Got Anything On Pre-Order?

[Spencer Baculi (BIC EIC)]

As a single male in the 18-45 demographic with no hope of escaping America's current economic enshitification, I collect A LOT of figures.

I'm sure I'm not alone, so fellow toy collectors, I wanna know what you've got coming down the pipeline!

I just had a bunch of pre-orders come in - Marvel Legends MvC series, the Evangelion and Hastune Miku Blockee models, and a 30 Minute Sister model kit - so my upcoming items are actually surprising scarce.

However, of note is the Square Enix FFVII Bring Arts Zack Fair (The last figure I need to complete the full set):


And perhaps the best little Miku figure ever made:



SO yeah, whatcha guys got on deck?!

You are absolutely not alone, “the world is burning so I buy plastic joy” is honestly a whole demographic at this point

That FFVII Zack is a killer get, Bring Arts has been on a roll lately. I’m mostly in model kits and smaller figures right now to keep my shelves from collapsing, have a Kotobukiya Megaman X kit and a Nendoroid Power from Chainsaw Man on the way. After that I’m trying (keyword: trying) to not preorder anything for a while.

Do you buy with “completion” in mind or just whatever hits the brain dopamine button in the moment?

I try not to. I don’t want a house full of figures or statues that I eventually won’t care about. It took me a really long time to only buy things that really speak to me and what I feel like I can’t live without rather than what the coolest thing is currently available.

I also have a bunch of cats that pee on things out of spite. They just peed inside my computer, which is a whole thing. And have peed on my movies before. If they did that to brand new expensive figures I’d be livid.

The short answer is no, I don’t preorder anything.
