Funko Pop Hunting in Lakeside Shopping Center, Thurrock

I haven’t been to Lakeside in Thurrock, Essex for YEARS! We were there the other day, partly to enjoy a hearty TGI Fridays meal, but also while we were there to have a bit of a browse. It was quite busy so we may well have missed a few shops but here’s an account of… Read More Funko Pop Hunting in Lakeside Shopping Center, Thurrock

Mad-4-Toys.co.uk Review

It’s been a while since I’ve done an online shop review, which is weird, because that’s where I get the majority of my toys from! I tried a new place just a couple of days ago and the items have already arrived so thought it was time to do another review – especially as it’s… Read More Mad-4-Toys.co.uk Review

Funko Junko Yay or Nay Mystery Box Vol. 3 Review

The review here isn’t going to be anything major because I’ve got an unboxing video to go with it, which I’ll embed just below here. If you want to watch the video and unbox with me read up to the video and then stop reading as it’ll have spoilers otherwise. This is for me the… Read More Funko Junko Yay or Nay Mystery Box Vol. 3 Review

CollectAndDisplay.Com

I’ve been keeping an eye on this site for a while now, having stumbled across it while looking for a place in the UK to buy designer toys – in particular if memory serves me correct I was looking for some of the larger Dunny figures by KidRobot in London while I spent a week… Read More CollectAndDisplay.Com

Funko Junko Yay or Nay Funko Mystery Boxes Vol. 2

I managed to snag I think 3 of their volume 1 boxes, and this time around I got the full limit of 4 boxes because I was so happy with their first lot. I’ll give you a spoiler right now… Volume 3 didn’t disappoint, and I didn’t even really look too hard at the preview… Read More Funko Junko Yay or Nay Funko Mystery Boxes Vol. 2

Playmobil.co.uk – Playmobil Official Website & Shop

I hadn’t really been in to Playmobil much, although I must say that it does look like they’re trying to appeal a lot more to an adult market… They’re slowly reeling me in! I have just purchased the Back to the Future advent calendar so keep an eye out for that one at the end… Read More Playmobil.co.uk – Playmobil Official Website & Shop

G n G Boxes Hit or Miss Mystery Box Unboxing x 3

Unboxing 2 NerdBase UK Mystery Boxes

This was the first time I ordered from this company and only found them on Instagram by chance after they liked one of my pictures. These boxes both cost me £20 each as I got them on a day where they had offered £5 off per box, so they were usually £25 boxes + postage… Read More Unboxing 2 NerdBase UK Mystery Boxes

Funko Pop Hunting & Much More at a Space Oddity; Amsterdam

Prinsengracht 204, 1016 HD Amsterdam, Netherlands On my last day in Amsterdam I checked out Henk’s Comics and it was amazing for Funko Pops – you can read more about it here. Being a comic book store it focused on those pops, a few other nice action figures, and a lot of literature… It’s a… Read More Funko Pop Hunting & Much More at a Space Oddity; Amsterdam

Funko Pop Hunting at Henk’s Comics in Amsterdam

Zeedijk 101, 1012 BG Amsterdam, Netherlands I’d seen some pictures of the funko pop area of this shop in the heart of Amsterdam and decided that I HAD to visit it at some point during my short trip to the city. I was only over there for business so thought to myself that I’d go… Read More Funko Pop Hunting at Henk’s Comics in Amsterdam

A Couple of Pop in a Box Damaged Mystery Boxes

To start off I wanted to mention that this was meant to be my first unboxing video on Youtube. I had everything set up, took hours to get the lighting ok and camera set up, got nervous and then really go in to the swing of things. I stopped the recording, tried to open it… Read More A Couple of Pop in a Box Damaged Mystery Boxes

Funko Pop Hunting in Bluewater Shopping Center

The Bluewater shopping center in Kent is a mecca for people from Kent and Essex to shop for over priced clothes, expensive shoes, fancy chocolate and really pricey American sweets, but wouldn’t you know it’s actually also a pretty good place to hunt for pops! House of Fraser We parked at the car park which… Read More Funko Pop Hunting in Bluewater Shopping Center

Pop in a Box Subscription Service

When I found pop in a box I absolutely loved the website, and to be fair, I still can’t and won’t fault their selection. I will start this by saying that as a provider of Funko products they are one of the best sellers in the UK, and I still have my account, I will… Read More Pop in a Box Subscription Service

Magic Madhouse Funko Pop Mystery Box: Unboxing

When we attended MCM Comic Con in London for their 2019 October date, the best stall for Funko pop figures appeared to be the Magic Madhouse one. Most of their sales space is reserved for board and card games, along with associated products (like dice and card expansion packs etc), but to the side there… Read More Magic Madhouse Funko Pop Mystery Box: Unboxing

Available on our online shop now is the first DIY blank figure we have produced with @gekko_nec based on their skull dude design.
Go check out @anxti or our site for more details about this gorgeous set of art toys releasing later on today (4pm GMT) to raise funds for the British Red Cross and their humanatarian efforts in Ukraine.
The 25th anniversary #tamagotchi is so far the most beautiful thing I've seen all day - still got a few hours left so who knows!
I think I need to have a closer look at these 3d puzzles from @universitygames_uk - loads of cool franchises and the detail is great.
Its London toy fair baby!
Wow, check out the glow on this guy. The first of the glow in the dark variants is ready to sit in ita tin for a while waiting for @toyconuk to come along next year! Love how this one turned out!
#bobafett has joined the #stormtrooper and #tiefighterpilot - these #lego #starwars helmets have become a traditional gift for me to get at Christmas and I absolutely love them!
This is the most complete look I've posted of what is set to be my first toy release and I hope that my application for a table at @toyconuk is successful as I cant think of a better place to launch this guy!
Just started collecting the @topps #mandalorian set and whilst its generally a great collection that #crystalcard series is absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to keep collecting and already have a review of the set live on nerd-life.co.uk
Just messing around with the #titan #predator outdoors!
Haven't been on here for a while, so thought I'd come in with one of my favourite dunnys!
Pulled this #blaziken beauty from a #chillingreign #boosterpack the other day. Im still starting my #pokemon journey but loving it and other #tradingcards at the moment. Check out my new #podcast where I briefly touch on my pokemon beginnings whilst also giving you the latest nerd news!
Coming soon a whole new world in mystery boxes. Each retro toy tin comes in a recyclable can filled with toys from the 80s and 90s (actually saved from way back then) including things like #MonstersInMyPocket sealed #TradingCard packs #Lego basic packs from 1990s #McDonalds Happy Meals #Pogs and even some new sweets (so that you can actually enjoy those too) with a #retro vibe!
I'm surprised at how much fun these little #superzings or should I say #superthings actually are. A huge variety of characters and the rare ones are actually really quite nice!
I have just started a new journey on my blog, with a new video following very soon on my YouTube channel. Its a challenge to see if its possible to amass a nice retro toys collection, starting with just £10.
