Marvel Chess Collection: A Collection In Progress

I started playing the game of chess back when I was a sophomore. It was in those times when action figures and collectibles aren't really my thing. I considered it as one of my good talents and I've joined a few competitive chess events when I was in college.

Student life was over, got a job and slowly lost interest in the game. I got into collecting action figures... and found this! As simple as they look, for me- it is like two hobbies merged into one.

When Cheap Plastic Meets Stiffed Joint

Do you know what happens to a cheap plastic when it got that hard-to-bend stiffed joint?! It BREAKS!

I was about to take some photos on the Marvel Legends Jubilee Build-A-Figure... then this happened. It totally made my day!

Street Fighter Bishoujo: Cammy

Of all the sci-fi and fantasy or video game vixens that Kotobukiya has turned and translated into their own Japanese anime-type Bishoujo statues, Cammy is probably the easiest one to create. I mean, look at her! She got all the elements to be already a Bishoujo- a set of large lovely eyes and a body or outfit that may get you warned for bringing it home to your wife, to the point where reimagining her is not quite of a strain. Dammit! Why does she have to wear that? Though I like her; she is brave and bold having no fear showing every single abilities and assets she got. This is the kind of woman I salute!

When the world itself is becoming into a huge street fight, we need women like Cammy.

The Walking Dead (Season 4) Limited Edition DVD

A "Key" key ring for my keys could actually make all my friends wonder why I'm bringing this big weird-shaped bronze key around me and what is it for. The temptation to tell a lie especially to those who aren't fans of the show is there; that I got it from the actual Walking Dead set!..., but of course why would I do that when we got them all over at Wal-Mart.

A Gift To Self: The Combollector Turned Two

Now this is the perfect gift to a blogsite that has been existing for already two years. This is the SDCC 2014 Exclusive Thanos Imperative Box Set!

Happy 2nd Blog Birthday! Action figure reviews and photos on its way.

DC Comics Bombshells: Harley Quinn

Mr. J would probably be blind or stupid not to fall for Ms. Quinn this time. Having that 60's pin-up girl look or theme, this sexy psycho isn't clowning around anymore. Well, I mean... there is a bit of that clowning around but it's more into like- "hey, ya like what ya seeing?" Even the world's greatest detective wouldn't identify this as a joke or a threat. This made me want to get this beautiful DC Collectibles statue cause it's a Harley Quinn unlike anything I've seen before!

SDCC 2014 Feature: The Upcoming Marvel Legends Figures

Here are photos taken at the San Diego Comic Con 2014 courtesy of Marvel Toy News and it's from Hasbro's Marvel Legends Booth! I believe in 2015 or probably before the end of this year, we will be getting a lot of these essential Marvel characters in action figures... with most of them (of course) being Avengers-related to tie them up with the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. And so I can't wait for these figures show up!

Coming To Combo

Hey, ...errr. You know those guys that fly faster than a credit card charging you with your most recent bill? Or do you know those guys that probably laced their fingers with a trillion warheads ready to send this planet back to the Stone Age?? I think you probably know them by their "super-quick" colour-changing hair that may get every hairdressers in town astonished. You know them turning mountains into plains, cities into ashes, and being pitted like a dozen times against those American brands like Superman and the Hulk inside our wildest, geekiest dreams!

Well finally, they are coming to Combo's Action Figure Collection anytime soon... in joints and plastics, of course.

Fan Event Attendance 007: Niagara Falls Comic Con 2014

This is my second time to be at the Niagara Falls Comic Convention (June 6-8, 2014) and the amount of people attending this event is still sizeable. Still plenty of booths to choose from, a lot of interesting celebrities, and the cosplayers are fun to watch.
