Firm Grip


Yay, Photobucket fixed the pageview thing!  Still can't upload, but I'm sure that's next.  Anyway, I'm going through the 'ol albums and finding interesting things.  I think I took this pic for someone asking about the size of the SDCC exclusive Voltron.  This was it.

Whoo!

Always Watching


My buddy over at The Plastic Eyeball did a post recently displaying all his Alphabots.  During whatever conversation we had where they came up, I had expressed interest in them (because they're robots, if you've been keeping up).  Can't remember how long ago this was.  Anyway, he had ordered some for me from the glow-in-the-dark set allowing me to spell my name!

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.

High Five Puddy


Don't leave 'em hangin' man.

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.

Toyless Interlude


I was going through my Photobucket (in my regular visits to see if they've fixed anything yet) and realized that I've got some really random junk pictures when taken out of context.  I thought you chaps might enjoy a good romp around the fine velvet rug of the sitting room that is my Photobucket.

Iron Man 2 Figures (Part 3)


And here's where the toyline started to wind down!  This was around June 2010 up to October.  Everything was getting hard to find, and some of them had to be found for me by friends.  I'm not sure why, but standard procedure states that you MUST over saturate the market with the first and second waves of figures for any movie line.  If you get any other waves, make sure you only stock them once or twice, then go back to stocking the first wave.  Then, when nobody wants those AT ALL, put out all the brand new stuff straight to clearance.
