Hope you like this one I posted like five days ago because Dice By 42 says you get to see it again!

Boss Fight’s Grim Specter, doing a final visitation on a foul, lying warmonger who’s clearly a strong proponent of the Unitary Executive theory.

RNG Vault 763/771, finished 11/7/25/
A blue skeleton in a robe holding a scythe and fireball looms over the hospital bed of The Red Skull, who recoils in fear and the realization that he’s a stand-in for Dick Cheney. Hardly seems fair to Skull, honestly.

GOT: Budo!

Gonna keep doing #Joevember on pics I needed to do anyway and jump ahead to Day 23: “Ninja Vs.”… cultural appropriation. Whatever, KYLE.

I did as much research as I could manage to ensure this was a reasonably valid joke because I care, dammit.

In the Joe base, with a large metal crate in the background, Jinx and Quick Kick look sternly and disapprovingly at Kyle “Budo” Jesso, a very frat bro lookin’ dude dressed in entire-ass samurai armor and holding a helmet in the crooked arm, other arm out in an attempt to evoke “Hey guys, check ME out!”

Hey, the dice p0icked an #AEW pic from the RNG Vault in honor of Blood and Guts?

#45/771 is the one of the gotchapic for Adam Cole and Penelope Ford. I needed two hey’re diehard members of the Jazwares Rubber Jacket Club and I wanted to show their arms moving.

GOT: Mercedes Mone!

Solid 7.5 on the Jazwares Effort Scale due to the sculpt, the glasses, the CEO hair tampo, and the knuckle dusters. Some graps hands woulda been nice tho.

Pic’s a bit of a toss off. Luke has letter knucks too and there’s always room for a turkey.

She made her monsters grow. That’s kind of her whole thing.

RNG Vault #967/770 is a pivotal moment from the lengthy series of pics I did in 2023 (Feb 19 for this one) making an entire Power Rangers episode where the team ultimately fights Beef Boss and Mancakes.

GOT: “Black Machismo” Jay Lethal!

He was the “it’s this or pay shipping” add to my last Ringside order and I like him more than I thought.

So much stuff. A near-perfect rendition of his All In 2018 gear. Well worth the $15 price if you’re ordering other stuff too.

“Black Machismo” Jay Lethal hits a classic arms-up Macho Man pointing pose on the Dynamite entrance stage, wearing a black jacket and pants with yellow and red fringe, 80’s shades, and a hat. His “Black Machismo” and “Ooooh Yeah!” graphics are on the screens behind him.

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.
DC 9” dolls, L-R: Batman (Black and Grey) - Joker - Batman Beyond with bent-ass wings, Batman (Blue and Light Grey) DC 9” Dolls (L-R) Superman Blue, Classic Superman, Classic Aquaman DC 9” dolls (L-R) Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (Classic Hal Jordan), Green Arrow

GOT: Jack Perry

Real Bat-Glass. Cry me a Bat-River.

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.

#toyphotography

On the entrance stage of All In London 2023, Jack Perry (Jazwares AEW Unrivaled 18) points at the Batmobile (Batman ‘66) where Hook (Ringside Exclusive) is sprawled across the hood being attended to by Aubrey Edwards (AEW Real Scale Ring Pack-In). He’s pointing at the windshield, presumably describing hau authentically silicate it is and what you can do about it. In the entranceway, CM Punk (Some Old-Ass Elite Version) is shaking his angry old man fist at the audacity of it all.

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.

GOT: Grim Specter!

RIP Dick Cheney.

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.

Got the MAFEX Miles my first full day in Japan. Rest of the trip, 5% of my brain was planning the series of pics this finishes.

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

This is the Marvel Legends head I used for the Presdient in the Dreamscape pic.

I have no idea what it is or who it came with.

Anyone know?

GOT: Bonesault!

I hear tell that on AEW-402, Bonesault lost his belt to a lucha wizard without elbows or knees.

Well, AEW-56 does booking different. TEN BELTS BONESAULT and his procession of Belt Bone Boys.

Didn’t get this quite to where i wanted it.

Bonesault, a luchador skeleton in a gold mask, strides down the AEW entrance ramp, holding one belt over his shoulder, one around his waist, and a barbed wire baseball bat in his right hand. Behind him, a procession of other skeletons, up the ramp and to either side of the stage, carry Bonesaults other belts. His entrance graphic includes his face, flanked by two chrome skulls, green mist, lightning, and fire-letters that say ULTIMO BONESAULT.

RNG Vault 344/762, from March 30, 2024, is either my first attempt or my first remaining attempt at a Street Fighter background. I had Ryu first but may be missing his gotchapic.

I’ve since built an entire Affinity doc I can use to make them because I love systems.

FIG PIC: “Dreamscape”.

Look. I’m 56. If you say “man with a snake head” to me I’m gonna think of Dreamscape.

Evil Dream Assassin is Logan. Dennis Quaid is Beyonder with Flash Thompson’s head. The President is Jameson no-vest. with a head I can’t ID.

An interpretation from the climactic sequence in the movie Dreamscape, where, on a dark red-lit subway traveling through a post-nuclear wasteland, Dennis Quaid (Marvel Legends Beyonder body / Flash Thompson head) chokes the evil dream assassin (Logan from the two-pack body, Cobra Viper snake head) who transforms into the snake-headed monster from a child’s nightmare. Behind him, The President whose post-nuclear nightmare this is (J. Jonah Jameson body, some bald Marvel Legends head) recoils in horror.
