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.

In The Jungle, The Quiet Jungle....

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...
