Bulma - Journey to Planet Namek

• from Dragon Ball Z
  
• by Bandai Spirits

One Day One Shot

Continuing the black and yellow trend from yesterday, we have another throwback figure.

This version of Bulma was released in 2021 as a Premium Bandai exclusive. Based on her appearance during the Namek and Freeza storylines in Dragon Ball Z - this is the version of Bulma most Americans will remember from the old Irwin Toys line.

And something about this figure - whether it be the sculpting or the proportions or even the specific shade of yellow that they use - really evokes that old toy.

And she comes packed with accessories. A backpack, safari hat, waist pouch (seen here) and a Namek Dragon Ball. But no Ginyu Frog, unfortunately. So I guess the old Irwin Toys figure has the advantage.

2020 Event Scorpion
from Mortal Kombat
by Storm Collectibles
One Day One Shot

Scorpion, aka Lon John Chaney.

I loved the original Storm Collectibles sculpt for their MK Ninjas. The MK3 sculpts were nice, but they were a little too smooth and flat for me.

But this feels like the logical evolution of the MK1 sculpt. Great texture work, and very versatile articulation.

When I do a full gallery on this figure, I have to show off the accessories. It's a great figure, and well worth tracking down.

New arrivals from Big Bad Toy Store. I've been waiting to ship these for quite some time now.

One of the most unexpected highlights being that Super7 x Brain-Dead Toxie ReAction. That one is most certainly going up on the wall.

Starting tomorrow we'll be posting another series of One Day One Shot - which will let us show off some pieces we don't normally show off, and let us focus out energy on the holiday craziness ahead.

And hopefully soon we'll have some full galleries of the toys you see here!

Back at work after a long holiday weekend.

It's getting to be a busy time for me again, so I'm planning another series of One Day - One Shot pictures.

I love writing about the toys I post - their histories and my connections to each piece. And I love planning big galleries!

But I'd rather keep the posts deliberately concise when I'm pressed for time, rather than rushing through just to update.

So expect that for the week ahead. But I've already got a few bigger galleries planned and ready to go.
