Happy to hear the furnace is fine. Ours gave us a few scares, but luckily it seems the arctic freeze we were in has passed. 🤞Now we're dealing with all the home repairs due to the ice dams. Walls all torn open, crews here, insurance claims. All that "fun" jazz. I just want this shit fixed and done.
Ugh, I know this song and dance all too well, due to Tina's docs retiring or failing her over and over. New doc, new tests, new opinions, new worries. Rinse and repeat. I'm so sorry, brother. Sending positive vibes that we're not dealing with any c word stuff!
Oh shit! I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this crap! Sending positive vibes, man. Let me know if there’s anything I can do. Hugs, brother.
I savored every bit of this alt text. Thank you, my friend.
Thank you!🙏
Hugs back at you, brother! We’re just trying to get by as best we can in this hellscape we all find ourselves living in. As icing on top, this shitty winter has been relentlessly attacking our house, so that’s been swell. Ice dams, thousands of dollars in damages. Sigh. I hope you’re faring well!
Thank you, brother. ❤️
She really was. Thank you, Mick. 🖤
What I would give to hold you again.
We had your 16th party tonight and sang to you. I swear I could hear you barking for a treat, like you always did when the song would end.
Happy Birthday in heaven, my sweet angel.
You are forever loved, Prissy.
He's up now at places like 5KToys and Bombusbee!

Very important detail: he has LEFT HAND!
VAMPIRE HUNTER D!!! I have wanted a figure of this guy since I was 12.
"Blood Hunter" by Egg Toys gets an instant preorder.
Okay, so it's not officially licensed. But at least they got the name of D's species right, when Western media translations went with the head-scratching "dunpeal." 😆
My VHS copies (fansub & official) were lost to a hurricane, but I have upgraded Project A-ko so many times now that it may count as a form of mental illness. This 4K by @discotekmedia.bsky.social should be the final chapter in this saga…right?
Dance away
Your sorrow, dance away…
Truth! Does your Blast Off’s head get stuck in shuttle mode due to insanely tight joints, too? I have a hell of a time prying that noggin out.
I'm going to take a guess that the number of times this guy decapitated himself in the process of capturing these shots surely had to have been in the double digits. Shockwave's grandpappy here gets the distinction of being a toy that provokes active cursing. 😆
My man over here just trying to run a local pub.

I can’t see these guys as anything but extremely divorced dudes now.
Good. One less thing to buy. Those who missed out on the 5-pack can make this a priority while we sit back and relax. 😆
I feel this in my soul. It’s the first song I hear in my head as soon as the holiday season starts. And I have been quoting it endlessly since ‘86 or whenever it first aired. I showed these figures to my wife, and she said “Barney needs a Santa suit.” 😂 One of us!
I was thinking the same. Put a Santa outfit on Barney and now you have my money. 😆
Happy holidays, pal. 🥣
Ho-ho-ho, I’m hu-hu-hungry!
Four Horsemen Studios have done it again! Figura Obscura Mouse King is a phenomenal figure and a pure joy to pose, pop & swap and shoot. I had to get two. And it gave new purpose to my old Jazwares Fortnite Crackshot nutcracker figure! Now there’s a proper battle under the tree!
Nutcracker was now hard pressed, closely hemmed in by the enemy, and in a position of danger.
At this moment, the king of the mice went rushing up at him, squeaking in triumph out of all his seven throats. . .
—E.T.A. Hoffman, “The Nutcracker & the Mouse King”
Nutcracker loudly shouted:
Crack crack crack!
Stupid mousepack!
Squeaking, squealing!
Gnawing, clawing!
Crack crack crack!
Stupid mousepack!
But wait! Just behind Marie, in the cabinet, a small, delicate voice began: "Awake! Awake! Onto battle! This very night! Awake! Awake!"
And Nutcracker drew his little sword, brandished it in the air, and shouted, "my dear vassals, friends, and brothers, will you assist me in this difficult fight?"
The mouse army gave 3 cheers in unison upon the arrival of this horrendous beast.
They had been sitting until now, but they hopped to their feet and set themselves into motion. They hopped right toward the cabinet - and toward Marie, who stood near it. Her heart practically beat out of her chest.
Just in front of Marie’s feet, a plume of sand, lime, and brick shards spouted into the air as if by some underground force, and seven mouse heads with seven shining crowns rose hissing and squeaking from the ground. Then up came a mouse's body, at whose neck all seven heads were attached.
It’s also easy to bring him into Cosmic Legions. Mecha Fish, GO!
