DO WANT: August 2010 Edition photo

Summer's just about over, sadly. The kids are going back to school, college is getting back into session, and all those pre-orders you made several months ago are now being filled. But while Dragon*Con and Pax Prime aren't quite here yet to tease us with all kinds of new things, there's still plenty that came out in August to drool over. And so, we present to you, the Tomopop reader, the things we wanted most for this past month.

Hit the jump to check out all of our picks for August!

Colette Bennett wants Good Smile Co.'s Black Gold Saw figure

I want her BAD. I'm so in love with this entire line.

Jonathan Tubbs wants Volks' Little Sister Dollfie Dream

Little sister Dollfie Dream from Volks!? They must know I just received a doll! Alna is lonely and needs a buddy! Volks, announce one ASAP that's just as beautiful as her! ... um... I mean... uh... It would be splendid to have an additional doll to accompany Alna so she is not outweighed by my wider selection of static PVC figures.

Brian Szabelski wants Medicom's RAH Boba Fett

I've avoided buying a Medicom RAH up to this point. I may not be able to resist any longer.

Leah Bayer and Rio McCarthy want Alter's Dizzy figure

Leah: I think my original post title sums it up well. I NEED this in my life. Preferably by, like, tomorrow.

Rio: Two words. Alter's. Dizzy. I want this so badly I can't stand it! The only way I could want it more is if I got a sexy Testament to go with it, but that's neither here nor there. I wanted it badly enough before the color, but after seeing it now I absolutely NEED to have this in my collection!

Andres Cerrato wants Revoltech Lupin and Jigen

It's a crime to want anything less than Revoltech Lupin and Jigen. I'll have to wait for October and November for them both, but I don't think I could possibly have more fun with another toy.

Anthony DePasquale wants the Love Machine Figma

God damn, Love Machine is the best looking Figma since Duke Togo. I love Summer Wars so if I'm going to buy King Kazuma I'm going to need his foe Love Machine. His accessories are awesome with "The Keyring to the Internet" and his giant glowing Amaterasu-like ring. He looks cool, acts cool and is just an amazing figma all around. I want him and you should to.

Stephen Donaldson wants the Dead Master Nendoroid

Dead Master looks so adorbz and detailed. I need this in my life to go with all of my Black Rock Shooter Nendoroids that're on their way so that I can have them fighting/chilling/and bummed out all together in my giant displays of Black Rock Shooter figures.

Chris Hansbrough wants DC Direct's Covergirls of the DC Universe Armored Wonder Woman

I have to go with the armored Wonder Woman ... because its wonder woman. Seriously....I'm ridiculously gay for Wonder Woman merchandise ... and wang sometimes ... but mostly Wonder Woman.

Joshua Hayes wants NECA's S-Mart Ash figure

Hail to the king, baby! This month, I've decided that Bruce Campbell from Army of Darkness needs to be sitting with the rest of my toys on top the TV. I'm leaning towards is the S-Mart NECA 7" figure. There is nothing as satisfying as the S-mart ending of that movie. Beyond any other reason other than just the fact that he says "Hail to the king, baby!" before making out with some lady he just saves makes me giggle and cheer. This figure pretty accurately captures his look from that ending, and I want it. I've had my eye on it for a bit and this month is the month to pick it up. Looking at this figure will make me smile.

Scott Kremer wants Alter's Houmei figure

Despite not having seen the color sample yet, I'm going to have to go with Alter's Houmei. As Alter's Clalaclan has proven, Alter + Shining Wind is a match made in heaven. Thank God she doesn't come out until 2011, though; this holiday season will be expensive enough as it is!

Nabeel Mohammed wants the Generations Blurr Transformer

"Ohmygodohmygod,it'sGenerationsBlurrandit'sfantasticandawesomeand
he'sabsolutleythefastestthingalivenexttoSonictheHedgehogandhe'sbluetoo
Iguessthat'swhyIlikethembothandIhearhe'soutonshelvesbutit'llbeawhilebeforehegets

Chris Seto wants Volks' Bayonetta figure

After looking at the pics over and over again, I have to admit that she's really grown on me and the details make it look like she'll be a lot of fun to paint. I've also started playing the game again and I've fallen in love with the character for a second time so I'm putting her up for my DO WANT for the month. Price be damned!

In fact, I just recently (as in just a few minutes ago) chatted to Tokyo Hunter and got a request through to try and get all 3 kits I wanted at Chara Hobby this weekend!! So with any luck, by the time this feature comes out, my DO WANT could end up being a HAVE GOT!! Wee!!

And so ends another monthly installment of DO WANT from the Tomopop staff. But what about you, Tomopop readers? What do you want from the past month? Hit the comments below and make your voices heard!

Legacy Comments

Dizzy and Black Gold Saw were definite buys for me. Over-drafts here I come! =}
My fiance wants Dizzy so badly, he wanted her before she was painted and now looking at her painted makes him all tight in the pants with excitement.

I want the DM nendo, and I'd really like an ILLUSTRATION VERSION Black Gold Saw! Curses!

Love Machine is another must as both of us LOVED Summer Wars and instantly ordered King Kazuma, plus, that little squirrely face smoosh? AWESOME.
Gonna have to throw in my lot here with Lupin and Jigen.
I'm proud of Anthony's tastes. That is all.

I'm probably gonna grab Lupin, too - my birthday is in October, and due to having relatives all over the globe, they usually just send me cash rather than mailing presents. So October is gonna be an awesome month for me with all these releases - I already have four Figmas and a Revoltech ordered, with more to come.
I decided to go ahead and reserve dead master nendo :D I figure by then I should have money
Meh, first month in a long while where the selections don't really do it for me other than one or two "do slightly want"s. I think my fave August announcement was probably the Sherlock Shellingford, or it might've just been the most recently shown really cool thing.
After just watching Summer Wars, King Kazuma and Love Machine are both on my want lists now. Even that Bayonetta is appealing to me now too.
Nabeel Mohammed's got some very good taste in Transformers :)

Summer Wars = Win


So much win I had the urge to post again! haha
Generations Blur = Generations Drift repaint. Arggghh!
