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 Wonderful 80s

As I write this, the world awaits the theatrical release of The Flash movie, which basically will erase the DCEU as we know it....

Naval Commander on Deck!

I guess I keep forgetting how time passes on, and that Transformers Armada, released by in the early 2000s, is now considered a retro...

A Royal Pain In The Rear....

Well folks, it too literal years, but she's here... the Lancer Artoria Figma has finally been released, and I was ecstatic to crack this...

She Bangs!

You win some, you lose some. A few months ago, Popcultcha, a store in Australia, was having a clearance sale, and so I took a look at the...

Come On, Alleyne

A few weeks, Anime North happened, and as things usually go most of the Dealer's Room was a waste of time. But, also as things go, I...

It's Science, Bitch!

Well, May was a busy month, and I fell behind on stuff... stupid Tears of the Kingdom. But, hey, I can't complain about a game unless I...

Road Rage

Another one of my sheer boredom purchases. I'd heard rumblings about this War Dawn 2 Pack a few weeks ago, but as things go my interest...

Third Time's The Charm!

Going to be another pretty quick one. I happened to come across a loose MP 35 Grapple on Facebook Marketplace. In general, my thoughts on...

Speak Softly And Carry A Big Stick

Its always fun finding an older figure for less than MSRP, especially if it's one that generally you wouldn't see for at that price. Fate...

I Want To Be Neenja!

Well, maybe not THAT old school, but by today's standards, it might as well be Prehistoric. So a few weekends ago, I decided t go to a...

Take Me To The Candy Shop...

About.. 20 years ago, I think, Hasbro released G1 Transformer Reissues along side the Takara Tomy Encore series. Around here, these...

Can You Feel.. The Love Tonight?

So the second items that I obtained from Singapore is a bit more expected in that it's where I'd normally get these from anyway. I am...

Attack on Titan

Well, it happened - my MP57 Skyfire finally arrived. Believe it or not, I actually preordered mine at Dewtoys in Singapore when the...

Here Comes The Bride... Again.

So it's no surprise that I tend to keep an eye out for Fate Figma because in general, if you miss that preorder window there's a very...

Arachnophobia

As I become more and more experienced in the Third Party Transformers market, I'm seeing more and more interesting things, including the...

I Don't Think He Can Read....

From a personality perspective, Gilgamesh from the Fate universe is one of my favourites. The guy just out right does not care what...

Balls of Steel

As Event Exclusives are a good opportunity to get horribly overpriced aftermarket figures for a level price, I took advantage of Android...

This Isn't Even My Final Form....

So, the Summer 2022 Dragonball Event Exclusive figures have finally started to ship. I got a few, as a typically do, this time around...

Hippity Hop

My most recent Anime Export package was actually the cumulation of about 4 months of preorders, as I really wanted to get my Maguire...
