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.

Home: Welcome

Balls Of Steel

For a while there, we had a good thing going. BBTS would effectively put out clearance items, changing daily, and there were a few really...

HEEEEY GIRL, WHATCHA DOIN'?

So back in January or so, I got my first BuzzMOD figure, 2B from Nier: Automata . The thing is that, that one I just kind of ordered...

My Balala....

If you've not noticed, I like to buy new things once in a while to see how competitor products are doing, or to get on the ground floor...

Quit Playing Games With My Heart...

As far as I know, Hiya Toys is a relatively new player on the scene, first starting with some 1/18 stuff and more recently, moving on to...

2B Or Not 2B?

So, one of the advantages of being not on the bleeding edge of collecting is that it gives me a bit of time to react to updates. A very...

You're Such A Poser

Well Happy February everyone.. yes it's halfway through, but life's been busy and all that, with Lunar New Year and other things. While I...

Sensational Trash

You probably noticed I buy a lot o random stuff, because like food I like to experiment with new things and see what makes them tick....

FINISH HIM!

Storm Collectibles is working on several licensed, including Mortal Kombat. I was hoping to get into the series sooner, as prototypes of...

All Hail The Nipple Queen!

If Mai Shiranui was the earliest adopter of the Jiggle, then Taki from Soul Edge/Calibur was the first (and I think the only) adopter of...

Large And In Charge

Jiggle physics is pretty much standard these days, but back in the stone age, SNK pioneered it all when they animated Mai Shiranui for...

500 Snail Shell Studios is slowly becoming a favourite in the 1/12 collecting world, especially if you're not a conservative collector. I...

That Third Kind of Guy..

Storm Collectibles releases for me are incredibly sporadic, where often years go by before a planned figure appearance happens. Well,...

SHINOBI FLASH!!!

While I appreciate a great JRPG, I also appreciate what is best described as "absolute trash". The PS Vita introduced me to several...

STINKFACE!

So, every since I've made friends in the US, I've actually been able to take advantage of the fire sales that BBTS puts on. I just might...

Part 2 of Disappointment

So while Leina was understandably less than perfect, our second target isn't as easily forgiven. I'm not what you'd call a Red Sonja...

LET'S GET NUTS!!!

So.. something odd happened... I bought a Mezco. Though this isn't some spur of the moment thing. Ultraman has actually been on preorder...

She Puts the "Ass" in Assassin

It's been a while, but Snail Shell is still a thing, and going strong. Probably one of the most successful and widely accepted Chinese...

Milk Tease Girl
