Listen to My Story...

Arlen's Crusade: Bulma Yes, it is time! The Anime omniverse is vast and wide and with a catalog in multiple decades and genres, the anime damsels are definitely not lacking. Let's do another celebration of them since they work so hard struggling against their bondage, so let's just jump right in, shall we? Found it on Pinterest. The pic above, I feel, is more for the dramatics rather than a DiD art. Still, Eternal Sailor Moon all trussed up is not something I can ignore. I'm

We got another Pokémon POP coming in the lineup! Another soft color version, too! Squirtle looks so adorable, so let's just go ahead and check out the POP, shall we? Of course, a special version of Squirtle means he's the only one on this wave--kind of. I've made it my mission to get every one of these for my special friend! Not a bobblehead The shell looks so 'soft'. All of these soft colors are so cute! The first form Pokemons truly are adorable factors, I swear. Rereleasin

Yeah baby! I was gifted this POP on my birthday! And, yes, if it wasn't obvious, I am a fan of Vegeta. He is, after all, the Prince of all Saiyans (once again!). As far as this POP goes, A red Super Saiyan Vegeta? Yes, that's right! Without further adieu, let's get into the review, shall we? This is from the Dragonball Super Broly wave. I already have some of these POPs (more on that later). Not a bobblehead We're going to talk about that paint defect! With the recent snags o

Two Piccolos? Yes! Two orange Piccolo were gifted to me, and so here I am with another addition to my growing Dragonball POPs. They're not MIB, and honestly, I'm not complaining. For now, let's check these guys out and see their strengths! Let's go! Standard box, so nothing really much to say. It's a Funko.com exclusive with a chase variant. I'm not complaining about the standard version, honestly. Not a bobblehead Piccolo's new power up essentially buffs him up and gives him

I had to get this version of Gogeta. I had one barrier: it's a Chase. I don't have the best luck when it comes to getting Chase versions of POPs. So I went through the 3rd market to snag Gogeta SSJ, and so here we are reviewing him. So let's get to it, shall we? DragonBall Super: Broly wave has a couple of goodies. I got a couple already, but we'll leave it at that. Not a bobblehead From what I have come across with Chase variants, they are, more or less, mostly the same as t

Another Pokémon POP? For someone who isn't a big fan of Pokémon, I sure am getting quite a bit of them, eh? Yeah, this is my special friend's POP too! But I am pretty excited to review him, so let's get to POP Charizard's review, shall we? What a small wave. Then again, Pokémon comes in increments when it comes to POPs. Still, wouldn't it make sense to have the OGs in one wave? Oh well. The boxes for these are awesome. Loving the fire element! Not a bobblehead. Charizard is a

There's nothing more iconic and recognizable in anime than Goku turning Super Saiyan for the first time during the Frieza arc. Funny enough, I do have one other POP in this lineup! That Majin-Vegeta looks pretty good, but honestly, I'm not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger for that. Not a bobblehead This POP has one mission: to replicate the iconic moment when Goku first turned into a Super Saiyan. The ripped-up outfit, the simple but imposing stance, the blonde hair and

Vegeta! The Prince of all Saiyans once again! This is a good moment to make a POP out of, so I was excited to learn that it exists. The Final Flash is Vegeta's Kamehameha (ish), so let's see if a POP of this makes a (big) bang! Let's go to the review, shall we? I didn't get anything from this wave, but if I'm on this kick on getting Vegeta POPs, I should consider the other Vegeta in this wave. The first form of Frieza is more for memories, but mostly a pass regarding the wave

Manderville?! Yes! That's right! Arlen Sirushi just nabbed THE Mrs. Manderville and Nashu too! As usual, when it comes to Arlen and her Crusade, do not question how she manages to kidnap these powerful and capable gals. Just know that Ms. Sirushi is very serious with her Crusade (Season 2 is definitely a banger, eh?). She also came with a bomb so there's that! I'm sure Nashu and Julyan will be fine! Art by none other than the talented AkinaSilver! A very familiar artist in my

Now this, this is a classic character from my youngling days! Yes, I used to watch Gunam Wing, and Epyon was one of the Gundams I liked! So he was a must (kind of). So without any more delay, let's get into the review, shall we? Yeah, there are three in this wave.... I'm not sure why Heavy Arms, Sandlot, and Shenlong aren't here, but I'm going to take a wild guess that this wave is testing the waters to see if there is a market for these guys. I was hesitant with starting a n

I'm not a huge Pokémon fan, but I do like POPs! This one, if it's not obvious, isn't mine! It's for my special friend who deserves all the best POPs! Let's take a look at this Amazon exclusive of Charmander, shall we? I didn't get this POP from its advertised exclusive location. Good ole Funko.com itself was the place I got it for a good price! Not a bobblehead! The first form of the classic Pokémon is a hyper-cute little creature that everyone wants to hug. A POP version of

Arlen's Crusade: Jun the Swan We're going to poke more into the anime DiD world. There's a lot on this side of the community, for sure. I'm a huge fan of particular anime, and I'm sure I'll be familiar with most of these gals. I remember working with Seductive Bunneh some time ago. They do some amazing artwork! And also, touching on a classic anime damsel right here! Classic and obscure! I do love the variations, and I love the Dragonball-gag! It's just perfect! Also, that fr

Another Demon Slayer POP! I know, been getting a bit more of these lately! To be fair, though, this isn't mine. It was gifted to a special person. But said person was kind enough for me to review, so here we go! The chances of me finishing this set are pretty slim. I'm not really interested in any of the POPs since most of them have better versions already. Not a bobblehead. This character has an interesting story as far as a Hashira goes. I mean, the rest of them have some b

Arlen's Crusade (Jiro Kyoka) We're gonna go anime-heavy this week, okay? I'm surprised I haven't given this genre as much TuTs but better late than never! So without further adieu, let's see what these gals are up to, eh? @Shio-Bari With Jiro leading the fray, it's only fitting that another MHA Damsel followed! And who do we have here? Midnight?! YES! Shio brings the variants too and I'm all for it! This is a better fate for Midnight than her unceremonious death in the anime/

Yes, the box is bigger! A premium POP? Yeah, it's a new thing that Funko is forking out. It's a bit more pricey that the common POPs and we are to find out if it's worthy of the price. With that said, let's take a look at another Demon Slayer Hashira who made his way as a POP! Let's review Kyojuro Rengoku, shall we? This is a good looking set. I'm not sure if I will be getting any of these, but it's a good set, so that's for sure! Not a bobblehead Rengoku is the first Hashira

I'm on a Dragonball trend, it seems! With all the awesome releases they've had lately, I can't help but snag a few of them! This guy over here is Gogeta Super-Saiyajin-God-Super-Saiyajin... or Super Saiyan God Gogeta... Or SSG Gogeta... or Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta. Whatever! I'll call it Gogeta SSB from here on out. Anyways, let's take a look at this POP, shall we? It's a small thing but I love the box design. I love the orange backdrop with Shen-Long placed all over to juxta

Dragonball Super Broly was a good movie to enjoy some flashy Dragonball shenanigans. We finally get Broly and Gogeta canon to the Dragonball universe. With a popular movie like that comes a few lovely merchandise and so here we are with a POP of Gogeta. Let's get into the review, shall we? This isn't a half-bad aset. Of course, I'm going to be getting any of these I don't think. Two POPs in this set aren't shown on the box. That's okay. I'm sure one of them will find its way

A My Hero Academia POP! Yes, I will be a little bit more inclusive with my POPs and not just get Spiderverse this year. With that said, let's take a look at Mirio Togata from MHA! This wave is mostly based on Season 4, which was a pretty good season. Wasn't really planning on getting Lemillion but this was a gift from a coworker so no complaints from me! Free POP! Not a bobblehead Miriam's design is a standard superhero look. It's not a bad look and I am not against it. The P

Anime Tied Up Tuesday! Now it's not a thankful month without anime on the list. I have been into this genre for such a time and I've fallen in and out of it, but there's no denying that Anime has influenced my fandom in more ways than one. Admittedly, this isn't going to be a varied list but let's go on and enjoy it, shall we? Part of me wishes that Toru Hagakure remained invisible and never had a face reveal. But would her DiD moment like the one above be as good? Probably n

A My Hero Academia POP! This one's not mine but I am more than excited to check out this powered-up Deku! So let's get right into the review, shall we? They have a lot of MHA POPs. They have a lot of good characters. This set... it's okay. I know the specific season they are highlighting. And... what?! A jumbo version of this POP?! Neither of them are bobble heads Focusing on a specific character appearance when it comes to POP, well, it's pretty bold since every little detai
