This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly

Look, I'm not greedy. I'm just asking to win the billion dollar Powerball jackpot ONCE. Not every week or anything.
Using this piece by @reallygoodwizard.bsky.social in my introductory lectures for my design students.
Shoulders and hips. I have confirmed that the tail is NOT bendy.
@bossfightstudio.bsky.social recently announced a new Lobster Johnson figure promoting me to dig out my old 2005 Mezco figures from the days before ankle rockers. Still love the character design and the execution of this figure for its time.
Soon.
Nah the Ewoks are on our team. They're good little guys.
Still looks dead to me.
Hanging out on Endor waiting for news.
Heck of a sky out there today.
From Sarah's latest Q/A. Read if you have the time. $upport her if you have the means.
I'm so happy to hear that you found each other.
You know what I always say: "Return one for the next collector."
I can't believe this figure exists. Absolutely amazing. Even comes with a literal piece of string for his web rope. I don't know who specifically worked on it but credit to Dwight, Ryan, @danyun.bsky.social and anyone else who had a hand in it (and Toei Spider-Man as well).
Should have mine in hand tomorrow.
Me “I wonder if Fred McGriff is gonna show up?” And once again @secretgalaxy.bsky.social and @danlarson.bsky.social don’t let me down. Just the best.
Did not forget. Chose not to include.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

Ohh. A calling card. I like that.
Based on the "invisible" versions they have produced already, I assume his ability to make things invisible extends to his gear. Or at least things that are touching him.
Imagine calling the drawing on the left "ruined."
Also he has a teenie tiny patch that says "You can't kill what you can't see."
Basically the same body and several accessories as Van Helsing. But flexibility to give him several different looks. Deco on his suit is really impressive.
I wish the jacket overlay was softer. Not that you really need to put him in ACTION poses. But still. That said, he's not the only figure in the line with limited crunchability due to overlays on the torso. Otherwise he a nice figure for what he is.
My father spent 30 years in the Navy and always said "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight and die for your right to say it."
I have a few more in the pipeline as well. Thankfully, FMF/BBWS sent me General Brown and The Eraser as review samples. Saved me a couple of bucks.
Some Generals.
I will be there as a guest all weekend. I expect you to come hang out with me for as long as possible. Even if that's just 15 minutes or so.
I think you know the answer to both of those questions.

Hmm. It's on sale... Star Wars Boba Fett | Swarovski share.google/88i6rM2Dnj6D...
My wife made it!
I won't listen to Robo unless he's wearing my merch.
This is also how I collect action figures.
Eating a sandwich that's so good I'm already thinking about the next sandwich that is exactly the same as this sandwich.
Needs some Cornhole.
I'm not a big Hellboy fan but that Lobster Johnson looks really nice.
Heads up. I'll be a guest at Plastic City Comicon this weekend in Leominster, MA. Stop by if you're in the area. Yes, yes. It's on the 23th from 10-5. www.plasticcitycomiccon.com/guests.html
The team has done an incredible job on these figures and I'm real proud. Important that you spread the word and get in your preorders! Special thanks to @indigo-k.com for the design work on Gruagach!
New Mighty Maniax wave is up now at Rocom Toys - bit.ly/41XHmzy There is a new duck head in this batch, and it's gorgeous!
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Is DC having a bad apples convention?
I can't imagine a better nostalgia-history channel, where, instead of always just being about Ninja Turtles and Star Wars, they use Patreon/membership money to do deep dives into often-forgotten stuff like this.
Satire, art, humor, beauty, pleasure, creativity. These are not luxuries, they are necessities. We need all of these things to keep bringing light and hope to the world, in a dark time.

Thanks for the info!
I think it's the same body from the neck down. I don't know if the yellow matches between the two. I'm really, really, really, really, hoping they do. Maybe @danyun.bsky.social can help out.
I have a new free Patreon post with a poll. I’m looking for opinions on some title screen sketches. Very rough stuff, but hopefully there’s some potential. Here’s the link and I’ll post the image as a reply as well. www.patreon.com/posts/136949... #GameDev #IndieGames #SoloDev #Gilgamech
I want the Wolverine. The Storm isn't different enough from the one I already have to consider it an upgrade for me. So it's a tough call.
I assure you the shelf is very well secured to the wall and capable of holding much more weight than the Rattler. Heck, I could probably do pullups on it.
Never heard of 'em
I am certain that I am the first person to notice how similar their names are.
There's a split second where I wait for my brain to sort out "Bill BURR v Bill BARR" and it drastically changes the impact of what I'm reading.
This months Members Only video will be out this Thursday. Join on Youtube or at Patreon.com/toygalaxy to see it!

My art book Carbon Based is live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni... I was obsessed with Transformers as a kid, drawing this cover was such a blast. Soundwave is just the raddest!
All good!
I happened to be lucky enough to get my Rattler on July 5. Not a comp or review sample. Paid for it like everyone else. Wrote my review on July 15... and here we are.
Latest issue of @toycollectr.bsky.social hitting now includes my review of the Haslab Rattler and lots of other cool stuff!

A custom piece made and sent to me. An incredibly nice gift. That said, Ramen Toys is attempting to mass produce a different version: www.instagram.com/p/DMegMpcRPy...
Rattler shelf in place.
The democrats are putting a way way way disproportionate amount of money time and energy into the hardest people to convert which feels like a recipe for losing forever
[Runs final search on Word document for all instances of "that said"]
Fun video by Dan here featuring at least one other Dan.
It is. And it's not great. Really thin, really flexible plastic that barely holds it clipped to his leg. It's not a sleeve like most holsters. But, if you're posing him with sword and gun like most Snake Eyes figures it won't matter.
V3 Snake Eyes doesn't exist in Classified yet. And these guys are only 3 years apart (1988 and 1991). Both could fit in with late 80s or early 90s.
Next generation combat ninjas.
Garfield and Nermal look great, but Odie might be the real champ of this wave.
Some recent Savage Crucible dudes.
Special thanks to @danlarson.bsky.social for having me on stream tonight to talk about the #TMNT Book pre-orders! If you missed the show, you can watch the replay here: www.youtube.com/live/480A_vT... And you have 10 days left to order the book! Don't wait - this is your chance! ToysofTMNT.com
Delightfully pleased with Miami Vice being the subject for this weeks Secret Galaxy, but @danlarson.bsky.social how could you NOT work this 85 banger into the episode!🤣 the song kinda slaps youtu.be/Bfrd9GJ2gSQ?...
working in the arts means knowing so many people over the years whose talent is undeniable and awe-inspiring, and who spend most of their time working shitty day jobs and struggling to survive
No prime. Should hold up. Haven't really put it under any kind of stress.
Oh HELL yeah. Nice work @danlarson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txzy...
Putting my chrome pen to work.
Always read Sarah Kendzior.

The Law wrist pegs are a little small so I'm using putty here in this image to keep them steady long enough to take the picture.
From The Law and Order set. Slaughter's hands are too big.
