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.

Enter The Copy Ninja!

One of my favourite characters in the Naruto franchise is Kakashi Sensei, though to be fair every character is so damaged in one way or...

The Chilling Sound of Your Doom!

A little while ago, a fellow collector was kind enough to gift me a S.H. Figuarts Cooler from Dragonball Z, specifically the two anime...

Did Anyone Ask for a Mopey Ninja?

Next up is one Sasuke Uchiha, who was at one time supposed to the Chosen One, and while he didn't end up doing too badly, he certainly...

THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!

I was exposed to the world of Naruto when the anime came along. It was during my University years where my habits of sitting and watching...

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...

FINALLY... the light at the end of the Dragonball tunnel. All caught up until the Super Hero figures show up, which may take a while...

Double Mint, Double Mint GUM!

It's the light at the end of the tunnel... finally. So I got around to opening these two - Android 17 and 18, specifically from their...

Ooooooo...I'm Blinded By The Lights!

So I recently received a few Dragonball Figuarts figures from my US brother from another mother. A bit slower than most, but at the same...

It's Catch Up Time!

May 2022 was rough... real rough. Just when I thought I got things in order so I could carry on with my life, which included some quality...

"You Don't Turn Your Back... On Family"

Yeah... wrong family movie, but it's what I had off the top of my head. Now, I LOVED ScarJo's run as Black Widow, but even I though that...

Base Gokus Matter!

So as I mentioned when I wrote about SSJ3 Goku, Bandai did a few other interesting things in 2021 to appease Dragonball collectors. There...

In The Name of the Moon.....

I've always appreciated Sailor Moon as a series, setting the precedence for Magical Girl anime ever since its debut in 1992. Character...

Himbo Goku

Long, luscious hair. Perfectly waxed eyebrows. A doll like complexion. Not particularly smart. That's Himbo Goku, the strongest solo Goku...

"Let me put you on hold..."

My favourite part of the MCU is without a doubt Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow herself. I've always been intrigued by her character,...

Golden Dreams...

Frieza (or apparently, Freeza) is one of my favourite Dragonball villains. He truly is a complete dick, and he honestly doesn't care -...

'Whis' Sounds About Right

So... if Beerus was probably one of the better made 1.0 figures, then I guess it's no surprise that Whis, his attendant, is probably one...

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty....

In recent weeks, the Summer Event Exclusives from the Dragonball lineup started showing up to the homes of collectors. Of the four...

What's a Chi Chi?

Continuing with my recent Dragonball haul, we have Kid Era Chi Chi. Chi Chi is... an interesting character. Well, at least she started...

Piccolo and Gohan - Fashionably Late

Very few anime fans have not heard of Dragonball, and even fewer have never watched at least part of an episode. Along with Sailor Moon,...
