let the geeking commence-pt 2

okay. I need to get this out of the way cause i feel so hung up about NOT doing it. Now I know how serial bloggers feel.

ANYWAY.

Okay.

Little stuff in this pic is a Mew- I saw the first Pokemon Movie where Mew came out. Cute, but out of my realm. There’s a nifty Unicorn I got in Leavensworth-a cute little bavarian style town in Washington State. And three worden duck decoy ornaments- mallard, wood and pintail. I learned about duck decoys wile working at Rocky Mountain and LOVE ducks, so this was up my alley. There’s also a resincast swan- not a part of that collection, but suitable for placement up there.

Big stuff- a boxed ent- he has a little pippin and merry in there! squee! And a statue-model of the freaky-ass-Undertaker. I miss the Old Undertaker. Boo to that Big Red Boohsheet. I heard he went all old-school again, was on a recent pay-per-view… I saw the preview and a shiver went down my spine… in fear. There’s also some DVD’s… and My chinzy-ass stereo! Woo! Naw. This thing bumps pretty good. We never use it cause we have a much sweeter stereo on the living room. I put it there so no one can lay claim on it.

The boxed stuff includes Vandala and Oblivia form the second series of that Lady Death Collection. There’s also some of these neat-o japanese tys I found in a Comic Book shop in the Metreon in SF- geez, like 5 Years ago. They’re horror based… we have Gilleala- a Creature from the Black Lagoon thing- she has an Octopus on her BOOB, and finned hands and feet…  Phaetana, from the Phantom of the Opera- she’s pretty hot ina creepy scoop-out-your-eyeballs-with-a-melon-baller kind of way. I totally should have moved the blank stack of CD’s . bah.

Okay, We’ve moved over. Some of my BF’s stuff is here… like the ORIGINAL METAL VOLTRON-I’m not allowed to even TOUCH it. And the… uhm.. Ghost Rider. There’s also a bootleg Vegeta and a completely unassembled Gundam. I have an assembled deathscythe- the thing’s legs fall off way too often. It’s bettah in teh box, methinks.

There’s also a wooden pintail duck from the last pic’s collection. And the feet of a creepy clown. Rudy Collects clowns- that one’s wind up mechanism is wonky- it statrs suddenly and it’s rigged to move it’s head. I hate that thing.

Boxed toys are Meryl Stryfe-I never saw trigun, do not ask me about it- she was a cute girl doll with 20 derringers and I bought it for $2. and Vampire Hunter D- from Bloodlust. Awesome. I loved that flick. I wish I got that bitch on her unibike. Or the crazy out-of-body-guy.

Okay- these ang above our closet door. We have Gail from Sin City. Gil-galad from LOTR. a REAL Vegeta ( Rudy’s, i swear- I hate dragonballZ.) Sam Hain from the Extreme Ghost Buters ( again, rudy’s) Captain Spaulding (Rudy’s) from House of 1000 Corpses.

There’s Cpatain Spaulding again, woot. GrimSkull from Skeleton Warriors ( the bad guys are made from Bone, it’s fuckin SICK!) a glow in the dark Lord of the Dead from LOTR, A Morgul King Ringwrath from LOTR (His head cavity is REALLY HOLLOW, how cool!) A new seies MOTU Skeletor (he actually looks SCARY now) and a Wringwraith on a horse figurine.

Now, the Crowning piece of my Collection-

My Amon form the Devilman Anime actually came from Japan. My brother was in the Navy during my Birthday and happened to be in Japan. I asked him before he left- if he ever went to Japan, to check out the Devilman figures.  Not only did he do that, he used up precious hold space designated for his belongings to bring me home a TOY FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I think that was one of the only times I hugged him.

 There are much more toys in my room, but I only showed you mine. Rudy wouldn’t want me touting his junk online as mine so I regrained. He too has sick devilman figures, some Evil Dead figures and even EVEN- Misfit dolls. rock.

Okay. That’s done. I gots ta go. Laundry. whee.

later y’all.

let the Geeking commence: pt 1

yaay! or whatever.

The other day, I was reading a blog about a toy collector. He had opened a box of a toy that was almost as old as I was and was talking about how fun it was to play with it.

And I immediately thought “YOU FUCKING OPENED IT!? YOU TOTALLY JUST RUINED THE VALUE, YOU BASTARD!” 

And then I stopped thinking. Cause then I realized I sounded like a total geek. For a moment, I felt shame.

Here I was, cool little kitty- all the wold knows about me is that I’m some craaaazy dame who knows too much about booze, spends way too much money on sweaters and knows more about metal than most boys.

And that Kitty was a fraud. Well, not a fraud. Think of it as me as Chet from Airheads. Cause before I started going all crazy metal- i read way too much, wrote way too much and did all things geeky.

I played Vampire. I was the member of a Tolkien Fan Board. I played with my toys until I was twelve. And many of my most valuable and unique toys are still in their plastic coocoons, vowed to never be Opened.

And then- it hit me. No one knows about my Toy Collection. Cause it hides in my room. The Den, as it is. The door stays closed, the blinds drawn. I never get to show people my Hippocampus Puppet, or the Amon my little brother got for me in Japan- they have their places on the shelves, hanging on their pegs.  Mine’s not a complete or impressive collection by any standards, but it IS mine. I wake up, with Gail staring me in the face, and fall asleep to the Lord of the Dead as my night light.

Many of these need explanations, so I will do this in a 2 part series. Hope you don’t mind.

So- Lemme see here.

Oh! Cyborg Bunny and the Frost Doll. Those are Stop Motion Dolls I made in College. Same with the Hippocampus on the opposite end of the Image. My babies.

There’s a lot of mishmash up there- My collections have no order, other than I buy Sculpted Female Toys when I can. There’s a howling wolfman I got some years ago from a fast food joint. A dragon toy I stole from Evan almost ten years ago. A poison Dart frog, a cat vinyl toy i like cause it’s all hissing and shit. A cute buddha statue, a Fisher Price giraffe, an albino alligator ( from the SF zoo when they had one!). A pink Unicorn,  an otter on a rock ( I think that’s my OLDEST toy…) a merbaby I picked up at the flea Market cause he was cute and you can see his bummycrack, and a pouncing Simba.

The bigger ones are- Raziel, from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (I used that toy as a model for light test paintings in College!)… Rare, Black-skinned Akira and Mikki from Devilman, right behind Mikki is Cloud from FF:VII ( I bought him in a box set from my First Comic-Con.. i think all that’s left is him and the Frog.) New-Era Sabertooth-with kicking action!- Wolfgirl from X-Men and Princess Leia in Slave Getup.

On the extreme bottom is a nifty little bat Guy from some old Batman Villain. I think he could have been from Man-Bat, but I don’t remember. * oo, research!* And some random Tiger-robot-girl I got from a going-out-of-business gamestore. Supa-hot with a bevy of hands to swap out.

And The boxed Items on the way top? The First series of AMC’s Brian Pulido Collection, Sculpted by Clayburn Moore. Glow in the Dark Lady Demon, Purgatori, Lady Death and Evil Ernie (which is a total ripoff of Eddie, mang.) Those four hung over my bed all through HighSchool.

Okay, you can see we scooted over.

New Randomness on the shelf includes a fallen over Rinoa from FF:VIII ( I have Zell somewhere too… ), translucent Tonberry (watch out, they’ll cut you!) , some scuffed-up cute bat statue from Jackson, a fallen over frog that I mentioned Earlier, A animal-haired Chivote , some howling wolf that perfectly fits the skull-masked bad guy from Willow, and the Yeti from Monsters Inc. There’s also a china dog I got from my first Dog Show, and some random David the Gnome fellow.

Larger- or nameable- entites are…  A grey maquette of Phren, a sculpt of a character design from College… Oh, right behind the chivote you can see a red thing- that’s some X-men lady whose name escapes me. She can teleport and stuff. Hey, I bought it cause she has a nice rack. and dextrous fingers. *shrugs* Oh- a still-in-box Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington as Sandy Claws. My mom got that for me for Christmas… like, five years ago was so sad when I didn’t open it.  There’s an out-of-box Silver Magdalena, an opened but still-in-box Bronze Age Lady Death from ToyFaire, a Second Series out-of-box Lady Death. Behind her ( you can barely see her) is the Bride of Frankenstein- she used to scream, but now she kind of gurgles. Next to that is a Translucent Ifrit from FF:VIII- him and the Tonberry were a package deal. There’s also a handmade doll someone made for me, and what’s left of Diabolos from FF:VIII  after he was stepped on - hands, wings and head.

In the boxes at top are a Glow-in the Dark Cremator, Regular paint Magdalena and Lady Death ALIVE, which means that even though she died of the fucking Bubonic Plague in the midle ages, women in that era had to liveup to Playmate standards- even before they existed. AndI think that’s it for that one.

The last few are quite short so I’ll save the last ones for the next part.
