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.

The Finer Things In Life....

Unsurprisingly, I'm a bit more in touch with collectibles based on Female characters, which includes Transformers. A few years ago, when...

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...

It's The Deep!

So I have a habit of buying random things, but sometimes, even I can't recall the logic in that moment of madness. Take this figure for...

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...

Gobble Gobble

I'm a bit behind in opening them, but the Mainline Transformer Legacy: United figures are still rolling in, though I don't think I've...

When Nature Calls

When it comes to MP figures, vehicle based ones always get priority. The Beast era stuff isn't terrible per say, but from an engineering...

Is There Any Other Way I Can Pay?

I'm definitely not a purist in the collecting game, and I'll randomly give things a try even if it does end up being less than stellar....

This Is The Way

Despite my fitting in the demographic, I'm actually not much of a Star Wars fan. Don't get me wrong - it's not like I grew up with...

Family Guy

I've been playing fighting games since Street Fighter 2. I'm... competent overall, but generally play better with Charge characters, even...

Return of the Raging Demon

A lot has happened in the Street Fighter world in the past month. SF6 started getting new character announcements, with the return of...

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...

Eternal Pegwarmers

Marvel-Ass

To say that The Marvels was a poorly received movie is putting it politely. From what I can see, people either disliked it, or outright...

That BBL Drizzy

While there was a lot of things people loved about No Way Home, there is no doubt that the appearance of previous live action stars ranks...

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...

Riding Him Like The Village Bicycle

With the passage of time comes the delivery of more Transformers figures. Recently, Deluxe Chromia from the Legacy United line was...

Look What The Cat Dragged In

Back on track with stuff I did mean to buy, one the more recent figures I've had shipped is the Revoltech Amazing Yamagucchi Arkham...

CLATUU! VERATA! NICTUU!

Second of two swaps was for Figma 558 Princess Connect! Re: Dive. - Karyl. So while I in general did not know anything about this figure...
