January 2026 Loot

A very sumptuous banquet of hauls to kick off the year. While it’s not quite as extravagant as my end-of-2025 loot, it’s still massive in its own right. As usual, Chinese model kits make up the bulk of the haul, with Eddas Asgard and Hemoxian Baffarion anchoring the lineup. I also picked up Frame Arms Girl Kongou, mainly for her ship-themed power armor gimmick. That said, with my pile of shame continuing to grow, I’ll probably need to cut back on model kit purchases for a while.

Outside of model kits, I finally completed my Blokees Devastator combiner with the remaining parts, along with a newer batch of Blokees releases. I think Bruticus will have less drama in the availability department though I can still obtain one anyway, whether I have to pay for it or obtain complete Blokees Defender set 04-06.

I also finally got the 1/7 scale King Halo figure shortly after quitting Uma Musume Global. Had I quit the game earlier, I might have skipped her entirely, but she’s one of my favorite characters, so she’s likely staying in the collection.

Lastly, appearances can be deceiving: the most expensive item in this haul is actually one of the smallest; the 25th Anniversary D-3 Digimon Digivice (Digimon 02). With how little free time I have these days, I’m not sure I’ll get around to actually playing with it, but as a collectible, it’s still an absolute gem.

Digimon Xros Wars Vpet Color 15th Anniv edition

 
 It was rather surprising turn of of event but before Tamers and Frontier got any new Vpets, Digimon X-Ross made it first! As part of 15th anniversary, Digimon Xros wars will be getting a straight Vpet Color treatment which is rather surprising since it is the first mainline Digimon anime series that got such treatment. Considering other main series Digimon got the digivice version like Digimon 1 and the recent Digimon 2. Scheduled for February 2026 release, Vpet Color Xros Wars will be sold for 7000 Yen SRP with 2 variants: Shoutmon and Xros Greymon version.

Personally I am not too familiar with Xros Wars myself since the last main Digimon series I ever watched was Frontier and it was not even complete ride. But I did got my share of exposure with the series during the early days of Realm of Darkness where I still regularly browse /m/ on 4chan and Xros Wars was frequently discussed on daily basis with Lilithmon often included in discussion as fanservice. 

Good thing I was not really familiar with Xros Wars otherwise might get tempted to get this one since I am personally quite curious why Bandai decide to give such treatment for Xros Wars after a relatively long silence. I might even consider marathoning Digimon series all over again since I never get to watch the series in its original format.

Digimon 02 Digivice D-3 Digimon Detect & Discover 25th Anniversary edition

 
 Usually my strike zone for Digimon related Electronic Toy is only with their Vpets which sport an appearance like a small brick. But hungry for Nostalgic Digimon fans money, apart from the Godzilla edition Vpet, Bandai decided to drop a whole lot of payload for Digimon 02 series by releasing a 25th Anniversary version of Digimon 02 Digivice. Just like many recent renditions of Vpet series, this one comes with Colored edition and apparently some voiceovers and the original popular theme from Digimon 02. Scheduled for July 2025 release, D-3 25th Anniversary will come with Regular and Special edition which will be sold for 11000 and 16500 Yen respectively.

Digimon Vpet Color - Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary edition

 Capcom has been very generous in leasing out their Monster Hunter IP lately in anticipation of their latest iteration of Monster Hunter game, but this one is yet another unexpected collaboration! Off all IPs, Monster Hunter decided to do a collab with Digimon which is an interesting pick but works out nonetheless. This collaboration results in Digimon Vpet Color getting a Monster Hunter edition with Rathalos and Zinogre being the available variants. Vpet Color Monster Hunter edition will be scheduled for February 2025 release with 7700 Yen Price tag.

 Digimon Vpet Color has been around for 2-3 years by this time and I suppose Bandai consider Monster Hunter IP to help propping up this particular lineup. I am quite curious how the evolution tree will work in this Monster Hunter Vpet. Considering Bandai promise there will be around 36 Monster Variants available for this Vpet. I would assume the famous Wyverns like Rathalos, Zinogre and Rajang will be likely the part of final evolution tree while the weaker wyverns serve as the early evolutions which we will see the truth once the final product are released. As a bonus of this Vpet, apparently Greymon and Garurumon will get a unique jogress with Rathalos and Zinogre respectively.

Digimon Vital Bracelet

 Digivices is usually what comes in mind for Digimon Electronic Toys products and this years had been quite plentiful for those types. But Bandai came with yet another surprise and recently they unveiled a rather unexpected lifestyle product dubbed Digimon Vital Bracelet! From the first glance the product looks similar to Pokemon Go watch which is used in tandem with phone app and you can raise Digimons from this one!

 Digimon Vital Bracelet will be scheduled for March 2021 release with 3 color variants. The Normal variants come in White and Black color are sold for 5800 Yen while the special Yellow edition cost 6600 Yen and come with extra Dim Card. The starter Digimons are determined by USB stick like device named Dim Card which each Digimon Vital Bracelet comes with the new flagship digimon named Pulsemon for this lineup. But there are available separate variety of Dim Card which cost 1600 Yen for a pack of 2 which there are 2 available versions available on release. I used to have Digivice X Antibody series mid this year but sold it away since i can't really commit into it, but i think the Vital Bracelet could be of some use since i have been running quite regularly from December last year. As obvious, if the products is well received we could expect more digimon available for the Vital bracelet with 2nd and 3rd Gen Digimons be the likeliest candidates.

April - June 2020 Loot

 For over past two months i am mostly stuck at home due to the COVID lockdown but it appears that the Pandemic did little to hamper my collection. I think the pattern of my loot remains quite consistent over the past two years as the composition are mostly either Mecha or FGO. Though i am quite surprised with my devotion toward FGO series sometimes. But i think the rarest of the bunch would be Figma Tsugumori from Knight of Sidonia series which i got very cheap.

 As usual i think Candy Toys and the Prize Figure will be getting the earliest reviews since they are quite straight forward to do. I am not too proud with my productivity over these past two months which i could have put up some more Figma Reviews. However with my newly acquired lighting setup, i think the productivity should be ramped up abit. I forgot to include in this picture, but i finally got Figma Darkness fulfilling my promise to complete the Konosuba Gang in Figma format!

February-March 2020 Loot

 Some stuff i gathered from the past two months and i guess almost everytime i got myself some FGO-related merchandise. As usual most of them are from Pre-Orders save for the Proplica Dominator. Probably the Proplica is the rarest of the bunch which is the more affordable version of the Cerevo but the initial release price was still 20000 Yen. For Candy Toys product i subscribe to Coonuts and Ensemble nowadays which is why i always get the latest installments. As for Goodsmile products, i got myself some Monster Hunter and FGO stuff, surprisingly Nendoroid Kirin Hunter remade Box doesn't look to bad. Lastly I never thought myself getting a digivice but i suppose Nostalgia got the better of me since i never had the brick Model and the gameplay is not too bad. I guess the Candy Toys review will be the ones that come earlier and i think i should try to put more effort to put up some GSC Product review.
