Personal News And Threea Merde Mission & TK Oya Sun Coming Soon

I've been away from ThreeA lately.  I've been working 2 jobs and some really difficult personal circumstances arose that have taken me a long way from the CBT store.  Instead I've been focusing on the blog as I can get posts uploaded on the train ride to and from work; and even that has been a struggle lately!  Truth be told, I've only been following the Tomorrow Kings and partially following the upcoming Metal Gear Ray.  This collector is trying to scale back purchases to a few lines and items.

Previously teased, I've been keeping an eye out for this little merde for a while.  So you can imagine my surprise when I sat down on the train to work and saw ThreeA was doing a surprise drop for Cold Merde Mission!  I immediately started scanning bambaland, 3AVox, and 3A twitter, and lo and behold I was able to get one of the last batch of Merde's!  I like the design and the multitude of holsters and straps and overall adventure-y look.  I think Cold Merde Mission is going to be a great addition to my collection and can't wait to get it!  No sure if I'll be removing it from the card or not, as a blister pack is a great display method.  We'll know once it arrives!

I wonder what goes inside?

In other 3A news, there is an upcoming Tomorrow King release, slotted for Oct 18th at 9:00 AM HK time.  The next Tomorrow King, dubbed the Ronin OYA Sun is descending with the most interesting gear yet!  What looks to be a giant bomb, a stylized jacket/bomb suit with a Daito vs the stand katana.  Positioned as the first of 4 figures in the TKLUB series towards a classic Tomorrow Queen.  I've never had a TQ but a free figure sounds good to me!  Especially if they're all as different as the last few TK's have been! I missed out Oya Moon, but this one has me more excited!

A buttload of ThreeA news

Another week, more ThreeA news comin at ya!  This week we have a few items of note.

First off , sales of the Dead Easy Company set completed, and in typical Ashley Wood style, fans saw a secret drop of a glow in the dark set as well as the previously teased Potato Commander. Many a finger were F5-ing like crazy!  Personally, I'm trying to stick to the Tomorrow Kings with the  occasional AK figure here and there, so I didn't get down on this one myself. 

Next on the docket we have an update on the box art for Nage and the ultra rare, randomly inserted chase Ghost Nage. The second figure in the first TKLUB series, I picked  this Tomorrow King up a few months back and I'm eagerly anticipating its arrival. Previous TK collectors maligned the company for its rehash of the figure with little variation, however with 3A now releasing new TK designs with every drop, it's a good time to collect TK's!

Third on the list is an update regarding the the October Thingy and what's it's all about 

-from 3A blog

It's about a thingy. See you at Bamba on the evening of 20th September and morning of the 30th

That's it.  A date.  You know the drill.. stay tuned!  

Fourth up is a teaser for a what I can only guess is a new Milky Pascha. Little is revealed outside of this shot and a cryptic "We are always milky ghosts in October". I'm guessing this will drop during the ThreeA October Thingy.  Not sure if the sheet is included in the set.. but I hope so.. it seems more fun that way!

Lastly we have a teaser for the new Merde Mission.  Among the figures teased of late, this one interests me the most.  Previously teased with a backpack and different shirt and shoes, it appears Merde has gone thru a revision for the better.  Releasing as a 3A premade sale, this might be a limited drop. Hopefully it wont be a surprise drop so normy blokes like myself can score one.  I quite like the look of this one, particularly the holsters; very badass.  I'll be following this one closely.
