Keeping it in plastic sleeves is one thing. It’s the hard plastic prisons I think are weird. But also, people do what they want. I was just curious what the vibe was from people in the hobby.

It’s all in my face. It’s called a beard.
Struck a nerve, I see. Telling.
I open everything i get. I don’t collect any toys for value. If I want to invest, I buy stocks.
I mean, I assume it’s a game. A card based game, I remember being in high school and my friends playing it.
To anyone who collects Pokémon cards. Do you the game? Do you and your friends get together and whip out your decks to battle? Or do you just stick your cards in hard plastic saying “wow! Look how much they’re worth!”? I’m genuinely curious.
Why did I get two? For free shipping, of course! But seriously, this looks great. About time they shipped. #MarvelLegends #Spiderman77
“And then flatulence.”
I, too, am pausing all my shipments to the US.
IT MADE SENSE AT THE TIME OKAY??
This knight is gonna look awesome going up against that dragon. But until then, this Silver Knight has to fight off some undead.
Maybe shredder and splinter will have bumpy skin too.
So the turtles are fine. They look better than the bumpy skinned ones, but the lack of ankle tilt really negates a lot of their articulation. But Splinter is awesome. He has ankle tilt, can actually be in some great poses. They set is fine, but overhyped. Happy they weren’t expensive.
Got this in the mail today! They look great! Decently priced. A little bummed I had to buy splinter and shredder too. I just care about the turts. #TMNT
My…. Cat?
That’s because you’re a man of culture.
Hordcore Cornography.
They’re great! amzn.to/3JmouD4
Since using glue dots for the troublesome figures, this is what shelf dives look like. Such a smooth criminal.
Cat.
It’s weird that a traditional pairing of pizza (which is mostly bread) is just more bread, in a different shape, with fewer toppings.
I have the non-toy version of that! I prefer the cartoon aesthetic over toy. But if I see Seaspray, I’ll grab it.
I’m now 5/6 for Devastator! Just gotta find Mixmaster!
I’ve never stood in line for an autograph like this before. I hate it. But the company is nice.
Not yet.
If you’re at Chicago Fan Expo today and you think you see me. You did. I’m so sorry.
I’ll keep up with it. But it’s on the back burner when I literally have nothing left to watch.
Got a few more toys delivered today. Living so close to Chicago means getting stuff from Pulse like the day after it ships. Which is really nice. #Transformers #AgeofthePrimes #AlchemistPrime #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RogueOne
I just checked, yeah I’m like 3 episodes from the end of S2. As long as there are answers, I don’t mind sticking with it. But like… this show isn’t going the way I expected, and not in a fun way. I’m kinda losing interest.
I’m into season 2 and I just do not understand anyone’s motivations. It’s just a bunch of “oh! This persons a titan! You didn’t know that! What a reveal!” But like… okay?
Is there ever a point in Attack on Titan where you understand what’s going on?
Vortex is playing with himself.
Computron is easily my favorite combiner. And outside of Optimus Prime, probably my favorite transformer. I love this. But don’t get me wrong, there are issues. Some of them legitimate, some of them just choices I don’t like. But hopefully won’t have to wait too long for the final 2 figures.
Found a Walmart today with the collector shipper and terribly posed figures in it. Guess what I bought!
Sometimes I just get thirsty for something blue.
Daring duck of mystery!
I can’t not see the face on the new Age do the Primes Vortex. I love him even more now. #Transformers #AgeofthePrimes #Vortex #Combaticons #Bruticus
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but this is the greatest contribution the society that Transformers ever gave us. youtu.be/0HWfmsy5vfI?...
It’s Craftman Toys interpretation of Scattershot.
Playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and absolutely loving it. Everyone gets a French baguette outfit and berets. The most French game I could ever ask for.
It’s how fascism works 🤷♂️
I obviously plan on posting more pictures and thoughts about this guy later, but for now, enjoy Craftsman Toys Light Strike and his big head mode.
“They won’t come for abortion, that’s been decided already in court.” “They won’t come for same sex marriage, that’s been decided already in court.”
That’s actually really funny
He finds his dad using moisturizer.
I’m rewatching Psych and I was reminded about Metrosexuals. A concept that’s so 2007 it hurts. It’s wild that there was a time where a guy wanting to take care of himself even a little was considered feminine and some kind of unique sexual preference?
No. Martin Short.
It’s. So. Good.
It sat in my table for a bit, and you see it here
So spooky!
Yes!
Yeah, there’s no nuance difference between a terrorist leader with a cloth mask design to invoke that sort of design and a silly glow in the dark repaint to turn an established character into a ghost.
Awww heck yes. I love this so much. #StarWarsBlackSeries #Halloween
Look who got his light box set up! One step closer to getting back to reviews.
What an amazing set. I seriously can’t stop looking at it. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith #AnakinSkywalker #ObiwanKenobi
Well now I take it all back.
I got the Lego Brick Headz Optimus Prime and he’s the most adorable Optimus Prime I have. I could do without the truck mode. But I love the robot mode. #Transformers #LEGO #OptimusPrime #BrickHeadz
I’ll be that guy…. That’s TMNT 2.. from 1991… why am I like this?
Sooooo Strange New Worlds just gave the first canonical Holodeck episode and it was an amazing love letter to 60s Star Trek. I loved it.
…. Acceptable
….. somewhat acceptable. But I think the human should be Gandalf.
That would force Bunson to be Frodo.
Anyone who casts muppets as LOTR characters and makes Kermit Frodo is wrong. Kermit is Aragorn. Piggy is Arwen. Then cast from there. I will not be taking any questions.
Finally found a spot for my Anakin and Obi-Wan set! I really wanted to put it on the shelf on my desk so I could turn the LED red, but it wasn’t big enough. It still looks great, and glad to crowd my Hot Toys with some Black Series. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith
Vega is here! I remember being so disappointed when we could finally play as Vega, and he wasn’t nearly as cool as when you fight him as a boss. But he’s here! #StreetFighter2 #JadaToys
They traditionally do, once they sell through their on hand stock.
For anyone who is still missing out on any of the SDCC sets, the GI Joe Cold Slither Set (which sold out multiple days at the con) switch over to preorders today, set to be released in September. Expect the Black Series and Marvel Legends set to do the same. You’ll get more chances.
I realized I hadn’t really posted that many pics of the new Anakin. You can do the filthy frank/bane meme pose. Which is neat. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith #RotS
I’ve ever been so happy to be able to taste my McDonald’s coke. Fuck off, Covid.
Sometimes you just gotta get yourself a gift. Walmart sent my Magnaguards in a box, but a too small box. But you know what? It’s fine. I’m opening these up anyways. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith #ROTS
This genuinely may be my favorite Megatron figure in a while. Great design, great mold, fun to transform! And he’s a cannon! #Transformers #Megatron #HeartofSteel
Because it’s my thing. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #AnakinSkywalker #ObiwanKenobi #RevengeoftheSith
It bugs me when tv shows have characters go into work either directly before or delicately after going on vacation. It happens in pretty much any workplace comedy. And literally no one would or should ever do that.
The system is down!
The amount of articulation these new figure have is really something.
You gotta start somewhere.
It’s like they went to the carnival and got “glow swords” as prizes.
If this were any other year, these would easily be figures of the year. But this is a really, really tough year. However, these are really, really great figures. #StarWarsBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith
Finally feeling up to tackling this. Time to take it out of the box and see what this set is all about. #StarWarsBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith
I also wanted to point out that I’m also now part of the “One Armed, One Legged Devastator Club”. This guy will be great when he’s complete, very solid so far!
I’m sure they’ll add them in some how. A game over head pack would be awesome. I almost got the SDCC bison and dhalsim just for the regular heads and hands they added. But I just couldn’t.
Got @jadatoys Vega in the mail today from @entearth. I still feel like shit. But hey, new toy.
Yeah, but mostly because I knew I could order it online after the con. This figure won’t be available until a kickstarter way in the future otherwise, and probably not even exactly like this again.
This is the only #SDCC exclusive I cared about getting. Is was so glad to get it after being genuinely worried I wouldn’t! Such a great looking figure! #FourHorsemenStudios #MythicLegions
Dr Cal Meacham (nice to meetcha)!
This Island Earth could be yours if the price is right! (The mst3k movie lives rent free in my head)
I seriously thought I was done with NECA turtles. But damn, seeing these in person really sold me. These 2012 figures look amazing, and that This Island Earth Mutant Krang is just…. *Chef’s Kiss*
Naaaah. You’re pre-spending money. But the actual spending is a problem for future Peter.
At this point, it has to be an Andy Kaufman-esque bit.
Welp. I haven’t had Covid since 2021. My sincerest apologies to anyone I interacted with recently. Sunday was the day I started to feel sick. Thanks, SDCC.
Got a couple of toys shipped to me while I was at #SDCC! Ontop of all the stuff I got at the con, I’m a little overwhelmed with new toys.
