Clearly, October's photo contests' theme is Halloween! And now, the details:

Rules

Send your submissions to toypixx@gmail.com, and let me know which contest(s) the pic(s) is (or are) for. Also include your social media accounts so I can send people your way.

Prizes

This month's prizes are pretty rad! First, the Patreon contest winner will receive the Jada Toys SDCC exclusive Violent Ken, and the YouTube winner will receive a GI Joe Classified Retro Cobra Commander (I have him, he's rad)!

Good luck to everyone who enters!

PICTURE-PERFECT PREORDERS


S.H.Figuarts went INSANE this week! They put up a ton of things for preorder, including a couple reissues and new figures from Dragon Ball Daima.

But the big news, at least for yours truly, is the 1.5-ish versions of some beloved Star Wars characters! They sold out fast, so if you missed 'em, I have links to Amazon Japan down below. As of my typing this, they've still got 'em!

Oh, and uhh, there's other rad stuff, as well.

NOTE: Entertainment Earth, eBay, and HobbyLink Japan links are affiliate links, which means I get a cut of the sale at no extra cost to you

AND WITH THAT


Holy geez! I forgot to make any kind of caffeine joke. And I think it's because no amount of caffeine could handle all the sleeplessness of the week.

Honestly, I'm gonna need direct lines to all the coffee bean farms.

Have fun, and happy snapping!

Marvel Legends (and Toy Biz's Spider-Man Classics before it) were the main gateways to everything you've seen me do as far as videos, livestreams, and photos. So it's weird to think I may never get another one. But after showcasing their brand-new Maximum Spider-Man, I realized the one thing I want them to do (make a ball-peg waist...

Of course, that was a couple centuries before the internet. Though it was also around 1,000 years after coffee was discovered. Lucky guy. These days, as with pretty much all human history, many have opinions on things they're woefully ignorant of. The internet amplifies said ignorance. And in toy collecting, pricing seems to be the...
