Healing the “Inner Child” has become a popular term these days. Google says it means reconnecting with a younger version of yourself to address the childhood trauma caused by your environment during your early years. This helps in coping with the painful experiences that may have scarred us which made it challenging to regulate our…
I just turned 40 last February and I feel incredibly lucky to still be here, living the life that I need and want. It’s heartbreaking to remember friends who were meant to celebrate their 40th birthdays this year but are no longer with us. Every time I think of them, I pray and thank God…
I have to admit, I splurged quite a bit on action figures during the pandemic. It was my way of everything we were going through back then. Who would’ve thought that we would actually live through something as terrifying as that right? We lost many wonderful people along the way. For me, I lost two…
Lately, the blog has been leaning heavily into TMNT content. Can’t help it, folks! I’ve been really excited about the Turtles ever since I shared my still unopened Last Ronin collection. Please bear with me. It’s just a phase hehe Leonardo is my favorite Turtle and I really dig his character design in The Last…
I’ve always been fascinated with the rivalry between Leonardo and Raphael in TMNT.

I’m also excited to introduce a new section of the blog called “Squad Goals” where we’ll showcase iconic pop culture teams in action figure form. For today’s entry, let’s have a look at the legendary…
Sometimes I fool myself that I have enough time to do the things I want. I buy plamo kits thinking I’ll build them but they just end up gathering dust. Over the years, these items pile up and become an eye sore. I suppose one of the downsides of collecting it the dreaded “Wall of…
If there’s one franchise that really shaped my love for pop culture, it’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Before I heavily got into anime and video games, TMNT was my ultimate obsession. Leo, Raph, Mikey and Donnie felt like childhood friends I admired because I found them cool. In retrospect, I think the Turtles I idolized…
One of the first figures I got when I started collecting years ago were these Ryu and Kens Masters figs from S.H. Figuarts. I’ve always wanted to have figs of these two since they’re my favorite characters from the entire Street Fighter franchise. I was thrilled when I got them back then because not only…
