Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
@Bitterpill thanks man! Your figure looks legit! @Bansheebot yeah I love playing the resident evil games and most things Zombies so these spoke to me. I have yet to find better zombie toys. In my opinion no one does zombies like the Japanese. The pupils are even detailed with green on the face eaten one and pinkish red on the Christopher Walken visceral guts. I was impressed with their detail in hand.
This guy arrived last week!! One of the softest toys I own, super squishy and looks fantastic! Always a risk buying marbled figures.. this one has great patterning and lighter colours on prominent details which is exactly what I wanted.
What's risky about marbled figures? Just getting aesthetically unfortunate blending, or can marbling impact the squishiness of the toy?
That specimen is stunning. Love it!

Yeah sometimes the swirls just don't look great.. the squishiness is no problem!
Thanks, Glenn! Definitely loving that it's cast in glitter vinyl and painted over as such. Hoping to acquire a couple TE Moon Knights to accompany him!
back at it after a small hiatus. The Blobpus toys really grew on me, as I don't really go for the "creepy/gross" aesthetic too much, and they are the most intense clear pink I own.
The Horvath is a cute mini that I picked up still bagged after all these years. The bag didn't last too long once I got a hold of it!

Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
Got a stack of minis in the mail yesterday.. I love the chunky style of the M1 figures.. feels like the walls are twice as thick as any other toy. Very generous vinyl pours!!
I hadn't seen any pictures the new Badzilla Battle Set here yet, so here's a quick shot (hidden in case you don't want to be spoiled):
I really like the Frankenstein dude! The paint was done in a clever way that makes him look like he was created from a yellow and a green body. It's a fun set. Nice simple paints on the Badzilla too.
Apologies for the quick iPhone shot AND for cropping the top of the Badzilla!

Very happy that I finally snagged this guy! Also surprised that the vinyl is blue
This is sweet! The colors make it resemble a classic Chinese figure. Gotta get me one!

Man, that trio looks fuckin' fantastic together. I'd have to say the Wing Shit is my favorite, though.
It's a no brainer . . . Astro Zombies x Pushead x Secret Base x HxS x Takeshit . . . most awesome collaboration EVER!
