Did I just preorder a toy 6 months in advance? Why yes, I did.
 by Colette Bennett on 01.24.2008      44 comments




Toy collectors are odd people: We see a lot of toys we love, but when you see one you must have, there is this impulse you get that feels like a bolt of lightining striking you. You must have that toy NOW! This is what keeps me from buying hundreds of toys a year and therefore not becoming a homeless (albeit extremely stylish) bag lady. I've never bought a Nendroid figure before, but I've spent plenty of time lusting after the Death Note set and feeling perhaps if I watched the entire Death Note series maybe I would deserve to own it. Expect plenty of Nendroid coverage on Tomopop in the future....the launch is very soon ^___^

@Colette:

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD DO WANT
balth's Destructoid Blog
What is this feeling in my soul when I look at your banner and now this toy? It is most...unsettling.

It's the same feeling I get when I see a small kitten, right before I punt it across the room.

It overflows out of my soul... is it...joy?

It must be quashed! too much cuteness!!!!!!!!!!

Also, I can't wait for tomopop.

Also, I really don't punt kittens, unless they jump on my 'under a blanket' feet with their claws while I am sleeping. I cannot control reflexes while I am sleeping.

Also, rambling :)
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Very cool.

This isn't unheard of! When I saw the Gears figures I preordered them all! Kudos to you and your hobby.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
So cute! Do want!
balth's Destructoid Blog
And just because you are so cool, Colette, let me introduce you to your downfall:

Downfall link 1 - Videogames

Downfall link 2 - Anime & Manga

Back when I owned a comic shop, and I had discriminating customers looking for those hard-to-find items, this place almost always came through for me.

I know it left my pocketbook much lighter.

A) Enjoy, B) I know, all my friends hate me, too and C) You're welcome :D
pheonix-blood's Destructoid Blog
um...DO WANT
Hitogoroshi's Destructoid Blog
OMG that is so awesome. I've been fighting the urge to collect Nendroids. I collect so many lines already. But wow so awesome.....O god I think I'm caving.

....Did you hear that? I think it was my wallet screaming
mistic's Destructoid Blog

GoldBond's Destructoid Blog
It looks like a cutesy version of The Thing.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
You know, I'm not usually into toys like this, but that gun is fucking win. I would have loved a toy like that when I was a kid. I want that gun!
Hitogoroshi's Destructoid Blog

@balth

those toys are so win
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME!

I'm so jealous Colette. :(
balth's Destructoid Blog
And yes, BBTS is towards the expensive side, but they have EVERYTHING listed and catagorized for easy finding.

They also seem to have harder to find items, it's why I do <3 them, even if, like Hito, my wallet screams when I go there.

If you're lucky to get in good with a comic shop near you, you can always order through Diamond via previews.
atheistium's Destructoid Blog
:( no credit for laurens finding it for u D:< lululul

Gimmie it first :(
Oh the anime for that series is out soon I think
charliesuh's Destructoid Blog
