Your Latest Purchase...

nice poses! im kinda liking GDT figures!

I hope you don't mind me posting this, because it's not 1/6 scale, or an action figure.
Power Girl - Sideshow Premium Format 1/4 Figure



I wanted one of these ever since I first saw it on sideshow's page almost a year ago. And now I found one overseas.

It's nice, but I probably won't be getting more like this and not just because of the price. I have a bit of a buyer's remorse you see. With the action figures I can always change the pose or outfit or even the head sculpt, to make them fresh again. But this is just a statue forever stuck in the same pose. Which makes it less exciting for me. The best I can do is move it to a different location.

Great outfit.
The muscles work well on the legs.
Maybe her arms could use a workout.

I wish Phicen made a more muscular female body, but clearly there is not enough demand for it, they keep making these smaller bodies now.

Wolvie and Batman look great! So... is he going to ship Wolverine then? So far I've never had problems with any Ebay sellers sending me replacements for their f-ups.

Black Spartan Army Commander looks great in any collection. Great catch!

Ghost Girl looks great, too! She looks fairly petite, no? Those boots are awesome! They look very sturdy and posing-friendly.

Power Girl looks beautiful, too. That photo actually got me thinking as to whether maybe I shouldn't dismiss the statue sections all too easily, but your buyers remorse saved me from that.

A closer at the tattoos. I think they look awesome.

One thing I’d like to bring up to both of you is to be careful when assembling the breast pocket’s items. The clamp that holds the paper to the pocket (which is a pain in itself) and the pocket protector fit very tight in the pocket width-wise, and the clamp bent and almost severed the blue ‘pen clip’ when I assembled it as instructed. I removed the pocket protector and tried super glueing it back in place. After the glue cured I reassembled and the clamp broke that same blue pen clip off. My guess is the tailoring is a tad small for the intended pieces, at least on my unit. Then again the three pen clips are tiny! Thankfully the piece of paper now covers the broken blue pen cap. It was actually broken when I took my photos posted on page 9.

That’s the only issue I had assembling the entire figure.

Best of luck on assembly.

A small follow up on this one… Toy Anxiety recently unboxed a few HT Doc Browns for partout, so I picked up a replacement pocket protector. I’ll be extra-extra careful with this one!


I also just preordered a replacement head sculpt for Doc Brown since the standard reissued part 2 headsculpt looks horrible on the first movie figure. I just wish this “custom male headsculpt” had rooted hair… perhaps in the future someone will release that!

——

While I was at Toy Anxiety, I picked up the bowling ball, bag, and bowling ball holding hands from The Big Lebowski “The Dude” figure, mainly because I myself used to bowl and anything I can find in 1/6th that I relate to, I try to buy it!

In other news, I’ve been on a sixth scale preordering blitz these past few weeks, starting with the Jazzinc Dioramas Batman Forever Batmobile to compliment my Hot Toys Batman and Robin and soon-to-be-shipped Toyz Trubo Two-Face. This was followed by preordering the Jazzinc Dioramas 1989 Batmobile a week later. These 2 pieces are the most I’ve ever spent on *any* collectible, let alone sixth scale, so I’m both anxious and excited! (plus those 15 month payment plans sure do help!) I have no idea where I’m going to display these two Batmobiles, as I’m already near “space danger” but will find a way! Then, about a week after that Hot Toys finally started preorders on the Batman 89 2.0 figure, and since I missed him the first go-round, that was an instant preorder. I chose the deluxe version with the diorama base because it just looks so awesome!


The wait for these three items will be agonizing!

I’ve also preordered a couple Mars Toys Batman 89 figures, Mr. J and Mr. W, which I think will both compliment my current Batman movie figures nicely.


I’m sure there are some other miscellaneous items I’ve picked up since posting, such as a sixth scale camera, desk lamp and some additional clothing items, but nothing aside from those that really warrant a mentioning.

Happy collecting,

Check out reviews of Jazz Inc dioramas and pieces on YouTube, to make sure you know exactly what to expect.

Oh, wow! So cool you went with the Jazzinc Batmobiles. And cool PO’s. I have that Bruce Wayne on Po as well, and already have the first Mars Mr. j, which I think is fine.

Yeah, I’ve been keeping an ear to the ground on Jazzinc since I saw their sixth scale 89 Batwing quite awhile back. I’d love to have that but $2,500 for one “vehicle” is just WAY outside of my spending comfort zone. Shoot, these 2 Batmobiles are already there as it is! A local collector friend of mine preordered that one, so at least I’ll be able to put eyes on it once he receives it. I’ve watched a lot of videos that Joost has made regarding the creation and modification of some of their products while in the development stages. I love his attention to detail and accuracy. The 66 Batmobile reviews I’ve seen paint a very clear picture of their high standards. I’ve also seen their post-sales support in terms of some components arriving damaged and their quick response to make it right providing replacement parts if necessary. Everything I’ve seen thus far paints them in a bright light!

Yeah, I figured Hot Toys would reissue their Batmobile as they did after I PO’d the Jazzinc one, and I would have been content with Hot Toys, but opted for the more accurate depiction that Jazzinc will produce. I still don’t understand the hate being thrown by followers of one versus the other. They’re both great with one being a bit less-expensive/less accurate than the other, but no reason to throw shade at backers of the one they themselves didn’t back. I did pick up the MMS294 Bruce Wayne head sculpt back in 2016 for my Returns figure to display the busted cowl pieces I picked up as well, but never bought the Batman/Wayne two pack so the Mr. W figure should fill that void. Also, was the first Mars Toys Mr. J just a reissue of the DX-08 89 Joker or another variant? I’m new to Mars Toys after just finding out about them.

Table Top Radio

I've been looking for a particular style of 1/6-scale vintage or "retro" table top radio set for several months, after seeing one in an old action figure photo on Flickr.

This is not the exact radio for which I've been looking... but it's close enough. I found this one last week while searching eBay. It cost me more than I would like to have paid, but shortly after I put the item on my "Watch List" on eBay, the seller offered a reduced price with free shipping, so it only cost me a little bit more than I would like to have paid.


I wonder how many of us would start to break out in a sweat if we were to look at one of our standing dioramas or scroll through our online images and try to add up the cost of all the accessories, costume pieces, and craft supplies we've invested in to create our little scenes?

Hey, I know it’s late, but check out this retro radio on Etsy:

Oooh... I like it! Thanx for the link!

I've been wanting this head sculpt, Lucifer Lxf1703 Wings Of Dawn 1/6 Michael Big Angel for awhile, I finally found it on Ebay.  The outfit I put together from a Cat Toys set, which originally had a jumpsuit that disintegrated when putting it on the figure.  But happy I found the head!

Yikes! That's unfortunate about the jumpsuit. Glad you were able to get the head though.

Nicely completed, and nicely presented. I don't think she's going to miss that jumpsuit at all.

Yeah, bad news on the jumpsuit, but your version looks amazing! Love that sculpt

I got this figure months ago, last year actually, but it has just been sitting in the box since. Then I realized it needs batteries, so it had to be delayed again. But the real recent purchase is some manipulable led lights, so now I can play around with the lighting instead of having to rely on the camera flash or natural light.

Nice grab. Those figures are cool as hell.

Agreed, very nice indeed!

Hot Toys - King Shark - PPS006

The beast arrived today. He is the biggest Hot Toys figure in my collection.
King Shark ( voiced by Sylvester Stallone ) is what he is, a large sculpt with little in the way of articulation.
The only parts that can be moved / posed are his feet, hands, upper arms / shoulders.
The figure ships with one pair of swap-out hands and a starfish.

The figure features good texture work and a fitting paint app.

King Shark was arguably the most memorable character in The Suicide Squad (2021)

I probably would not have pick up this figure if it were not for the fact ToysWonderland had a great deal on:

$1280.00 Hong Kong Dollar
$163.00 USD
£137.55 UK Pound

I am happy to have added King Shark to the collection.
Has Hot Toys given up on The Suicide Squad, or will they atleast offer Harley Quinn ?

It makes sense to pick up Hot Toys - Peacemaker to pair with King Shark

Nice grab. I'm actually shocked HT didn't do Harley in her red dress from that movie. Peacemaker makes sense. (I've heard they've redone the head sculpt on that one due to complaints).

Really? ..maybe.
Is there not 2 Peacemakers in the works, one from The Suicide Squad and one from the Peacemaker TV series?
I will have to look into it.

I think there's only one peacemaker and they included a neutral face if I recall that was updated so he doesn't always have his tongue out if you wish. I'm surprised they haven't done a harley either.
