Listen to My Story...

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

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'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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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 "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

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

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

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

Aside from Elsa, Harley Quinn is another character that gained a few #POPs in my collection. This is another variant of her Harley wearing another(someone else's) outfit and I really liked it. So with that said, let's get to the review. Again, it's another LA comicon and this one I can really understand why: Harley Quin is popular, it's a unique outfit for Harley Quinn, and over all, it just looks good. The moment I saw it in store, it caught my eyes and it stayed in my hands

This is a new kind of #commission, eh? Yes! It totally is! #POPs are a big part of my collecting fandom so when I ran across Waltodile's series of making "POP Cuties"(female OCs drawn as POPs), I couldn't help but commission my faves--first one on the list? Terra Branford from Final Fantasy VI! Of course, had to put her in my favorite outfit of hers: the Benevolent Maiden. Waltodile made a "Chase" version because of a minor mix up. It was minor, but the result was I ended up

2019 was an interesting year when it comes to my collecting hobby. To put it simply, I didn't really collect as much compared to previous years. This was probably the year that I slowed down quite a bit for a plethora of reasons. Sadly, Game Room VI was also taken out of commission due to circumstances. It's not a complete sob story though since at the given moment, I'm going through some rebuilding in a new room. While it may not be able to showcase the full scope of my coll

Since it's winter time, it's quite fitting that we have ourselves Iceman blasting his way with ice sled and all. #POPs are a common thing in my collection this year and so let's take a gander at Bobby Drake's #POP reimagination! This is part of the 80 Years celebration of #Marvel and with how grand Marvel has become, they want to touch base on a certain mutant team that just literally assembled back to the "Marvel side" of things: The X-Men. Honestly, Iceman here was going to

Another #Funko #POP! This particular piece I've had for some time but it's only recently that I decided to start my review on it because of, well, time. Without further adieu, here we go! This particular #POP is part of MCU's "First Ten years" celebration. Marvel went far and wide with how proud they were with their 10th year milestone with their movies and it showed with just how many companies participated; #Funko is one of them. For a few of the popular and well known char

Well, looks like Elsa is getting a lot of love from #Funko for her second full length movie, eh? Let's just get in and dig right into the goodies! Into the known stuff we go! The first exclusive we're going to go over is the Amazon exclusive and what a fine one it is, least, it looks good from the stock pics. It's Elsa in her 'night-gown' outfit; the one that I absolutely adore because it harkens her back to her burgundy color. Got this preordered already! The Target exclusiv
