Opinion : Why I will buy a 3DS XL

Last night in a Nintendo direct video, they announced the 3DS XL, there was some acceptance, there was some outrage.

Mr. Rogers Remixed

Everyone remember Mr. Rogers?

I can’t decide if it’s insanely catchy or a bit creepy… the funny thing is this is on the official PBS channel!

Marvel Minimates Wave 2

Just to continue on, here’s the 2nd wave of Marvel Minimates, but this time, I have the variant!  Yay!

Peter Parker Spider-man / Classic Green Goblin

Spider-man / Carnage

Damaged Spider-man / Venom

Spider-man (Black) Variant!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!!

Holy Cow!!  Cowabunga!!!  I found them!

While my first few posts focused on Minimates, I want to try to incorporate as many toys that I can, if I find them interesting…

One of my favourite toylines as a kid, even toys were becoming unpopular for my age at the time, were the Ninja Turtles.  I didn’t have many, but at the very least, it seems I still have the essentials!

Hot Toys Black Widow

Another part of my collection, that I’m actively collecting right now are Hot Toys.

Based on the Avengers movie, they’re going to be releasing the entire line of Avengers, even some they’ve released before.

Just as a small preview, here’s my Black Widow 1.0.  Going to post more Hot Toys later on. 🙂

Marvel Minimates Wave 1

This is where it all started folks…

At the time, I didn’t actually have the full set (I technically still don’t) of the first wave of Minimates.

See, the thing is, with these “Comic specialty” waves, there is always 1 set that is marked a variant set, very limited.  For Wave 1, it’s Elektra in black.

One of my long time collections is Minimates, which I’ve been collecting since pretty much the very start.  They started out around 2001/2002, and are currently doing some 10th anniversary stuff.

I started to build a list of the minimates I have, and I probably have over 750… jeebus.

Just to give you an idea, here’s some boxes I’m trying to sort out.
