Looking forward to Fall. . .

It is disgustingly and prematurely hot with nary a rain shower to speak of: this alone would have me fast-forwarding through the rest of Summer for the moderation and color of Fall.

But come September, I can start counting down in earnest for the following two kits that are now on-order:

• Moebius Models' Death Dealer
• Diamond Select Toys' Deadpool (~1/9th?)

As a sidebar, it appears as if Diamond Select Toys has acquired Polar Lights' superhero figure line. I mention this because also scheduled for a Fall release is the Thor kit (inspired by Jack Kirby's cover art for The Mighty Thor #177) that was all-but-released by PL.

Notable Acquisitions February 2014

As you might well imagine, the annual "Christmas in February" elation was tempered rather severely by the no-less-severe Winter storm that swept through the Southeast a fortnight ago. Thus, it is extremely fitting that the theme for this year's remote acquisitions is "WINTER IS COMING!" (i.e., Game of Thrones). . . 

KITS 
NutsPlanet "The Lord of Lion" (1/10th scale bust, Jun-Sik Ahn) -- AWESOME!!! 
NutsPlanet "Night's Watch" (1/10th scale bust, Jun-Sik Ahn) 

The "register of spoils" is admittedly light, but these were the "must get" items on my shopping list.

Notable Acquisitions January 2014

Since my disposable time in the fortnight to come has been dramatically reduced due to the demands of work, might as well post the acquisitions for January. . .

• PSI Judge Anderson (70mm, Fabricio Torres)

And more "zombie goodness" (Cheers, Rin!) is on its way. . . 

PS--While all of the above are Tier-1+ figures (i.e., exceptional!), Death and "Mean Machine" are simply "off the chain"!
