I don't know how I missed this? Getting old I guess. Great product if you ask me. A little pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

It seems to work great.

Ive been playing with it for a week now, and I think it's great. It is expensive, and there are somewhat cheaper alternatives. Yes you do get what you pay for. You could get a normal fog machine, which is cumbersome and too big for toy photography. They also have canned smokes called Atmosphere Aerosol, which gives you a light mist as opposed to a heavy smoke or fog. It works, it just depends what you want to do, and how much you want to spend. I think in the long run i made the right decision. The Aerosol Atmosphere is expensive for what it is at $12 a can, and they aren't easy to find.

Today's "Clearance Mania!" scores from Sam's Club (dragons 'n dinos) and Michael's (bones).

The dragon/dinosaur sets were marked down to $9.81 from $14 99.

The bone sets were $1.20 down from $5.99!

The 2 cat skeletons have cartoony skulls, but the bodies will be useful. The goat skull is pretty close to a dragon skull, only needing some slight mods.

Nice finds, Dan! I'll go out hunting for some post-Christmas deals as well.
But first I bought a JW collection from a friend of mine. He had this on ebay for 600€ and sold it to me for 500€.

My final 2021 purchase!

I am not into Pops!, but this is a cool, gooey monster that doesn't suffer from the usual Funko lack of details and bad proportions. A repaint and some added bits will turn this into an awesome monster for my menagerie

Thursday Mail Call!

My long delayed Gamestop order FINALLY arrived!

Today's Walmart haul!

FINALLY found the final 2021 wave from this line. I usually pass on the redecos, but the Mononykus is a feathered dinosaur so it gets bought.

Today's Target ("Fortnite" and "The Batman") and Dollar Tree ("Barbie") pick ups!

The "Barbie" backpacks are just about perfect for 3.75"/4" figures, both male and female as pictured. They just need to be repainted. The accessories are hit or miss, but the books are welcome diorama fodder.

This morning's Target score!

The "Jurassic World" set was 50% off

After work Target score!

I grabbed a second Selina Kyle as I wanted another of her knife and whip. A bonus is that this one has much better legs than the one I bought earlier in the week.

I forgot to post this earlier tonight.

I grabbed one of the shorter dome tonight at Dollar Tree. You can see it is shorter than the ones I got last year and the base is different. These shorter ones are superior in that the domes actually lock into the bases instead of relying on friction to keep them in place.

I may go back and grab a few more tomorrow after work.

After work Dollar Tree score!

You have to love cheap diorama accessories

After work Walmart score!

If you want this figure, check them VERY carefully before buying. There were 4 on the shelf and all have some kind of defect(s). I bought the best of the 4 and will correct the minor paint flaw on it. The others had SEVERE flaws (warped/melted plastic secondaries, misassembled limbs, missing paint on eyes/teeth, etc.).

That doesn't sound good. I guess they have lowered their quality control?
