New Images: NECA SDCC ‘13 Exclusive Friday The 13th Action Figure

Figures.com nabbed the first look at NECA’s SDCC ’13 exclusive.

This Friday The 13th Jason…

View Post

I am DYING. There have been plenty of SDCC exclusives that caught my interest from afar, but this is the first time when I’ve absolutely NEEDED one and would put myself into the poorhouse to get it. (Not going to SDCC, so I’ll be paying eBay prices.)

There is no f’n way I won’t own this. NECA continues to be so freakin’ incredible. This is what, TEN STRAIGHT YEARS now of them being the best? I remember spitting saliva all over their showroom back at the *2004* Toy Fair. And they weren’t even completely new, even then! GAH.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

This is a brilliant idea!

Star Wars and Marvel cookies made with Williams-Sonoma cookie cutters. They were as delicious as they were well-decorated.

It’s late and I just got home from a business trip, so I’m going to be brief. Two packages were on my doorstep when I arrived home. One from Mattycollector.com and the other from Hasbrotoyshop.com. I’ve been waiting for Larfleeze to be made by Mattel for years, and I completely forgot the Club Infinite Earths exclusive Monsieur Mallah and The Brain figures were shipping this month too.

I was pretty excited to get X-Force Archangel and Maskless Dr. Doom as they were previously only available as incentives to subscribe to Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited service and would have cost $60 per subscription to get each figure. I got both figures for 1/4 of the price plus shipping!!

Toy Haul 3/26/13

A trip to the pet store became a full-blown toy run tonight. A successful run that yielded all this bounty and more.

I stopped at Ollie’s because they seem to be where Mattel dumps their overstock. I’ve seen the Zod 12” figure there before, but today it was 50% off the normal $30.00 price (which is already half what they originally cost on Mattycollector.com). For $15.00 this was a must have. I’ll probably have to buy a little shelf to hang in a place of prominence to display the good general on, and have a “Kneel before Zod” plaque made.

At FYE I found the last Ewok I need to complete my modern Ewok collection (until they make more). Lumat was part of an Internet only wave of figures that came out around Christmas, so finding her was a surprise.

I went to Five Below to get some TMNT DVDs for my nephew who just discovered the Turtles, and ran across a few figures I was missing from the Thor movie line. For $4.00 each, King Laufey and Asgardian Glow Odin were definitely coming home with me.

Toys R Us and Target didn’t have squat, but on my last stop of the night, at Walmart, I found two Marvel Universe Jubilee figures. The whole wave, which includes Professor X and Blastaar, has eluded me since they first started shipping. Xavier and Blastaar were nowhere to be found, but I was happy to see Jubilee and get to pick the best paint job available.

I did get food for my dog in case you were wondering. I also got her a cute little Kermit the Frog scarf!

The portion of my Galactus collection that is small enough to fit on my coffee table and not obstruct the view of my TV.

My Beta Ray Bill collection.

Uncanny Force!!

The Juggernaut is slowly taking over my coffee table.

Puck! The smallest figure I ever paid $12.99 for. I’ve never been a fan of Alpha Flight, but I liked Puck, and he’s on the Uncanny X-Force now, so I had to get him.
