Picked up a S.H. Figuarts Yoshi figure the other day. These are great figures and I love all the accessories they come with. The Mario figure from the same line can also ride Yoshi which is pretty cool. With lack of space and not wanting to lose the accessories I'll be keeping them boxed for the time being.

Also bought a Boston Red Sox Dustin Pedroia baseball figure from McFarlane. Pedroia is the current Second Baseman on the team. When I was younger I used to collect the baseball Starting Lineup figures. I'm not looking to collect these figures now, I just want to get a few figures. Pedroia is my favorite player (very scrappy ball player) and I'd also like to get David Ortiz, the power hitter who is in his last season playing.

These will look great with my Red Sox shelf.

Awesome trade package from Erik AraƱa of Boss Fight Studios full of ?#?VitruvianHACKS? goodness!

The wrist armor and knife are for my Gorgon Empress and High Priestess respectively. The Amazon skirt is for a future custom and the unexpected bonus heads will find homes as parts for future projects!

Not a fan of the soft rubber neck, but it is otherwise a nice looking dragon.

I finally got the Eaglemoss "Doctor Who" Emperor Dalek Mega Figurine I ordered back on the 4th of July during their 50% off sale!




Initially they sent me the wrong figurine and it took another week to get the right one out to me (they let me keep the incorrect figurine) so now it can finally take its place at the head of my Dalek forces!




Here is a cool dio shot:



P.S. - This is the incorrect figurine they told me to keep:



The paintwork on the little Dalek is really sloppy so it needs a complete repaint (it is the proper scale to work with my other 60's Daleks).

Went searching for the last Kaiju from "Pacific Rim" with no success but I did come home with some goodies.



I picked up these 2 "Animal Planet" deep sea sets as the large sea creatures are just awesome looking!



I also scored these 2 items for $.03 each!


The tree monster I got just for his club.  The bird guy with the griffon's sword is broken off/missing, but I gave him a cool spear instead.

EDIT:  While breaking down all of the cardboard, I found the broken off sword and glued it back onto the hilt so the bird guy is complete :)

Few more Mario pickups this past week.

- Tanooki Mario and Goomba in the 2.5" line.

- Another SH Figuarts level display. This one comes with a coin, Buzzy Beetle, 2 red pipes (big and small), and a Piranha Plant you can place in the pipes.

I hit FYE after work today and picked up this awesome "Doctor Who" K-9 keyring to use with my 3.75" figures.





You can see here that it is just about PERFECTLY scaled for use with the 3.75" "Doctor Who" line!



 
Comparison between the figural air freshener (l) I was previously using in my display and the new key ring (r) to show scale.



I am debating painting the collar in the colors of the 4th Doctor's scarf and the neck black to match most of the props used on the show (the current blue collar and silver neck appeared far less frequently on the show).

After work TRU haul!



I found a third Metroid :)



The Papo Cyberdragon was clearanced at $3.48.

The "True Legends" tree monster was clearanced at $.03 just like the one I got last weekend, but the cashier gave it to me for free as they were supposed to pull them from the floor!


Here are some better looks at the Papo Cyberdragon:
