Amazing 🥰

Hahahahaa. I was interested if they were retail releases but £260 for a handful of 3.75” figures, 2 light cycles and a fancy base is a joke. Just gimme Tron & a light cycle in one box you morons!

A toy accurate modern Thundercracker would solve that, and I’m not just saying this because I’ve been wanting one since the Earthrise mould came into existence & didn’t replicate Classics Thundercracker’s colours 😙

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

I'd like to request a late checkout

Kev @bighatdino.bsky.social · 1d

Have also nabbed a preorder for the new DBZ versions of these two, which would include the first Super Saiyan Figuarts I've owned.

Anyway, hoping these two look alright with the Kuririn I have on my shelf already.

Had to try out the Daima versions of these lads, didn’t I

Wave 2’s ‘Cats from the MOTU x Thundercats are amazing! They also have some neat MOTU gear but not neat enough that I’ll have them on my shelves in it 😁

Decided that one day this month or November, I'm gonna rewatch Captain Scarlet.

Also the end credits art is simply wonderful showing the indestructible Captain Scarlet in dangerous scenarios

Van Helsing’s werewolves remain the best ever

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 2d

Today I’m thinking about the flat faced werewolves like Wolf Man and Oz from Buffy… and also the snout men werewolves like from Van Helsing and Dog Soldiers.

I think if I was a werewolf, I’d be ragin if I was one of them flat faced ones.

K is watching more of The Bear. It is amazing how they make the lead actor The Most Greasy. Like, nobody else has that same shimmer to them, as if he's the only person who has ever worked in a kitchen.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
