Listen to My Story...

Lightning vs Elsa - Round Two It's not exactly Christmas in July or anything, but I am here to say goodbye to July with just a few random DiDs. A few of these characters have tickled my fancy one way or another, so they will be featured. As for y'all, enjoy! That strap in between--I don't think, as far as I've read, Emp EVER addresses when she gets one. Hahah noobs. Gag-talk fluent, Ms. Powers is! Ya know, she's had a ton of gag experience throughout her series. It's amazing,

Yes, an S.H. Figuarts for 2026! An articulated figure! This is actually an older release that my girlfriend gifted me some time back. I’m just now getting around to reviewing it, and I’m pretty excited to talk about a line of figures I haven’t dabbled in for a while. So let’s get into it, shall we? Standard import boxes with nice promotional pictures of the figure. Also some good ideas to try and replicate for someone like me who isn't too big into exploring a bajillion poses

Alright! Another Chalice Collectibles snag, and of course, it's another Vegeta! This one is something I feel like is going to make my 2026 list! I'll explain more as we go through the review. So without any more delay, let's take a look at this POP! Of course, a Dragon Ball Super POP. Pretty sure I'm going to skip this wave unless more exclusives from this wave aren't pictured. Not a bobblehead Vegeta started wearing armor again in Super, and honestly, it’s my favorite look f

Yes, another Vegeta POP! This time it’s the Prince of all Saiyans getting ready to unleash his powerful Galick Gun! Pretty excited to review this one, so let’s dive right in. This is a Challice Collectibles exclusive. The more I collect Dragon Ball POPs, the more I realize how many goodies they have! Not a bobblehead That signature hair of his is easily handled by Funko these days! Vegeta’s Galick Gun was the first signature Ki blast I ever saw him use. That iconic standoff w

The final evolution of our favorite plant-based OG Pokémon! This is the second complete evolution my girlfriend owns, and believe me, I want her to finish evolutions, so without further ado, let's go check out Venusaur! This Premium POP is definitely one for Pokémon collectors. Not a bobblehead Unlike the regular Charizard POP my girlfriend owns, Venusaur is a Premium POP. That means he doesn’t come alone — he includes a base and extra details. Venusaur is standing on a wood-

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

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

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

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

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

It's crazy how this POP is twelve years old, and I only got him early this year. Then again, it was only 2025 when I started my Dragon Ball POP collection hardcore. With that said, let's review this older POP, shall we? One can just look at the characters and their posture, and one can immediately tell that this is an older wave. Definitely something in the history books. Not a bobblehead Not sure if any other characters on the Dragon Ball line have a scouter, but I will say

Demon Slayer had a good year in 2025! They also had an amazing lineup of POPs, and this particular POP Plus featuring Tanjiro Kamado is one of them! So without further ado, let's check this one out, shall we? Funny how I have a lot of these POPs. Some are not reviewed yet, obviously. But sheesh! I almost have this set complete. Not a bobblehead Tanjiro had a lot of shining moments in Part I of the Infinity Castle arc. His breathing technique, now fully fire-based, delivered s

Vegeta is an anime character I've grown to love more and more over the years. Sure, he’s still second to Goku in the power rankings, but I’ll always gravitate toward the Prince of all Saiyans because of his incredible character arc—from arrogant villain to proud anti-hero with real depth and growth. With that said, I never followed Dragon Ball GT, and from what I’ve read, Vegeta gets completely sidelined for most of it… yeah. But he does get that badass SSJ4 form, and here we

Season 2 for Arlen's Crusade continues with another Damsel tucked in and nurtured by our favorite Omniverse traveling OC. And, my, oh my! A dangerous capture is what Arlen snagged this time around, for sure. Himiko Toga is one nasty gal who was a thorn in Class 1-A's side for a bit. She seemed to have this thing for Deku and Uravity and, ya know.... seemed to have a thing for the two. Arlen, on the other hand, had Toga in her crosshairs and seems to want to pacify this crazy

Arlen's Crusade: Jiro Kyoka My Hero Academia's final season aired not too long ago, and I just recently finished watching it. And TuT has featured the MHA gals quite a bit, and I've commissioned them. I'd like to get one Tied Up Tuesday dedicated to the damsels of My Hero Academia. So without further ado, let's go! Plus Ultra! @autotape98 Ochaco is a cutie. Any Distress she goes through is worth the price of admission. Your typical nice girl is getting herself in situation! P

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

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

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.
