Runs on Coffee and Cream

The London Toy Fair happened about a month ago and New York Toy Fair was this past weekend. That means Funko, along with other toy companies, announced new toys (either finished products, prototypes, or photos) for the upcoming year. I love seeing what's been revealed and find myself getting lost on Instagram while I look at photos from the events.

1. First up, we'll go over the Funko toys that I'm most excited for:

Parks and Recreation Pop! Figures - I'm most excited to get a Leslie Knope figure for my shelf. She's such an amazing character and I love everything she embodies.


DC Bombshells Pop! Figures - I absolutely adore the Bombshells comics and the recreation of the iconic characters. I'm really hoping they release a Batwoman figure in Series 2 since she's my favourite from the comics.



Wonder Woman Pop! Figures - I haven't seen the movie but I feel like I'm going to want everything Wonder Woman after it comes out.


Disney Pint Size Heroes - I've held off on collecting all the Disney Pop! figures, Dorbz, and other Mystery Mini blind boxes. But these figures are so unbelievably cute. I will have to practice self control to keep myself from buying all of of them!


2. I love that Gund has the rights to the Pusheen line. In the past, I've come across Pusheen products at conventions and they've always been ridiculously priced. Once Gund got their hands on Pusheen, the products have been easier to find and much more reasonably priced. I've purchased a couple of the plush blind boxes from previous series but they released the Series 4 blind boxes for 2017 and I'm so excited to buy them! I so want a Pusheen Candy Corn plushie!

3. Nendoroid figures are something I've admired from afar for years now. They're so unbelievably cute and detailed. However, they're very expensive. At the NY Toy Fair they had a poster up for some upcoming Disney/Pixar figures coming out. I have a feeling I'm going to be squeeing when I see them in person at a convention.

4. I was introduced to Kotobukiya figures years ago. Talk about detailed and gorgeous figures! I've spent a lot of time looking at the Bishoujo figures whenever we go to comic book stores. They announced the Squirrel Girl figure a little while ago but revealed the Ms Marvel figure at NY Toy Fair. Oh, how I wish I could afford all their figures!

Seeing all the new figures has been super excited for my upcoming comic conventions this year. I can't wait to look at all the booths and vendors.

Funko has some serious skills to make everything adorable. So adorable, it hurts my wallet!

They released their Pint Size Heroes line last year but the collections they released initially didn't really grab me. Then they put out Batman ones and Adam added a few of the blind bags to my Christmas stocking. That was it, I was hooked!

Look how cute they are!

I ended up getting all the Gotham City Sirens and the figures are beyond adorable. They're tiny and well-detailed. They only stand at 1.5" tall!


Now they've released a line of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Pint Size figures and I'm swooning after getting the Green Ranger in my blind bag.

I want all the Rangers!

As long as Funko is in business and releasing new figures, I will forever be a child filling my home with tiny adorable toys.

It's Friday! Here are my fandom favourites of the week:

1. Teeturtle just released some new Marvel tees and they're so amazing! I can't get over how cute the Squirrel Girl design is and how accurate the Deadpool one is.



2. I haven't paid much attention to the Funko Fabrikations plushies. They're cute, but nothing I have to own. That is until I saw Stay Puft at EB Games. He's so unbelievably adorable!


3. Fan Expo Canada is my next big comic convention. It happens over labor day weekend in September and I'm always excited for it. But can we look at some of the guests that have been announced so far? I'm fangirling hard every time they announce another guest. Eeee!


What fandom things are you into this week?

This week's 5 Fandom Friday is a fun one because I'm constantly looking for geek clothes, accessories, and gadgets!

Let's get to it...

1. TeeFury



I'm sure you've heard of at least one of the many websites that sells geeky t-shirt designs for a 24-hour period and then they disappear (until another site sells the same design at a future date). I've been addicted to these sites for years now and have bought some super awesome geeky mash-up shirts. TeeFury tends to be the site I buy from the most. I'm always squeeing at their designs.

2. Hallmark



A little weird, right? Not anymore! In the last couple of years they've started carrying geeky things - Itty Bittys and housewares (mugs, picture frames, etc.). And they're all SO cute! Their Star Wars merchandise and Itty Bitty line keep me coming back.

3. Teeturtle


Teeturtle is a Canadian company that makes cute geeky designs to print on t-shirts, hoodies, and socks. Their designs are super adorable and I kind of want everything on their site.

4. Look Human


I was introduced to Look Human a couple of years ago through social media. One of my twitter friends would post the cutest Sailor Moon-inspired tanks and I had to know where she got them. Look Human! They have an amazing collection for cat lovers and coffee addicts so the company has won me over. But their fandom designs are what grabbed my attention initially. I also finally got one of their Harry Potter-inspired 'Always' tanks for Christmas this year!

5. EB Games aka GameStop



My husband has a video game addiction and I also dabble in video games myself. This has me visiting an EB Games location almost weekly. I'm pretty sure our local store employees could recognize us anywhere. Slowly they've been bringing more items into the store besides video games.... Pop! Vinyl figures, board games, Nintendo Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, blind boxes. So now the store has become even more appealing to me.

What are you favourite geeky stores? I'm always looking for new places to check out!

5 Fandom Friday Info

Hello! This past weekend was Toronto ComiCon and what do comic conventions usually do? Make me want to buy all the things! I was pretty good in controlling myself with purchases but I have a giant wish list for future conventions and for my birthday this Summer.

1. There were so many girls (of all ages) dressed as Rey at the convention and it has me wanting to try her hairstyle and wear this dress from We Love Fine.

Last weekend was Toy Fair in New York City. Every year I scroll through the photos with the toy fair hashtags. It's a lot of fun to see what's going to be coming out over the next year. This year was no different and there were a few toys and product lines introduced that will definitely be on my wish list this year.

1. Funko released their newest toy line: Rock Candy. One of the first lines to come out will be the DC comics ladies and I'm absolutely dying over the 'Modern Batgirl' vinyl figure.

Tomorrow is the first day of December which means no one can look at me funny when I talk about Christmas movies, sing along to Christmas songs, or post pictures of my Christmas decorations! Honestly, our decorations have been up for about three weeks now and our tree was put up two weeks ago. Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, so I see no reason to hold off on decorating for my favourite holiday once Halloween is over.




We've been picking up more ornaments when we go out shopping. The Mario ornaments were a set of 4 that we just bought at EB Games. We've also been eyeing up some Marvel and Star Wars ones from Hallmark so I'm sure we'll be adding some more over the month of December. The bottom picture is of my Rudolph Pop! Vinyls I've collected so far. I really, really want Bumble but I haven't seen him in any stores unfortunately.

Are you decorated for Christmas or do you wait until it's closer to the holiday?
