Thanks PS Plus! I'm playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again, and man, I love this game. Playing through it again, the changes that they've made between launch and now are huge. But it's still great. I never got the Porsche in my first playthrough for some reason, but I got it this time!

Walked past the toy room, and the light was hitting Castle Grayskull just right.

Imagine introducing an AI function to your platform that makes it so people need to engage less with the content put on that platform, completely circumventing your own ad-revenue based ecosystem for paying creators. Nice one, #YouTube.

I love how many huge name actors got their start in shitty low budget horror movies. Critters 3? Surprise Leonardo Dicaprio.

Turtles of Grayskull Skeletor is such a fun figure. The whole Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Masters of the Universe crossover line has been a joy, with such a simple premise: What if Shredder brought the mutagenic ooze to Eternia?

#MOTU Origins #Modulok arrived. He is so cursed. My son absolutely loves him.
The reason I'm leaning more towards MOTU than #Transformers these days? MOTU Origins figures are FUN.
Modern Transformers are not made for kids. They're made for thirty-forty-something collectors.

The dude in the last pic is Space Marine ATAX - a suped up dude wearing #xenomorph tech in an effort to let a human fight against the xenos. Another I had as a kid, and even though he's incomplete, I'm stoked to have him.
There were another couple of Kenner Aliens there, but didn't wanna go all in.

Last but not least, these are #Kenner #Aliens figures from the 90s. The Flying Queen was one of the first things I saw at the trade day, and I couldn't get her out of my head. I had her as a kid, and have NEVER seen another. Apparently she's very difficult to find complete and functional.

Since buying Castle Grayskull for my son's Christmas pressie a couple of years ago, we've both been enjoying the Masters of the Universe Origins line.
These guys worked out to be $10 each, about a quarter of what they go for at retail. Very happy with this deal.

This guy is Transmetal Tarantulas, from #Transformers #BeastWars. Picked him up for $20, but his gun alone usually goes for $30. No rust, poses well, and most of the chrome is good, aside from a few dings on the top.
I could flip him and double my money easy, but he's going on my Beast Wars shelf.

These are from the 40th Anniversary #Transformers trading card collection. They're creator chase cards with art by Bob Budiansky on them. He's the dude that invented the characters of most G1 Transformers, including Optimus, Megatron, Mirage, Grimlock etc.

Today's Pickup #3 - Masterverse Teela.
Unfortunately it appears as though I'm into Masters of the Universe now. I'm slowly building a little collection. Revelations and Revolution were great. And for ten bucks, I really couldn't say no.

Today's pickup #2 - Decepticon Mirage! This is a Netflix Collection figure from one scene in a terrible animated Transformers show where Autobot Mirage pretended to be a Decepticon.
Forgettable, unimportant, but I love evil versions of good guys. So I'm gonna call him Egarim. Also $20.

Today's pickup #1: Transformers Legacy Squeezeplay. Featuring: ACTUAL HUMAN FIREARM as a weapon.
I desperately needed this guy for my weirdo shelf. But I didn't want to buy the whole four pack he came with.
So seeing him for $20... I couldn't pass him up.
