Picked up some awesome diorama fodder at Target after work!



Creatures were $6 each and hands were $2 each.

Can't wait to see what you do with that stuff. You have so many skeletons I could so see you doing some type of dungeon acid dio of some sort.

The skulls and skeletal bits will be used as components in dioramas similar to my Skull Mound from earlier this year. I have many, many more dioramas planned before I die ;)

Diorama fodder from Walmart!



The bat skeleton was $3.98 and the GITD aquarium pebbles were $3.22 each.

The pebbles will be used as eggs in future dioramas.

Scored these awesome cauldron/cooking pots at Halloween World. They were $4.99 for a 12pk.



They are far better than the ones that were out years ago as they feature sculpted textures across the entire exterior and a deeper lip at the top (inside of lip still needs to be filled in with clay/putty/resin for a more solid appearance) where the older ones were smooth and had shallow lips at the top.

With a 3.75" figure for scale:


I will have some extras available for trade as I do not need all 12.

Out of sheer luck, I came across these Shaun of the Dead figures on ebay. I grabbed them for just over $20. Shaun of the Dead is my favorite film and these figures are great. Shaun comes with a cricket bat, alternate had with flowers, and a display base (not shown). Ed comes with just a shovel. Shaun is a single pack, whereas Ed is from the Winchester 2-pack. In that 2-pack, Shaun is more bloody and has his tie around his head (covering a wound). It was great to get the figures in their main outfits.

Also grabbed 2 Inspector Gadget figures, dated 2005. I never saw these here, I see them pop up from time to time on ebay in France. They're pretty cool basic figures. The left is just a standard figure, while the one on the right, his arms extend. There's a few more I've seen that I would like to get.

Stopped into the Javits Center on my way to the Hasbro "'Twas The Night Before..." event in Manhattan and picked up my Press pass for NYCC!



I also got all of these in my Hasbro goodie bag from the event:


The girls toys will be going to my niece.

The Star Wars thing on the bottom is just a postcard. I snagged 2 more from the entrance table. I will send you one the next time I send you a package.

The goodie bag had a decent amount of stuff in it but sadly nothing I collect.

I picked up this awesome Cthulhu themed Yahtzee set while cruising the NYCC showroom floor.
I do not play games, but the Cthulhu statue is beautifully sculpted and it was only $25.





This thing is AWESOME!









Custom 3.75" Cthulhu Cultist for scale.




I also got some much needed customizing fodder parts from the always awesome sgcaper of www.joecustoms.com today! Thanks again.

I got a package of vintage "Visionaries" accessories (and one "Battle Beasts" weapon- I think) in the mail today!



The gold axe's upper hose needs to be replaced as it is a bit chewed up, but it is still an awesome accessory to have.

I would love to get more "Visionaries" staffs, even missing the hologram like this one, as they are just cool pieces for dioramas.

The rest of my 2016 NYCC purchases:

NECA 24" 2014 Godzilla



"Mortal Kombat" Kotal Khan and "Game Of Thrones" White Walker action figures (will be large trolls in my display)


With 3.75" figure for scale:





Tiny creature game pieces from "Monsterocalypse". I will remove the bases and use them in dioramas.



Cthulhu vinyl bank from Diamond Select Toys.

I will be repainting this completely as the factory paint is terrible.
