It’s #VintageToyTuesday , so more dolls!
These are not Mego or Mego reissues - they’re Famous Covers style DC figs that came out around the same time. I think I bought a lot of them in the WB Store. I should know more and/or research more but… I don’t and haven’t. Heh.

Two big giveaways are constant appeals to their own expertise or insider knowledge and unacknowledged contradictions. Like saying one thing for an entire day and a half then shifting positions while pretending you felt that way all along.
It’s tough following big political white dude accounts.
Traded The Historian for The Former Aide a few weeks ago but was getting “Following Seth Abramson For A While On Threads” vibes. Monomania and “unspecified hard sell” mostly. Bye.
Always reevaluate your sources and ditch as needed.

RNG Vault #393/767, a quick gotcha for the Jazwares Wheeler Yuta, who recently had his head reunited with his body after months of it accidentally popping off and sinking to the bottom of the bin.

I’m basically caught up on wrestlers now. I’m not buying any Fed toys unless they’re a cheap Ultimate of an undisgraced Legend and those are few and far between.
Why the Batmobile? It’s my only car.

The below post is, by the way, me stopping my lizard brain from screaming “THE CALLS ARE WORKING! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!” into the void after a vote like that.
That would be unhelpful and mean to people whose hearts are in the right place even when their heads aren’t.

One of the big ways people react to having their traditional forms of power stripped from them and replaced by an illusion of that power is to cling desperately to the illusion.
And also to be very angry with anyone who tells them they’re doing it.
It’s very understandable.

Shootin’ practical! I don’t do it very often because I don’t have diorama room. I don’t even have room to have a wrestling ring set up permanently.
I do have a Wayne Maonr, though. And RNG Vault #406/766, from Aug 6 2024, is a gotchapic for Batman ‘66 Bookwor,m.

Don’t believe a single Dem senator, even your faves, who say they didn’t agree to this and won’t vote for it.
They’re being allowed to save face. The “bad cops” are always decided on in advance.
Unless they’re bucking the system and the people that are allowing this deal to happen they’re lying.

His gear is very good. His joints are very loose. Like, he can hold a pose, but if you touch him or he fallso over, everything shifts. Might be time to finally try out that loose joints liquid I bought on spec.

I’m sorry, can someone explain to me how we haven’t had a constant conversation for the past four decades about how absolutely batshit insane Sgt. Slaughter’s voice work was in Real American Hero S2?
Every line sounds like it was shouted from inside a phone booth.

When I figured out how to take Photo Mode pics from Spider-Man 2 and tweak them, things really clicked.
