I have a soft spot for Harley, and despite the poopness of the Suicide Squad movie, I do love the Harley design:
This was made by an artist at the con, “Arkham-Arts (Ski)”. I did a Google search for him, but all he seems to have is an inactive deviantART page :(.
Here’s a close-up of the face, showing the her choker:
and a close-up of the base:
And what she looks like from the back:
A lovely little Harley to add to my collection 🙂
And here’s the third and final figure I bought from the same seller:
A li’l cute Jersey Devil. Yeah, he likes to be called cute, I’m sure of it!
Here he is from the side, showing off his horns:
And his back:
Whilst he does have articulation, it isn’t the best. I also have him stuck with some white tack under his feet, so that he’d stay up for the photos – he’s really hard to balance!
He works far more as a display piece than a poseable figure – the sculpt and paint are nice, but there isn’t much articulation, and there’s not a right lot you can do with what’s there. Could’ve also done with a peg hole, to help with the balance issues, but hey, white tack works, and his feet are big enough you can stick him down and it won’t show.
Here’s a character I’ve been thinking of getting a figure of, on and off through the years. And now I finally have one! Without completely breaking the bank. This is the second of three figures I bought from the same seller:
Seems like wide stances is a thing for this Mezco range of figures… I’ve put his gun in the holster for now, as I’m currently too lazy to go downstairs to warm up his hand XD. Here he is from the side, with the fire crown more in focus:
Doing some searches, I don’t actually have the fire crown in the right place in my photos… ah well XD.
Here he is from the back:
The seller had a handful of the Hellboy variants – chose to go for this one, as I prefer the look of Hellboy in his “full” form. Mmm, nice horns.. and here is a closeup of them:
Is a nicely-painted and sculpted figure… and this one doesn’t have any blue blobs of Abe :P. Just wish these Mezco figures were less forced to look like they’re riding an invisible horse!
This was one of the three figures in my first purchase at Horror Con in Birmingham. I wasn’t planning on going, but my husband saw one of his friends was exhibiting his books there, so we went for an impromptu visit :D. So I ended up spending most of my November budget in October… oops.
Second to robotic things, I like amphibious things. I love Abe’s design and colour. Unfortunately it looks like he got a little too close to Hellboy in the factory and he has a dot of red paint on his right arm – is visible in the above picture.
He also has some nice finnage going on:
The belt is an extra – he has a belt to go on his belt XD.
And here he is saying hi with all his gear on:
The rebreather collar snaps on satisfyingly, and stays shut, though I’ll display him with his gearless head, as per the first pic. The other head has found its home on a twist-on wire connector (Americans are probably more familiar with these). that lives on top of my monitor.
He also came with a baby Sammael:
Aww, cute :P.
Been looking at the Evangelion x Wonda-Chan figures over the last couple of months, but for the size of figure, they’re usually pretty expensive. But his one turned up in Mandarake for a good price:
One of the ones I almost bought off a seller had a broken peg, on receiving it, I could understand why – the pegs are long and thin, and her legs are naturally a bit too narrow to peg straight on. For anyone getting this figure, I’d strongly recommend heating her legs to make them pliable.
Here’s her back:
And her cute butt :). Lovely paintwork, lovely colours. Decided to just buy her on her own instead of paying a bit more for the pair, as she’s the one I really wanted :). If I see the Asuka Wanda-Chan for a good price, I’ll buy though :).
Have been thinking of getting a Valkyrie figure for a bit, but saw this colour variation on Facebook buy-sell group. One trip to Mandarake, and this one made its way over the sea to me, for at least half the price:
Compared to the other Eikoh figures I’ve got in this range, this one’s a bit on the disappointing side. Her blade was a bit scuffed up, despite her box still being sealed. Most of her is nicely painted, but she just doesn’t seem to have the same impact as the others.
The back of her also looks kinda plasticky:
Won’t be looking at her back much, so it isn’t a big deal, but maybe a little bit of paint would’ve helped with the expanse of white.
She has grown on me a bit since I’ve got her, so I’m not disappointed by her, and she didn’t exactly break the bank.
This is a figure I’ve had on my Mandarake favourite list for some time:
His box was smaller than I thought it would be, but seems a decent size once out of the box. Here’s his box:
I do like his suit and his pose. And blue and purple. One more for the Evangelion collection 😀
Decided to buy a chunk of stuff from Mandarake, and first thing into my basket was this Figma. Been looking at buying a Drossel figma, but the aftermarket prices on most sites were too much.
And now I finally have her :D. Not familiar with the media she’s in, but love the design. The figma seems nicely detailed:
She’s nice, white n’ shiny :D. Not exactly clamouring to watch the original content, as it’s a joint Disney thing, and I don’t tend to be into anything Disney, and it’s a bunch of skits.
Still, she’ll happily join my collection of robotic and half-robotic things 😀
And here’s the rest of the stuff. that didn’t fit into the previous categories.
Fronts:
Backs:
Don’t know anything about this franchise, but some of these clear files did make me wish I actually had paper to file. Some of sides are quite nicely designed.
I bet the vast majority of the people who owned this have done so through an AmiAmi grab box! Decided to put my current age on the cake. Currently is nestled among the spare room figures.
Initially chucked this item aside, due to it being a fan. Opened it up at the end, and was pleasantly surprised, though not currently sure where I put it… Looks like it may have been an AmiAmi item, as I saw an AmiAmi fan in another loot post with the same fan “spokes” design.
Ooh, shiny! Not quite sure what I’ll do with these, but I do like shiny things. That name wouldn’t fly too well in an English-speaking country though.
Not entirely sure where I put these. One day I’ll dig ‘em out and put ‘em on something.
At the time, I wasn’t too impressed with it, but over time the design kinda grew on me. This was the first I got in this grab box, but since got a 2nd from another grab box. I’ve put the two together, and will probably, maybe put them on my wall of random stuff at some point.
Might put the character badges somewhere, I like the middle one. Not got much to say about these, lol. And I still don’t, a few months down the line.
Overall, the grab box was… OK. The ‘star’ item wasn’t something I was interested in, which brought it down somewhat, but the figures were a nice selection, and on reflection it wasn’t a bad box.
These items fit into the ‘Hanged up’ category of MFC. Not quite as grim as it sounds – these are items like keyrings, phone charms and danglers.
My favourite of the hanged up items I got. No familiarity with the character, but love the design, and this thing is big! The stand also makes it easy to display.
I like Attack on Titan, so this was one of the first things to be added to my rails, when I added them to the study Kallax.
Not familiar with this anime, seen it mentioned on MFC. Initially was headed for the Drawer of Purgatory, but ended up on the hanging rail.
These are… OK. Currently on the hanging rail, but may get “voted off” if I run outta room with quality stuff.
Not familiar with this character, but I like her design. She made it to the hanging rail 🙂 Man, that’s not a great pic I took…
Bit of a crap photo, but I like both of these. Touwa went to the hanging rail, and Chieri hangs off the wardrobe in the bedroom.
From a VN called Utawarerumono. Never heard of it myself. She hangs in one corner of the hanging rails, due to her size.
And that’s it for hangables. Next will be the miscellany that came in the box
