it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Hey, I love traditions, but it ain't "Monopoly at McDonalds" on an app. If I'm not struggling against condensation to peel off that little ticket to tell me I won a Sausage Biscuit, it ain't right.

Hook! Hook! Give us the Hook! Probably the least controversial of the CW/UW figures for this #TransformersTuesday, his only real drawback is the lack of an extending crane arm. Gotta be careful which elbows to use on this version, too!

Paw Patrol has some of the coolest vehicles out here. That said, if I saw a dog speeding down the street in this, sirens blaring, I'd be the first one to demand a recall election. Fuck that mayor!

Full disclosure, this one has been fighting me for so long that I'm a little surprised I managed to finish it at all! #scalemodel #scalemodeling #cannonballrun #ambulance

That time of year again

The meme of Homer bursting into Bart's room to alarmingly rouse him from a deep sleep, but Bart has been replaced by the guy from Green Day, and Homer by the guy from System of a Down shouting "WAKE UP!" That's what happens when September ends, Billy Joe.

Running a little late this #TransformersTuesday, but the entry should be no surprise to anyone who was here last week: Scrapper! As with Long Haul, the UW figure has the right bulk for a CHUG construction vehicle but better paint, articulation, and accessories.

I stopped getting the MP figures when they switched to cartoon designs, so this was my first time seeing Hoist. Yikes. I agree with you, Lift-Ticket looks so much better!

Hoping for dope, mine has yet to be delivered. I like the pics I've seen so far, though.

Expansion on my frustrated short from mid week...not fatal, but definitely a setback 😡 #scalemodel #scalemodeling #exdriver #anime #manga #soichi #caterham #lotus #super7

Stay informed, but also stay creative. Build something, write something, play something…whatever you can do to keep yourself from burning out.

Moving on to the first of the 1985 Deceptions this #TransformersTuesday with the much-maligned Long Haul. He’s definitely got some…interesting…proportions, but I still think the Unite Warriors Constructicons are the best: bigger, better paint, decent articulation, and more accessories
