Because I am TERRIBLE at timing, I am selling my boxed #Transformers Predaking mere DAYS after everyone is all knackered and spent from #TFN! Boxed and complete (haven't even applied stickers!) - selling Due To Broke. Also, please enjoy the description. I am once again Back On My eBay Bullshit.

Predaking action figure. Lots of robots as what turn into beasts have joined together to become a big bloke.. Red/black/yellow colour scheme. Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.The innards of the box of the Predaking action figure. Lots of robots disguised as beasts. Red/black/yellow colour scheme. Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.Box for Predaking action figure. A robot being all dynamic and exciting.Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.Imagine, right, if a load of animals suddenly turned into blokes. It would rock your nut, wouldn't it? Then, right, THEN, imagine if all of those blokes suddenly turned into ONE MASSIVE BLOKE. You wouldn't know what to do with yourself, would you? You're just not cut out to cope with that. None of us are! Finally, you can bring this mystifiying horror to your home with this Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking set. It has been transformed* into The Big Lad and back again, to make sure everything worked, but apart from that it's untouched. The stickers haven't been applied, so you get the giddy thrill of applying shiny new stickers, and the guns are still attached to the packaging with the little plastic wossnames. Incidentally, the other little plastic wossnames that held the figures in place are also included, if that's the kind of weird you roll with. Selling to clear some space and because I'm broke. It's an excellent combination of states to be in and I highly recommend it. *Not 'converted'. Come on, now. What are we doing?

A lot of columnists have lost their minds in recent years because social media has allowed people to talk back to them, whereas before they could say any old vile shit with next to no pushback

My lukewarm X-Men take this week is that Betsy Braddock should call herself Psylocke, on the grounds that a person's name surely attaches to the person rather than the appearance of the person, and Kwannon should probably find it quite weird and uncomfortable calling herself Psylocke at all

#EventsDearBoy 6. MARVEL SUPER HEROES SECRET WARS (1984, Marvel) The notorious focus group of small boys that decreed the most exciting words were "secret" and "wars" is the most consequential bit of comics market research ever done (runners-up "phalanx" and "covenant" got their due eventually)
