Hello Everyone,

Hope you're having a good holiday with family and friends!

I'm actually surprised I'm still collecting as I have been slowing down immensely and after having such a roller coaster of a year. We had lost a family member that has been near and dear to my heart. My pup was taken by cancer. She has been by my side for the past 13.5 years and it's crazy to think how much I have experienced with her in that time - from my college days to my settled life now. I hope I gave her the best life she could ever ask for. Not wanting to leave a hole in my heart, we had actually added more furry members to our family in the hopes that we can carry the love that we received from our first girl's passing.

I have a saying that I tell myself whenever I think of her and that's "I hope you have the sun on your back, grass on your paws and the wind on your face wherever you go." She will be missed.

Now, after a moment of gathering myself, I wanted to give you guys an end of year update. I promised I would show you some of my non-gaming related additions (as I'm sure you guys care about this /s) but I am proud of them nonetheless.

To start, we have some of the Frank Kozik's Marvel and DC Labbit series that I keep around as my computer buddies. These are the 7" figures that were made from the mini blind boxes.



Speaking of blind boxes, I've been helping my SO collect the Horror mini blind boxes, which I believe have 3 series so far. These are in no discernable order but Series 1 and Series 2 are being held inside the shadowbox.



And here is what she has collected for the Sci-fi series.



Her pride and joy (only because I bought them for her for her birthday and for Christmas) are these massive statues - first one being the T-Rex and Triceratops by Sideshow's Dinosauria line and the second being the Alien King, also by Sideshow.



The amount of detail in these is amazing. I love the quality of work and how they portrayed them.



Okay, now for what this website is made for. First off, we have additions to lines I have been already collecting for - another Zelda console (this time for the 2DS), The Bioshock Collection 10th Anniversary Edition with statue (I haven't opened this yet and debating on whether or not I should as I don't really have the room to display it.), and two more Dark Horse ship replicas of the Vulture in original and Red Variant.



I've already shown the original purple Rock Candy of Moxxi but wanted to have her side by side with her Red Chase variant. I would also love to have more statues of Portal but these Pop! figures will do.



And as always, I love to end the update on statues, so here are three of my favorite gaming licenses that have been added to my collection - The Clicker Exclusive Edition, Uncharted 4's Nathan Drake and Shoreline Soldier, and Halo: Forward Unto Dawn's McFarlane's Master Chief vs. Hunter. This just about completes my Halo statues. There are a few bust and helmet statues that I considered getting but if they come at the right price, otherwise, I'm okay with calling this complete. One of these days I'll set up an album or post for just the Halo statues.









I hope everyone has a great rest of the year and keep your updates coming. I love to see what people are collecting. Even if I slow down on my collection, I still come to this site almost everyday to check on the Introductions and Show-offs.

Happy Holidays!

Hey Everyone! Doing my update here.

If it hasn't been obvious, I've been collecting less and less but I'm still in the 'game', so to speak. I've still been playing games but not as often as I would like. For those of you who still have me on your friend's list may notice my games have been sporadic.


Funny enough, the games I do buy are for a system I don't even play. I plan to get a PS4 Pro. I just haven't found the allocation of funds for it yet, ha.



Apparently, I still collect for Destiny. I don't know why but I like that damn ghost design. I know a lot of people complained about the Alexa-enabled one. I definitely paid way too much for it (retail) but you live and you learn. Along with those vinyls, I have the Loot Crate Bioshock Big Daddy and the Halo Icons Sgt. Johnson and Guilty Spark. I probably should've taken him out of the package the more I'm looking at this picture but oh well.



Damn Flatout convinced me on two occasions and they're both Darksiders. I bought the Triforce's Death and Dust statue. Mine was shipped broken at the knee and I was able to fix the statue and recoup some of the cost. I had heard Flatout was able to get a refund on his as well. The other item below is the Press Kit version of Death's Mask that was made out of what appears to be some kind of resin along with the Collector's Edition for comparison. I think 75% of my Darksiders collection is because of him. I guess I can't complain, I do enjoy their merch. (I haven't even played the games)





Here we have the regular limited edition of Borderlands' Handsome Jack's Butt Stallion. Isn't she a beaut?! I am still searching for the right price on the Diamond Edition of this, so we'll see if I can complete this set.



And, last but not least, we end on a statue. Here is Gaming Head's Skyrim's Glass Armor statue. A lot cooler in person, I promise.



Until next time, fellow collectors!

I will make a Darksiders fan out of you yet g6t9ed! You gotta play the games though! Maybe try Darksiders 3 at least when it launches

Gotta admit that statue was a hell of a deal... still cannot believe getting a 1/3rd scale for $200 shipped. Oh and you bought that Press Only mask!? That is a really nice piece as well... and VERY rare (love mine). The base is very unique on those too.

I do want to play them but I'm afraid I'm going to start it and at some point life will get in the way. I'm going to come back to the game half a year down the road and ask myself, "What was I doing?"

At that point, I'm not gonna want to start over and I'm gonna want to finish it but begrudgingly turn it back off...

1 only takes like 8 hours on a fairly fast playthrough (for me finding most tings it only too like 14 hours or so). So you should be able to beat that fairly quickly if you play it one weekend and just pound through the story.

2 is far longer. Maybe 14 hours if you hurry through the story (but usually well over 20).

Hope you do at some point... the lore and world are so awesome IMO (love 1... War is the man ). Really looking forward to Darksiders 3!

Nice update. Can't regret that Death statue, he's a giant!
Still waiting for my glass armor. Looks like GH didn't botch this one at least...

Okay, you have me convinced. I might as well if I'm going to be collecting these things, lol

Thank you! I hope to see the unboxing on your channel when you receive it. Did you get the Regular or Exclusive?

Reg...was much cheaper for me. The EX axe looked nice but I didn't like the extra portrait so I thought it was not worth it for me.

I can understand that. Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten the Ex if it wasn't for me trying to keep my numbers the same since they don't transfer between Ex and Reg. The ore in the other hand is a nice bonus though.
