Welcome to Utopia...

.. if you're into rants about toys new and oldish.

This is Collectors Haven, somewhere I've decided to start sharing my analysis on the many, many, random toy purchases of mine. Very much Japanese centric, but you never know what'll show up.

Mayonetta

So I'm a bit behind on this one - unfortunately the one I received at the start of the year was a bit damaged out the gate. Fortunately,...

I Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog

So MP Hound came out a while ago, and I remember skipping him because the MSRP made me feel just a bit on the ill side. Time passed, he...

Sword Swallower

A little while back, I took a look at Ronin from the Falslander line. As a posing figure, Ronin left much to be desired., but it...

Dancing Queen

While browsing Facebook Marketplace, I stumbled upon this, the Pop Up Parade version of Saber Lily: Second Ascension. This particular...

A few new things rolling in, and I figured it was a good time to take a quick look at the latest Street Fighter entry into the Pop Up...

Biggie Smalls

The most recent Masterpiece Transformer, Trailbreaker, was released in Japan late 2022, and my copy actually just arrived quite recently....

The preorder window for the Beast Gohan is now upon us, so it's probably a good time for me to actually open this one up and take a quick...

"I'm A Little Teapot..."

A random figure that I came across on Facebook Marketplace, the S.H. Figuarts Street Fighter V - Sagat. It wasn't complete (no...

The Royal Treatment

So over the past summer, the latest Dragonball Super move, titled Super Hero, was released and along with it was, of course, some...
