A warm winter welcome to everyone coming back here today! Today I plan to cover some of my collection that is marketed towards a more grown-up audience. The "Missy" blind box series is made by CYTOYS and are figures just a bit over 5" tall and are made of PVC and ABS. They retail for about $15.99 USD each, and are typically a set of 6 figures with a 7th chase figure blacked out. Known for their cute macabre aesthetics, glass eyes, and super glossy finish; they're quite popular in many blind box enthusiast circles.
Now I have to admit, I am not a big fan of blind boxes. When I buy things, I want to know what I am buying. So I will often circumvent the gambling aspect and just take a picture and buy one secondhand. Some people call that cheating, I call it getting my bang for my buck. So when you see me talking about blind box series, unless I otherwise state something to the contrary, I just bought the one I wanted online fully knowing what I would get. Please collect responsibly!
Something I love about Missy figures is their packaging. The artwork is always so so cute and reminds me of old internet days on forums. There also seems to be some "yami-kawaii" inspiration and chibi aesthetics. They remind me of similar cute and dark series like Gloomy Bear, Skelanimals, or Living Dead Dolls.
Here are the translated names of all the figures available in this series, and a quote from the promotional imagery on the website. Each has a 1/6 chance with the Hidden Figure having a 1/72 chance. All of them are very cute and unique in their own ways. Luckily, the one I have is the one on the front of the box! "Killing Angel"
Here she is out of the box with her collector card next to her character quote. I think she's so adorable. Her glossy hair, outfit, and boots contrast her matte skin, and the glass eyes give a sense of melancholy. Her wings and halo are transparent and just as shiny. Some elements of her outfit are also matte such as her knife, her leg bandage, and the red ribbons on her shoe and dress.
The only thing I don't particularly care for is the price. I think that $15.99 USD before taxes is just way too much for their size, and in stores they can be even more expensive with an in-person markup. I know the trend of collectable figures becoming a profit or money making aspect for scalpers has inflated the cost, luxury item aside, but I think $12 would be a fairer price for both the size of the figure and the quality.
All in all, I'm really happy with her! She's a good size, decent price, and very detailed for a collectable figure. Which one of these little ladies is your favorite? Thank you all for coming to play with me today and reading my posts. I'm not exactly "good" at these, and I hope these are useful or fun for someone else as they are for me to make. I hope to see you again, and I hope you all have the loveliest of days.

Practically salivating over Good Smile's Matoko Kusanagi 1995 Ver. coming next summer, as part of their larger scale PopUp Parade line.
This new figure looks absolutely on-point, using the design from the film, replicating its opening scene.
I'm not overly enamoured with the base she's perched upon; I'm rather hopeful that this is for the prototype, and there's a building ledge being designed for it to complete the diorama and to make it more representative.
Not that it matters to me, cos I already pre-ordered it yesterday; I've missed out on a sweet Kusanagi fig before, since it was a bit out of my price range, but this is sub £100, so rather more affordable, and looks very nearly as good.
Release is set for June 2025 (the film's 30th anniversary year, now that I think about it), and frankly, I cannae wait!
ok listen i dont normally ask and i know the diagram is uh. SUCK but i literally cannot find any photo proof of these toys thanks to some more popular toys
ANYWAY it was like. these plastic cubes you could buy, and they could connect, and they had like mini (like, small gachapon size) plastic dog figures in them. like one was a shiba maybe, another was a jack russell, and the whole story was basically these dogs belonged to a scientist or smth and basically he shrunk them down to fuckin be able to take them around with him or some shit but yea
they might have been UK only but please if y’all have any leads or smth lemme know??
it definitely isnt LPS or puppy in my pocket, if it helps

Twitter user Kenta Shinohara makes excellent stop-motion animation clips using game and anime figures. Case in point, this one of Ryu beating the crap out of a Red Bull can.
