Batman

I've been purchasing lots of new Tim Burton stuff, so i will be more active here at least for awhile. I bought a Batman PVC bust via a group in Facebook and I received it by mail yesterday. I actually bought it only because it was cheap and I got it quickly. I would say the quality of this small bust is very poor. It's only about 7cm tall and in the back it says ©1989 DC Comics, Inc. BULLY W. / Germany. Anyway at least now I have something other than only the book from Batman movie.

Music from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I also got mail today (again). I finally got the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -soundtrack CD which I had bought via huuto.net couple weeks ago. I think I still need to find 4 more soundtracks (Batman Returns, Dark Shadows, Beetlejuice and Frankenweenie by Danny Elfman) till I have all of them. Anyway I'm really glad to finally get this one to my collection!

The Pin Cushion Queen

Yay, I finally got this! I got this as a present today. I really love her because she is so depressed and even a bit spooky. This has been on my wishlist for a long time, so I'm very happy to get it to my collection finally. So this is also the tallest of all the figurines of this series.

for the Pin Cushion Queen.
When she sits alone on her throne
Pins push through her spleen."

Jack & Zero

Finally something new! This is my first Tim Burton item for the year 2014. Finnish alternative clothing shop Stuntman had this 40% off sale in their online shop for two days and I found this figure there. With the discount I paid 12 euros + postages for it. 
      Figurines were quite lot smaller than I thought, but they still look good. These are by Disney. I have few bobbleheads from Disney too. So there is Jack Skellington and Zero with gravestones and they are kind of like two separate figurines. It's not the best quality as you can see, but I knew it and still wanted this for my collection since it's very rare to get items from Finland. Of course I love shopping on eBay, but it is often easier and faster to get items from your own country. Anyway now I promise avoid getting more Jack figures because I have so many of them already and I'd really love getting more variety in my collection. Burton has made many other movies too you know...

A Monstrous Menagerie of Stickers!

Hey again! I has been awhile since I have gotten any new items for my collection but today something came in mail. I got Frankenweenie sticker book. It has information about the characters and lots of stickers. As a collector I am not going to use those stickers, I will just keep this sticker book on bookshelf with all the other Tim Burton books.

Oogie's Revenge

Finally I got it The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge videogame for PS2! I have been searching everywhere for this game and the last week I found it on huuto.net for 6,80€ including postages. Great deal I think especially since I was ready to pay much more for it. 

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge (Playstation2)

Anyway I got the game couple days ago via mail so I have already played few chapters and I actually like it. I wanted the videogame for my collection but it's even better to also find it interesting and worth playing through. Here's a gameplay video I found on youtube for you to watch:

Planet of the Apes

Today I visited The Good Fellows Comics Store in Helsinki and found some great books and comics that I had get. One of those was Planet of the Apes Re-imagined by Tim Burton -book so I got my first piece of Planet of the Apes stuff to my Burton collection - well if you don't count the soundtrack and the DVD that I already have. This book cost 20€ but I haven't seen it sold anywhere in Finland before so there was no way I would have left it there. It is published by Newmarket Press in 2001 invluding the screenplay, movie stills, illustrations, behind the scenes photos and drawing by Tim Burton.
