The day has finally come! Huge thanks to Jose for being open to becoming the very first member spotlight on TazAlGhul.com - This is one of the main reasons I started firing up the blog. I always had hopes to bring the collector community together through my website and slowly but surely it is starting to happen. My hope is that every member spotlight will link up fellow collectors from all around and tighten the community of designers / artists / collectors and so much more. Since this is the first one I kept it pretty short and sweet and figured I'd let it evolve from there. Therefore, ladies & gentleman I give you member spotlight #1 with Jose Carranza.

​As Stated with the prior Question I Really Got into it when i Started seeing pops of Shows or Characters that I Grew Up Watching. What Also Sucked me In was The NFL pops! I was Able to Collect Every Pop Prior to The New Releases from Last year and this Year.

​My Favorite Has to be Funko Pops but My Daughters do love the Dorbz and Plushies. I Collect any other figure depending On What I Like and how It Looks.

​I Used to be an Avid Hunter from Several Retailers. Ex.Target, Walmart, GameStop, Hot Topic but as Of Lately it has been getting Harder and Harder to Aquire Certain Pieces. I've Moved To Shopping at Small Mom & Pop (Pun Intended) Pop/Collectible Shops. Few of my Favs are Pop Den Collectibles in Glendora, Big3Collectibles in Downey. Chrono Toys in El Monte to Name a Few.

​Over Time It has Gone from a Personal Outlet to Being a Networking and Community Thing and Getting to Know Lots of People That Have the Same hobbies and sometimes you can create some real Tight Nit Friendships. Also Being a Member of Los Locos Funkeros which is a Small Pop Mainly group but also help each other with other collectibles.

​I reside In Los Angeles, CA  but this hobby has taken Me as Close as San Diego for Comic Con but as Far as Washington For Funko HQ grand opening. Across My Time Collecting I've Managed to Form a Bond With Several individuals that also Leads Outside The Collecting Aspect of it. 

T- Not gunna lie ... reading this made me super jealous. So awesome!

​I Currently Have 2 collectibles That have to be My All Time Favorite which are Both customs. One is a Custom of My Oldest Daughter and the Other is Of My facebooks Group Avatar.

Sorry peeps. Been a few days since I've fired up the blog. Mothers day, and a crazy busy weekend put it on hold for a wee bit. In light of that ... jam to some Rancid ... cuz Rancid is always an unreal banger. GET IT.

Jam on to this 80's style beat from one of the finest DJ duos of all time. Nero. Get it.

Newly added Infinity Themed pieces are going live in the site! Swoop this bad boy before time runs out. One snap was all it took to make the MCU go crazy. 

Fortnite is getting one of the most unreal limited events ever! Thanos will be featured in Fortnite coming very soon where players will have the opportunity to wield the gauntlet and all its power! Not sure what these powers will entail but if it's anything like the movie I think it's safe to say the kill count following will be massive. 

I've read rumors about the characters being available for purchase like in the image above but nothing I'm seeing is actual fact. One can only hope! Fortnite will be taking all of my money if these become available. Fingers crossed! Keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for the start of the event! It's looking like a possible May 8th start date. 

Watch deadpool whip out the dance moves in Celine's new music video titled Ashes. Make sure to watch it until the end to see the little Celine/Deadpool mouth off session.

Had to do a double song for the day both by The Internet! One for the smooth funk and one for the silky smoooothhhhzzz. JAM ON

Throwback to one of the finest songs of all time. R.I.P Postal Service. One day I hope you come back for all the children who missed your glory days.
