Ah, right. That huge box doesn’t include Super Ginrai, does it?

Giftset?

I preordered this like a few hours after it was announced, so I wound up getting it for a bit below retail, but it still set me back ¥23,000.
Which seemed like a *lot* for Godbomber
But then I remember regular-ass Ginrai had an MSRP of ¥24,000+ and Bomber feels like an absolute steal by comparison

Those steps look to be a lot more user-friendly than the Legends version.
Or at least the instructions are a bit less ambiguous.

The combination process to get God Ginrai is *fifty-three* steps! 😭

There have been a bunch of great Double Dragon games…they’re called Streets of Rage and Final Fight 😂

I *thought* I was done with toy collecting ten years ago, and moved on, but there were some truly spectacular figures released after I considered my collection “finished”.
Those “truly spectacular” figures are above and beyond anything I imagined possible. And I’ve got ‘em now. 😃

If I’m still around in 2026, I’m done with new stuff and focusing on filling in holes.

I’ve been buying the same dozen characters, again and again, for forty goddamn years and it’s time to say that enough is enough.

It has been awhile since I’ve played any of the Double Dragon games, but…”steaming hot ass” pretty much sums up how I remember the orig trig 😜

So we get human MCD David Tennant along with lover Rose Tyler and BFF Donna Noble in the real universe while the one true 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa gets to go fight Daleks, meet Peter Capaldi, and figure out what that thing with the Master in a gold tooth was all about

God Ginrai is my Transformers bias, followed by Fortress Maximus.
There have been rumors of an MPG Fort Max (released in multiple, very expensive) pieces.
My two faves used to command a relatively small surface area 😭

If I don’t make it immediately clear that I am not cool with bigots, folks can and do assume the worst.
So I’m gonna keep being a nerdy workaholic salaryman AND show my support for LGBTQ folks

I’ve met a whole lot of cool trans people and I want to show my support.
But also, I am a middle-aged white mega-nerd who moved to Japan.
People make certain assumptions.
One of my black coworkers once said, “when I first saw you, I thought here’s a guy who sings ALL the words to Golddigger”
