Now a lot of people have different checklists for what makes a figure a ‘holy grail’, but at its very essence… Continue reading My Top 5 ‘Holy Grail’ Figures
Wow, it’s been seven long months since I’ve been on this blog. Needless to say my hiatus extended far longer than I ever anticipated. I almost don’t know what to say.
