The January Review: 2018

Here we are again, after I fall off in October somewhere; I always come back with dat January Review! This time...at the very end of January! So to speak. Let's just call it January. Trust me.

Doesn't matter; let's jump in to it!

The January Review: Favorites of 2017

Welcome back to the January Review!  I knew this would become a regular thing, because I'm a lazy sack!  Alright, that's not all it is.  Y'all know I gots a kid and blah blah blah - time flies!  I can't cover it all, but thanks to Instagram, I have some (many) pictures of my favorites from throughout 2017.  So here we are in January of 2018, lookin' back.  Join me, won't you?  WON'T YOU?!

Mobile Suit Ensemble: A Little look at some Little Mobile Suits

This is one of those toylines where you find out about it and immediately hunt it down.  In most cases, you come up with nothing. In this case...

Mobile Suit Gundam: ASSAULT KINGDOM...Part 2

Part two in my photo assault on Assault Kingdom!  Assault!  ASSAULT!

Mobile Suit Gundam: ASSAULT KINGDOM...Part 1

The Gundam franchise just can't get away from the assault!  Battle Assault, Assault Kingdom, Gundam Assault Survive, maybe....maybe more.

Today we'll be breaking into two parts and taking a look at what I've managed to snag from the Assault Kingdom series of candy-box figures. So, jump into your cockpit, grab the controls, push forward, and SCREEEAAAAM!!

Tomfoolery After Dark: Blacklight Special Returns Again AGAIN

It's happening again!  If you're unfamiliar with all of this, then simply click on the Blacklight Special tag and take a look at previous installments. 

ACEN 2015: Haul it In

There's a convention near Chicago called Anime Central (Acen).  My friends and I have gone on and off, over the years.  It has changed; we have changed.  One thing has not: I buy things.  I buy a lot of things.  OH MAN LOOK WHAT I GOT OMG

Tomfoolery After Dark: Blacklight Special Returns Again

Welcome back to the Blacklight Special!  If you're unfamiliar with this, then just click on the "blacklight special" tag at the bottom to check out the last two.

Schwagmas Brag/Regular 'Ol Schwag

WHEW!  That was ONE WHOLE YEAR that it took to finish Grayskull.  Some of it was warranted, but most of it was a hold-over from my high school days; where I have a large project looming over my head and I keep running away from it.  C'est la vie!

Now that it's over, I can finally get to some of the junk I've been pushing off to the side.  BUT FIRST...how about an update on my Christmas schwag and the junk I obtained before and around that time?

LOOKIT MAH TREEEE

Merry Christmas and Hanukkah and anything else!  Or, if you don't celebrate any of that: Have a good day.  You know, have a good day, like, ALL the time.  Why save that just for Christmas?

Wait, nevermind that!  Take a look at MAH CURSHTMURSH TUURRRR!!

The Ancient Bowels of My Photobucket: PART TWOOOO

And we're back!  Last time we got through a swath of my photobucket, starting from the original folder ALLL the way back at the beginning.  I stopped around when I got into Joes again, so we'll start there and see what kinda junk I had been taking pictures of, beyond MotUC.

Sprukits: Little Battlers Experience

Hey look, they're trying the Gundam Model thing again!  Except this time, they aren't Gundams...they're LBX: Little Battlers Experience.  Among others.  Lets take a look!

Schwag Brag: I'm Interested In Way Too Many Things

I was waiting to do another one of these when I got enough new things, but....man, I guess I already had been getting new things.  ALL THE TIME.  If you folks wana schedule an intervention, I'm available whenever, man.  Bring donuts.

The Magical Slaphappy Insanity of Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Greetings, folks.  I want to tell you about Mobile Fighter G Gundam.   I also want to cover the toys I managed to get from a snapshot in time when G Gundam toys absolutely covered the toy shelves.

HumAble Models for the HumAble Man

Are you Hume-able?  Well g...good for you?  I guess we all are, if that means you're able to be human.  Which, I assume, is why these things are called HumAble models!  Because they're able to be like humans.  Too much like humans.  I mean, the Gundam ate all my lunchmeat yesterday.  ALL OF IT.  Didn't even make a sandwich.  Sucked it all down like it was.

Further Gundam Nonsense

Had to go digging for these pics!  I had apparently planned to post these to the same site the previous Gundam pics were at, but I never did.  No idea why.

Anyway, these are all figures I obtained in my last trip to Anime Central (Acen, in what...2011?  Yeah, pretty sure that's it), an anime convention.  I make sure to bring a good chunk of cash to grab some much sought after figures and random robots.

Gundam Nonsense

Now, some of you may be under the assumption that I've got a toy obsession.  This is true.  I have many toys.  Sometimes I swim in them like Scrooge McDuck and it causes me great pain, because there are many sharp items.

*ahem* Within that obsession, however, lies sub-obsessions.  One of those is Gundam toys, of which the majority are MSiA, or Mobile Suit in Action.  This is their story.  Names and dates have been changed to protect the identity of the toys.  Wait, no, the names and dates are fine, but I did add captions because toys are hilarious.
