That's No Moon - That's a Christmas Gift

I did not ask for this. My wife surprised me. The story of how she got it into the house was even funnier. We live in a townhouse with steps to the main floor. A lot of steps. Well, she got the notification it was delivered. She went outside. Not there. Looks up at neighbor's steps. It was misdelivered next door. She goes up - this box is huge and very heavy. She carries it down but doesn't know what to do with it since I am working from home. She gets it into her car and takes to her work which is a mile away. She bruises both legs getting it into her car. Then she had to get it home for Christmas. 

It was a huge surprise. The box is extremely heavy. Looking forward to building it.

Happy New Year! And Some Resolutions for the Toy Industry!

Hello everyone! First of all, Happy New Year. I really hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous new year. Also hoping the craziness of our country's politics gets less crazy. The bar is low. 

I usually post New Years Resolutions - for the toy makers on this day, but I ran out of time.

These are the few things I'd like to see.

Star Wars

1. Let Playmobil take a shot

2. Let MEGO make some 8 inch Star Wars figures. Release the same waves as the original trilogy. 

3. Someone pick up the pieces of bankrupt Diamond Select - Gentle Giant Jumbo Kenner series and finish the line.

Hasbro

1. Continue the awesome GI Joe Classified line. Finish the original 13.

2. Keep doing the Marvel Legends

3. Either do more 3-3/4 inch Star Wars or hand it off to someone else (see above)

4. More product from Andor

5. Give us the bad guys and Army builders for Indiana Jones - Adventure Series

Playmobil

1. Besides Star Wars, do a Harry Potter line

2. More television and car sets from the 80s

MISC

1. More Battlestar Galactica

2. More Stranger Things figures - currently Jazwares needs to finish out Season 5. Would be nice if McFarlane finished their 7 inch series. 

EVERYONE - Bring your prices down. It's way past the tipping point. 

Christmas Haul

Big thanks to Matt from Toybox for the Christmas gifts. He said this was in response the Spider Man peg people I painted last year. Wasn't necessary but much appreciated and a lot of fun. I followed his instructions for the most part, opening these throughout the day instead of all at once. Really appreciate the GI Joe firefighter, the Diamond Select Black Hole figures, and the Cold Slither album and comic. I will be listening to the album today finally. We took off for New York City right after Christmas.

Kermit Jones

I've started taking my Palisades Muppets exclusive Kermit Adventurer on my travels. So far he's been to Outer Banks, NC and Utah. 

Grenadier D&D Female Box Set

I always liked the artwork on these Grenadier D&D box sets better than the figures themselves. I had the Dwarf set awhile ago. I may and try and pick up some empty boxes if possible. May even try painting some of these. This set was a steal. It was a complete set, great box condition, and a ton of extras for a great price.

M&M Golf Balls

These are so cute. But sold them off. Took some pictures before they were sent off to someone else to enjoy.

Super7 Dune Figures

After watching Dune 1 and 2 (the remakes), I thought I'd treat myself to the vintage style figures from Super7.
