Bootleg: X-Plus Super Majin Buu (13 inch)

New, a round of applause to anyone who can drop 3 digits on a figure without having that immense feeling of regret. You win. You have everything. But, to all my fellow poor people. I know you all are busy splitting your last bake bean under an overpass. I just want to let you know, "your important too." 

So, I bought this X-Plus Super Majin Buu PVC figure from Aliexpress. Not bad I must say. Not bad at all. I spent maybe about $40 when it retails at 80-100. The paint job looks great. Not really much you could goof. A few years ago though, buying a bootleg figure seemed to be something I was most afraid. Research for an online retailer would take weeks. Screening reviews and cross referencing them from different sites was a must. Checking out message boards and youtube video. Interrogating and waterboarding sketchy eBay sellers. I did it all (except for the last thing, kinda). But I don't even know what to say at this point. Like, bootlegs really aren't that bad when it comes to an alternative to buy a costly figures. And when I say figure, I'm talking mainly PVC. Don't worry you sweet little head over bootlegs figures with articulation, best leave that shit to a legit purchase.

Bootleg: Neca Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtal Figure

I've been up on my Scrooge Mcduck lately. Saving every penny for when my girlfriend and I move out at the end of spring. I want to be financially set on rent and utilities months in advance, soooo I haven't really been balling like I use to. No more faberge eggs, golden chalices and burberry key chains. Now its just $0.89 tissue paper and Kroger brand parmesan cheese. But about two months ago, I felt the urge to buy some shit. So I did. I went on AliExpress with the intention of buying a "Master Stars Piece" 10 inch Vegeta PVC figure. Which I did mind you, but with the added inclusion of 13 other items.

Now, AliExpress is a site known for a it's knock-off items. So when I saw an figure titled: "NECA TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection Michelangelo Action Figure 5'' New In Box." I knew that shit was a goddamn bootleg off the rip, but I'm cool with that. It's not like I'm buying an obviously fake SUPREME X THE NORTH FACE jacket for around 60 bucks. No one should pay more than $20 for anything inauthentic. But this Michelangelo figure was kinda dope and only17.99, so I'm technically not a chump. Just $2.01 shy of that.

After about a month of waiting, I finally got my figure and I was surprised. Surprised by a horrible fucken stench coming from the box. It's a fine looking product. But damn! I had to let it air out for most of the day. Any who, here's a review of the same figure:

Figures

I've been really into figures for sometime and just recently started buying Revoltech figures. Dope articulation and very well proportioned. Damn, I'm going to be broke...

Kosplay - Ajee x K.OLin

Ajee and K.OLin join forces to celebrate Tomenosuke's 6th Anniversary, by releasing this beautiful Kosplay set. I would say, "Hey, buy this shit, like, right now!" But I've seen cars that cost much less.
