I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
I have three NECA Gremlins* and one of them keeps falling over. They're all on stands, which are just those basic NECA made discs that have a peg of feet on them. The other two are fine. How do I solve that issue? Should I just buy some of those stands that grab the figure?



*Technically it's four because I have Greta but I didn't open it yet because I don't know where I'm going to display it.

I was in Target tonight and I saw a white McFarlane Warhammer Battle Sister toy. I was going to get it because it looked interesting and I worked out that it was some kind of chase variant. The register ended up beeping out that it was street dated for August(?) and I couldn't actually get it. I'm annoyed because not being able to get it makes it far more notable to me than if I had just been able to get it.

Yeah I have no idea. This Target has had the line for months and people have been finding the white one specifically for at least a little bit from the internet. Its dumb but I'm annoyed I couldn't get the apparently super rare one I had in my hand for reasons of ???. Just gonna tell myself it doesn't fit my Sailor Moon/Godzilla/Pokemon dominated toy collection.

Hasbro had some good restock yesterday. Grabbed hunter and cross hair, and transformers smokescreen because he's such a cool classic looking figure.

Stumbled upon Origin's battle cat at a department store while I was out looking for the new Galvatron (found Tracks too!), just had one in stock so it was fated! They had triklops and Ram Man also, was super tempted to get them, but if I do I'll want Man E faces and trap jaw too, and then I'll want beastman and mer man, and then i'll need man at arms and so on. I've got two shelves for my classics stuff on display and that's not enough to put all of them out, so I'm just going to try to get panthor and Teela for this line and let it rest at that.


These are all really awesome, I especially dig the Astral Plane Lulu and your glow in the dark Eleking.

Thanks! They are fun to deal with. I found out very early that glitter vinyl is actually translucent, When I had these gold glitter Lulus made I had them do it in a very, very light purple to give a slightly ethereal color. For the Astral Plane Lulu I used clear paints on her.



edit: here's my favorite photo I took of the clear Lulu the day after I picked her up on a trip to Japan.



edit 2: Clear vinyl is very particular to make- if there is too much humidity in the air they turn cloudy. I was really happy to find that the company I use to do the pour & pull has a climate controlled work area. I was thinking originally I'd have to wait to order any clear figures during the winter.

Picked up Skelegod at Target today... If the rest of the line is this good I'm in trouble! They did an amazing job on this figure. He's huge with excellent paint apps and a ton of personality. Also his cape is actually THREE separate capes together to make a neat layered look. All cloth too.

My only complaint is the ankles are a little lose on mine. Other than that he's great.

Soul of Chogokin GX-100 was finally shown off and given a release date: GAIKING and DAIKUMARYU! Lots of gimmicks, and Daijumaryu is 75cm (29.5") long.

Coming mid December for :siren: ¥82,500 :siren:

I had the original die cast version when I was a kid but at that size and price the nostalgia isn't strong enough to get this thing. Super neat though.

Here's the 90 minute debut video with people talking history of the line, showing off a bunch of stuff etc. As usual for these events its long winded as hell. At around the 1 hour mark you can get into the original Gaiking toys and then onto the big boy where they show it off in person.

Season 2 Mando finally announced. Seems to be chrome plated this time.

Comes with the Darksaber, spear, and unmasked head. S2 version of his armor (minor changes on the legs.)

Deluxe version comes with some saddlebags for him to carry and Boba's armor.


Photos are only on their FB right now and that doesn't embed, and I don't want to rehost them.

I had the original two-in-one release of him as kid too, he's one of my all time favourite Super Robots and I'd really love to have this but at that price I don't know...

Next year is Mazinger's 50th birthday, and I'm expecting bandai's going to make some utter insanity for it that I need to start saving money for now (plus my hopes that they'll start doing DC's of Getter Robo G next too).
