From the bird app. Pictures of toys, video games, 3D prints. He/him.
I ended up bullying myself into getting superion, but I 100% can't stand the backwards leg guys, so I tried printing a new set of legs to flip em around. The frame is surprisingly sturdy even tho I don't have the guys for it yet, but it does extend the shin proportions a little more than I'd like.
Really sucks that modern toy collecting is basically just "preorder this the second it's avaliable OR ELSE". Oh, and you wanted to import something? Sike, shipping is as much as the actual figures now. Anyway, I'm mad that people like amazing Yamaguchi now and symbiote spider man sold out.

I eventually finished it, and it definitely picked up in the last third. But I'd say all the criticism I'd heard before I read it was true; a really cool premise, but paper thin characters. Every other chapter, it's another steely eyed spaceman with a single quirk to differentiate him from the rest.
Verticalturtles@verticalturtles.bsky.social · last mo.I've been trying to get through Rendezvous with Rama, and it's surprisingly a slog for something so short? Time hasn't done it any favors: the writing was already kind of thin, and leaned heavily on an idea that people have just done the hell out of for the last ~60 years.
Just saw spider-man again, and it really holds up? You'd think it'd feel cramped with so many little Side Dudes running around a la spider man 3, but it just feels lived in. And there was a ton of neat little visual tricks that similarly could have been really cheesy, but they worked too.
Pokemon selects are great because they're $20, have exactly Enough articulation for what they're trying to be, and are made out of kinda plastic they used for WWII era school lunch trays.
bro that $15 shipping takes this this mofo past 60, what are they doing over there

I've turned into the #1 bruticus fan since I got him, and I guess combiner fever has me wanting to go back and finish superion and devastator. But I'm also pretty sure it's been baby steps since menasor, so they're probably not as good and I'm setting myself up for $200+ of disappointment 🤔
You know that annoying asshole we all hate? Well I have resolved to put screenshots of his posts into your feed every day until the heat death of the universe. Enjoy
I just think maybe they should let Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen rest. They're pushing 90, stop making them shoot action movies.
Just spent two hours hitting up targets for starscream, and it was just strike after strike. Stores the app said had him, I gotta be clear. I even ran into another guy looking for one who was pretty cool, and we talked to the manager! But just an absolutely miserable experience.
Odyssey was great? I saw it in Dolby and that really is some AS THE DIRECTOR INTENDED type stuff. Several scenes I straight up felt in my bones. -Leguizamo was the sleeper hit -I still don't really understand why it was R? I was expecting full frontal sirens or something -I wanna reread Circe now?
Also worth remembering Taco Bell was the first big chain restaurant to go drive-thru/pickup only at the start of covid? They really do want everyone to Live Mas.
Kari Dru@karidru.bsky.social · last mo.Re: cyclospora, Taco Bell having ethics and going "you know what, it's always the fucking lettuce, why don't we just pull that until we know what's going on" resulting in all the outlets going "LETTUCE SOLD AT TACO BELL LINKED TO EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA" is a fantastic way to discourage ethics in future.
Pleasantly surprised by Xesray Medocus! The mythic legions comparison is inevitable, and I'd say he clears them pretty easy. Much better paint and articulation, similar modularity Also, Xesray is never beating the Gooner allegations. He comes with extra feet, they're just equal opportunity gooners.
They sent everybody home as soon as we got in, and afaik it's city wide. Feel like they coulda made that call last night, but hey 🤷♂️
I'm slowly making my way through the absolute trades, and I finally got to the Scared Batman panel. It's like meeting a celebrity in real life.
Dude I saw you autosave before walking up to me whats up man we cool
