Ya gotta love an ebay win that was only $8 for a complete 30 year old toy with box and instructions!
Sure... it isn't quite like this mint rare find but $8 vs $75? I can handle $8.
My Micronauts collections grows... alas... still with no Biotron.

So as you know, Mr. Giga, former action figure collector, has been busily working on our online store.
It is totally separate from my Crack Affiliated websites, but will be a place for both he and I to sell off our collections... or at least a decent chunk of them.
Now I know this may piss some of you off, especially those who I've promised (literally for over 20 months or more now) that a good chunk of my toys will be sold... but Giga's shit is in a more orderly catalogued state to be sold first so once I post the link to the store site, his stuff will likely be up first.
I've gotten a ton of basic photos done today for 3 bins of figures.
Since I know many of my readers are cross-brand crack addicts, there will no doubt be many of you interested in some of this non-TF stuff.
Out of the recent bins I've had the obscene pleasure of photographing such Mint-On-Card figures as...
JLA Satellite Era Ralph Dinby with Creepy and Odd Sexually Suggestive Elongated Neck!
And then... well... there's quite possibly the greatest accessory to a figure ever this side of a rubber duck for Beast Megatron...
Earth-3 Alexander Luthor with 80s Mullet Accessory!
Yes!
Mullet Accessory!!!!
Take that Classics Ultra Magnus armor!
You think you are all that?
Alex Luthor's mullet has so got you beat!!!
Now it is obvious I have a certain love-hate relationship with transforming robots, all of that interest pales in comparison to my true love of Frank Herbert's Dune, God-Emperor of Dune, and the other 4 novels.
Yes. Here at The 'Crack, those fan fiction novels that have been produced over the past years by certain low-talented writers under the Dune banner do not even exist in their own little bubble continuity. They are kindling and that's about it.
Anyway, I've never had any wish for ancillary crap about Dune at all. In fact, I've never purchased any of the (crappy) 80s movie toys even. And that's a good thing.
However, while catching up on my reading at Toybender today I came across this awesome little Lego Dune creation!
I love the Fremen with their thumper, stillsuits, and chrysknife!
I'm wondering what I'd have to do... and the cost associated with it... to buy enough of the right Lego sets to make me a full-on Leto the God-Emperor surrounded by a 20-30 Fish Speakers!
Or Darwi Odrade leading the Bene Gesserit against the Honored Matres... all in Lego plastic goodness.
Hmmmm...
Kelmeister sent me this great link to Amazon.com's customer reviews of the Playmobil Security Checkpoint toy set.
I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.I love when geeks bomb open review submissions like this.
I've been really trying to avoid opening any toys until the new room is remodeled and shelves are bought but Revoltech Black Getter has been sitting here staring at me out of his box for weeks now.
And let me just say... he is fantastic!
I love the revolver and pistol accessories.
The cape's great too.
Now personally, I think minimates are some of the ugliest shit ever popped out of a mold.
But that's just me.
However, with that said...
I HAVE TO HAVE THIS MINIMATES MUFFIT!!!
And yes, the lack of Boxey does not go unnoticed!
First I'd buy the ROM statue and now I'd buy this Jesus on a Motorcycle statue.
Me buying statues?!?!
It is the pocksiclips!!!
