So, we've had the engineer come in. Our cooker does need replacing (which we expected). So any further contributions or purchases of original art in the quoted thread would go along way to help us.

Thank you to those who have signal boosted, donated or bought art so far. It really means so much.
Hey friends. Collating my original sales posts here in a thread. Context: Some things combined means our savings have been exhausted and we need a little help. We prefer not to just ask for donations so please check out the sales posts below. I will also include my KoFi & PayPal too.

The drivers that come with the Blokees Wheels chase figures are even smaller than Dianauts!

These are really good and I'm glad @spider-father.bsky.social decided to open his at lunch yesterday and convince another three of us to buy a box.

Things like this make me believe that we're not in the DARKEST darkest timeline.

Taking a slight break from Scoobyposting (though there are connections) to point out that even as a dedicated an very long-term Venture Bros enthusiast, I have very little in the way of "stuff" and that is a travesty. At least I've got a figure of Hank, Fred's only competition for my love.

Fred Jones by @thekylestarks.bsky.social, whom I think is the natural choice for any future Scooby-Doo comics.

Overdue purchase. I really like the packaging! I thought there was condensation on the bubble but it's spooky fog!

The question is whether they're coming out of the boxes... hmm, undecided.

I'll buy Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island every time it gets a new release, but I'd love my favourite film of all time to get the proper Arrow treatment: documentaries, lavish slipcase, seven commentaries from cast/crew/critics, perfect bound book with essays and production art... the whole shebang!

This is maybe the crown jewel of my Scooby-Doo collection: an Alex Toth character sheet for a background character and the "Phantom" from the new Scooby-Doo movies.

I first became aware of him via Bruce Timm and dove into his work. A famously cantankerous genius, Toth is one of the greats.

Absolutely lovely to wake up to some positive news

I contributed to the crowd funded Scooby-Doo fan series Mystery Incorporated a few years back. The first, and sadly only, episode is still available to watch on YouTube. It was going for the Riverdale audience and was a really fun time.

As a reward I got this script signed by the cast!

In an attempt to further blend my interests, here is an artist proof (foil, naturally) of Bloodghast from Magic: The Gathering, altered by original artist Daarken ro be the Phantom Shadow from Scooby-Doo.

It is rad and will be part of my spooky Cube.

Game pieces from Scooby-Doo Clue (Scooby-Clue!?). I'm impressed that the designers and sculptors took the time to blend the gang with the classic Clue characters. That's next level thinking.

Happy Halloween all! I rekindled my spirit after a few years of not feeling it. Like coming home! 🎃

Today's Scooby treasure is a commission of my all-time favourite ship with a special guest appearance by my favourite villain, illustrated by best person @jlawrenceart.bsky.social.

The teal walls and green, wonky door frame evoke strong Scooby-vibes. A triumph on all counts!

I bought this record a few years back and, if legitimate, it's signed by Bill Hanna, Joe Barbera, Tim Conway, Heather North, Frank Welker and Don bastard Messick.

The signatures look legit and it's a really weird choice for a collector to get signed, but I guess things were different back in '89.

Small town with a dark and/or weird secret is probably my favourite genre.

The pipeline of Gravity Falls >>> Mystery Incorporated >>> Riverdale >>> Twin Peaks is one I plan to inflict on all my younger family members.

Mail call! The Hex Girls: Rogue Thorn by Lily Meade.

The Hex Girls are an interesting case of slow burn breakout characters. They crop up every now and then but I think they could hold a franchise; the Josie and the Pussycats to Mystery Inc's Archie and the gang.

Time to release my inner eco-goth.
