Oh, a hallmark colonial viper. I guess it gets fed up working at its busy job and takes a vacation to a small town and finds love with a small town viper and has to choose between going back and making money in the big city or staying with the one true love in the small town.

C’mon, a small town viper that chops firewood for the local orphanage, serves exquisite espresso lattes (made from responsibly-source beans), and then writes poetry in its free time.

Oh, the number of innuendo jokes I’ve got. 😅

At least Petey’s swinging with a Black Widow and keeping it within the same animal name species. 😅

Poor dude probably also shot his webbing prematurely.

Is that Nat, Yelena, or someone else snuggle-bunnying with Spidey?

If it’s Yelena, I think we know why she was so depressed in Thunderbolts: . . . some of Peter’s depressing backstory rubbed off on her! 

As was mentioned, Sentinel compacts the snot out of the legs and feet for fighter mode.

Toyrise’s is like most Legioss/Alpha toys in that the feet stick out well beyond the arm boosters.

Eh, I’m enjoying the show well enough.

It’s basically a Star Wars underworld story with characters that are not completely good or evil.

Even the lead investigator falls into this with an estranged wife and his being an absentee dad to his son.

We’ll see how the story and characters pan out.  But there’s enough here to keep me interested.

It’s definitely a nicely animated and silly film.

Don’t expect too much of a story.  The first movie looks downright Pulitzer Prize worthy compared to this one.

There’s a number of references to almost all the various Mario games over the years, and you’ll note a bunch of familiar musical cues.

But yeah, I never cared much for Bowser Jr., and this film doesn’t change that opinion.

. . . And Mario’s still a jerk-face! 

So yeah, wound up customizing Wet-Suit :

I think the display is good now.  Got all four branches of the military represented, have the OG13 in there, and the four lady Joes from the original run:

So, I’m only 15+ years late in finally making this custom 😅, but wound up doing my own little take on the Joe’s second Navy SEAL.

The figs acquired to make the custom:

The finished product:

I thought the rails are where you place the lengthwise-folded dollar bills.

Allegedly.

Or so I’m told.

Speaking of rails, “Toy”rise hasn’t added a railgun version yet?

I thought the essential skill for a stripper is the ability to spin around and slide down a pole.

. . . . At least that’s what “not-so-close friends” and “distant associates”  always say.

It’s too bad none of Fox’s wingmates is a turtle.

Would have made for some fun awkward moments! 😅 

. . . But there’s an outside chance we could get a “Slippy Toad.” “Toad, just Toad” interaction.

X-Transbots' Monolith ("youth" version).  I've had him for ages, just never got around to photographing him.

I’m more a fan of the Studio Ox version, but this is a damn good photo and pose.

Condolences @pengbuzz.

As you continue to mourn, take time here and there to be around people who will support you and lift you up, whether it’s out there or here on our little message board.

A Saint Patrick’s Day short about sporting green:

Okay, finished the last episode:  the whole third season felt kinda unnecessary.

Genndy can do whatever he wants to;  they’re his creations after all.  But the only stuff that kept my interest was with Mira and the Dino’s.

I’m not disagreeing with the plausibility of everything that happened.  Just that I was cool with the bittersweet ending of Season 2.

Kinda already hinted that none of the mains would die, so that kinda killed some of the suspense.

LEGO Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition (set 76344)

Do any of the parts light up?

Toyrise foot (looks like standing on tippy toes or as if wear super-high stiletto heels):

Sentinel foot:

Toynami Alpha foot:

There were a couple folks discouraged by the 'high heels.'  Looks like this may be a nonissue.

^^Still the same issue.

Ideally, the front light-grey part of the foot should angle forward more, so that the foot doesn’t have so much of a high-heel arch.

As has been said before, it’s probably a design compromise to keep the price down.  In a perfect world, they’d design the whole foot assembly to collapse into the leg more.  It makes for a cleaner, compact fighter mode and helps to stabilize the feet in the other modes by allowing the heel to sink a little into the leg cavity.

The Tread will be an actual tank (with wings).

And then another version of the Tread will be an extra large version of Jim’s truck (with biplane style wings).

Yep, the drone looks like a Transformers toy now.

Big ol’ thick box with some wings strapped to it.

Just a quick pic while I was moving stuff around in the cab...

Ahh, the Season 3 couple.

RIP. . . . . . . NERDS!!!!! [respectfully] 

^^While shedding the blood of the Saxon men? 

I wouldn’t have been opposed to a chibi-fied Misa and the VF-1J.

Or Skull-Leader and Claudia.
