Collectors anticipating more updates from Storm Collectibles' Mortal Kombat lines have some teasers to prepare for what's in store for us in 2023..
The MK9 Shao Kahn figure was teased on Storm Collectibles' social pages just a few days ago, which could mean this figure should be ready for pre-order very soon.
It seems like ages since I last unboxed a Collector's Edition.. but here we go again! The God of War Ragnarok Jotnar Edition!

Always a wonderful feeling picking up a CE from the local game shops.. Let's take a look at what's inside!

Another bundle for the game has arrived for Amazon Prime subscribers; this time for Captain America!
Patch 2.6 is live and brings the new Elite Villain Sector: No Rest for the Wicked!
Before that, let's take a look at what's new for this week..
Today was one of the saddest days in my collecting life...
With the recent announcement of Assassin's Creed Mirage, I was inspired to check out some of my Assassin's Creed collectibles that I had kept in storage. On a day that I was expecting to be a nice, enjoyable time, where it would bring back some very wonderful memories, turned out to be a shock..
One of my most prized possessions from my Assassin's Creed collection, the AC III Tomahawk Replica, was always something I was proud of owning.. Brought it out to the hall, cut up the bubble wrap, opened the box and wanting to hold this amazing piece, I was shocked to see this..
The entire head just disintegrated..
The 2nd year anniversary celebrations for Marvel's Avengers continue from last week! The Tachyon Anomaly, Cosmic Threat, Corrupted Vibranium events are all still going on for another week, along with the ability to claim the 2nd Anniversary Bundle from the Marketplace..

1. Captain America - Marvel Studios' The Avengers outfit
And... Just like that, it's been 2 years since Marvel's Avengers released.
This 2 weeks, Marvel's Avengers celebrates its 2-year anniversary with a whole load of stuff. Can't believe 2 years has passed just like that. Having poured so many hours into this game, making several new friends and also being a positive distraction during this trying COVID-period and at the same time being a negative distraction during WFH days..
Marvel's Avengers has been a huge part of my life this past 2 years and it has come a long way since it first released..
After long last, Amazon SG fulfilled my order for the Marvel Legends' Miles Morales figures!

These figures are based off the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game from the Marvel Gamerverse of course. As you can see, I bought 2 of them!
2022 is turning out to be a great year for gamers who are also TMNT fans! After the well-received TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, which was released earlier this year.. The TMNT Cowabunga Collection is also releasing in a couple of days!

We have finally gotten some concrete and great news for some upcoming updates in the game but first.. Let's take a look at the new Shipment Specialty item..
It's the MCU-based Hawkeye - Captain America: Civil War Outfit. Long-time players will know that this is a repeat release but the developers have mentioned that with new players coming to the game, they would want to give these players a chance to own these special outfits!
Amazon Prime Gaming has a new reward for Marvel's Avengers, starting August 15. The 2nd bundle in this collaboration will feature the Hulk - Maestro Outfit.

If you are here for more Ms. Marvel nameplates, I'm sorry to disappoint you.. The commemorative nameplates for the Ms. Marvel Disney+ show is over but not to worry.. we still get free nameplates.
So, we just saw the reveal of the 1:6 Mortal Kombat XI Noob Saibot figure at SDCC 2022 but we don't have to wait long for the pre-order!

SDCC is back with a bang and Storm Collectibles isn't taking it slow! Several new figures are in development and here they are!
First reveal of Kabal, Sheeva, Nightwolf and a new Shao Kahn (Based on MK9) but there's more!
So.. it has been a while since we had any sort of Mortal Kombat statue release from PCS. A lot has happened over the years for better or for worse but nothing has been released since the 1:3 Kitana and 1:3 Mileena statues.
There were some concerns whether PCS, who are now known as Premium Collectibles Studio, actually do still have the Mortal Kombat license... until sometime late last year, when some teasers of 3 all-new 1:3 female were finally shown.
This week continues the trend of free nameplates in celebration of the MCU shows and here's the ones you get for this week.
The Marvel Studios' Thor: Love and Thunder 001 Exclusive Nameplate is finally back up, after the initial bug that was occuring when it first appeared. This will be part of a timed Mission Chain Reward.

Another month, another Shipment Specialty Item brought out by Marvel's Avengers. January saw Hawkeye get the Captain America: Civil War Outfit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So.. farming units in Marvel's Avengers has been quite a hot topic recently because of the shipments feature that was added in December.
As stated in my previous post, the rare reward in each month's shipment has gotten many players, like myself, farming for units which can be used for opening shipments which give out plenty of new customizable options like nameplates, outfits, emotes and of course.. the coveted Specialty Item..
So I was looking into what would be an easy and fast way to earn units and most importantly, in a legit way..
Grinded out the 1st Shipment Specialty Item on Marvel's Avengers; the Wakandan Stealth Outfit for Iron Man.
This was a rare outfit that you could get from opening Shipments, a new feature in the game. Players had to open 100 shipments before the December set of items expires and a new batch of items is added for the following month.
Happy New Year folks! Here's my 1st purchase of the year! Fully digital content for a game that I have been spending a lot of time on recently..
Marvel's Avengers!
Here's a breakdown of the 16 rewards which you can unlock from this promotion..
