10th Anniversary of HTTYD (for me) + Announcement


Exactly ten years ago on this day, I saw HTTYD 1 in its entirety for the first time, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I'm not exaggerating! I truly consider this day as the start of a new era. There was the period before HTTYD and the one after it! Yes... This wonderful animated film had such a great impact on me! Although it wasn't today, I still vividly remember almost everything.

In this post, I'd like to indulge in a bit of nostalgia and share stories about the main experiences I've gained over the past ten years and how the world of HTTYD has influenced and continues to influence my life.

The How to Train Your Dragon in concert experience

              

Finally, 2024 May 25th has arrived! This day was a milestone for me in a few ways! But to explain you why, I'll give some context first. If you've been reading my blog, you might already have some idea, but if this is your first post, then yes... some explanation is needed.

Happy birthday Hiccup!


(Click on the image for the full size and open it on a new tab so you can zoom in)

It's another leap year, which means Hiccup officially celebrates his birthday today! (Based on the books). On this special occasion, I've also took a picture of the current state of my HTTYD collectibles. It was also time to do an updated one, as the last one was done a year and a half ago, and since then, I've acquired some truly beautiful HTTYD artifacts. This day, by the way, has become especially significant to me ever since I've met the beautiful world of HTTYD, and I like to celebrate it like an anniversary.

Of course, this also means that I'll soon update the collection post, (link) and new videos can be expected, as not long ago, another statue arrived, which I've been waiting for about six months...

So, I wish a great day and celebration to every HTTYD fan, and of course,

Happy birthday Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III!

Who is Toothless for me

 

One more year has passed... Time really flies as fast as a Night Fury! It's quite shocking to think that this time next year will mark exactly 10 years since I first discovered the wonderful, enchanting world of HTTYD (well, as it should've been in 2010...) and I'll be able to say that almost a third of my life has been about it! I already mentioned Night Furies in the first paragraph and it's not a coincidence. This post will be about them, (surprisingly) more precisely, what they mean to me and, to be very specific, who a certain Night Fury is to me! I would add that if I went into full detail, this post would be several hundred pages long (also) and I'd be writing it for months, but I have to draw the line somewhere. (For everything else, there's Discord). Moreover, I also have to take into account the TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) syndrome, so this post will be a concentrated version of what I think of Toothless, who he really is, and why he means so much to me!

IMPORTANT! If you're viewing this post from a mobile device, it's crucial that you open it only on Wi-Fi, (unless you have unlimited mobile data) because it's full of large-sized gifs! (Hundreds of megabytes!) You have been warned!

Gift of the Night Fury (deleted) bad dream scene animation attempt

   

First of all, Happy Snoggletog to all fans! My gift this year for you guys is a video that no one has ever done before. Well... as you can see on the thumbnail, this is the deleted dream scene from the short Gift of the Night Fury. Although in behind of scenes video the storyboard was shown, the animation never got done... well until now. Mostly, because I fantasize a lot how that scene would have looked if it had been made and also why such a wonderful scene had to be cut out. If DreamWorks refused to do it, then I'll finish it for them. :)

So the motivation was there, it just had to be done. Yeah... The latter one was a bit harder. This article will give you a glimpse into the background process to see why those 35 seconds cost me dozens of hours.

Taka Corp. Studio's Toothless and Hiccup statue

   

After more than 6 months of waiting, they finally arrived! There are no words, that could describe how gorgeous, amazing and awesome this masterpiece is!!! It's unboxing was a trill, not mentioning it's assembly! I had to make serious sacrifices to have them here, but everything for them! If you want to see my unboxing, assembly and review of this relic, watch the video! ;)

Update: I managed to get the LED lighting I mentioned in the video. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a bit spoilery, so watch that first please. If you want to see it anyway, click on read more. (Wait for it to load).

Sideshow's The Hidden World Dart, Pouncer and Ruffrunner statue

 

A month and a half later, another box arrived from Sideshow. This time however, it was a quite compact one. Ironically, it contained 3 beautiful Night Light hatchlings, named Dart, Pouncer and Ruffrunner. With them, this set collection is now complete and also their family! If you want to see the unboxing and my review on them, watch the video! :)

Sideshow's The Hidden World Light Fury statue

 

A month later after Toothless arrived, another Fury landed in my room. But this time it was a Light Fury! Oh and a female one! Yes, she came from the Hidden World directly, to expand my collection with her species too! If you want to see how I helped her out from the protective box she camed with and my review about her, watch the video! ;)

8th anniversary of HTTYD (for me)! *Updated* (2025.08.08.)

It's been 8 years since I've met the world of HTTYD and it made me a lifelong enthusiast. So, this red letter day deserves a very special post! I've been considering for some time, that I should make a catalogue of what kind of HTTYD relics I own. Somewhere I found it too personal to show them all, but recently I really felt it's time for it... Come to think of it, this way I don't always have to explain anymore who's interested in them what features or abilities they have. So yes, in this post I'll show you all the pieces I have in my collection. Their number is constantly growing, (especially lately) so it's getting a bit of a mess. For this reason, it would be nice to keep track of where my collection has expanded over the years. The post will be updated when a new artifact arrives!

Sideshow's The Hidden World Toothless statue

 

After 4 years, Sideshow released a new statue of him! This time its theme is the Hidden World and the statue turned out just simply amazing! Also, fortunately I don't need to add anything else in this post that wouldn't be in the video, so if you want to see the whole unboxing procedure and my in-depth review of him, check out the video! :)

My love and „hate” relationship with HTTYD


Another year passed, and HTTYD 2 celebrates it's 7th release day. In honor of this, I think the time has come to share you the other side of the coin, that you might don’t know I have with the movies.

About the title… Don’t worry, I won’t criticize (or worst), I didn’t get bored with HTTYD no no no… That’s not gonna happen! This post is nothing about that. It’s an internal conflict in me, which I can't resolve for about 5 years now… and counting.

How I Met Your Dragon

The exact shot, when I saw Toothless for the first time.

I can’t believe 10 years has passed since the release of HTTYD… It feels like a lot more, but there was a lot going on in the past decade, so maybe that’s why. I wanted to celebrate it somehow that’s for sure, so I though I’ll share my “little” story of how I got first contact with HTTYD and then what kind of events draft me to realize it became my life, and I’ll never be the same.

Back to the saddle!



Yes, I know it's been "a while", (more like forever...) but sadly, I had little to no time doing personal projects in the last year. Fortunately, that is changed with the new decade, and I've been working hard on them since. I'm not dead tho', I still love HTTYD and Toothless, (and will forever) so I'm not out from the fandom or that sort of thing...

As a fresh start, here's a new(ish) video from a recently released action figure. I was surprised by the new art stlye, and to be honest, it felt pretty weird at the first 0.0001 seconds, but then I realised, hey! It's very different from the previous ones, and that's actually pretty cool! So, I picked him up and went home. The rest, is in the video.

If you are from there and you're new here, then welcome aboard, feel free to look around and don't be afraid to write comments or ask anything! I would gladly reply!

I'm planning to continue making new vids, WIP's and some other "mystery" stuff in the near future. Just give me a little time, that's all I ask.

I'm very happy to be here again and getting back to the saddle, it feels like... home.

New unboxing video!


Hi everyone! I have a new video for you guys. (Well, technically it's few months old, but oh well). Since Sideshow didn't came up with any Toothless collectibles meantime, and my hunger for more Toothless stuff was getting worst and worst, thankfully a friend of mine stepped in the right moment and showed me this "thing". It soothed my hunger greatly, but also amazed me, how cool it was! If you want to know what was it, check out the video. ;)

Thanks again bud! This "thing" is really cool and awesome! I love it! :D

Updated Toothless model


This is it! This is the post I’ve been waiting for a loooong time. I wanted to make it public around Snoggletog or maybe more earlier, but there were complications (as always). This will be about Toothless, so if you’re a big fan of him (like me) you are going to LOVE this! :)

What are you waiting for, just click read more already… yeesh.

Sideshow's Toothless statue


Yeah... a bit late, but he's here! I know there are a lot of reviews by now, but that doesn't stop me for making my own. You can watch my unboxing and review of the statue by clicking on the embedded video above. But there are some things, that I want to talk about in this post, and I think these doesn't get mentioned in other reviews. So maybe it worth for you to read it. Could be instructing. (Or not).
