I know one day I’ll dread snow. But honestly; today is not that day. I love this. But seriously, I need to go buy a pair of gloves.

Seven years ago I married my best friend. Seven years later we own a house in Illinois and are experiencing snow for the first time. Life is crazy. But not as crazy as we are… if you define crazy as staying inside all day in warm clothes watching tv. Love you, Lily!

We’re like… not even halfway through November. I don’t even have a snow shovel yet. What am I supposed to do with this?

People keep saying that the display stand that comes with the Luke/Vader set is too small. I don’t see it. Looks fine to me. Here’s a full shot of the stand with Black Seris figures on it. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries

I’ve seen people talking about the tag on Vader. Just you know, it’s easily removable. Also, Ronin has one too, so it’s definitely some kind of legal requirement they’re forced to do for wired capes.

In case anyone is curious, if you have swoosh blades from the Anakin/Obi-Wan set, they do fit Luke’s saber. It’s a little loose, but it works just fine. Vader’s saber has a notch it in because of the way the hilt is shaped, but swoosh blades don’t fit as well. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #BespinDuel

You may see these two thumbnails on my channel today. In fact, you may see them right now. They’re for the same video. I tried to do another room tour. But I got lost along the way. Video is live now on my channel. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries

Darth Vader doesn’t need fancy poses. He doesn’t need fancy glam shots. He just commands presence. And his cape, is nice. Especially after I cut the tag off.
The review for this set goes live tomorrow. I mean. My room tour video.

This Luke is my new favorite Luke in the entire line right now. Great likeness, great details, great paint apps, great articulation. I wish he had a few more accessories. Mainly alt hands and swooshy blade. But still, great. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #EmpireStrikesBack #BespinDuel #LukeSkywalker

Such. A. Good. Set. Not perfect. But the new Luke is absolutely worth the price of admission. Room tour coming. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #EmpireStrikesBack #DarthVader #LukeSkywalker

Big shoutout to @jordanghastly.bsky.social for helping me lock in the waist joints of Magic Square Bruticus’ arms! Now he’s solid! This is easily the best combiner I’ve messed with, looking forward to the toon parts upgrade, and maybe a weapon? Or I need to order their legends scale Shockwave.

For what it’s worth, investing a whole $3 into a chrome paint pen really brings out the shine in Wolverine’s claws.

Magic Square Space Shuttle is here and he’s great! I was so excited to get them together, I forgot to take a group shot of everyone in alt mode. Not that I have room to take a picture like that. These guys are so big.

My very messy desk after my livestream on @danlarson.bsky.social unannounced livestream tonight. Just to give some scale to the size of this Bruticus.

Last movie in our marathon is a lighter tone. Practical Magic. This has been a great marathon. Weapons, Companion, and Sinners were all great in their own way. Weapons is probably the scariest movie we’ve seen on Halloween. Sinners is the only one to get me emotionally.

Movie number 3 for our Halloween movie marathon is Sinners, another movie I’ve been looking forward to seeing all year. Also, kitty in front of the fire.

Just in time for Halloween, I finally got around to doing a room tour. Please enjoy how scary it is for a 43 year old man to have this much stuff in a room dedicated to it.
