Remember a couple weeks ago when I was whining about my beloved Clone Commando Fixer breaking his arm?

Ever since Instagram was bought by Facebook, now Meta, it has become so stupid.

One of the worst things about toys is the accessories. Well, best and worst.

Henrietta the Prehistoric Chicken is hoping to go 2-0 this year with a prediction in the big game tomorrow of “a team that has played in the Super Bowl as recently as 2023.”

I have seen so many people on Instagram post pictures of their figures with broken joints. Been happening for years. But it hasn’t happened to me.

I love using action figures like this…

Two hangings, a re-centering of the bracket, two operating system updates, a Roku configuration, a redo of the Roku configuration, two new cable orders, eight streaming account logins, three external device hookups, and four hours of work later and our new 75” Sony Bravia 3 TV is up and running and beautiful.

Dear Sony,

For what we pay for your products, our new Bravia TV for example, a five-foot power cable just ain’t gonna cut it.

Yes, there has been progress on my custom figures but just not recently. However, I was sharing some photos with another customizer buddy and thought maybe I should share them here as well.

What is this? Are you kicking field goals in your living room, Kevin? Are you planning on cutting through the wall and creating a pass through to your neighbor’s unit?

I’m curious… for those of you who have devices with biometric login capabilities, be they fingerprint or eyescan, do you use that functionality?

Has anyone else out there gone from owning a FitBit to owning an Apple Watch? If yes, I’d be interested in learning if you’ve experienced this.

Katie found an announcement on the Facebook page for Nate’s Middle School that they will be hosting a cubing event for kids in both our district’s middle schools.

I know this is now a year old, but why can’t Apple make a laptop like this ASUS Zenbook DUO 2024??

We got Nate an Apple Pencil for Christmas to go with the Procreate app he’s been wanting for a little while. We bought him the 2nd generation so it had magnetic charging on his iPad.

From all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!

I had absolutely no idea that there was a second Friday the 13th happening this year. So it crept up on me and caught me completely off guard.

This is the final post in my “Octoyber” series of toy shots. Sorry it’s a couple days late, but I had my end-of-the-month “administrative” posts to get up here. But… IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!

I love discovering new things I can do with my Apple Watch and thus further justify jumping ship to a product I wasn’t initially sold on.

Wow! I can’t believe ol’ Snap-P is still alive after all these years!

Here is part 2 of the Octoyber theme and photos I have taken to meet the prompts.

At the same time I’ve been working on Hobie, I got to do some more work to Duke/Jack Bauer.

I’m finally making serious headway into painting the head for Nate’s Hobie/Spider Punk (unmasked).

This month, I’m taking part in a 31-day toy photography challenge by Articulated Comic Book Art titled “Octoyber.” Each day, a new prompt is available to which we need to fit some toys in a photo.

I pray the placement of these containers on Nate’s dresser is purely coincidental.

There was a point in time when I collected Funko POP vinyl statues/figures. I didn’t have a ton but what I had, I displayed in my office at work back when I had to report to a physical workplace.

Earlier today, Nate and I attended Brick Convention: A LEGO Fan Event at the DuPage County Fairgrounds about a half hour from us. Much like the LEGO event I attended way back in 2010, it was a combination of builders displaying their stuff and vendors selling their stuff. It was cool.

So much for abstaining from purchasing an Apple Watch, eh?

Since I’m able to solve 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 Rubik’s Cubes without issue anymore and I only really focus on improving my solve time, I kinda want a new challenge.

Happy Friday the 13th, folks! I mentioned on Sunday that I’d be hosting my Jason Voorhees photo collab again all week long and I did. So here are my photos and the accompanying poetry I wrote for each…

One of my favorite holidays is coming up this week… Friday the 13th!!! And, of course, being me, I have to celebrate with my annual toy photography challenge… A Week of Victims!!!

Duke’s new head has arrived!!!

Duke’s dye job is done but I need to do some touch-up work.

Why does it look like Duke is dangling in a quagmire of crap? Well, only his arms are.

Remember the Tiger Force Duke redesign project? It has started. It’s slower than I’d like, but I hope that means the end product will be quality.
