i don’t talk art/craft stuff here very often here because rly im only crafty with one specific thing BUT it’s almost done and i want to share pictures bc im proud of it (my friend made the binder for me in the first place, he did the outside and left the inside blank for me to mess around with)

and i had one row that was a little too short for the boxed figures and ofc it was the only one I couldn’t move, so it holds all my loose figures instead 🥰 might throw some cards in there as well, not sure yet tho

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

got a bookshelf to hold some of my figures and things and im super proud of how I put it together!! the top shelf is a little too full but when I get the floating shelves that might clear up the space a bit

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

figure wise from today i got lucha, mjf and series 1 bucks! i was pleasantly surprised by how cheap they were, esp the bucks…how lucha cost more than them i will never know

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

it is a god damn miracle and a half, but ftr FINALLY got good looking figures. i actually want it so bad 😭 (these bitches STILL need to turn heel for my entertainment tho smh)

020

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

last but not least, RICKY! my friend at work is gonna go crazy over this one, but i love how the face looks! i wish his vest looked more like a vest instead of a jacket, but other than that i have no complaints!

010

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

and ofc cope w his slightly goofy ass beanie, but i still love him, the rest of him looks amazing <33

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

swerve looks great, i just kind of wish they had the robe he’s wearing in the picture they used (but also kind of glad bc the robes are a hit or miss…)

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

i am SO pleasantly surprised how good killswitch and christian look. like, THE PAINT JOB ON KILLSWITCH??? PHENOMENAL!! and christian’s expression is everything

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

all of the figures this set look really good, but for some reason willow’s chase looks better than her regular figure?? but im just happy she got a figure in general, SHES SO CUTEEE

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

i don’t even have a single full page yet, and am still on 2021…AUGH

030

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

and some of the other fun ones- ive never pulled an “in action” card before, and this one is SICK. danny on the red pulsar looks phenomenal, and the a-e-dub card is actually pretty fun! this whole set is so fun to look at, i love it!

020

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

my big hitter was the red-orange color flow christian, and WOW this card looks so much better in person. a huge step up from 2022!

120

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

i personally LOVE the glitter bomb parallels, they’re so much fun! action’s is my fav 💞

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

went to megacon yesterday, here’s the figure haul!! i got SO lucky with the chase figures, esp sting’s. the guy actually let me have it for less than what was posted! and im SO happy with the darby one, ive been looking for that one!! it’s the most beat up out of them all but that’s okay ❤️

152

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

got more 2022 cards, and holy shit look what I pulled??? this card looks SO fucking good with the deep red???? i am OBSESSED. this immediately became my favorite gear memorabilia card

181

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

i finally got my hands on a 2021 box! can anyone tell me how the absolute FUCK i managed to get not one, but TWO memorabilia cards in one box???

020

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

i will say tho, skye’s is definitely the best looking out of this whole set!!! im so glad both her and julia got nice figures ❤️

060

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

OH WE GOT A LOOK AT THE NEW DARBY FIGURE…..AAAAAA THE PINK TRENCHCOATT (am too excited to properly criticize, i will do so later)

162

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

so I got a wwe kyle o’reilly figure to open, and it looks great! but do all wwe figures have the ability to just. do a full 360 with their torsos. bc that’s kinda funny if so, LOL (excuse me twisting this bitch with one hand awkwardly)

041

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

soooo i did not realize that the 2022 metal universe cards have variant photos for some of their blue spectrum parallels compared to their base cards??? this is only one set of a few i found that have 2 different photos for these two cards.

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

my coworker decided he’s just gonna slowly give me the stuff he bought for me until i have it all to pay him for, so the first one is the ring of honor bucks!! the box is so much bigger than i expected 😭😭 but they look so nice!!

020

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

lastly, i usually do not like merch cards like . at all . never liked the shape of them, but i LOVE the design on this malakai one. this is the only one that gets a pass from me despite still hating the shape of it (so far)

010

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

i got a few skybox premium cards as well, but I can’t decide between these 2!! adam cole and yuka sakazaki look SO good with the gold background

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

i got a few regular 1997-98 retro cards, but mjf’s is my fav! i love how the space background on these cards are different per person, you never get the same pattern and it looks so nice 🥰

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

next is this hardware max caster card I didn’t know was apart of this deck until i got it?? how come y’all get TWO see-thru cards huh

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

first off, my big hit: purple 1997-98 retro card for matt jackson!! this one is 178/199, it looks SO fucking pretty oh my god…all of his cards look so good and for WHAT

110

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

my sister got me sting n darby for christmas!!!!! 💞 i want to open it but everyone is telling me to not, im so conflicted 😭

040

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

forgot to tell y’all abt the last figure i got, so y’all get the last one and todays all in one. got dax to match w my ftr mat relic, and i got SUPER lucky finding nick at walmart!!! i never thought id see the day where i get a matching set of bucks from big stores

010

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

i had gotten a box of 2022 cards earlier this week and thought I hadn’t pulled anything good…I look through the cards again today and it turns out I HAD PULLED ANOTHER FUCKING AUTO WITHOUT REALIZING IT??? WHAT THE HELL

020

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

okay here they are!! the nick jackson auto card and the signed trent figure ❤️ i now have to go thru my figures to pull out the unsigned trent so i can open that bad boy, LOL

030

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

new figures alert!!! managed to find copeland and the newest matt jackson!!!! (knowing my luck i’ll never find a matching nick….)

040

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

i did wait to pull all of the packs i had before doing this…i got a few numbered cards, but i also got a 2022 breakouts card, which is WAY cooler in person?? you can’t tell by the picture, but the card is thick, and the flames are actually a thin layer in the back compared to the rest of the card

152

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

LOOK WHAT I PULLED IN THE FIRST GOD DAMN PACK OF THE 2022 CARDS!!!!

072

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

my coworker also gave me a matt jackson i already had, so guess who gets opened up out of the box! (he also gave me a few aew stands which was very nice bc i could not get matt to stand up on his own 😭)

130

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

SHES HEREEEEE AND SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!!! im a little surprised at how small the box is but im just so excited to finally have a ringside exclusive!!! my coworker is so fucking awesome for getting this for me (i paid him back for it but still)

130

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

oh! i forgot to show y’all the figures i got! i managed to find mox and yuta! (which is incredibly funny considering everything that has happened in kayfabe so far.) the only bcc member im missing figure wise is claudio now! out of this particular set tho, i need both claudio and danielson still!

060

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

i don’t usually pay too much attention to the backs of cards but orange cassidy’s from the 2022 set is so fucking funny. just “Good.” look how far we’ve come in life

083

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

got tired of struggling to keep my special cards on my desk so they got moved to my tv stand instead. it’s a little messy but i think it works good for until i get shelves! (all the numbered cards are in a stack on my dresser, idk what i want to do with them yet)

010

van/max/hooper 🔞 @vanthot.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

and for the last box i had, the 2024 box! other than the matt hardy auto that i pulled (which is sick even tho the man is not in aew anymore), there wasn’t rly much in this box. but my personal fav is this diamond plate taz! it looks SO sick, and i hope diamond plates look like this continuing on!
