Raison d'Etre

Here you'll see my obscure collection of 6-inch mostly Japanese action figures (not to be confused with "dolls").

Why Japanese figures? High levels of detail and articulation aimed at more appreciative collectors wanting more than what a typical Western action figure offers. If you want to recreate your favorite movie character's action pose on your desk, read on!

Revoltech Spider-Man pre-orders are live!

It's official as of Oct. 4/2016, pre-orders for Revoltech Spider-Man have started with a forecast release timeframe of late Jan. 2017.  Price is similar to their Deadpool figure, roughly 5,000 Yen.  

Over a month ago an early prototype was revealed.  Images of the latest sample figure look great: the shiny blue paint looks superb and the articulation looks equally impressive, though I wonder can this Spidey do the splits?  Including a (fridge) magnet that the stand/clamp attaches to is a novel idea though it doesn't look like a regular base with articulating arm will be included sadly, just the "third leg" post.  Hopefully the final product will rectify this as we won't always have fridges nearby to display Spidey in some off-the-wall poses (pun somewhat intended).
