Go check out Destructoid's collectible toy culture blog, which I proudly run:



Here is a list of things you should know about me:
I'm a female game/toy blogger living in New Orleans.
The NES is my favorite system of all time, closely followed by the PS2.
My DS is more or less glued to my person.
I can't resist playing Contra. Ever.
I think toys are the best solution to not wanting to grow up, and I have an always-growing collection of them, which is why I started Tomopop.
I require sushi for living.
I'm hopelessly addicted to Japanese dramas and skinny Japanese boys with awful hair.
I love wandering around used bookstores for hours.
I think about throwing rocks at people a lot.
I replay The Legend of Zelda about 5 times a year.
I read a lot.
I can't live without music.

Kon-kon!


This Pedro guy is pretty good.

And these RetroforceGo! people aren't so bad.


Actually, the people I work with are pretty freaking awesome in general.


Sometimes I put on costumes, too.

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 ^___^

Why did none of my childhood toys have miniguns?
That is probebly the strangest toy i have ever seen.. i meen I'm into anime and stuff.. but damn..
@Colette:

Everytime I see your banner it just makes me wanna crack up!.

BTW: Nice Figure..I meant the toy.
lol..that's awesome!
Oh snap! Do want!

I think you kids are gonna start getting me back into toy collecting here pretty soon too.
That is pretty snazzy!
HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD DO WANT
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 :)
Very cool.

This isn't unheard of! When I saw the Gears figures I preordered them all! Kudos to you and your hobby.
So cute! Do want!
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
um...DO WANT
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
wow that's awesome! hope my local anime-shop can get those :-)
WTF?! That's awesome.
Balth - holy hell, thank you.
This is why I love you. :)
Well damn, now I want one. =P
I love that it's wearing a plug suit. Minigun is a nice touch too.
It looks like a cutesy version of The Thing.
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!
Speaking of things that are to cute to exist.

It is Reiko & Kiniro from Mushihimesama as children.
Now with a link that works.

That is so cute!
wow I'm gonna have to stop reading this toy posts. I do like saving money occasionally.

also tomopop is very dangerous. I already ordered the friggen yotsuba toy charlie posted >_<
BBTS = outrageously priced on most things.
@Hitogoroshi - aaaa! I love it!
Disgustingly adorable. IT HAS POINTY LEGS!
That is fucking rad.
Death Note is awesome, I want a Death Note...I mean a real one too. >_>
@balth

those toys are so win
HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME!

I'm so jealous Colette. :(
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.
:( no credit for laurens finding it for u D:< lululul

Gimmie it first :(
Oh the anime for that series is out soon I think
Colette! I saw this a few days ago and I soooo wanted it! You beat me to it!
thats freaking badass
I has teh L Nendoroid :3

They are actually VERY top heavy, but also VERY kawaii <3
Jesus, that's the creepiest toy I've seen in a while. It's even got tentacles and a little (what looks like a) girl for god sakes. :S

Still though, minigun ftw!
Dear god, I can't look away.
The Death Note ones are just too awesome. Get them please in my name T.T
