Thanks frin! Gotta ward off the bday depression, right? ^_^ This Play Arts Kai Rorschach is fucking amazing. The fact that you have to build the display base yourself when it's a $100+ figure (now closer to $300 on the secondary market) is complete bs and I'm throwing these parts in the trash, but the figure itself is unparalleled. I'm glad to find the joints are tight and there's no fear of breakage, as my previous Play Arts Kai purchases have all had loose wobbly feeble joints and felt extremely cheap despite the exorbitant price-tag. The Scarlet Gospels is like the AvP of the Barker-verse. That sounds bad lol, but it's Pinhead from Hellraiser vs. Henry D'Amour, the supernatural investigator from Lord of Illusions. I read the first couple chapters and it seems pretty over the top; okay ridiculously over the top, but still like that old Barker goodness. It should be a fun time. I love Henry D'Amour. He's been a recurring character for Barker. I like the Scott Bakula movie of Lord of illusions a lot. I'll have to pick that up.

Hope your Ulitmate City Hunter is from the newer release waves. The cover for the gauntlet computer was prone to break off. They did the hinge really stupidly.

No pics, but the Disney Store is selling all of their 6" die cast Star Wars figures for $5.99. Got Phasma and a stormtrooper squad leader or whoever the guy with the red shoulder flap is. There were a ton of Rogue One figures, and lots of Finn and Rey, some Kylo (with and without mask), some regular troopers. Almost got a death trooper, but I barely remember them at all in the movie.

Took some fiddling with to get Jango to stay like that, almost had to glue the stand in place. The HT Ancient was a grail for a long time, so glad to finally get it.
The gf calls the Jungle Hunter pose... To Get to The Choppa Or not lol

Ya they are awesome together. Baze has sone issues with holding the gun up but thats from the length of the hose going from gun to backpack. I'd go back and check if theyre their still. They sell on CL here for 60-75 each.

Damn. I was just back at that mall today, but didn't go into any stores. It's an outdoor mall and I took the dog there to walk around and tire her out. Oh, yeah. We got a dog. Her name's Mitzi. She's 7. Adopted her after her owner passed. She's a Corgi/Chihuahua mix.

I took care of my first Kramer guitar want a while back. UPS dropped this off today. It's another 80s relic that I've wanted since I first saw one. It's an electric/acoustic, designed at the time by Danny Ferrington for Kramer. Has a built-in volume/EQ on the side. Has the neck of an electric and has a light, shallow body. Fuckin' love it.

Got McFozlove's Michonne #2 for 8 bucks at Target today. As always, a killer sculpt. Also, as always, totally worthless as anything but a cheap plastic statue. Why even give her movement in 1 leg, a shoulder, waist and neck? She can only hold 1 conceivable pose.
Still on the hunt for Moon Knight.

I managed to get the Mezco 1:12 BvS Batman for under $70. It was used and missing the grapnel gun and one of three batarangs, but lately this one's going for no less than $130, so it was totally worth it to me to miss out on those accessories I probably wouldn't have posed it with anyway. It's such an awesome figure. The costume lends itself to the format so well and makes a case for cloth outfits. the likeness is insane for the scale and seeing no cut joints to break up the batsuit makes it even more life-like. Can't wait to get some much better photos in natural light.

I was actually at Target last night right before they closed, so I decided to stick around for the Force Friday "Bring Your Rey Game" event. It was actually pretty fun. There was a line of maybe 5 people back by the electronics with all the new Star Wars on shelves behind a row of carts. They had a giant flatscreen playing The Force Awakens, staff people were handing out buttons and raffle tickets (they were giving away gigantic plush Porgs, those little gerbil critters from The Last Jedi that are cute when they're little but terrifying when they're 4 feet tall). At midnight they moved the carts and since everyone in front of me went straight for the Funko Pops I went to the Black Series figures and grabbed Hera Syndulla, Thrawn, and Grumpy Old Hermit Luke. They also had the Black Series vehicles, Luke's speeder and Rey's speeder which both looked great, but the boxes were huge and I didn't want to spend that much cash. I put the figures in my basket along with the laundry detergent and Clif bars and La Croix water I went to Target for in the first place and headed to the checkout before they announced the raffle winners. I had a 2 in 6 chance of winning one of those giant plush things, pretty good odds, so if my number was a winner hopefully they gave it to someone who wanted it.
Anyhoo, it was a smooth event. They had plenty of stuff on hand for everyone (at least 3 cases of the Black Series figures) so nobody was disappointed because the first person in line got the only complete set. I remember the midnight launch for TFA stuff was a complete disaster, but at my Target it went really well this year.
And the figures I grabbed are awesome. Hera and Thrawn are great, and Luke is also really cool even though his soft goods cloak is annoying and he doesn't come with any accessories other than the little bits of food stuck in his beard.

They'll be everywhere in a week or so. It's the second wave that might be tougher to get.

Wifespar wanted to do some shopping, so while she was looking at clothes I checked out the Disney Store. They were having an additional 40% off clearance stuff. The Selects were already marked down, so with the extra off I got Drax, Quill, Groot, and Agent Venom for $12 each. They also had the remaining die-cast 6" Star Wars still marked at $5.99, so 40% off of that, and I managed to find both Baze and Chirrut. The 10" premium figures were marked at $7.99, so got Kylo Ren and a Death Trooper for about $4.80 each. Only wish they'd had the Gamora/Rocket Select to round out the series. I'll have to find it somewhere now. Killer savings today on some great shit.
