Well, if you wait long enough, feel free to have “her pooping out her spare head”, which is the dumbest possible pic I can think of.

Same, only I also just shipped a PIle so I’ll probably get mine weeks after YOU do and will have to be EVEN DUMBER by that point, heh.

Man, you gonna tell me I spent a valuable chunk of my layover time clicking on washed out projector screen camera shots of new McF garbage and not a one of them showed me a Superfriends Samurai? They weren’t gonna finish the It Was The 70’s We Meant Well squad but I was hoping for the Big 3.

One “fun” thing about me: If you’ve been on a plane with me at any point in the last five years and sneezed? I heard it. Coughed? Heard it and made an almost subconscious, instantaneous assessment of its… moisture content.

A rare brief triple snuggle in honor of #caturday and imminently rejoining these butts (both literal and figurative).

On the left, Lucy, a medium sized black and white cat, loafed on a couch, seen from above and back.

On the right, Kimchi, an orange, brown, and white calicao cat, similarly loafed.

In the middle, Oliver, a black and white cat probably also competing in the Sizeable class, sitting up and looking back at the camera.

Just me, doing a Bluesky search on my own posts because I cna’t remember if I did a specific pic or just had the idea and mentally stashed it away for when I needed it. Like you do. (Editor’s note: It was the latter.)

Your Spidey ‘67 Villain of the day: Mysterio! - Actual Mysterio, not that weirdo Bakshi drew. - Although he is a different weirdo out of costume. - Frames Spider-Man a BUNCH. - Defeated by a tape recorder, a gas mask, three punches to the dome, and a banister-slide kick.

A fairly accurate cartoon Mysterio, standing in a drab backstage room with a phone on the wall and one fist in the air.

Also Mysterio, but out of costume he’s a greenish-brown dude in a bowl cut and pointy ears wearing a head to toe orange jumpsuit.

The thing I remember most about RNG Vault 921 (4/17/26, CassandraNova gotchapic) is how tough it was to find a good picture of a chiropractor’s office to use as a bg.. This needed a lot of odd positioning/cropping to work, and this was the best one I could find. #toyphotography #actionfigures

In a chiropractor’s office with a “NOVA CHIROPRACTIC” sine partially visible on the back wall, a man (MCU Ned Leeds body) lies face down on a chiropractic ved, while Cassandra Nova (Marvel Legends Deadpool and Wolverine) crouches next to the bed, shoving her fingers in and through and out the other side of his head.

Which is 100% accurate the name of the project that’s bringing the light rail to our area. We did not TELL HIM our area. He was that up on transit. Nothing but respect for that nerd brain.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

#1 memorable trip moment. Boston walking tour. Guide instantly outs himself as a huge transit nerd and praises the light rail when he learns we’re from Minneapolis. Like 20 mins later we mention we’re looking forward to it opening up in our suburb and dude comes out with “GO SOUthWEST EXTENSION!”

Your Spidey ‘67 Villain of the Day: Electro, The Human Lightning Bolt*! - Steals shit. - Zaps shit. - Frames Spidey for all the zapping and stealing. - Gets beaten by a special web formula which is a thing that happens in most of the first 20 episodes. *according to the title

Electro, in his weird plain green top and lightning bolt pants outfit from the cartoon, stands outside a jewelry store with his sack in his hand.

Thanks! I can’t put my finger on why but they all look… appealing. There’s something about them that pulls me in even if I don’t know the character/look where a McFarlane would push me away. Like that speedster. No idea who it is but it’s compelling.

RNG Vault 960 (6/9/26) is ACTION PRESTON! All he got to do in the movies was get blowed up and then have Scotty be weirdly sad about it ‘cause they cut the stuff about him being Scotty’s nephew. From the long-delayed Nacelle Trek Wave 1. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Peter Preston (Nacelle Star Trek), the young engineer from Star Trek 2 who eats it bad during the first Khan attack and also was or wasn’t Scotty’s nephew runs down a Next Generation hallway away from a giant explosion, swinging a laser sword (not included with figure) in his right hand and firing a phaser (included with figure) back into the explosion with his left.

Oh, absolutely. I’m definitely gonna roster-build with these in a way I was constantly tempted to with Multiverse and almost always disappointed in. But man do I need me a 52 Toys level Bats, Supes, and WW.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah. I’m glad it’s a double ball torso and I love how much the hips go back and out you look at that crouch pose and the slight hitch in hips forward, slight hitch in chest, and moderate limitation in the neck add up. Very good (assuming $30) but not quite what I need for a definitive Big 3.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I’m not expecting more than the Hasbro Median out of these. And the Hasbro Median isn’t bad, mind you. But it can occasionally disappoint.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

What I’ll say, as rampant speculation looking at the pictures, is that the Mattel DC figs seem to have all the joints in the right places. BUT. There’s a difference between “having a point of articulation” and “doing the work needed to ensure that joint has the maximum range of motion”.

Your Spidey ‘67 Villain of the Day: Lizard! - Lives in a swamp with his very tolerant family. - Not trying to regrow an arm, just really into lizards. - Causes generic mayhem in lizard form. - Gets webbed up and antidoted. - The Daily Bugle has the budget to fly Peter Parker to Florida.

The Lizard, filling the frame, scowling, his dumb face all squished up.

I’m pretty sure than RNG Vault 723 (10/3/25) is from when I got the evil magic accessory pack for Legions. Sorta Serious Fantasy Fight is my third favorite style of pic to do after Hilarious Goofemup and Dear God Why Did You Do That. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Mythic Legions Sammy Spellguy, wearing Evil Wizard Lady's purple and black cloak, hovers on a pair of red magic mandalas in a forest, using a staff to zap the ever-loving shit out of Gideon Heavensbrand, who's about ten feet in the air, crackling with purple lightning, all his stuff lying on the ground beneath him.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

No idea. I have a theory that the Bakshi ones did it because Bakshi was way more interested in drawing mushrooms and goblins and fantasy shit than comic villains but in the first 20 I just think it was laziness / “kids’ll watch anything”.

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The fact that somehow, Mattel has only shipped 40% of the Saja Boys to BBTS by the first week of October is oddly concerning. WTF am I gonna do with just Jinu and Abby? Make them lose to the OUtrunners?

Just me, out here, using an old shitty wi-fi “security camera to watch the gradual demolition of my living room wrought by three increasingly bored cats. OK mostly it’s just the play tunnel and play box we left for them changing position every couple of hours, but still…

Oldnerd @youaredumb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Your spidey ‘67 Villain of the Day: Icy McMonster! - Freezes a whole bunch of shit. - Tries to kidnap a scientist, eventually succeeds. - Turns out he’s the agent of a ship full of Plutonians who need the scientist to help them fix their ship but felt “asking” was rude or something.

RNG Vault 96 (2/18/23) is… a sign of growth! That’s the ticket! Those giant round wadges of green background removal failure under Deadman’s arms that I haven’t noticed (because I haven’t looked) for three and a half years? That’s GROWTH. As an ARTIST. Ha. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Your Sppidey ‘67 Villain of the Day: Dr. Octopus! - Done with the Bakshis, looping around to the beginning. - Captures Spidey four times in 15 minutes. - Wants to blow up chunks of NYC from his cave in the desert outside NYC. - Defeated by the ol’ webs to the eyes.

Doctor Octopus in his lab cave, mostly on model, albeit with a very drab, monocrhome dark purple jumpsuit.

RNG Vault 160 (6/5/23) is my first turn down a dark path. It wouldn’t be my last. The Goldar that was easy to get when I started MMPR-LC had no wings. The very first toy pic I did was ABOUT this. I chose to track down a second Goldar just to have one with wings. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Goldar (MMPR Lightning Collection ‘Gamestop Exclusive) stands on Rita’s balcony, exclusive wings outspread, holding his sword in his right hand crackling with purple energy.
