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.

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...

As the school year comes to a close, I've had a chance to look at two figures, both of which I THOUGHT would be good, or at least decent,...

LET'S GET NUTS!!!

Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!

I love local marketplaces. A good portion of the stuff I've found over the years is from random spots across Canada, because the right...

Love and Blunder

The Box Office hasn't been particularly kind to superhero movies as of late, even tried and true. One example of the epic collapse is...

In The Jungle, The Quiet Jungle....

Nobody Messes With The Bad Guy!

Forget Simu Liu - while his performance wasn't terrible in Shang Chi, he's got a long way to grow as an actor. There's also the growing...
