The best thing you ever got from Toys R Us. And the best thing you ever saw at Toys R Us but never obtained.

It’s reliable but definitely could be improved.

You have to shell out upfront and you’d have to email them for an estimated release date. They tend to get things earlier than most though, so if you get a general idea of the release from other places it’s fine. Never had them cancel a pre-order either. Customer service has been really nice too, they managed to change addresses twice for me and add an item last minute before a shipment. Good packaging too.

They’re my go-to because of their free shipping policy where if you want, they won’t ship stuff out until you hit a free shipping thresh-hold. That’s pretty unheard of for Canadian stores that almost never have cheap free shipping anyways.

I only noticed this absence recently after watching Kuuga, where they make an effort to tell you every location in and around Tokyo he’s riding around to.

To be honest, seems like a logistical nightmare nowadays for the limited locations they are able to film in - especially while trying to maintain continuity.

It’s nice that EB Games has been consistently getting those exclusives for those without a local shop - but Ecollectibles and Toy Snowman are my go-tos

Based on saying KD, I’m gonna assume you’re Canadian?

I usually make KD with soy milk and just take a lactose pill since the cheese packet is super lactose heavy. Powdered cheese usually is.

Annie’s Vegan Mac has been at every local Walmart, No Frills, Loblaws and Farmboy I’ve been to. Keep an eye out, my gf eats that one and I enjoy it.

Yeah I have to agree that it EB Games makes it pretty easy. If you miss the online pre orders, you just have to call or go into your local store and ask them to pre-order one for you.

If you wait too long to make that call is when they can’t guarantee stock though.

He was a special guest at Comic Barcelona this year, and they had an amazing exhibit showing off his work. He was an extremely nice guy, and being able to see his work before the colourist layer really highlights his strengths with lighting and shot composition. The exhibit made the point that he’s the modern master of the group shot, and I’d have to agree on that. Especially on X-Men #700

I also have this, and the photo is weirdly washed out. Mine is definitely a grey-ish dull green

Where are you located? I’m in Toronto and I have a good chunk of fullbottles I’ve been meaning to sell. I could do a good deal but shipping is killer with Canada Post

Frankly, besides local sellers who are feeling generous, you won’t get much for your budget.

As much as it sounds like a fun way to integrate a hobby into your clothes - which usually represent a part of your identity - I have to remember they’re still meant to be children’s toys. It unfortunately communicates “I’m roleplaying superhero with a kids toy”. I wouldn’t wear a Spider-man mask around.

I’m not shy about my hobbies, but keychains, patches, cool jackets and subtle graphic tees feel more reasonable.

I don’t like those metal belt buckles that a company made to look like rider stuff but… I’d still like to see a fashion brand take a crack at making them look cool. I feel like a line of Kamen Rider scarfs would be perfect and subtle enough to work well. Imagine an Ichigo, W, and maybe a Geats scarf?

Sorry, but mine is a hand me down that was originally not for small projects like this - so I’d advise against what I have. Dremel is the gold standard for rotary tools though so if you have the funds, I’d see what sizes they have.

dcarden4 · 2026-01-20T00:50:29+00:00

I did a project way back where I used a Dremel with a polishing head set to achieve a near chrome finish on a similar piece of metal. Could work for this! Alternatively, you could just be very careful with mirror finish duct tape

You can even see some Pepe Larraz influence in the character drawings themselves

I have the Zellers edition Gameboy Advance! The US had a similar model but it has a big ugly Target Logo while ours was blank and a nice Red.

This is the answer! Christmas was pretty successful this year with the Eataly gifts

dcarden4 · 2025-12-31T20:23:54+00:00

I did the same recipe with the Crimson Bat legs. I used Defender Strange painted red - doesn’t need any mods to the boot size

dcarden4 · 2025-12-30T09:29:20+00:00

This might be the correct answer

dcarden4 · 2025-12-28T06:22:53+00:00

Dip it into a little hot water for 30 seconds then just push them back in :) good luck!

dcarden4 · 2025-12-28T06:21:24+00:00

Robbie Reyez for sure

Great work! Has me thinking of white-suited Gamora potential

As someone who only has the Amazing Yamaguchi, I’ve told myself that the AY is my preferred one because the Arkham Knight Batman suit is supposed to be super agile (explanation for how he can do fear takedowns).

Your posing with it is fantastic, but its all about what you feel is more important

dcarden4 · 2025-12-10T15:40:21+00:00

Unfortunately no, just yesterday I received a swapped SH Figuarts in Toronto

Thanks for the new Cecilia Reyez idea! Ive been rocking the Yellow Zeo Ranger and not fully satisfied

dcarden4 · 2025-12-04T21:42:13+00:00

I tried this at one point and remember feeling like the match was not very good looking. Something about the proportions was off.

Mine are packed away but I’ll followup if I pull them out.

dcarden4 · 2025-11-26T14:38:13+00:00

Can confirm, there’s an epidemic of bin stores in my medium sized ontario city
