The Toy Collectors
kamikazekeeg:
I'm not a huge wrestling toy collector, I only own a few of the Masters of the WWE Universe figures, because you strip them out of the armor and you got just real good looking sorta retro toys with better articulation, but I'm a huge Macho Man fan, always was my favorite and I gotta buy this new Macho Man. The chase version of this, has the exact arm bands he had on, so hopefully I can find that, though I imagine that'll be hard and expensive to get, so might just end up with the standard.

Continuing my beginning Batman collection with the face mouth covered variant for Batman Beyond. I went with this one as I was never a particularly huge fan of Batman Beyond's design where the whole cowl is form fitted to his mouth, which looked weird and never quite understood how that worked, but here, they gave him a mouth cover, maybe it's a design from the comics or something? Either way, it makes the design look way better to me. I hate that they are releasing variants of figures in separate packs right next to each other, because I want the jet blasts and flight holder from the other version. It's a really crappy thing that McFarlane has been doing with this line. Neat figure though, I also plan to get the Batman Beyond Batwoman when that releases.

Honestly this Dragon Stars line is abit shit, the legs on both Frieza's and Piccolo are pretty jank and Gohan just barely stands, it's not very great articulation, but if I can get more for like 10 bucks a piece, then I'm okay with that. They visually are pretty alright though.

I have actually held a few of these with the intern of buying them, but I always second-guess myself because I honestly don't like the build of most figures. I mean, Cooler looks cool, so does Janemba to some extent, but the rest are "meh" at best if I'm being perfectly honest.
Anywho...
Somewhat recent pick ups.
Gogeta came from GameStop and the Super Shredder from Walmart, which happens to be the first TMNT-related figure I managed to score at Walmart after looking for so long; I've heard, as well as read online that some employees have been hiding/stashing certain items away, particularly the NECA TMNT stuff, for other people - friends/relatives, probably resellers. To be honest, I wouldn't doubt it since I've actually caught employees doing it on more than one occasion before. Par for the course, I'd say; it is what it is.

I've actually seen lots of the Shadow Master variant of Super Shredder, but never any of the movie accurate ones. I'm just hoping April won't be impossible to get when she's out in the next couple of months. NECA has actually been a lot better about their stock over the last few months, with the occasional hiccups, still.

No one in my area has seemingly gotten the Super Shredder that I've seen. There was supposed to be an absolute ton of them showing up Walmart, but I haven't seen any. I wasn't sure if I was gonna get it, I just wanted to look at it in person, but I haven't been able to lol
