I've never watched any episodes of the Gokaigers but I do own a couple of the Ranger keys. I got this free with some Gokai Red promotion at Jusco. I'm horrible at reading Katakana and have pretty much zero skill at reading Kanji. But here are a few pictures of this ship's steering wheel in case you bought this on Ebay and are wondering how to pose your Rangers with it.
It says "Gookai Darin" in Katakana there.
Just a guy talking about stuff he finds interesting and if I think it's worth the money.

DC Direct Green Lantern Series 4 Red Lantern Guy Gardner
I believe this toy should technically be a "Hybrid" Lantern rather than just a Red Lantern because Guy has both the Green Lantern ring of Willpower and the Red Lantern Ring of Hate. I think this guy might be my favorite out my Rainbow Lantern Justice League. I picked him up for about $14 on Amazon and I think he was well worth the price. I think it would be cool if DC made more Hybrid Lanterns. I would def add the seven ring Kyle Rayner, all the Hybrid Jordans and the other Hybrid Guy to my collection.

S.H. Figuarts Jusco Exclusive Shinken Red Kaoru Shiba
I'll be honest. I was planning on selling this toy to help me recuperate from my trip to Japan. The longer I waited the more this figure depreciated in value so I just decided to open her up and keep her for my own. And after opening I do not regret it because she's a great figure and I think I might make an all female team of Figuarts Rangers.
I've seen this toy before and when I hit up the Jusco/Aeon Mall (I hope I remember that right) i was super surprised to see her shelf warming for about ¥2500. I almost spent my whole toy budget on a bunch of her to sell at home for a hundred bucks a pop but I stopped myself. I also got Gokai Darin at the time because of a special Red Ranger promotion they were doing with Gokai Red. My Japanese is horrible so I could only half understand what the sales lady was saying to me.

Gears of War 3 Anya
Here's another Neca review and I actually like this figure. I picked up Anya for around twelve or thirteen dollars and I'm not disappointed. I was at first when I opened up the box and saw her hair, but after opening her up I saw the hair sculpt was actually separate from the head and all it needed was a good little push. Unfortunately Anya suffers from what I call "Females cheaper than males toys - itis..." Yeah doesn't make too much sense but that this means is the Anya figure is much cheaper than the other Gears of War figures. No Marcus or Dom are going to be decorating my shelf slicing baddies with their Lancers. Not for the price they're currently demanding anyways.

Blackest Night Indigo 1
I got this toy for only ten dollars off of Amazon! Well worth it in my opinion to complete my over powered Justice League. For the Indigo lanterns I actually had a choice of half naked buff guys or this half naked alien girl. You can probably tell which one I choose for my Justice League.
Transformers Prime Soundwave
I have an unwritten, unenforced rule that if i'm going to pay full price for a figure it better be something I really like. I paid around $13 for Soundwave and while he is my favorite Decepticon I think this toy wasn't worth it. This time Soundwave is flimsy, and feels brittle. Soundwave just doesn't feel like I got my bang for my buck. Oh yeah he comes with a weak Laserbeak. But it's better than having to buy a Laserbeak seperately.

Diablo III Review
Over the past couple of months I've spent nearly one hundred hours, if not more on Diablo III. I'll be honest those hours spent playing haven't always been the most exciting or thrilling but I still do enjoy the game. Diablo III or D3 as I'll probably refer to it in most of this post is a really fun game if you enjoy point and click games with friends. I personally like the game for it's incentive to level up and gain new skills all the way til the end of the game.

Play Arts Full Metal Alchemist Winry Rockbell
I didn't know Play Arts made figures from the show Full Metal Alchemist. I was a fan of the show when it first aired on Adult Swim back in 2004 or 2005. I don't remember. Anywho I actually saw the Elric brothers go for ridiculous prices on the internet. I don't feel right paying over twenty bucks for one of these smaller Play Arts. Then I saw they made a Winry and she was only six dollars! I figured why the hell not and placed my order on Amazon. Winry was cheaper and a beer at the bar and I don't regret buying her. I've yet to justify the forty plus dollars for the Elric brothers to buy them.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultra Posable Spider-Man
Here's a much more recent figure I bought. I originally wasn't going to get this guy because I don't really like his leg joints. But the more I play with him the more I enjoy the figure. It reminds me a lot of an old Spider-Man toy I still have somewhere that was really fun to play with. It was "Ultra Poseable" at the time and this figure brought back memories. I picked it up on sale at a Target for under eight bucks so I highly recommend him if you want a Spidey and fits in with the Marvel movie toys.
DC Direct Green Lantern Series Soranik Natu
I appear to amassing quite the female figure collection in my girlfriend's absence... Oh well my mindset I'm just trying to make myself uber straight by balancing out my collection of transforming robots and muscular men by adding more female figures into the mix.
Enough of that. I keep on forgetting which toys I've reviewed and which I haven't because even though I'm at 60+ posts I've only done toys I haven't opened yet. I'll probably go back and do more reviews on the ones I've opened later.
I'm actually trying to make an over powered Justice League out of all the different lanterns. In future reviews I will show off the others ones I bought but the only two colors I need to get are orange and black. I usually wait til Amazon makes the prices for these toys go down. No way am I going to pay more than 16 bucks for one of these.
I got Soranik for I believe $15.95 on Amazon and I think she was worth the price. I probably could have gone to a comic shop and picked out a more flawless one(mine has paint splotches) but that would have meant a higher price tag and gas money. She looks good and despite having crap articulation I'm glad to have her in my collection and a part of my Justice League shelf!

Transformers Prime Cyberverse Megatron
For today's review I have here the Cyberverse sized Megatron. I like this figure a lot more than Bulkhead due to Megs being able to pose better. He does have two faults in my opinion and that is legs only have the single joint at the knee and no ball jointed foot. Megatron's alternate mode also really sucks. I do not like the alt mode at all.

Marvel Universe Age of Thunder Thor
Ok I know I've been griping about how expensive these little guys are how I'm not going to buy anymore of them and well... I got one more. The only reason I bought this guy was to complete my 3.75 inch Avengers movie team. Well not the actual movie figures but what figures I think fits nicely into the team. I got Thor for a whooping $12.23 with tax! Hardly justifiable to buy these little guys for so much when they're coming with less and less. The new Marvel Universe figures don't even come with stands anymore! Just small cardboard cutout artwork.
