I want whoever’s gone apeshit for reissues over at Hasbro to remember that the retro card Zartans and Storm Shadows were figures they released at one time.

Funny, I just realizing I’ve never said this on here:

I took up #toyphotography because I wanted to play with my toys. But I have a VERY finite display space. So like 90% of my collection is tucked away. But when the idea hits, I get to dig ‘em out and play for a bit.

That’s it. No other reason.

RNG Vault 060/784, from way back on 1/16/23, is another in the Power Rangers episode sequence I did - fighting Putties in the park, featuring the Black Ranger.

I basically shot six fights and made six pics with some in the bg and one in the fg.

Finished the Big Thing today, which means not only do I get to post it tomorrow, that means I don’t need to sequence-break my acquisitions, a thing that matters only to me and even then I understand that it doesn’t really matter to me.

I mean, if we’re gonna do the usual Thanksgiving week cake vs. pie discourse, it’s contingent.

A 1/10 cake is way better than a 1/10 pie.

A 6/10 cake is a little better than a 6/10 pie.

At 7/10 the cake and the pie are as good.

At 8/10 and above, the pie takes it.

I don’t want this #VintageToyTuesday picture to make you horny, baby. But it might. You’ve been warned.

More 9” dolls from the “roughly the turn of the millennium don’t make me look it up” collection, this time from Austin Powers, definitely bought at either TRU or Suncoast.

Honestly, as “defining traits” go, “prefers the version of Morbius The Living Vampire who absorbs plasma through his weird hand-suckers because it’s so gloriously stupid” very much nails my whole vibe.

GOT: Comic morbius!

I’ll show YOU how to vampire, kid-friendly impostor!

Didn’t need this but the two-pack with Six Arm Spidey was better and cheaper than the single, so now I have a gummy-joint, old-body comic style Morbius. Plasma-sucking hands is funnier.

Light posting schedule today on account of having been murdered by Pyramid Head.

I don’t know why I keep looking at the Red Bastards website thinking they’ll have something I want so I can use the Marvel BOGO50 sale to get the Battle Damaged Spidey at a merely unreasonable price. There isn’t and there won’t be.
November 25, 2025 at 3:44 AM
The dumbest possible shit at the cheapest possible price is as much a part of my collecting as the coolest possible shit at whatever price I’m willing to pay is.

RNG Vault 474/780, from 12/10/24, is the Gobbledygooker / Egg 2-pack I got for like fifteen bucks.

Introduce yourself with four spacehips.

(Honestly this almost was the TIE Interceptor 4 times but I thought better of it.)

How many countries did the last Reich have to invade before the world stepped up and said enough?

Since Star Wars movie quality is in the discourse this afternoon…

Am I the only one who does this? Where a movie pulls some trivial bullshit in the first third, and that’s it, it’s dead to me, it can never win me back?

That’s what happened with me and Solo and the Last Name Moment.

Somehow, I feel like Nacelle is gonna miss November on Star Trek Wave 1 too.

WHERE! IS! GENESIS!

One of the fun things about both 2025 and Bluesky is that it’s WAY easier to go horribly wrong praising something you haven’t fully read than it is to criticize same.

Both good things and bad things right now tend to be worse than the headline or excerpt makes it seem. YAY!
November 24, 2025 at 8:50 PM
I see The Atlantic has Atlanticked all over the discourse again.
November 24, 2025 at 6:01 PM
GOT: Six Arm Spidey!

Lucked out twice with this. Got the two-pack cheap after wishlisting the single one thinking it was the newer one, but this is the newer one.

Also the old woman in red ended up looking like “what the fuck am I supposed to do here?”

Also, it’s no shock that the part of roast comedy Elon understands least is the consent of the roasted.

I mean, fuck knows it draws a lot of sociopaths, but at the end of the spectrum where it’s most funny/valuable, the roastee wants to have insults thrown at them because they think it’s funny.

“I built a robot you can order to ‘use forbidden words’ is the most Everybody Is Twelve thing I’ve ever seen.

It’s like kid me going into Sears and coding “10 PRINT “FUCK” 20 GOTO 10” on the display Commodore 64 except I didn’t have all the money and power in the universe.

The commitment to doing a pic for every fig I get can be tough because I don’t buy every fig with photos in mind. Sometimes I get figs because they’re cool and get cheap.

So I paierd Black Krssanthan with some Fortnite weirdos in RNG Vault 472/779, on 12/8/24.

Tag yourself, I’m “Injecting weed is for dummies!”

I just found this old picture of a poster that was on the wall at the school my friend taught at and there’s some incredible stuff in there

Getting all these Jada Street Fighter dudes about to pay off in yet another unexpected way, heh.

Got to where i can’t be spoiled on Full Gear although I do need to revisit some of the matches I skimmed for story beats.

I agree with almost all the decisions made but I’m so burned out on FTR as characters right now. I can still appreciate the matches they put on, including this one. But.
