Listen to My Story...

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

Time for another addition to my Spiderverse POP! This Spidey 2099 is the variant from the Spiderverse movie. Let's not delay and check out this POP, shall we? I have the Spider-Gwen (or Ghost-Spider) from this wave. Probably the only other one I'm going to be getting from here. This Spidey was, after all, gifted to me by my Special Friend. A bobblehead I like the liberties Across the Spiderverse took with Miguel's design. It doesn't deviate too far from the familiar OG look,

Another POP Elements in my collection! This time around, it's the 'power-up' version, and this works with a handful of my POPs. So without further ado, let's go ahead and jump into the review, shall we? As I mentioned in my Elements/Lightning review, these POP accessories are an awesome idea. They can take regular commons and elevate them to the next level, or perfectly complement a POP that already has a lot of built-in special effects. The Power-Up element is very synonymou

Arlen's Crusade: Elena Ivanov Okay, let's do a Tied Up Tuesday without a sense of theme. Beware, though, there's gonna be a lot of Anime-related damsels. Something I'm sure won't garner any complaints. Let's go then! @thefrenchyg Well, this one is starting quite well. Sahem, a pretty gal can't even have a moment in the sun without getting bound and gagged, eh? Truss up one gal but don't forget about the other one--the mouthy and dangerous one, too. Ms. Obanaga really should'v

Another Pokémon! Another Pikachu POP! Surprisingly, my special friend doesn't own a lot of Pikachus, but as they come out with more special edition that tickles her fancy, I will get them for her. For now, let's take a look at this, shall we? Add some elemental attacks and a little bit of designed stand, and we've got ourselves a premium POP! A bit more on the pricier side, but it does come with a bit more than a common one, I suppose. Not a bobblehead Pikachu is practically

The leading lady of DanDaDan, Momo Ayase, herself in POP form! If it wasn't obvious, I love this anime! And Momo is definitely a highlight whenever she appears on screen! Opening 2 isn't as good as the first, but I still love it! It's a pretty simple set but straight to the point with some key characters! Obviously, others are missing here, but at the moment, this is good enough. Not a bobblehead Momo, at first glance, is your typical eye candy tsundere anime girl. Yes, she h

Time to add another Pokémon POP into my Special Friend's collection! This time around, we have Ivysaur, the second form of Bulbasaur! I told my friend we are going to complete her basic G1 Pokémon POPs, and I meant it! So here's Ivysaur! Let's review this one, shall we? The first mid-form I am reviewing (if memory serves). Raichu has been in my household, but isn't mine. Not a bobblehead Truth be told, Ivysaur’s shape, proportions, and most of its details aren’t too different

Been waiting to review this POP for some time now! I love the anime, and the characters really grew on me. So without further ado, here's Okarun in his transformed state in POP form! Let's go! One of the best anime openings to date! I'm guessing that, other than the exclusives already out, this won’t be the final Dandadan POPs we’re going to get. This wave is actually pretty solid and basic in a good way, but we’re definitely gonna need more. Not a bobblehead Okarun’s design

Ah! POP elements coming into my collection! Yes, my special friend bought me this, and I was very shocked (no pun intended). How will this enhance my POP photoshoots? Let's find out, shall we? POP accessories are a nice gimmick that I'm glad Funko caught up on. They can really enhance POP display options with complementary special effects like this. As you'll see, there are plenty of characters and situations that can really benefit from POP elements. And, yes, there are more

It's Clobberin' Time! Yes, it's the Thing! Another POP from the First Steps MCU movie about Marvel's first family. This is my first Thing merch in a LONG time, so I'm genuinely excited to review this guy. With noTHING else to say, let's get to the review, shall we? Again, loving the design of the box. Fits the vibe of the movie. A bobblehead Ben Grimm has a really cool design, and he’s worn a wide variety of uniforms and costumes over the years. For the MCU version, he’s in a

So Round One happened, and Elsa got the end of the ropes. This time around, we got Lightning playing the role of the damsel. Yes, this is hot and, yes, I'm sure Eclair's bum is quite cold. Though I'm sure Elsa has more plans to make things a bit warmer for Lightning. Another collaboration with Goose and another amazing art drawn by none other than Nalgamang. And, yes, there is a round 3 coming up. SOON-ish? Until Next Time!

A POP that I gifted my special friend! Yes, she's still collecting side characters, and this time around, it's Figaro (with Cleo) from Pinocchio! It's an adorable piece that I'm pretty excited to review! Let's go there, then, shall we? I highly doubt I'm ever going to add any more of these POPs to the collection unless, of course, my special friend wants a specific one. Not a bobblehead These POPs are pretty simple, but they have their own charm and complexity. For Figaro and

Arlen's Crusade: Himiko Toga Tied Up Tuesday is going anime once again! Funny enough, anime is one of the most backlogged DiD pics I have so..... yeah. There's gonna be a lot of anime gals here from all over the place! So, enjoy! Let's go! @imightbemick I mentioned a couple of times before that Dragon Ball is not usually the place you'll find damsels. But when the gals there do get a moment from the community, they make sure to make the DiD look amazing, like Bulma here. @ora

I know it's strange to have anything Star Wars in my collection. But samurai and red katanas? That's not far from my nerdiness. Helps that this was another 2025 Christmas present from my special friend. So without further ado, let's take a look at this Darth Maul "Impressions". This line is called "Impressions". While I could take a lot of guesses as to why they're called that, I'm going to leave that be and just say, the Stormtrooper looks awesome. Then again, so does Boba F
