Funko POP: In Dedication

Some legends moved on to the other side this year. And normally I don't get the chance to do these kinds of memorials, but seeing how I have their #POPs, it's only fitting. In honor of Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman, and in memory of Jason David Frank aka Tommy Oliver... May you Rest in Peace. And everyone else we lost, may I find a way to dedicate to what you have brought to my fandom for more than a moment/post. See You Next Time...

2022 Highlights: Action Figures and Toys

Alright! Let's look at 2022 and what it had to offer in regard to action figures and the such. 2021 wasn't bad but this year definitely was a bit more fruitful and diverse. So I'm not going to get too much into the intro but let's list the reasons why I put certain figures in the front and center compared to others. Here it is: Accuracy: Did this figure capture the likeness of the source material? This is subjective since 'likeness' might also be in the eye of the beholder. T

Funko SODA: Iron Man LXXX

A #Funko SODA in the mix! It's been a bit since I've gotten one of these and unlike #POPs, I'm not 100% keen on what characters they have and what up-and-coming releases are on their way. Honestly, I wasn't aware they had Iron Man, but I shouldn't be surprised, all things considered. Welp, let's get into the review, shall we? Again, the can is the main selling point for me. It does look good and I do like the vintage art style used to give me the classic soda pop vibe. The sh

Funko POP: Giganotosaurus

#POPs are no stranger to my blog. Cleary I have a whole POP review section. This is kind of a new type of POP. Since this POP is a dinosaur, it's more of a horizontal creature rather than a vertical. The box accommodates that and we can see it right away. Well, let's go to the review, shall we? Now, I haven't watched Jurassic Park since the 3rd one. Honestly, I really liked the first trilogy not knowing how much the quality diminished back then but I didn't care. Nowadays, ev

FuRyu: Jeanne D'arc (Ruler)

An import figurine on the review! Yes, I do collect other things other than #POPs, ya know. So this time around I'm getting to FuRyu--a brand that has made an appearance or two on my blog. Well, since I saw a good price for Jeanne D'Arc from Fate Apocrypha, I just had to get on it. Not my favorite Fate series, but it had some good looking characters. Jeanne D'Arc was one of them. So let's get into the review of this figurine, shall we? Standard box for this line of imports.

Funko POP: Wonder Woman (Fall of Sinestro)

#POPs are going to come in hot, let me warn you! Also, Wonder Woman has a series (one that I started collecting already but didn't realize I was going to dive into this fervently). Without further adieu, let's look at Wonder Woman as a "Yellow Lantern" in POP form! I never read or have even seen Wonder Woman in Sinestro Corps duds in the comics (at least at this time of me writing this). I'm sure there was a story and she was probably either a key role or hit hard for a panel

Funko POP: Jollibee & Hetty Spaghetti

This is an odd AD Icon to have in my collection, right? Well, for me not really. These two fit right at home. Definitely has a bit more nostalgia than anything else to be honest but let's not discard them as #POPs until we review them! So, let's get into it! So who or what is Jollibee, you say? Well, it's a fast food restaurant that originates from Philippines. Easiest way to put it in perspective is that it's VERY similar to McDonald's but with the flare of the country it ca

Funko POP: Gingerbread Thor (Diamond exclusive)

I know, I know! The Holidays are over (unfortunately). But This is the time where I start reviewing my from Christmas! Part of my SPOILS from 2021, let's get on the review with one of my few Holiday themed #POPs! Thor has pretty much become a household name--huge part in thanks to Chris Hemsworth and his #MCU portrayal, of course. Needless to say, with popularity, his merchandise came crashing through in the multitude. Holidays are hardly spared with MCU/Marvel merchandise s

2021 Highlights: Action Figures & Toys

2021's roll call of the year's more memorable action figures/toys is now in full affect! And just like 2020, the year has gotten less about this part of my hobby and more about other things. That doesn't mean, however that I still didn't do my part. I did, of course. I'll always be a collector--for better or for worse. Accuracy: Did this figure capture the likeness of the source material? This is subjective since 'likeness' might also be in the eye of the beholder. There is a

Spoils of 2021

2021 continues then trend of not being heavy into the collecting part of my hobby. Honestly, most of my time this year focused on #commissions and #gaming but that doesn't mean the festive day of Dec. 25th didn't bear fruit to a few goodies! Clearly got some #POPs, accessories for my PS5, and a few games (FFVII Intergrade baby! And Demon's Souls!), needless to say I'm going to be busy my first half gaming and doing some reviews! Oh, got a few #DuDs too like some hoodies, shir

Funko POP: Vlad the Impaler (Funko.Com Exclusive)

You all should know by now! When I get #POPs, I usually get them by a number and rarely on the singles. So with that said, here's another one for the review. An odd addition but there's a rhyme and reason to have Vlad the Impaler. Let's get on with the review, shall we! The first exclusive I got from Funko.com, and definitely I'm glad I did. I'll explain as I go on with the review. For now, let's talk about Bram Stoker's Dracula, the movie. I'll be honest that I haven't seen

Funko POP: Holiday Mickey Mouse

Yes, it is that time of the year! It's #Christmas2020 just a few weeks away! With that said, I am reviewing some of the Holiday #POPs I have gathered throughout the years. With that said, let's get into it! Mickey Mouse is a juggernaut of a character so having him in Christmas attire should be no surprise (I have the 90 Years of Mickey and the Conductor Mickey). Mickey Mouse, for a lot of households, actually have him and Disney as a big part of their household. I am one such

Funko POP: Picollo (The Raditz Fight)

Picollo is one of my favorite characters from DBZ and I always wanted some #POPs from that franchise. Well, this is the first! Let's get right into the review then! Picollo usually wears a cape (an awesome one, at that) and a hat. According to DBZ lore, they are weighted clothing--something that has some training purpose. Alas, Piccolo is not wearing them in this POP since this is a 'moment' within the first season of Dragon Ball Z. For anyone who is a fan or just has enough

POP: Ariel (Box Lunch Exclusive)

Finally, a #POP from The Little Mermaid is part of my world! Believe it or not, as much as I love #Disney, I barely have any #POPs outside of Elsa. I don't know why it took me so long to do this but here we are! Let's get right into the review! Other than the Mickey Mouse shorts or Disney Christmas short movies, The Little Mermaid, I would have to say, is my first Disney Movie. It's definitely my first introduction to the Disney Princesses line up, that's for sure. Needless t

POP: Shuri (MCU)

Got some more #POP stuff to review! Shuri from the #MCU is, indeed, in my collection! So let's get on with the review, shall we? I'm not going to say I'm the biggest fan of Shuri from the comics, nor do I think she was all that in her MCU appearances--though she was/is pretty fun at some moments. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to go off and buy Shuri merchandise every moment I get. This lovely is a gift and I appreciate it and one should be aware how much I adore #POPs!

POP: Asuka Soryu Langley

This is a #POP I have been waiting for for some time now. From one of my favorite animes of all time: Asuka Soryu Langley of the (original) Neon Genesis Evangelion! Let's check out this fiery redhead under the style of #Funko POP! Neon Genesis Evangelion is one hell of an anime--and that's an understatement. I love it for all its awkward times and all its fantastic moments. Of course, I hate the living daylights out of Shinji--and every character has their moments which makes

POP: Elsa w/ the Nokk

#POP "Rider Series" is a new one in my collection, that's for sure--and the top view isn't as cute and classic as the regular #POPS, but oh well! This one is Elsa riding the Nokk, and this is something I have been waiting for all of my life. Well, not all my life but I have been excited about this one. Let's get on with the review! As one would imagine, the box is bigger than the typical POPs. While Elsa is typically the shape of a regular-sized POP, the fact that she is ridi

Funko POP: Venomized Storm

The first Venomized #POP in my collection! This one caught my attention right away so let's see if she lives up to my initial reaction of purchasing her! This "Venom" series is an interesting one because it can really go in a few ways: Marvel characters looking really good or Marvel characters looking bland to ugly. I have seen a lot of the designs and honestly, there are some good ones. Storm over here is definitely one who falls into the 'good ones'. I was immediately drawn

Funko POP: Harley Quinn (BOP)

Another #POP of Harley Quinn in my collection, I know. She's an easy one to collect since she has so much merchandise out there. Her POP presence alone is in abundance and that's also a force to be reckoned with. With the recent "Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey" out, she was bound to get more from Funko. I got the one I was the most interested in, so here we go! For a moment, I was actually thinking of keeping this gal inside the box. Why? I know it's not a special edition

Funko POP: Dark Phoenix

Another catch from last year! Although the Dark Phoenix/Jean Grey hasn't had the best track record when it comes to movies, at least we can all take solace in the notion that at least she has great merchandise! Speaking of, let's get right into the review! There is no denying that Hot Topic is one of the best sources of #POPs nowadays. Their selection is astronomical and their display reaches heights that require your standard mobile ladder that only employees are allowed to
