I finally had the oportunity to do something I'd been excited to do since my daughter was born six months ago - take her to the toy store!

We went to the biggest toy store in our area and she seemed to really enjoy the experience. The colours and lights really caught her fancy and she was, like her dad, enamoured with all the toys. Of course I bought her gift, but I was able to nab myself some new figures for my Sonic collection.

For some reason it's proven to be quite hard to find Jakks' Sonic figures in the England, or at least in my area (although on-line hasn't been much better), so there are a few I'm still after. At any rate, this trip I was able to pick up Tikal from Sonic Adventure and then two of the new DC x Sonic figures, Rouge as Catwoman and Eggman in Lex Luthor's armour. As you'll notice, the two DC x Sonic figures are the 2.5-inch side (or 6.35cm in proper measurements ^_- ). I've not seen if they'll be releasing larger versions or if Funko will be doing Pops of these as they did with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy and Silver. If Funk do, I'll probably have to grab those to go with the others.

As for the website, I've added the art, prints and posters to the Phantom collections page, as well as an About page which still needs a little bit of work.

As always, please leave a comment in the Guestbook if you so wish (it's at the bottom of the sidebar). I'd be great to hear from some of you.
