The next James Bond movie should be a partially fictionalized telling of the making of Dr. No, preferably written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karazewski of "Ed Wood" fame. "Ed Wood" made me care about actual Ed Wood movies, which were not a thing for people in Phoenix in the 1990s.

I saw very few USA 250 toys at stores. These Merikah Furby toys are a Walmart exclusive, but these were at a local thrift store today.

The History of Concrete is a movie I am looking forward to. If you've never seen "How To with John Wilson" on HBO, go watch it, and you'll get it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF7v...

Did I go off the deep end while driving around last night? Well...

Another good one. Wednesday's review - Super7 Universal Monsters The Mummy ReAction+ Figure! This is an o-ring guy. He's new. www.16bit.com/fotd/260805-...

The first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, came out in 1981. Its first legacy sequel was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 27 years later in 2008 after a 19 year break. Shrek came out in 2001. Shrek 5 is expected in 2027, 26 years later. Shrek 4 was 2010, 17 years prior.

I enjoyed seeing Spider-Man 2: Brand

The Reaction+ Universal Monsters are so freaking charming and fun. Slowly taking over the Tower of Terror (which, er, bought just to display them! 🤣)

I wonder how annoyed gem/rock/stone people are about Steven Universe character names and Google image search.

I finally posted my Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Deluxe Sureshot Hasbro review. I'm not crazy about this one. www.16bit.com/fotd/260804-... Stress marks bring me down, man.

I went out looking for toy dinosaurs and saw this new-to-me Jurassic World Imaginext set at a Kohl’s that seemed to be in the middle of resetting.

Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.

There are no new Adventure People or ARAH Joe vehicles…. I got a Jurassic World Reimagined Chopper Chase from eBay. I put my new Bengal from Operation Recall in it, with Mr. Goldblum testing the foot pegs. This is a decent haul.

I still think Star Wars toy collecting can be viable, but Walmart just relocated the entire toy section and this is the new shelf. Lando is from 2021 and there are at least 8 Asajj fighters. Fans need newness.

Target has Jurassic World toys 20% off this week. They're stocking the new Mattel exclusives, plus restocking the old Indominus Rex with the orange on the back, so it might be good to go looking.

Yesterday, @nadiaoxford.bsky.social and I went to the Toronto Blue Jays game, and I'm happy to report that Rodimus Prime is the new leader of the Autobots! And as much as I love the guy he replaced, I think he'll do a better job and kill it in this role.

Oh I do love Star Wars: The Retro Collection season. Here are R2-D2, Chopper, and the newcomer R4-M9.

In case you've forgotten, the 1990s Kenner Star Wars POTF2 vehicles are pretty spectacular with your newish The Retro Collection figures. Sure, the foot peg sizes are wrong, but Ceremonial Luke slides right in the OTC Millennium Falcon gunner's seat.

I'm not sure I believe it.

Would you believe that other comedians who auditioned to play Wreck-Gar in TFTMQ included Michael Richards and Bill Maher?? Strange but true - as proven the audition tapes just shown at TFN!

Happy birthday, Leo! Also, that slime is a superb idea. I hope he does more MOTU stuff, I'm weird about putting slime on my toys so this seems like an ideal solution for display.

Nonnef 🔜 FanExpo Chicago@nonnef.com · 4d ago

MOTU Static slime is up and in stock, I'm waiting till next week to do the PR for it. Leo's spending his 14th birthday helping me throw up a few sheets of drywall. Everyone wish him a happy birthday. #leo

We added this black costume Maximum Series Marvel Legends Spider-Man last night... and wow is it selling well. If you're inclined, you might want to pre-order today because it might be presoldout tonight. www.entertainmentearth.com/product/hsg2...

My regular-ish Target had a whopping 18 of this year's Star Wars: The Retro Collection set. I bought one there a few days ago, so I'm beginning to think this may have an abnormally sized run.

Opened Operation: Recall Retelo, a new o-ring figure made by a fan with design help from Ex-Hasbro G.I. Joe people. Review in progress. Love that pigeon.
