Fan Event Attendance - 002

Yes, I was there the 20th of January at the Royal Botanical Gardens and I had a great time looking around for some cool stuff with the best deal and reasonable price! I got a Transformers Masterpiece by Takara and I can't wait to show this as soon as I make that transition from Marvel. The overall ToyCon experience was like TFCon! Though there was a whole row of Masters of the Universe and Star Wars in there but the whole place was dominated by tables of Transformers toys. Hopefully the March ToyCon will be a little different. Hopefully we see some collectible statues and we need some Figma and Figuarts toys. There should be someone out there selling these Japanese toys that can bring to these kind of events. Anyways, here are some photos.

Spot the Difference

This is more like a "spot the defect" game than the spot the difference type that some folks play, but this here is a real story of just how toy companies are not immune to big errors when it comes to creating and packaging their toys. So it is really important to keep those receipts. By looking at these two Leonardos, it shouldn't take you 5 seconds to spot the difference.

(camera distance, picture quality- not part of the game)

Both these Leonardos are brand new and still inside these packages. Their heads and their feet may be angled slightly different from one another but that is not the answer I'm looking for. If you still can't find it you might as well check out my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles review at:

...think it through, and come back here.

Grinchy Holiday Season

I don't think I can be a real Grinch this holiday season, cause I'm just really kind to animals and too generous with receiving gifts, but there are entities in this world that have the potential for being holiday-killers. Thus, let me summon them and get them to do this job for me.

And what a way to unleash them on what is believed to be a lucky day of this year, December 12, 2012 (12/12/12)!

Those doomsayers warned us of another end of the world event, well... I'm still waiting, but these guys are ready for some world-ending mayhem.

This month is purely packed with evil mutants, killer aliens and mad scientists!

Just come visit Combollector's Action Figure Collection.

Have a safe and secure holiday!

 

 

The Dark Knight Rises DVD and Blu-Ray, Plus A Figurine

You've probably seen the Dark Knight Rises in stores now. I got mine on both DVD and Blu-Ray, plus this little 2.5-inch action figure. It's already mounted to its stand though, so you don't have to worry about not having it able to stand with its tiny feet.

I can't wait to watch this on Blu-Ray high-definition, so I got to go!

This Week's New Stuff - 002

It's been awhile I haven't got into a toy shopping spree, but this week I bought two really fantastic figures that I had been waiting to come out.


Marvel Select Storm

As a Marvel Select collector, I have to grab this MS Storm and check out all her features. The paint detail and sculpt looks nice yet she seem to have less articulation, ...but I'll be talking about her real soon- probably next year (booo!). Yeah, I have to finish reviewing some old (and awesome) Marvel Select and Legends action figures that I have already planned for December.



K.I.T.T.

Now this here is what I'm most excited about! Along with Storm, this Knight Rider car also came out this week and I can't wait to unbox it. I can assure you that this one here is going to be really dope.



MOTUC Battle Cat

Here's another sweet ride and it's all the way from Eternia; it's the Battle Cat! Now this Battle Cat has been around for quite some time now. It's not really a new release this week, but just one of my newest purchases. As soon as I get all the major characters of the Masters of the Universe Classic toylines, then I'll start talking each and everyone of them on my other blog.

So it is going to be a busy 2013 for me. I'm just hoping I could cover all the new and exciting releases and those previously released action figures that I have been wanting to have. It's going to a non-stop feature of action figures.
