2023: A YEAR IN COLLECTING RETROSPECTIVE

We are almost done with January, February is looming on the horizon, much like the sun of the lengthening days. I’m a little later than usual with my year end look-back. I could make a plethora of excuses, each more dramatic than the other. The truth is two fold and quite unremarkable. Firstly I’d not been so well over Christmas and the New Year, still not 100% even now but getting there. And secondly, I’d really enjoyed not doing the whole social media / collecting thing over the festive period. I’d come to really appreciate not feeling the need to come up with new content, new camera angles and how to do my next Photoshop gimmick. But, there are still things I want to do so it’s back to it and where better to start than the retrospective of my collecting during 2023.

HASBRO GHOSTBUSTERS PLASMA SERIES > TRADED-IN with COSMIC TOYS

Cosmic Toys this time has sent me a rather spooky trade-in. Hot on the heels of my look at New Age Octavian, I’m following that up with a set of 4 Ghostbusters Plasma Series figures. These come to me loose with some accessories, but the important thing is; it’s the original team from the first movie: Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore. I’ll get straight to the bustin’ because it makes me feel good!.

TONKANATOR > REVIEW

I had no intentions of getting this particular Transformer upon its initial release. Not that I dislike it, more that I disliked the price. In my opinion it was vastly overpriced for what it is…. a 40 plus year old toy design in a colour scheme, more or less, robbed from the G2 toy line.
