The Christmas Fallout - 2018!

Hope ya'll have had a fun and fulfilling holiday so far. I had an absolutely fantastic Christmas yesterday with the family and from the food to the games to the gifts, everything hit a homerun this year. Definitely one of my favorites in recent memory, even despite the like four hours of sleep I had gotten the night before. (Sleeping schedules, amiright?)

Anyway, on to the purpose of this post: showing off my loot! Welcome to my first Christmas Fallout, an old tradition of Matt of XE/Dino Drac that I always loved, so I couldn't pass up making it a thing on my blog as well! How it works: I share off my Christmas haul and ya'll can even join in with yours in the comments below. Let the fun begin!


$25 Amazon Gift Card

The first thing I got for Christmas I had actually gotten a week or two before thanks to some family friends who dropped by for some pre-holiday celebrations. Saving this puppy for that one movie about Zangief's specifically-shaven body and Sonic's book club.



Deadpool 2 (Blu-ray)
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (Blu-ray Combo)
Ralph Breaks the Internet Domez Blind Bags (Got 8-Bit Ralph and Vanellope!)
Kingdom Hearts Domez Blind Bags (Got Mickey and Goofy!)
Peanut Butter M&Ms

Stocking loot usually treats me pretty well and this year was no exception. Four Domez figures based on Disney-related things I love (Even got my most wanted fig out of the Ralph bags!), Blu-rays for movies I enjoyed, and when it comes to M&Ms, few are finer (or more addictive) than Peanut Butter.



Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 
Pokemon Let's Go! Eevee
Super Mario Party 
Mario Tennis Aces 
Kirby Star Allies 
The World Ends With You Final Remix 
Dragon Ball FighterZ (Switch)
Gamecube Controller Smash Ultimate Edition

Christmas and Birthdays are where I play catch-up on video games, so as expected, I got a lot of them. Obviously Smash Ultimate was the first one I jumped into and I've already unlocked all of my mains through Classic Mode. Also played a little bit of FighterZ and looking forward to getting into the real meat of the original story.

Not exactly a game but related is a Smash Ultimate Gamecube Controller, because I can never resist refreshing my stock whenever they become available again.


Digimon Adventure tri. Loss (Blu-ray Combo)
Digimon Adventure tri. Coexistence (Blu-ray Combo)
Digimon Adventure tri. Future (Blu-ray Combo)
Pokemon Advanced Battle the Complete Collection 

All the Mons! The Digimon Adventure saga is at last completed on my DVD shelves (for now) and all of 4Kids' original Pokemon seasons are finally at my beck and call. (Now all we need are rereleases for Chronicles, the Winter Vacations, Mewtwo Returns, and the Pikachu shorts. HINT HINT VIZ!)



Miles Morales the Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collection Volume 3
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Volume 5
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Volume 6
Invader Zim Volume 1 Deluxe Edition 
Invader Zim Volume 2 Deluxe Edition 

Also typically add to my comic collection on such occasions. Finally completed Miles Morales' adventures in the Ultimate Universe (Minus Secret Wars, but eh), started preparations for collecting Shattered Grid this time next year, and what with me finishing off my Invader Zim house box earlier in the year, I thought these HUGE Deluxe Edition books would be a good place to start collecting the comics.


Ralph Breaks the Internet: Click Start
The Art of Ralph Breaks the Internet 
Ralph Breaks the Internet 2019 Calendar 

Your favorite movie ever only gets a sequel once in a blue moon (especially if it's a Disney animated movie), so had to get as much Ralph Breaks the Internet stuff as I could before the franchise went back into hibernation. 

Click Start reimagines early parts of the movie with extra bits in a fun choose-your-own adventure style comic. (Plus an extra story by Amy Mebberson of Princess Comics fame that takes place AFTER the movie.)

I already had the art book for the first movie, so of course, I had to complete the duo. Only skimmed it, but really interesting stuff so far. (It's funny how BOTH movies cut scenes where Ralph was thrown in jail.)

Always get a Calendar for Christmas, so I couldn't pass up the chance to give my walls some more Ralph love.


Tomy Metal Sonic Plush

Now THIS guy was a surprise! My Sister and parents picked him up for me at Target while Black Friday shopping. My Mom was actually leaning towards a Mario plush, but my Sis told her I'd like Metal better. Considering I didn't have a Metal plush of ANY KIND before, I'd say she was right on the money.


Funko Pop! Ralph Breaks the Internet Wreck-It Ralph Vinyl Figure
Bowser and Geno T-Shirt
Ralph and Vanellope Sticker

That wasn't the only time this year that my Sis had the right instincts in picking out Christmas gifts, as her and her husband's formal gifts to me completely delighted me. I wanted to add that updated Ralph Pop to my collection ever since it was revealed and that T-Shirt absolutely made my day. Might be my favorite gift this year, in fact. IT'S GENO AND BOWZ, GUYS! FREAKING GENO ON MY SHIRT!


$35 Nintendo eShop Card

My favorite Cousin also dropped by as she usually does around the holidays and provided me the means to pick up the Smash Ultimate Fighters Pass and both of South Park Fractured but Whole's story DLC packs. 

Not pictured, but my Grandma also gave me the usual 50 bucks she always does at her dinner which I've already used to pre-order a certain upcoming 3DS remake and also procure something that I might go into on the blog eventually...

Finally, I won Sockemer Boppers in a random gift swap game.


Told ya it was one for the books.

How were YOUR celebrations and hauls this year? Drop a comment and get in on the Christmas Fallout spirit!
