Recent Acquisitions - Other Toys and Figures

[Eocarcharia]

Found these newly stocked at Walmart today.

Wait...Bandai doesn't make Godzilla figures anymore?

Wait...Bandai doesn't make Godzilla figures anymore?

@Loon
No. They still do, unfortunately there has been a rumor going around that Playmates "bought" Bandai. They are just doing things that look a lot like Bandai. More or less, these exist because Godzilla vs. Kong got delayed and the toys got delayed in turn. But they still had contracts saying they needed toys, so they needed to look to something to "reference", that being Bandai.

[CityRaptor]

Well, those look a bit better than the SpaceGodzilla pictures I've seen. I mean, come on, that does look like a bootleg:

Playmates one on the right. Bandai on the left.
Of course those are not sold here in Germany, so that isn't an issue for me anyways.

The Playmates Monsterverse figures turned up in Kmart Australia. They're OK, but I hope we get something better further along down the track. They've sold well though - there were a whole bunch of them a week ago but today when I went in there were only a couple of Kongs left.

[Dinoxels]

It's a shame it will be a while until we get up to date monsterverse toys, considering Godzilla vs. Kong's delay.

Not very recent actually but these are the only non prehistoric figures I have bought, the newer whales toob and dolphins toob from Safari ltd

[sauroid]

those look cool Jose S.M. are they very well detailed for their size?

[Jose S.M.]

The dolphins are mostly smooth, being dolphins hehe but they are for the most part well painted, although I retouched the paint in a couple of them due to minor imperfections. The whales are more detailed, specially the humpback, right and grey whales since they have more bumps and textures.

[sauroid]

that's awesome. i might be getting that toob soon. thanks.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

I ended up however with 34 points during one grocery run and thus could get six figures immediately.

Congrats!

Edit: Just saw, they have a Great White. This one is for me.

I'm unsure whether to put this here or in the other Recent Acquisitions thread, since it is a dinosaur, albeit an extant one, but I figured I'd stick it here since the other thread seems to focus on extinct animals, dinosaur or no.








I've had my eye on this big fellow for about ten years now, and I finally decided to spring for him when I saw him marked down about 80%. Let me just say, he is huge. He's 75cm tall (29.5in) and 106cm from beak to tail (41.7in). He absolutely dwarfs my other Gyps plushies. Feels good to finally get him after covetously eyeing him for so long. He's my second major collectible purchase this year, but the first one is still on preorder. So far, the only good thing I can say about this year is that I managed to snag two pricey items that I wasn't sure I'd ever get my hands on. 2020 is a dumpster fire, but I guess I got my consolation prizes?

I think I'll name this guy Thaddeus.

[Halichoeres]

Thad's a lot of vulture. Is he supposed to be a Griffon?

[Libraraptor]

What a big vulture!

[PrimevalRaptor]

I usually don't collect mammals, but this big lad was too cool to pass on!

[CityRaptor]

Congratulations. While I did not collect points and animals, I noticed that the Edeka near me only had Cobras left during my last crocery shopping. Dozens of them.

My S.H.MonsterArts Nargacuga arrived yesterday, so here are some pictures.

[EmperorDinobot]

that is one heck of a dragon oml

[PrimevalRaptor]

Yoooo, Nargacuga is one of my favorite MH dragons, congratulations on that model!

Speaking of Monster Hunter, got this Xeno'jiiva figure from my mum for St. Nicholas Day, very pleasant surprise, love the translucency!



And on a more 'real' level of animal, the Schleich Great White joined my desk, it has a few tiny scuffs on the other side of it's face but I just really love the shape of it.
