Hello, this is Noree' Leggett; the new editor for the collectibles section. I'm really excited about doing this. For years, I've been an avid collector. I collected anything I could get my hands on from pencils to pogs and my all time favorite toys. This section is mainly dedicated to collecting toys although I will venture out to other collectibles much later. I hope I can provide as much info as possible to help all of my fellow collectors out there.

Hello all of my fellow collectors I'm back with more goods.
Remember Kotobukiya? They're putting out some fabulous busts and an awesome figure. First up is this marvelous bust of Storm. Dressed in her classic costume she is posed elegantly standing over 11 inches tall with a massive cape flowing behind her in the wind. She has a reversible base with a nameplate on one side and her civilian face on the other. Also her eyes glow in the dark to simulate her using her powers which is a very cool feature.
Next figure that I want to spotlight is a Kitty Pryde bust. She wears her classic black and yellow outfit from the 1980's. She stands in a somewhat relaxed pose holding Ogun's Hannya Mask in front of her and a katana behind her. She also comes with a reversible base but she's only 9 inches tall.
Finally, Captain America statue has arrived. This statue features him bustin' some chops. Well not literally but he's about to. He is in his current outfit with of course his iconic shield. He is posed dramatically in the air grimacing down at three Hydra troopers below him. This entire statue stands at an amazing 13 inches tall. That is it for this month. Stay tune for a new review coming up later on this month. And if you have a questions, comment, or concern, please feel free to email me at noreeleggett@juniorscave.com. I am always happy to hear from my readers.
Look forward to these awesome releases and happy collecting.

Androids in swimsuits

Xenosaga is one of my most favorite videogames. It is a three part series set over 4000 years into the future. Mankind is at war with these monsters called gnosis. Where am going with all this? Well, you see it's all to introduce Kos-Mos the battle android created to fight of those monsters. The company Alter is giving a brand new Kos-Mos figure this January.
This figure takes a different approach then their previous Kos-Mos figures. She is featured in her swimsuit from the third game. Owning one of the previous Kos-Mos figures I know the detailing on the figure is going to be as great or even better. Also, there seem to be a limited edition variant coming out. In this variant, her swimsuit is white with orange trim. Anyway, if you're as big a fan of the game as I am, you may enjoy this but even if you never heard of the game it would still make a nice addition to your collection.
Look forward to it and happy collecting!
A Catfight and Colorless Villains

Hey all of my fellow collectors it's me again but I guess you already know that. Anyway, as always, Dc Direct is giving us brand new mouth watering figures. First up is the new Catwoman vs. Batgirl statue. It is 8 inches tall. This statue features Batgirl confronting Catwoman as she attempts a bank heist. Both figures are in mid air with their capes acting as bases. There is also a third piece that is the bank vault and bags of money. This statue comes in three pieces so it can be set up in numerous ways.
Next, looks like Batman isn't the only one who decided to go black and white. Some of the villains decided to follow. Those villains are Joker and Penguin. The Joker statue is based off of the art work of Jim Lee. It is only about 6 inches high. Joker is featured with a sinister smile and is holding a joke gun. The Penguin, also 6 inches high, is based on the art work of Brian Bolland. He is featured in his typical wear holding his umbrella as a weapon. These statues capture both of their characteristics perfectly and are awesome additions to the Batman black and white world.
Look forward to these fabulous figures and happy collecting!
