin figure.



But the queen of this haul is my first ever Kikipop, My School P-Chan.




This is cuteness incarnate! So adorable and quite dense and high quality. I was lucky enough to get her at the regular MSRP of 25K yen. Pricey, yes, but no regrets.

I'd preordered the new super seven he-man retro tv figures and they are now available in shops, so whilst I'm waiting on them I picked up the one that preorders sold out of...

The initial online photos looked bad for she-ra, it then looked T have changes made yet sadly the released versions face is pretty bad. After having the luxury of choosing best paint from them being on store shelves, one won out (other had a boob mole...the other white on gold paint). The light was reflective off the packaging and mine has a eyebrow lighter than the other. That's not really a problem, as unlike the fixed version of the figure on back of the packaging, her skin is hotdog colored. Then the accessories (that are thoughtfully protected in a little bag) that cant be seen clearly, her shield has white paint smear on it and the blue highlight isn't up to scratch. So I got a she-sucks figure that is double the price of super 7's savage land thundercats figures, though they lack the punching action.

Even better, the from toy to toon thing is funny what with it showing a pale skinned She-ra with a longer cape saying that he toy was never an accurate version until now.

Fortunately the skeletor looks great and he-man suits hotdog skin coloring (Hulk Hogan tshirt available as an add on down the line?...)

For the Spraytan of Grayskull!

I've been neglecting this section lately, even though I've only had one thing to post.

This finally arrived from Good Smile Shop:


(Obviously not my picture)

figma Persona 5 protagonist in school uniform. It shipped December 26 and didn't show up until January 4, well over a week for EMS which should only take a few days and long after my previous figure arrived. I really don't understand what GSS is doing with their shipping, everything seems to be random whether it ships from Japan or the USA. They just announced the next set of exclusives for Wonder Festival 2019 Winter and again some, like the new figma Snow Princess Miku (the only thing I want this time), ships out of the US, but the repainted Bride and Groom "noir" are shipping out of Japan. The GSS exclusive Magical Snow Miku is also shipping out of Japan and they've raised the shipping rates this year again after they cut them in half a few years ago. Domestic is still $9, but now out of Japan EMS is $18 (twice what it had been) and SAL (a new option) is $13! Granted, these are flat rate prices so you can buy multiples for the same price, but that's way too much for SAL if you're only buying one item!

Been a minute since I've wandered over here. Got a little something that rocks



I have to say, I'm mega impressed.


EDIT: more pics here.

[wilcosu35]

Got a bag as well

[-Kanrabat-]

One of my most sought after grail finally arrived.

DOLLFIE DREAM SISTER KAGAMINE RIN!



That was one hell of a lucky Mandrake find. Furthermore, NO CUSTOMS! God I LOVE Mandrake for that. Unfortunately, she's not entirely paid off. So she will remain boxed until then. This will be 4 to 8 weeks of pure agony! So I guess some Siege leaders will have to wait for a bit...

Something from Walmart clearance toy aisle.

I don't really collect superhero figures, but for $5 why wouldn't I stick a cool Iron-man on my shelf? They also had a bunch of Red Skulls, too. Maybe I'll grab a couple of those if they're still there this weekend since they have alternate masked goon heads.

Also grabbed this, also for $5. Just wish they were shaped more like an arcade cabinet and not so stubby.

Still, Joust for $5, why not?

Not sure if I'd call this a haul, but I got a hella lil thang.



Super neat

So since that post at the end of January I've now picked up three Red Skull figures, the most recent Wednesday, all for $5 each.

Also I was wondering why after combining two fairly small AmiAmi orders into one order caused the shipping to jump out of registered SAL range.

20190207_051857.jpg

Excessive much? I've received much tighter packed orders in much smaller boxes from them before. Talk about overkill.

Anyway, yeah, other new item is a Grandista Naruto prize figure. Was supposed to be out in early December, but it got delayed until mid January.

It's 2 boxes today

The bill is paid and I can finally call this Dollfie Dream Sister Kagamine Rin truly my own.

I'm really impressed by the overall quality and DAMN she is HUGE!
And now, the quest to get a Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku begin...

You could build some custom shelves afixed to a whole wall. Like 1½" deep and 1½ minifig appart in hight. This may be a problem for dusting but you'll have a whole minifig textured wall. This thing could be GLORIOUS!

I've been looking into small display cases with glass front. They're shallow and can be wall-mounted, so ideal for minifigures. It's not something will be happening soon, because i still need to renovate the house (and it needs a lot of renovating, basically everything).

Lots of expensive/extensive work ahead!
Those display cases sound like the right thing to use. Once you are completely set up, be sure to post pictures!

And now my army is complete

[wilcosu35]

Not quite a toy, but still..

[wilcosu35]

Today a box arrived.

That Mustang look pretty boss and well executed in Lego form.

It's a lot better looking than the previous one, the DB5, which was all angular instead of curvy. To be fair, it has a very difficult shape.
