    Long day of moving hay but I started building the feet tonight.

    That's a surprising amount of parts compared to Bandai's Figure-Rise series but to the benefit of the kit's size, it does factor towards the articulation. I will take advantage of it for my paint scheme.

    Cement fusing the ankle components, but I needed to use my 4" clamps to squeeze them together.

    Wired on coffee and can't get to sleep, so I did some paint mixing tonight. I came up with a better recipe to match the violet-gray plastic for the Dimension Studios Ultraman.

    *these are Testors Model Master acrylic colors*

    Received the potential ticking time bomb that is SHF Tiga yesterday. Haven't even cut the tape on the box to peek inside yet, tempted to sell it off sight unseen but part of me is curious, and it would go nicely with my Golzas, old and new when that one ships. Hmmm.

    BBTS should, but it’ll be pricey through them if that happens. Would not recommend them as a first resort for an exclusive SHF.

    $130 for Trigger Dark at BBTS. I wonder how many they had for preorder.

    Probably very few. I used them for King Joe Custom and I feel like it was maybe one or two orders total.

    Can't actually get to the Japanese webshop again, feel like Bandai stepped up their IP blocking sometime recently, blah.

    Congrats.

    I see BBTS did apaprently have Kyriel up for preorder. -_- They never got Golza though, did they?

    It also seems like Golza is no longer available to order from Nippon Yasan either (at least, when I looked at it a few weeks ago). I just don't get why Bandai is making it so hard to get figures these days.

    Got the Dynaction Shin Ultraman. Outstanding figure. One of my favorites for ‘21. I am just a casual Ultraman fan but I LOVE the Shin design, reserved and appropriately alien looking. I always wanted a big Ultraman and the light-up eyes are bright and easy to access.

    My modest collection not much to look at.

    Best of luck to those that are going out of their way to enter!

    What does it mean by lottery sale?

    When you apply for a specific item that is under lottery sale, you may be randomly chosen to be able to purchase the item you applied for.

    Why am I suddenly thinking about Thunderdome? Spin the Wheel!!!
    -
    Mail got dropped off at my parents house up the road, the driver saw the last name didn't realize it wasn't the same address. No matter.

    I finally had a chance to watch season one of the anime adaptation so I wanted to start the manga.

    I'll get back to work on the Eastern Model kits soon enough.
