Google Lens has been failing me in IDing these parts I found in a random Transformers weapon bag. That yellow one looks so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. Anyone able to recognize any of them?

Got a figure from the Tick series today. Looking at the back had two funny thoughts on Man Eating Cow; One is that it's listed as a good guy (yes I know it wasn't bad in the cartoon) and two, judging by the format of the other names it's named Cow and has Man Eating action.

Going through some Marvel Legends I snagged & when I moved Vindicator's bicep joint, his chest just kinda crumbled. Wasn't cracked or damaged before. It reminds me of GPS, clean crumbling break. To be clear it's not, likely just bad plastic, but something I've had on a ML before.

Was going through toys for eBay & decided out of curiosity to check out a Sonic and Knuckles figures I had been letting my niece and nephew play with when they visited. Turns out they were the Resaurus versions & were a wee bit rare. Gonna have to get new Jakks ones for the next time they visit, lol

While researching for a TFWiki article I'm working on, I rewatched a bit of EarthSpark and spotted a cute Easter Egg I hadn't spotted before. In Age Of Evolution Part 2, when the Terrans are making their plan, Nightshade asks if they can be the bobblehead. Which is an owl.

Well it's over. Final tally is 1386/10k putting it at 13.86% funded. That officially makes it the second lowest backed quantity Haslab after Reva's Lightsaber with 1413, and the lowest percent backed with Cookie Monster beating it at 20.8%. And this means Tron bombed twice this year. 😒

Entering the final stretch for the Tron Haslab & it's pretty dire. It would need 754 more backers to not be the lowest funding percentage one so far, & I'd be shocked if that happens. I have to wonder if doing a smaller cost & backer total with some parts made into stretch goals might have helped

Ya'know, with the Tron Haslab doing as bad as it is, making het subject of an email on it "End of line" isn't the best choice. when I saw it I assumed they were ending it early instead of pushing a reminder there's three days left to back it.

Final week for the Tron Haslab. I forgot to check totals last week but that said it only 66 new backers since then, so not a big jump. Kinda wondering if any retailer preorder numbers will get dumped in, as you'd think they'd want people to see a big spike. It's gonna take a miracle at this point.

I'll fully admit, I'm pretty bad as marketing so far, so trying to change that. Hopefully people don't mind me popping in an occasional eBay update when we get something vintage, rare, or kinda cool listed. These seem to check all three boxes I think.

Checking back in on the Tron Haslab and it looks like it picked up 27 backers. Really feels like they're gonna need to dump retailer orders in to help the numbers jump up. But with this doing so poorly, I wonder how big those numbers would even be. A little under 9k in 20 days is a tall order.

Been a little over a week, time for another look in on how the Tron Haslab goes. There is a little good news at least, it broke 10% funding. If it manages 1005 more and hits 2081, it will pass Cookie Monster and not be the lowest failed percent funded.

Lets take another look at the Tron Haslab. Currently it's at 989 backers, up 136 since the 14th. That puts it at 9.89% funded. It's really not looking good. Makes me wonder if we might see them do something radical before it ends as it's pretty clear this would take a miracle to fund.

With the Tron Haslab not looking so hot, I was curious how it stacked up so far to the failed projects. Turns out it's passed Cookie Monster, so it's not going to be the lowest backed total at least. Still it's needs 2081 backers not be the lowest percent backed one, and it's got a long ways to go.
