Listen to My Story...

2025 was a good year for Marvel Rivals POPs, and adding Magik to the collection was actually suggested by my special friend. I didn’t oppose it since I do like Magik, and her Rivals design isn’t too far off from her original look. With that said, her POP form has a lot to talk about, so let’s get into the review! Yes, I have this entire wave. Go figure. A bobblehead Magik’s outfit in Marvel Rivals  is very similar to her black booty-shorts look from the comics. While it’s a b

When I first had my sights set on Bedlam last year, I thought I was getting another Spider-Verse addition. When I finally picked him up, I realized he was actually another Symbiote—just one of Eddie’s many, many forms. Still, this is another POP from 2025, and he looks pretty sick. So let’s get into the review! This is a special edition from Wintercon 2025. Honestly, he's a pretty obscure character, so for him to get a POP is something else. Is there a market for this guy? No

Another MHA POP I picked up in 2025! This one is special because it represents a significant part of Himiko’s arc. It’s also a POP Plus, so there’s more going on here than with your standard release. I was pretty excited for this one, so without further ado, let’s get into the review! I'm hoping this isn't the final wave of MHA POPs since they have so much more they can do. That Midoriya might be something I'd want to pick up. Eventually. Not a bobblehead Toga is usually seen

Arlen's Crusade: Mari Illustrious Makinami Going into another TuT with more Damsels squirming about for us to enjoy. Okay, so let's stop yapping and go into this Tuesday's goodies, eh? Let's go! @Vakaosciosa This damsel is a cutie. Very stylish with that pink hair of hers. Her schoolgirl uniform does more to accentuate her gorgeousness. The ropes and gag, of course, do a lot of things too, so who are we to set her free? @kusujinn Whoa! That's a good little collection of the M

My Hero Academia ’s final season aired not too long ago, but we only just finished it this year. Bittersweet, but ultimately a fitting ending that gave solid closure to an anime we’ve been following for about two years now. Along the way, we’ve picked up plenty of POPs from the anime—and honestly, we might even end up completing Class 1-A someday. For now, though, I picked up Tokoyami last year and am finally getting around to reviewing him. So let’s get into it and see how t

Another 2025 catch rolling in for 2026! This time around, we have Luna Snow! Who is Luna Snow? A very obscure Marvel character is getting a spotlight in many ways! For an obscure character to get a POP before so many other Marvel characters is something. Still, let's review this POP of Luna Snow, shall we? Yes, I have this entire set. Should you be surprised? So a Magik POP review is coming up soon, that much is certain. A Bobblehead! Luna Snow doesn’t have a costume—she has

A 2025 catch that’s absolutely worth mentioning this year! And yes, Power Rangers were a huge part of my fandom in the ’90s. With the franchise being far more accessible these days, I’m more than willing to add anything that fits into my POP collection. This Green/White Ranger—using that split gimmick Funko’s been doing—hits all the right notes. Yeah, this one is perfect for me… and  us! So without further ado, let’s get into the review. A very special edition! This was a mus

Jeff the Land Shark!? Marvel, in its nearly 90 years in the business, has introduced a wide array of cute mascots designed to get an “aww” reaction. Jeff isn’t the first—but he’s definitely the most recent fan favorite. A POP of him? Yeah, my special friend wanted Jeff, so I had to get it for her! With that said, let’s jump into the review, shall we? I might or might not have this entire set. Probably. Believe it or not, he's a bobblehead I have very little to no idea who—or

Arlens & the Vixens The Marvel Omniverse is a great place to nab some hot damsels. Since we're still early to 2026, how about we get TuT going with some Marvel gals, eh? So let's not delay! Let's get into Tied Up Tuesday! @kmkartworks Since the cover is Jess, we're gonna start it with the first and the best . And how about we enjoy her under a Bruce Timm-inspired art style? Simple peril, but great DiD nonetheless! @mofastofu You know I love a good homage! This one in particu

Alucard is a big piece of my gaming life back in the early and late '90s. I played the living heck of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, and who didn't overplay his featured game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? When I found out that he was going to make an appearance in a very adult-themed show, I was pretty excited! Shame on me for missing his first POP (along with Trevor Belmont's)! But here is Alucard's Nocturne version, and I'm pretty excited to review him. Was tempte

This beautiful POP is another one I didn’t get a chance to review last year. It was a gift for my special friend, who wanted this added to her collection—and honestly, how could she pass it up? Maleficent in her dragon form, recreating an iconic Disney movie moment? Yeah, this one was a must-have. With that said, let’s take a look at this POP, shall we? This is a good set! I don’t intend to collect all of it, but there are definitely a couple of standouts here. The new Malefi

Wow. The year 2020 was six years ago (at the time of writing this). More than half a decade—time really flies. It’s wild to think this game came out that long ago. Absolutely nuts. But enough stalling—let’s get into it. Today, we’re reviewing a POP based on the suit that made its debut in  Spider-Man: Miles Morales . Let’s go! Not gonna lie, a lot of Miles' outfits look amazing. I just might snag some of these throughout the years. I happen to have one already from this list.

Last Time on VR Troopers... Season 1 Episode 6 of VR Troopers needed some much needed modifications. Luckily, we are all here to make sure Kaitlin Star gets the spotlight. Another commission similarly done by  Bound2Draw to his previous one! Please do enjoy this picture and check out their gallery for more awesome stuff. And, yes. We are not done with Ms. Trooper just yet. Until Next Time !

Yes, here’s a Spider-Man POP from 2025 that I never got around to reviewing. This one is a personal favorite of mine, and honestly, if this review had gone up during 2025, it would’ve been right alongside the Symbiote line-ups from last year. But here we are. Better late than never! Let’s take a look at this Symbiote Takeover Spider-Man POP, shall we? I consider this a Symbiote takeover, even though it isn’t officially labeled as such. We’ve gotten this kind of Spidey POP bef

Kaitlin's Front Page (Retake XI) Welcome to another Tied Up Tuesday, folks! This one is a bit more random, and it's going to still have a lot of goodies. So be prepped for another awesome TuT! @shio-bari A variant heavy art from none other than Shio! I don't have to create a super complex narrative for this one. The image already spelled it out! Just fill in the blanks as you see fit! It's awesome with or without addition! @yeshuhang92 You don't usually get a 'backside' strug

Another Pokémon Soft Color from 2025’s catches! Bulbasaur—one of the original starter Pokémon from before a bajillion other species were introduced. This one was a special gift for a special friend who’s collecting all the basic Pokémon, along with the Soft Color variants. With that said, let’s get into the review and see how this one turned out. Leaf element? Plant-based? Not entirely knowledgeable about how the elements of Pokémon go, but Bulbasaur isn't the only plant-base

One day, I’m finally going to finish the first season of X-Men ’97 —there’s just so much good stuff in it. A lot happens, too, including Jubilation Lee getting her “vampire” costume in the show. Lo and behold, we ended up getting a POP of it! Is it any good? Let’s find out. This is actually a good-looking wave. Doubt I'll finish it, but Bastion, Nightcrawler, and Storm are characters I may want in my collection. Just gotta find them for a good price. A bobblehead Immediately,

Another Gundam POP joins my collection! The last one we got was awesome with all the details, so let’s see if Deathscythe lives up to Epyon. Oh, just an FYI—this is another 2025 snag, so if it hits all the marks, we might be seeing it again in my 2026 highlights. With that said, let’s get to the review, shall we? This is a good wave. Honestly, if I had the room, I'd get Wing Zero too. These POPs come with a lot in terms of details. Still waiting on the other Gundam Wing POPs.

Wonder Woman's Usual Spot We're gonna kick it off strong by going into the Multiverse, where there are plenty of damsels to nab and enjoy! The DC Multiverse, that is! Y'all already know! Let's enjoy as some of the strongest damsels get a bit of amazing moments. Let's go! @nalgamang Animated Supergirl gave Kara unneccessary fan service that I am more than willing to enjoy. Kara over here is probably depowered, so the peril is real! @bennypaan Ain't that punishment/ Stripped of

A Dragon Ball GT POP! Will be getting a few more of these in a few, but this one is a special one from Funko.com . While I haven't been the biggest fan of DBGT, I am coming around to some of them, and SSJ4 Goku is a good place to start. So, here we go. Let's get to the review, shall we? It's no surprise that I have a couple of these. And, yes, the reviews for them are coming up. I'm very slow when it comes to that at the moment. Not a bobblehead I opt for this version of SSJ4

It's a POP-dominated year, and that's no exaggeration. We saw all of this coming during 2024 , but this time around, it's really gone that way. To be honest, I got a lot of POPs this year! Maybe too much? Accuracy : Did this figure capture the likeness of the source material? This is subjective, as 'likeness' may also be in the eye of the beholder. There is a definitive look for a character, but there are also many different artists for someone like, let's say, Spider-Woman,

Previously... FourPieces is starting the year strong with an addition to the Arlen vs Kaga series. Ms Sirushi was seemingly forced to pay homage to a certain Spider-Woman who spent a lot of time sitting on a chair. And the darn green ballgag is back! And Arlen is wearing a shirt with... Kaga in bondage?! An old comm of Fours with Kaga all tied up ! And.... what the heck happened? Thought Kaga was in control? How in the world are they both in distress now with matching outfit

Here’s another character I know very little about—but this POP was more or less picked up as a gift, so let’s jump straight into the review of Zoro from One Piece . I will probably never get any of these, but One Piece's characters are interesting, especially with the way they are animated. Not a bobblehead Zoro’s design in this season is awesome—between the outfit and the way the katanas rest at his waist, it’s a strong look. The clothing is sculpted really well, with wrinkl

Another Stitch POP from 2025! This one was a must because of what this POP represents. With an introduction like that, let's proceed to the review, shall we? Yes, this is a gift for my special friend. I swear I'm going to give her a whole collection of Stitch POPs. Then again, I say that like I haven't started! Not a bobblehead This is Stitch’s intro look, and I’ve always loved it. The red suit, all four arms, the antenna, and those jagged spikes running down his back—it’s pe
