Today we open a Smurf Reiver. In this package we have a new Jump pack with flappy hinges and a new Bolt Carbine. The helmet gets a little paint work adding a scary skull to make this marine look even more deadly. I have not been keeping up with the McFarlane 40k stuff but so far I have been enjoying all of the figures I have opened. Even the unpainted "proof" I have opened was very nice. The articulation on these is pretty good despite the armor limiting some movement. While I was messing around with his left arm it popped out of the socket. It easily popped back in and is not loose at all. I was able to install the gun in to his hand without too much trouble. The jump pack was easy to slot in and stays on nice and tight. I like this line a lot. I am hoping to pick up more soon. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open some Detective Conan TCG packs. I have been looking forward to opening some of these myself after watching several other channels open the newly released booster boxes. The boosters are a bit pricey at the moment so I picked up some loose packs instead for about a quarter of the price. I just learned there is a Conan starter deck so I will see if i can get my hands on one of those for a future video. These cards are very nice. The print is clean, the card stock is slightly thicker than regular Yu-Gi-Oh. The cards are also larger than Yu-Gi-Oh cards. The print on the commons almost looks like it has a texture to it when turning the cards in the light but they are smooth to the touch. There were a lot of doubles in the 17 pack sample I opened but not a terrible ratio based on the size of the set. I do have a long way to go to complete both commons and the rares. The Rares look great. There are multiple styles for the rare cards. At several points I thought I was pulling different sub sets of Rare cards but that was not the case. As usual cutting these open seems to be the way to go. Those designated tear divots never seem to work for me. The pack material is thicker than Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh but not MetaZoo or bootleg thick if that makes sense. I did have a few cards with dings on them. It was only on the Rares and in the same place on both cards so I believe that damage happened before the cards were packaged. It was not too severe and flattened out clean.. Speaking of flat all of the common cards were perfectly flat and all of the rare cards were warped. It was not noticeable while opening the cards but stacking up my doubles in order with rares on the back made it very noticeable as there was a clear bend and gap between the commons on top of the rare stack. All that being said I will be getting more of these. I like what I received overall and I am looking forward to opening more. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we make some 3d printed rubbery dust plugs for the NEO GEO Pocket Color. They both fit in nice and stay in without being too tight or difficult to remove. If you need a set of these or just one piece you can find them on my Jellydinosaur etsy shop.

Today we open a Starwing. Starwing is a Mecha Musume style Starscream figure by Iron Factory. She is a little smaller than I expected. Just slightly taller than a classic 3 3/4 inch GI JOE figure and slightly shorter than the 25th anniversary GI JOE figures. Included in the box are three finished faces, two unfinished faces, seven sets of hands and a clip to attach her at the back to a stand. There is no stand included. All of the decals are water slide so it is unlikely I will be applying any of those any time soon. While I was swapping her hands her left arm popped off a few times. It popped back in easily and does not feel loose at all. I was probably just being a bit ham handed. The articulation is pretty good for the size of the figure. The most notably missing articulation is at the wrist. The hands peg in and they do not have hinges. I love Mecha Musume. I am always looking for more Robo mecha girls for my collection. I am looking forward to more from this line. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a shadow. As far as I can tell this is the same as the Shadow in Wave 4.5. The only difference is this Shadow comes with three rings instead of a 10 ring. I really like his shoes a lot. He is a bit top heavy and somewhat difficult to balance. The rings easily fit in to his hands. I think anyone would find it difficult to tell the difference between this Shadow and the 4.5 wave Shadow. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open some KRE-O blind bag figures. These are much better than the regular smaller KRE-O figures. The arms and legs are on balls so you get a bit more range than LEGO and a lot more articulation than the small KRE-O figures. If you are familiar with the more recent GI-JOE bricks that came out recently with the classic toy box art, these are not those. The KRE-O line of GI-JOE bricks is far superior to the "Forever Clever" line that came out recently. Most bootleg Chinese sets I have bought from TEMU are better than the recent "Forever Clever" sets. We got a pretty good variety in the few packs we opened. I do have the rest of this line somewhere in little cases. Maybe I will do another video and show the rest of this wave when I find them. I really like the Cobra Eel in this set a lot. I am glad I was able to pull him for this video. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Super Mario type B playset. This set includes spare hands for figuarts mario, two pipes, a green shell, a shiny coin and a goombah. The Goombah and Shiny coin are repeats from the A set. The turtle shell has some holes in it so you can plug clear plastic pegs in to it and then in to the included Mario hands so it appears mario is holding the turtle shell. The pipes are interchangeable. You have a short pipe that is as deep as it is tall. The tall pipe is only about one CM deep. You can remove the top of the tall pipe and slip the short pipe on to the tall pipe making it a bit deeper. The pipes are nice but I did notice a mark on one of them that looked like a spot where the runner was cut off from the molding process. It can be turned to face away and out of view but I was not expecting that from a figuarts playset. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a NES RoboCop. This is a nice detailed figure. The articulation is not bad for a stiff armored robot. Initially I could not see or tell there was a wrist cut. Well maybe it would be considered a glove cut since it is a bit higher on his arm. It took some force to free it too. The holster in his hip is spring loaded. Though I did help it close by moving both parts in to place in this video I found later, pushing the front part back that the side piece swung in to place on its own. Pushing the clip on the back of his leg releases the spring loaded holster open. Whoever worked out that mechanism is a master in their craft. The gun fits in side though it is a small area to work it in to. The gun looks great in profile but head on it is very thin. Maybe they just needed to make it thin for the holster but a second thicker gun would have been nice. I picked this NES color RoboCop several years ago. I would have preferred the normal color but I expect the ebay price prohibited me from purchasing it at the time. I am still very happy with the figure. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we assemble a pikabus. This not pokemon set is really nice. Everything snaps together well. The instructions were easy to follow and the booklet was nicely printed. I have seen another version of this where the face is on the bumper rather than the top. I am not sure if those are interchangeable pieces but it looks much better near the top where the ears are. I am really enjoying these little bootleg sets. I am going to run out of space for these. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy. Temu Affiliate code: acm818077

Today we unbag a bat. This plush is huge! Rouge is well stitched with some simple but effective detailing. The top of the wings are stitched to the sides of her head so they stay up. It is just a single stitch so you could certainly remove that if you wanted to. The ears are a little floppy but they stay up with out any issues. She is a bit of a plank. To sit her down as I did in the video I had to lean her up against the toys behind her and tape one foot down. I do not like vinyl details on plush toys at all. Unfortunately her eyes and mouth are both Vinyl. Keep her in a temperature controlled area or those details will be flaking off in no time. Even with the vinyl details I do want to get more of the sanics in this size. I have several more sanics in this size. I will probably leave them in the bag for now. I mainly opened Rouge because her bad was torn. I need to make more space. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a bebop. This bebop is a little different than I remember. He seems more pale than I remember the human bebop being. The articulation on this figure is very limited. Only the human head seemed to swivel at the neck. The arms and legs are on swivels too. Bebop has a set of boot weapons that fold down in to his shoes. Bebop comes with a canister of mutagen and a camcorder with a deadly drilling action feature built in to it. The camera handle and mutagen fit in to the warthog hands fine but not the human hand. I was able to get the human hand to hold the camcorder at the carry handle though it was resting there not really being gripped. Classic turtle figures are all about the sculpts and details. This bebop is not a perfect copy from the cartoon but the sculpt looks great for the time of the original line. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Vegetable plush. This is another Great Eastern release. I picked this up for my 9k subscriber video for my fumo channel. From most of the promo pictures it appeared Vegeta's eyes were vinyl. Luckily Great Eastern went with embroidered eyes instead. The spiky hair is pretty well done. One spike is stitched to another to add some variety to the the hair spikes. It is worth pulling the loose spikes outward a bit to fluff them up. Vegeta did not sit on his own very well until I pushed his body forward and down a bit to reshape him a bit. Now he sits pretty well. There were some hanging threads that needed to be snipped off. The costume looks good from the front but it was not lined up very well on the back where it was stitched together. For the price it is not a bad plush. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Mario World playset. This little set comes with a Green base, clear stand and adapter for your S.H. Figuarts Mario. The base has three holes. One hole in the center top and two holes that are plugged on the left and right side. The plugs are easy to remove from the bottom of the green base. The blocks have holes on one side so you can plug them in to a clear base and sit them on a raised clear platform that plugs in to the green base. You also get a shiny coin and a goombah. There are two stands for the coin. The stands hold the coin directly to the base or raised about two CM above the stand. I like this little set even though I do not own the Figuarts Mario figure. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a blue He-man. Faker comes with a nice orange sword and some rubbery armor. The armor is easily removed to reveal his robot viewing window. Rather than a sticker like the vintage figure this is a Permanent decal. The decal forms to his chest so it looks a little weird. Typical MOTUO articulation. His knees and ankles felt a bit loose to me but I did not have any trouble posing or standing him up. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we unbox a Conan. This is a great figure. Lots of articulation allow you to position him in to poses from the show easily. The paperwork in the box show the soccer ball being attached to a stand but I guess they are just showing that it can be done as there was no stand in the box. Conan comes with lots of different hands. He has two fists in by default then he has a hand holding how tie voice changer and a corresponding hand so he can hold it with both hands. There is a hand with the detective boys communicator. There is a hand with the wrist watch both opened and closed and a hand for the opposite arm that you can use to make him appear to be pressing the button on the watch. Then there is a pointing hand and two open hands. He has five different faces and two pairs of glasses one normal and one with the heads up display. The glasses slip on easy and stay on well. There are two neck parts. One with the Bow tie on and one with is off. Conan also has magnets in his feet and metal inside the skate board. The skateboard clicks right on to the feet. I am really happy with this figure. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Wasp. The window has become partially detached inside of the box but the figure was in fine shape. Looking at the figure it does not appear the black part of her costume was painted. It appeared to be raw black plastic to me. Maybe I am wrong though. The gold details were nicely painted and the face looks decent. Open mouths on statues do not work very well in my opinion. They never look quite right to me. The wings have a nice pearl rainbow like effect on them. The wings plugged in easily once i figured out which one went where. Water splash base looks nice and is translucent. The base is screwed in to her foot. You do not attach it yourself. I am nearly out of kotobukiya statues now. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we take a look at a book called "Dig The OVA Grave" I found on Japanese Mercari all about the OVA boom of the 80s. Thumbing through the pages there are few pictures but I am hoping to find some OVA's that i have not yet seen. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open and assemble a Lego movie set of bricks. This set comes with a mini figure. There were a few extra pieces after fully assembled as well. This little vehicle did not look like much on the packaging but I was pleased with the final build. The hinged wings bent down give it an overall pleasing shape. The police robot looking mini figure has some nice details on the body and face. He comes with a classic style visored helmet and a space gun with what appear to be giant iron sights in the form of a clamp. I think I have a few more sets from the movie somewhere. I will have to look around my warehouse and see if i can find them. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Doink. This is another great figure. The face is spot on. The open mouth laugh is just the way I remember Doink. Even with the mouth open the face is creepy. The bright green clown fro hair is great. The cloth coat is a great fit and is well made. I love everything about this figure. I never thought I would ever be so happy about a Doink the clown action figure. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Megatron. This little G2 style Megatron is easy to transform and both robot mode and vehicle mode look great. Megatron's head can rotate to the left because of his transformation but it does not rotate to the right. The shoulder cannon lifts in robot mode. The arms rotate on a ball joint at the shoulder. The legs are on ball joints attached to the hips and have hinges at the knees. I have always liked the G2 Megatron design. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open some bootleg animu waifu cards. These cards are a bit better quality than the conan bootleg cards I opened a while back. The card stock is nice thick material. I thought they were plastic cards at first. Some of the cards do still have issues with scuffing on the front and back like the conan cards but no where near as bad as the conan set. They are made by the same frog card company so it is not a big surprise. I seem to have completed three sets out of who knows how many sets. I like the special cards with the embossed fronts or backs. The embossed backs have a nice feel to them. If you want any of these bootleg cards and see these on ebay for more than $20 you may want to check alibaba or temu. You can pick up the boxes there for anywhere from $6-25 shipped. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy. Temu Affiliate code: acm818077

Today we open a second collection of not 40k mini figures. These little things are great. The armor pieces all snap on and plug in tight and stay in place. I did not notice any new weapons in this set. The guns with the clear blue parts are pretty sweet. The paint work is limited but those small details make the backpacks look great. I really like the plug in symbol for the chest armor. It finishes the figure look nicely. There are similar sets that have a decal instead of this plug in symbol. If you decide to pick some of these up keep that in mind. I hope there will be more not 40k mini figures in the future. Thank you for watching. Take it easy. Temu Affiliate code: acm818077

Today we open bee. This bee looks just like the 80s bee. It is a great recreation with a few improvements aside from the articulation. The claws have a rounded inner grip so he can hold his ax by the grip but the ax also fits snug around the claws the way it was made to fit on the 80s figure. Another improvement is on the cap and his head. There are two little holes in the cap and the new version has antenna on it so the cap can slip on to the antenna and stay on his head. The cap on the 80s figure just sat on his head. The wings work about the same and attach the same way. I love these origins figures. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.

Today we open a Cyborg. The box is in rough shape but the toy inside was mostly fine. The batteries in his back were a bit corroded and his head, helmet and hands were leaking plastisizer making them sticky. After cleaning the battery compartment and replacing the batteries the light up feature worked. The hands and head cleaned up well with a soap and water, then dabbing the sticky parts with packing tape to remove the oils from the surface. The face is removable from the silver head with a bit of wiggling. The helmet fits over the face. The helmet was a bit tight to install but once it is on it looks good and sits properly. I really like the clear body with robotic looking inner details. This figure looks a lot like the larger older GI JOE figures. I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. Take it easy.
