You're mixing "putting two and two together" with "making assumptions". Not the same thing.

If people ask you if you're doing reviews about a specific figure it's because they're curious. If you have a problem with that it's just that. Your problem. Do you get it now?

Putting 2 and 2 together.

Guy makes toy reviews. For about 5 years.

Guy gets a new toy. He likes it.

Put those 2 together, use a bit of logical reasoning, and bam; awnsered your own question.

Now be quiet. =P

First off, you assume I actually care about your reviews enough to know that you've been doing them that long. Or that you've done over 150. There's nothing "logical" about that. Those were assumptions on your part. And they were incorrect as it turns out- I've seen a handful and even those I skimmed through.

Anyhow, I knew you did reviews. I knew you liked it. However, assuming that you're definitely going to do a review is just that. So I asked you a simple little question that required a simple little answer. I won't make that mistake again as you don't actually seem able to answer simple questions. Btw, the word you were looking for was "yes". Protip: don't tell people to stop. It just encourages them to do otherwise.

That is a magnificent looking figure - but would it better under the 'toy' or 'model' category?

Mostly luck. I keep in touch with a certain circle of collectors, and sometimes it pays off. At this point in my life, I am so far from "rich", I'd need the Hubble telescope just to see it. Of course, if I didn't buy kaiju toys...nah. That's crazy talk. :lol:

Pre-built model is most accurate, I suppose.

I'm fairly certain we lump the two together, Rody.

Fantastic figure! I'm pretty sure there's a Gorosaurus in the same series... Though for some reason he's a bit small. I've also seen a magnificent Earhtron by Marmit.

The Goro runs slightly smaller than earlier models, but he's still about 15" measuring from nose to tail.

Well, I define a toy by it's "playability factor". Bandai's are obviously toys, for example, but I'm guessing X-Plus figures cannot be considered such.

Alright, just scored me a Bandai Megaguirus movie theater version. This guy was literally selling it for $25 in NEW condition! Only disappointing part is that it might not get here until the end of June/early July according to shipping. But I'm happy I found it.

Megaguirus is a good, detailed figure - I have the GxM Blister pack with Godzilla, Meganulon, Meganuron, Megaguirus, and the Griffon airship. The only problem with the figure is balancing it on its legs to display. Not sure if other people experienced this issue. That's why I just kept Megaguirus, and the other figures inside the blister pack.

Grats. That's the cheapest price I've heard of in a western market. I sold one to a TK member a while back for $45, and that was a good $20-30 cheaper than the cheapest eBay listings.

Alright, it's been a bit, so I figured I'd post some my recent acquisitions. Btw, I think the X-Plus '03 might be my favorite X-Plus figure now. If not, then it's 2nd, only to Biollante. It's a close call.

X-Plus 30cm Goji '03 as he awaits the arrival of a resin Kiryu:

Man, that Goji 64 looks pathetic in this shot, haha:

X-Plus Ltd 25cm Goji '64 with Metroid Gunship in background (yes it lights up!):
Image

X-Plus Belial, with poor lighting but eh:
Image

My "stylized" shelf aka M1 Matango fever:

EDIT -
Gamera Heisei collection (manager to puzzle-piece Iris in there):
Image

EDIT -
But also, I got my Iris in today. All I can say is that this thing is f**ked up. And I mean that in a good way. Detail is awesome, and this thing is so frickin' big, I don't know where I'm going to put it. It's f**ked up. Mainly just because of her tentacles.

Some detail shots:

Hey! You got that rocket pro 95 eh! With that and you selling that Large Scale 95 to Hesei I may never forgive you...haha.

We have similar taste in Gamera Items, I kept the three x plus 8inchers, but otherwise we have the same figures. I do need to assemble my mini legion soldier, and have always wanted the xplus Gyaos 95, in my opinion the best sculpt that beast has ever gotten.

Congrats on the Iris and G03, I love mine too!

Don't have enough posts to show pics, put my HG Burning Fist Gamera '99 and clear Irys just came from Japan today along with some other assorted HGs. I'm very pleased with the deputy site I used.
