Who Says Mondays are Boring? (Look What I Got 2014-06-16)

Who Says Mondays are Boring? It has been a week already but I can never forget what a great Monday I had last week. What happened? Well, I just happened to have a bunch of good stuff in front of me. A figure from Hobby-Frontier and some items from HLJ. Let's check em out.

My 1st ArtFX Statue is Super (Look What I Got 2014-06-09)

Just got my first Kotobukiya ArtFX statue and it's none other that the man of steel himself - the ArtFX - 1/6th Scale Superman: For Tomorrow. Got it from a local hobby shop. It's a bit more costly than it's preorder price, but hey, it's Superman!

Don't Laugh Tony Stark, Iron Patriot Rox Too (Look What I Got 2014-05-19)

Armed and ready! The Eagle has landed!

Last week, I finally got my 2nd Diecast MMS - the Iron Patriot Movie Masterpiece by Hot Toys. I got it from my usual source of collectibles - Figmation. It's great that the owner gave me the honor of having one from the 1st batch of delivery and I get to enjoy the figure early. Join me in the unboxing.

A Super Saiyan In Da House (Look What I Got 2014-05-15)

I just got my Figuarts ZERO - Super Saiyan Vegeta yesterday from Figmation. I'm kinda excited to have the third addition to my Dragon Ball Figuarts collection. The first two being Super Saiyan Son Gokou and Super Saiyan Future Trunks. This figure was released in Japan last month, April 2014. Around the end of the month I presume, so it reached me about two weeks later. Not bad.

My Final POP... For The 1st-Half of this Year (Look What I Got 2014-04-10)

Picking up where I left off on my previous "Look What I Got" post. Here now is POP MAS - Tony Tony Chopper (Horn Point). This is my latest POP acquisition. My second POP MAS and my 44th POP (I'm not gonna be tired of counting them). I got it from Hobby-Frontier less than a month ago. This is gonna be my last POP for the 1st half of this year as my next POP preorder - POP MAS - Marco the Phoenix will be released late-June which I'll probably get my hands on by July.

The Dark Lord and the Pirate King (Look What I Got 2014-04-07)

"Inform the commander that Lord Vader has arrived... along with Luffy... and some decals"

Not more than a month ago, in a country not too far away.... a box was shipped.... A few days later, I received a box from HLJ.  And the contents... at last my very own Darth Vader figure and another addition to my POP collection - the captain of the Strawhats himself, plus a few decals for my Gunplas.

Metal Inside, Metal Outside (Look What I Got 2014-03-24)

Again, as a continuation of my "Look What I Got" updates, here's next.

My March didn't end with just the strawhats but with a couple of 12 inchers. I got two Hot Toys from two different movie franchises, both Marvel characters though. One with metal armor inside the body and one with metal armor outside the body. These two are The Wolverine based on the movie of the same title and War Machine Mark II based on the movie Iron Man 3, though it doesn't really appeared in it. I got them both from a local hobby shop. Kinda painful in the wallet for having to pay two Hot Toys on the same day, but with a sigh of relief and excitement upon checking out the contents of these boxes.

Can't Get Enough of POP Strawhats (Look What I Got 2014-03-18)

Continuing my series of "Look What I Got" updates, here I got two Straw Hat crew POPs - the POP LIMITED - Nami (Mugiwara Ver.) and POP Edition-Z - Roronoa Zoro. I preordered both from Hobby-Frontier and I was able to get my hands on 'em about a month ago. Nami was a late-February release, same as POP Edition-Z - Monkey D. Luffy, while Zoro was released early-March.

Two Unforgettable Nakama (Look What I Got 2014-02-20)

It has been months since the last time I share to you my regular dose of hauls. Just been so busy lately that I haven't been able to update my blog on a regular basis. I do took photos of my every one of them so I'll be posting a series of "Look What I Got" from February to present. Let's start with the two unforgettable characters from One Piece. The POP Neo-DX - Nefertari Vivi and Figuarts ZERO - Portgas D. Ace (Cross Fire - Battle ver.). I got these two about a couple of months ago from one of my favorite online shop - Figmation, at a great deal.

The Phantom Sixth Man (Look What I Got 2014-02-14)

Last Friday, I was happy to have received my first Kuroko No Basuke figure from Hobby Frontier - The Kuroko No Basuke Figure Series - Tetsuya Kuroko by MegaHouse. I'm totally happy about this figure as it really looks close to Tetsuya Kuroko from the series, particularly in the anime. I was just surprised to see that it's kind of small for a 1/8th figure. But come to think of it, Kuroko is actually a small character, so I guess this is fine.

And The Agony of Waiting Ended (Look What I Got 2014-01-24)

I got my dose of happiness before a week ended. Yesterday, I picked up some cool new stuff from Figmation. Some items that I'm really looking forward to. And the agony of waiting ended. Let's check out these new items that I got.

Just Got Two Model Kits from Japan (Look What I Got 2014-01-22)

Two days ago I received another box from Japan early in the morning. A nice way to start the day. And guess what is it.? Well, the box contains two Master Grade kits. Not a Gundam model kits though, but two Figurerise Tiger & Bunny Kits model kits by Bandai. A 1/8 MG Figurerise Wild Tiger and 1/8 MG Figurerise Barnaby Brooks Jr.

Absurdly Expensive Yet Satisfying (Look What I Got 2014-01-20)

I just got my copy of POP Sailing Again - Tony Tony Chopper (Crimin Ver.) JF 2014 Limited Edition from Figmation today. And yeah, I still can't over the fact that I paid about three times it's original price of 3000 yen. That was expected though being a Japan event exclusive. Too bad that I wasn't there to avail it for 3000 yen. I had to rely on third party sellers (or proxy buyers) to get stuff like these.

It's a real headache when they release limited items that I really wanted. In the end, I'm glad that there are sellers to rely on these kind of exclusives. I'm happy to have the second POP Crimin in my collection. My POP Nami Crimin Ver. won't be alone anymore. I hope they release more Crimin Ver., but not limited/exclusives please.

A Huge Box from Japan to End the Day (Look What I Got 2014-01-10)

Just when I thought that a nice day ended because of my new Hot Toys - Tony Stark and Amane Suzuha, I got a new box from Japan via EMS. It came from Hobby Search. I was assuming that this will reach me on Monday, but here it is. What a great way to end the week. Let's check out the contents of the box.

Smaller Than I Expected (Look What I Got 2014-01-10)

Got my 1st Alter figure today from Hobby Frontier, and I was surprised that it was smaller than I expected. Alter's Amane Suzuha & Mountain Bike is also a 1/8th scaled figure but comparing it to my POPs, Amane Suzuha is a bit smaller. But don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed. It really looks stunning in person. Especially the bike. Photos wasn't able to give it justice.

My 2nd Hot Toys Collectible is Another Tony Stark (Look What I Got 2014-01-09)

I just got my 2nd Hot Toys and it's another Tony Stark. My 1st is the Mark XLII Autonomous Prehensile Propulsion Suit Test (a very long figure name isn't it?) which I got from STGCC 2013. This time it's the one that was released last December - The Mechanic. I got this one yesterday from Figmation.

My Last Haul for 2013? (Look What I Got 2013-12-27)

Last Friday, 27th of December, I got a box from HLJ. I never thought my orders that were stored on HLJ's private warehouse would grow up so fast that I had to ask for shipping again. This is my last haul for 2013? Probably not. I just purchased my first RG Gundam last Saturday, so yeah, that will be my last collectible item for 2013.

Just Got Some Early Christmas Gifts (Look What I Got 2013-12-02)

Just got some early Christmas gifts for myself. Last Monday, 2nd of December, I happily received three brown boxes. One from HLJ, one from Hobby Search and one from Figmation. Let's check out the contents.
