So, I'm going back over my NDK experience and some of the things that I picked up in the Dealer's Room. My favorite purchase for this year was the Revoltech: Queen's Blade figure, Alleyne. Now, people who know me know that I absolutely LOVE Revoltechs and, as a lover of fanservice, this Queen's Blade figure was right up my alley.


Over the years, Revoltech has gotten better and better as I just love the fact that Alleyne's cloak has joints in it to make for "dramatic" poses.

Sticking with the toy theme, Card picked up some SDCC exclusives this year even though we were unable to go this summer. He has friends in the He-Man community who hooked him up. Among the things that he got was the new 8" Lion-O figure from Bandai. Very nice. In fact, I decided that I wanted one as well.
Going hand-in-hand with the new ThunderCats tv show, the "Classic ThunderCats" figures were a welcome addition to my toy collection.

These toys ROCK as I picked up all three of the first wave of 6 inchers...
It took a while to get used to the new design for Panthro but, I'm kinda digging his new look more and more each day. As for the Mumm-Ra, it's a very nice figure but it's legs are too short and it is missing the wings (you could tell that there was a place for wings on this figure...too bad).
Then there is the "crack" of the ThunderCats toy line....the 4" figures...
You know, I did NOT want to buy these...I mean, I'm trying to collect specific things. The 8"ers I like because they are the classic characters and the 6"ers are right up my alley as a collector but...it was the doggone "ThunderTank" that pried my money from my wallet and led to my picking up the entire first wave of 4 inch figures...

Just last night, I picked up my Marvel Universe X-23 figure and consider me impressed/happy. I remember the Marvel Legends version of X-23 was VERY disappointing. The sculpt was HORRIBLE as she was rocking a head that was too big for her body. Now, this figure....Hasbro got it RIGHT!!!



Of course, Marvel Universe has been tearing it up lately with it's last two waves being outstanding. I mean, I've seen the new Steve Rogers and it is SICK. Honestly, I was seriously thinking about dropping this line but, if they keep this up, they will continue to get my hard-earned cash.
