OK, that’s TWO $40+ Lara Croft figures that don’t come with stone gears or medkits but do come with the climbing pickaxe thingy. One more and I’m gonna start yelling about conspiraciers. The games aren’t called Lara Croft: Climby Shotguns, people. She raids tombs.

Your Spider-Man ‘67 Villain of the Day: The Master Technician! - See below, except he doesn’t turn people dumb. - The filler here is Peter Parker trying to get laid but having to deal with this motherfucker instead of “studying” with his classmate. And swinging. Always swinging.

Game systems I have true, legit affection for, as hardware, in order: 1) Sega Dreamcast 2) Nintendo GameCube 3) Atari Jaguar/JagCD 4) Sears Tele-Games (the rebranded 2600 we had as kids) 5) Turbografx-16 The rest were and are all just boxes I played games on.

I adore the Jaguar. I adored my Jaguar. I even adored my Jaguar CD. Was it technically a mistake to get one? Absolutely. Didd it look like a toilet? And how. Do I have a deep, abiding love of every garbage game I got for it plus the tiny handful of good ones? Hell yeah.

HA. When I first set up RetroArch on my iPad, either the Jaguar core didn’t work for shit or I misremembered that it didn’t. On a whim I threw some games on and it either always worked perfectly or it does now! Cybermorph! Alien Vs. Predator! Tempest 2000! Defender 200! KASUMI NINJA!

I know I don’t have any real use for it and I know its just the tampoed comic book mold that we’re all a little mad at but also I kinda want that Mary Jane magazine that didn’t come with the Aunt May I bought years ago.

Your Spider-Man ‘67 Villain of the Day: Kingpin! Continuing to backfill the Bakshis beofre I strted posting these. - Part of a two-episode stretch and three episodes total when they seemed to be trying to make a good Spidey toon. - Making fake drugs for old people. - Gets away.

RNG Vault 370 (6/13/24), is, in retrospect, me getting the wrong action figure in the divorce. But also the only Andrade I’d want is the current version and nobody ever made him. I got this Ultimate Edition cheap out of fondness for the Horsewomen era. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Your Spider-Man ‘67 Villain of the Day: Uncle Ben’s Killer! - From episode 21. TWENTY ONE. (First of the Bakshis). - Creates the quickly disabused impression that they’re gonna take this serious-like. - Origin goes like you’d think except PP spends the first 8 minutes before the bite being horny.

The last thought I had about PAC before learning of his death was “No he isn’t.” It was toward the end of the Andrade match and he went up to the top turnbuckle and Tony, I think, said, “he’s so comfortable up there”. It’s a stock thing commentators say about fliers but no, he wasn’t.

Hey, good news everyone, the single worst package tracking page in human history (from Gamestop, no carrier, set to Out For Delivery when it shipped on 9/19 and never budged, no updates, honestly looked like an AI recreation of package tracking) resolved favorably and I have two more Superfriends.

In a cartoony street that looks like it’s probably supposed to be in Japan maybe (backdrop that came with the toy) The Hulk (Marvel Legends Anniversary) picks up a ramen cart (Teeny Tinies, in his right hand, shaking the contents (two bowls of ramen, a sriracha bottle, a soy sauce bottle, a pt, pot insert, pot lid, steamer tray of dumplings, pair of chopsticks, and oversized pair of tongs) toward his waiting mouth.

This weekend’s big food project is smoked chickens. Brined in salt, roasted garlic, bay leaves, and lemon. Smoked at 225 in hickory until the legs hit 22t. Breasts carved and frozen. Dark meat shredded, parted out, frozen. Carcasses picked.
Four whole chickens, skins a rich medium brown , on racks on sheet trays fresh out of the smoker.

Only thing Im gonna say about that top 100 TV shows list, since all lists like that are fundamentally trolling, is that someone made a conscious decision to put Louie on it and high up. And they’re gonna say it was “despite” and we all know it’s “because”.

Back on this bullshit! RNG Vault 538 (2/12/25) is some Gundam-ass Gundaming. This was part of the gotcha series for the second of four Robot Sppirits Gundam I ended up with, Char’s Zaku II. Plus OG Gundam, Gundam Aerial, and Guncannon. #toyphotography #actionfigures
In space, Gundam, the Gundam from Gundam (Robot Spirits RX-78-2 Ver A.N.I.M.E.) uses one beam saber to block an axe strike from Char’s red Zaku II (same line), while stabbing backward with the other beam saber to explode a green Zaku II (part of the cartoon background).

It’s so very 2026 that the Outrunners can wear gear that says “smoking is cool, kids!” and we all know it’s a gag and can play along and the Fed makes move that says “white supremacy is cool, kids!” and we all know it’s dead serious.

So over Labor Day weekend, I did something I’ve been meaning to do for years. Find the bag of Loose Minimates Bits and research and reunite as many of the bits into their correct figures as I can. Ended up with nine, now free to fall apart in their parent company baggies. Did not find Frodo’s hair.
Nine little Minimates toys on a white background. L-R:
