You've inherited a movie theater. What's your first double feature?

Mostly Blu-rays. I found the best cult video store I've ever been to in Shinjuku. It was called Video Market and it was amazing.

@owenod.bsky.social Inspired by your video, and despite snark and no encouragement from @gavtrdq.bsky.social 😜, today I made dark chocolate Bounty bars from scratch.

The filling is made from coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Also they do not look like poop, so that's a win.

Toby sits where he wants. Much like this egg.

There's also been a pic of their upcoming Grimlock.

Grimlock has been freed.

@toygrind.bsky.social This is all your fault.

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

In less roboty MOTU figures, I also bought this Mattel 80th Anniversary He-Man and Skeletor reissue set of the original figures.

I had no idea it existed until I bought it yesterday.

I know these are stupid, but they are precisely my kind of stupid.

He's from the new Cyberworld line. I assume he was slightly remoulded as line filler.

Also @tainkirrahe.bsky.social, the JD Transformers store released him with a shiny sticker set. If I can get one, I'll bring you the sticker set next year.

I'm having a hard time deciding which of my new Megatrons I like the most.

The mean green machine is slightly winning overall. 😂

Yeppers.

(The G2 Primes and Megatrons are on their respective character shelves)

@tainkirrahe.bsky.social A few days late, but a certain charming boi has arrived.

Before leaving for the UK, the official Transformers TMall store let me know I'd be getting a gift for being one of the first 2000 to back Haslab Omega Prime in China.

Today, that gift arrived.🤣

Guess these didn't sell well in a country without Target stores.

Anna and I are both feeling a bit under the weather. This calls for a big pot of chicken vegetable soup.
August 16, 2025 at 11:24 AM
It comes with free nightmare fuel.

I'll be watching the superior Alien on Earth saga this weekend.
August 15, 2025 at 8:11 AM
True

My cat is broken, please help.

And finally, the biggest thank you to my biggest pal @gavtrdq.bsky.social

You were my partner in crime on so many things this year. You're always generous with your time to everyone, and your heart's bigger than the rest of you.

I'm always honored to call you friend, you jerk. 😂

Thanks to my Wednesday/Thursday crew of @gisproule.bsky.social @chrismcfeely.bsky.social @grahamthomson.com and @jimsorenson.bsky.social
for making those earlier days great.

Graham, it was especially nice to spend some actual time with you this year.

(Be patient, Temple 😁)
August 14, 2025 at 6:11 AM
And a huge thanks to my boy @gavtrdq.bsky.social for a copy of each of his prints, a mess of chocolate, and the Poddington Peas crossover no one knew they needed.

But more on Gav later.
