Listen to My Story...

Arlens & The Victorious Vixens Another one of these, eh? Yes! That's right! It's July! It's one of those TuTs that focuses on my personal top gals... my Main 4, to be exact. And while the previous installment with 'Personal' includes other gals, this time around, I'll keep it exclusive, which isn't a bad thing at all. I'm sure no one is complaining. So, celebrating July, let's get into the Vixens, shall we? @renemicheletti Jessica Drew is the one gal that will get a lot of at

It's no surprise that I am a huge fan of Funko POPs. I don't think I've done these before. It's a "wishlist" of POPs that have already been released (or will be). I'll also go over some 'rumor mill' POPs that I am interested in that may find their way to my collection! But without further ado, let's get into it! The funniest thing is that there are PLENTY of Elsa POPs that have been repackaged on different sets and/or given an 'exclusive' sticker and considered a different PO

Another very different but familiar Spidey is coming into the collection! Another gift from my girlfriend, and she's very awesome for making sure this one gets on my Spider-Verse wall! So enough talk! Let's review! The Sketch series is a nice little series that Funko has for certain POPs. Doubt I'll get any more, but I'm pretty happy with this one. A bobblehead! As I have mentioned time and time again, Funko has a recipe when it comes to Spider-Man POPs, and for the most part

Supergirl's New Fate It's a special month for DC! It's a special time for the Woman of Tomorrow! So in celebration of DCU, let's go ahead and take a look at some of the DC DiDs' finest moments, shall we? @deckenz Yes. It's because of this gal we are celebrating DC this month. Such a spunky gal, eh? @Yes-I-DiD I highly doubt any of these are going to happen in the movie, but we know for damn sure that after it comes out, we are going to get a lot more interpretation on how Sup

Now, the Chase version of Vegito! A Super Saiyan Chase. When they announce a Saiyan character with an SSJ Chase POP, if I like that character, I HAVE to get that version. Luckily, we have ways to retrieve the chase other than hoping and feeling. I'll get into that. For now, let's review SSJ Vegito! I absolutely love that orange backdrop for the boxes. A tradition in Dragonball POPs. Not a Bobblehead Putting an SSJ version as a chase variant is rough. It almost feels unfair be

It’s not Experiment 626 for June 26th — today we have Experiment 151, aka Babyfier! Yes, it’s one of Stitch’s siblings, and we’re so happy to finally be rolling out our collection of these Experiments. With Funko announcing more of them, it only makes sense to get things started sooner rather than later. So without further ado, here’s Babyfier in POP form! Let’s go! This one is a Hot Topic exclusive, and yes, Babyfier is not listed in this wave. This is a rare one, for lack o

Been waiting to do a review on this guy for a long while now! The Fusion of Goku and Vegeta that spawned from the Potara Earrings' magic is not my favorite fusion of the two, but it is iconic. So here we are with a POP of him, and I wanted to snag him the pair! Here we go! Let's review. Yes, this is a Chalice Collectibles bundle. But there is a chase version other than the base form Vegito. Not a bobblehead Vegito stands out from Gogeta for many reasons. While I’m not 100% so

Going into the second set of this FFXIV Miniature Figurines. This time around, it's the Leveilleur twins! Yes, these two! Imagine if this were a blind box hunt. Would've spent a lot of time and money just trying ot get zero duplicates. Let’s start with Alphinaud! This is his Endwalker outfit after he switches to Sage. Ditching his old threads for this new look, Alphinaud has a lot of neat details going on. As a healer who also packs some offensive power with those blaster-lik

Her pixel outfit doesn't have a standard look, so the artist and I just went with an amalgamation. Celes Chere is one of Lathiira's favorite gals. I'm a little late for the anniversary of his passing, but I'm sure he won't mind having Celes Chere added to Arlen's Crusade for Season II. Of course, this scenario tries to replicate Celes' (in)famous moment in the game. Of course, we added some modifications to give the Rune Knight more to distress about. Nalgamang is a common re

The CLLLAAAWWWWWW! Another gift for my Girlfriend, and this character is kind of a bit thing for us. Funny how I can pinpoint Toy Story Aliens as a big moment for her and me. Seeing this on her list, I had to get it for her! So... enough details about us. Let's review this POP, shall we? At the time I was taking pictures of this POP, I didn't own a single Toy Story-related POP. I'm implying, by the way, that all changed. Not a bobblehead, obviously There’s a special place in

Last Time on VR Troopers... Going back to see how Kaitlin Star is doing. Looks like she's still hanging out, eh? Looks like she's not having a fun time at all! Once again, another idea for an episode of VR Troopers that could've benefited from some DiD-ery on Kaitlin's part. Nayumika is a newcomer to my commissioning gallery. For the first time, I'd say they added something substantial! For sure going to see this Trooper again this year. She's going to be sticking around for

Okay, so Summer Game Fest for 2026 came, and it dropped some serious hitters! Let's not waste time with the intros and get right into the meat of it all! 2027 is going to be an awesome year for gaming! This isn't strictly what was announced in Game Fest, mind you! It's days before and days after news as well. But, yeah! Let's get on with it. Been waiting for this! Final Fantasy VII Revelation! The third and FINAL addition to the Remake series. They didn't hold back with what

I'm going to admit that I'm a week late for the actual date of departure, so I'm sorry, old friend. I'm sure you won't mind, though, right? @mndlessentertainment We're going to start with Julia Carpenter. While she's not Lath's number one, or anything, she is high up there for our dear old friend. Funny enough, I can only find one DiD image of her before this month, so there's that! @cruelfaker And, yes. There is Natasha. Definitely one of Lath's top two. So... speaking of tw

Snow cones?! The Yeti swears it's lemon-flavored! If I were Mike or Sully, I would've declined as well. But let's take a look at this POP that I gave my special friend, shall we? This is actually the first Monsters Inc POP I got my hands on, I believe? A unique way to jump into the series. The Abominable Snowman is a fun little cameo, and his part in the movie/s are always a good laugh. Not a bobblehead And yes, the way the tray of snow cones is also well done. The Yeti in th

Yes! This 2-pack is an awesome catch from 2025, given to me as a Christmas Gift by my special friend. This is a special addition to my Spiderverse collection, so I'm pretty excited to review it. So let's get to it! I always like these special editions. Funko's been doing a great job bringing in some nostalgia from classic comic moments. Of course, they had to do one of Peter and MJ's iconic moments . A bobblehead So awesome they added the ring! Moving on to Spider-Man first,

She Can (NOT) Escape I'm surprised I have yet to do something with Evangelion DiDs. Asuka is one of my favorite anime gals, and the anime itself is an all-time classic to me; I'm even a fan of the reboot. With that said, here we go. Let's dig into another Tuesday with DiD'ery involving Asuka (a lot of her). Let's go! @Kneeslappper As I said, this will mostly be about Asuka and will feature Kneeslapper's art. So a sequenced-collage-like DiD artwork of Ms. Langley is something

What’s this? A Final Fantasy XIV figurine collection? Yes, it is! It’s been a while since I got one of these guys, so I’m pretty excited to check them out. Square Enix is definitely better with static figurines like these compared to their articulated ones. So, let’s go! It's the entire Scions, so this lineup looks pretty good. Spoiler alert: I have all of them! Starting things off with everyone’s favorite Mama Cat — Y’shtola Rhul! She’s definitely my favorite character in FF

Time to add more of these shenanigans and since the AI world is getting that much better, might as well add in what they've been able to do with this one famous Trooper, eh? We're going to look at some alterations that are getting better and better as we go. Also, there is a theme here: Red Gag. Yes, red. OTM or cleave, we are going to be looking at red gag. Though many OTMs will be seen here. Kaitlin doesn't mind. The pic with Kaitlin blindfolded while gagged is just going o

It's been a while since Arlen messed with a Senshi! Still going strong with her Crusade, another one from the Sailor Moon Universe got snagged! The Goddess of Love herself, Sailor Venus, aka Minako Aino. Bound and gagged with her own accessories and weapons must be a downer. But, hey! It's a good image for us! Sovjann is once again putting in more work into Season 2. I think he did an amazing job with this one for sure! Do check out their gallery for more awesome stuff! Until

Another Pokémon addition to my Special Friend's collection! This time it's the middle stage of the ever-so-famous Charizard! This POP was a long time coming, so let's see what this POP is all about, shall we? Yes, we all know this guy is a fire element. I do like that they continue to keep the elements as a theme for the Pokemon POP boxes. Not a bobblehead Charmeleon gives off that classic middle-child vibe. He’s not as adorable as Charmander, but he also doesn’t have the com

Arlen's Crusade: Sailor Mars/Rei Hino The theme is as follows: Magical Girls! Of course, Sailor Moon is going to be the default Magical Girl for a lot of folks, so you're gonna see a lot of those. So without further Adieu, let's go. Seeing Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus is always a treat. Both girls are very similar aesthetically, just a color variant of the other. Doesn't matter who is holding the ropes; the scene always looks good. Mercury and Jupiter are often paired up with

Another POP joining the Spider-Verse collection! Obviously, this means another addition to the Spider-Verse wall. Since most of Miles’ suits are straight-up awesome, I’m pretty confident his Crimson Cowl will deliver. So let’s check out this POP! There are a lot of good suits that came out of Miles' appearance. I honestly feel like, given the chance, I'd collect all of these. He's a bobblehead Unlike Peter, Miles doesn’t have decades of history to fall back on when it comes t

The moment I saw this, I knew I had to get him. Not only is it from Iron Man 2, but it's also a moment that I remember quite fondly. Ah... those good ole days of the MCU. At any rate, let's get into the POP, shall we? As one of the minorities for loving Iron Man 2, every time a POP is announced based on that movie, I tend to give it some attention. Still waiting on a 'classic' MCU War Machine, mind you! A bobblehead The Mark VI makes its presence known in Iron Man 2. While it

Yes, a POP Rides. It's been a bit since I got one of these, and truth be told, this isn't mine. This was gifted to me to give, so I decided to review him real quick. So let's get right into the review, shall we? I really don’t know anything about this character. I know the legend of Moby Dick, so I can kind of piece together what this is about. So… question though: Is Moby Dick in this anime just a skull and bones used as a ship? Interesting. Not a bobblehead Whitebeard’s des
