  • BIONICLE 7136 Skrall
  • Transformers Combiner Wars Blades
  • Transformers Combiner Wars First Aid
  • Transformers Combiner Wars Rook
  • Transformers Combiner Wars Streetwise
  • BIONICLE SDCC Transparent Neon Green Skull Scorpio Mask
  • Nintendo Amiibo Palutena

  • S.H. Figuarts Hulk
  • S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Marika Peach Energy Arms

Yayyy, I finished the Stars! ...In spite of how not great they are! :P But I don't have to worry about them anymore, so maybe will move on to finishing 2015 now. Especially with the second wave releasing and having acquired that SDCC mask. Which is very pretty and I'm not pleased with how much I spent for it. Which I can't say for...

 

Ugh, Amiibo. I jumped the gun when it was announced that Dark Pit would be a Best Buy exclusive and bought a Japanese Black Pit that day. Unfortunately I did so after the prices had risen a little bit, thinking they probably wouldn't drop back. I was wrong. So I do definitely really regret what I spent. On the brighter side, I got a Palutena from Amazon despite her exclusivity! She was pretty easy to get even though I didn't think she would be at all. So not bad there. And she looks great.

 

I also finished Defensor. Since two of these are just remolds and one just a repaint, they Protectobot limbs aren't that exciting.. Except Rook. Rook is all sorts of awesome. Even if he gets swapped out for a Groove should Hasbro release him, I won't be mad I have him.

 

Then there's the Figuarts. Oh Bandai and Bluefin... Yoshi's domestic release finally, finally happened. And Bluefin, in my opinion, really did something I don't like with it. A lot of the Japanese retailers gave out a 1-Up Mushroom and effect parts with Yoshi. Bluefin decided to give those away at SDCC instead. Maybe they didn't have enough so they thought it was the best way to handle it, but I do wish I had gotten one or that they would have at least communicated to us that we wouldn't. Because two months of silence on Yoshi until he magically shipped was more than enough time for the info of the mushroom's existence to spread and thus expect to receive one as well. :/ Anywho... Next wave of Marvel stuff hit as well. Cap impressed me a lot solely just for being able to put his shield on his back, unlike the Figma. Love his look. And Hulk is magnificent! He's so hefty and wonderfully poseable. Finally Marika is the next step in finishing Gaim. Finally Gaim's only female Rider is here, with some much needed color diversity.

I was also able to grab Dark Pit and Palutena. But since I already imported Palutena the Amazon one is for a friend.

 

As soon as he gets a hold of one of the ones I want.

I imported both Dark Pit and Palutena and I'm glad I did, because I've either been too sick or too busy working whenever they put them online.

 

Stupid kids, always needing my attention. :(

The figuarts Avengers are looking pretty sweet. There's some stuff I don't particularly like about them (some of the joints just look odd) but they look pretty great overall. Also unlike max factory they're kind of releasing them in a timely fashion. They barely showed the painted figma Hulk this wonfes...I don't think I'll get any (so many riders to buy) but they look great.

 

Speaking of riders, Marika looks pretty neat. Unfortunately I won't be getting mine til like september since I had her in an order with an august twe release...Didn't really feel like it was worth paying shipping from n-y twice just for one figure. On the other hand, maybe by september I'll have actually watched Gaim...Still, she looks great! Her design is among my favorites from that series. Love the metallic pink and the 'soda' parts, and having more female Riders is always nice. Looking forward to getting her.

Heh hope he does.

Glad you managed to get them though. :)

The Avengers guys are kind of scratching a long, long, loooong held itch. I believe as a kid I only ever owned one Marvel toy. Some random Cyclops with a disk shooter. Yet I've always liked Marvel and its properties. Hasbro's 6" scale has tempted me to cherry pick for a few years now, but I held back. Since Figuarts are something I've already been collecting... They fit in better. And they're far fewer in number. I'm really liking them.

 

Solid thinking on that shipping though. I have a few orders with them in the coming months that I combined just for that. My fault for preordering as soon as things are listed heh.

 

And you better have watched it by then. :P

Dark Pit's amiibo is completely amazing and it's a perfect representation of my favorite character in Uprising, and my main in Smash.

 

(Not gonna get more amiibo though, don't wanna leap headfirst into the abyss... At least I hope I don't.)

I'm getting there! Just need to watch these 16 episodes of the original series I have left, and Amazon, and I'll start on Gaim. (Which really is probably kind of a terrible idea when I consider how hooked I am on figuarts and how many there are from Gaim, not to mention how expensive they are, but what the heck, gotta watch these dancing fruit riders)
