Go Voltron Force!

 

I was born as a 80s child I was fortunate enough to see the original series for quite a few master pieces including Ninja Turtles, Transformers, He Man and of course Voltron. As to date I have been very against reboots so I was a little hesitant to pick up Voltron Force but this gem of a series actually has me hooked! I love the revised look of the lions with the weapons attachments, tails and feline curves. This series totally reminds me of the Voltron I grew up with and the addition of the cadets really provides a fresh approach to the series! Well done for a successful reboot!

 

This set was shown at the San Diego Comicon in 2012 to date no release data has been sent out but man it's a beast!

 

Torinity Strazor- Souji version

As we all know this is Kyoryu Silvers signature attack but a few episodes ago Torin decided to personally teach Souji after finding the missing spirit that he required this is his version! The effects are amazing!!!

Tokyuger Thoughts

I was keeping my silence hoping the rumour mill was false but so it seems pardon the pun. Tokyuger looks like a train wreck. I's like they blew the budget on Kyouruger. Ah well I will be skipping this year's sentai title. My very general rule is if I don't like the suits I don't watch the production.

Hot Toys Iron Man Mk39 Starboost

Starboost is probably my favourite suit from the house party protocol. Unfortunately it did not get the screen time which it deserves. At least Hot Toys is going in the right direction. I'm really conflicted at the moment I'm tossing up between this or the Dragon release.

World of Warcraft Horde Keychain

I was on Pop Cultcha and found this little gem. I recently got back into WOW and have leveled a new character to Level 68. As the Paladin class reminded me of Thor and Asgardians in general I named my character Asgardian. So the keychain what do I intend to do? Our guild is a small operation between close friends so I intend to get these and engrave our character names onto them.

Happy New Year! Let The Toy Archives Begin!

It is the 1/1/14 and ODU is now it's sixth year.With a new year comes new projects! This new project is a picture journal called Toy Archives which documents what we bought and what we thought of getting monthly. I thought it would be a funny way to write a journal about collecting in general and to see which purchases made it to the collection! I have a funny story about this actually. I was originally intending to do this privately on my phone via an app. The app was called Everybody! Scrapbooking. The functionality was great but it was not for everybody... The designs were so  girly I couldn't bring myself to use it. So I resorted to PowerPoint. I will start off the Archives with purchases and thoughts carried over from 2013!

 

By the end of 2013 I saw the need of getting a new cabinet. With this in mind I made the decision to begin a power rangers/sentai collection. I put in a order for the SH Figuarts Power Ranger figures already available on the market (I should have them by Monday!). I also had the thought of expanding my Iron Man collection to general Marvel and my Batman collection to a blanket DC collection. Bad bad idea! Now I cant keep my eyes off the Square Enix DC Kai figures!
