Thursday Mail Call!

Finally got 1 of the 2 "Steel Monsters" figures I wanted!

That's a pretty cool vintage figure. Which is the other one you want? And...do you ahve any of the vehicles from that line?

This is the other one I want.

I have no interest in the vehicles as they are oversized and too earthlike for my needs.

The 2 figures I wanted look like villain henchmen from old sci-fi shows like "Buck Rogers".

I got my Neca An American Werewolf in London Kessler wolf today. I love it! The sculpt is great! He has two different heads, open and closed mouth, that looks exactly like the wolf in the movie. The paint apps are great, variations of grey and brown fur. The articulation is great. The range of motion is not that great and the joints are stiff, but it's still good.

I bought this to have a monster for my endor projects. I had some Schleich statues that look more like a Boar-wolf, but they weren't very intimidating. This thing, is scary, and it's 7 inch scale so it's also huge compared to 3.75 figures. I'm happy with it.

He's certainly a ferocious looking beastie for someone to fight! Looks great for the Ewoks to fight against - the stuff of their nightmares - and no slouch for taking out biker scouts either.

I like the Ewok movies and cartoons, they showed how hard life on Endor is.  Everything wants to eat you there.  If they made PG-13 or R rated Ewok movies, I imagine the boar-wolf would look more like this.

After work Dollar Tree haul!

The first 3 images are mine and the 4th is stuff I picked up for a friend who cannot find these in his area.

This haul brings me current on the "Final Faction" releases to date.

Today's surprise Target score!

I thought that this wasn't supposed to be released until the summer, but I found a single one sitting on a stock cart this afternoon!

They also had the small electronic roaring assortment, which has 1 new species in it (Skorpiovenator), but I got street dated (4/17) on it so I had to put it back.

Luckily, this one wasn't street dated :)

I got just about everything I wanted from the 2022 "Jurassic World: Dominion" line in 1 shot!

The "Godzilla: Singular Point" vinyl figure only cost me $1.40 after redeeming my Target points :)

The "bugs" finally showed up at my local Dollar Tree. Thanks for the heads up. I think they will work for Star Wars. They will also work as big bugs for my son's mini RPG's. And all for really cheap.

You are very welcome!

I always share info on any upcoming/just released items that I think my fellow customizers and collectors will enjoy :)

There are no hybrids in the new movie, just actual dinosaur species.

So they are releasing hybrids even though they never showed up in the movies?

I guess that shouldn't surprise me.

What hybrid toys are you referring to?

Picked up these acrylic push pins on a whim while shopping for my mother at Five Below.

They certainly have some customizing potential.
