general toy news
1) i'm glad i joined the Central Ohio Transformers yahoo group. for the news of Quickmix alone.
2) i paid for the toy show tables today.
3) mr b is a toy god, btw. long may he be praised. he managed to get 2 (yes 2!) of the lego batman and joker SDCC exclusives with sound-chip. TWO! insane. they are from a run of only 250! (they are totally "bitchin" as the kids say) he also managed to get 2 (yes, two) of the nemesis primes, at least 3 of the Grundys and Evil-Lyn, and Hellboy with Japanese heads, and tons of other exclusives. This is why I both simultaneously love and hate the man. I love him because he brings the toys, but I hate him because he gets the toys. But the love wins out. And for his hard work, I will help him move.
4) did you know the female figures from JLU are now coming with pegged feet and stands? amazing. I'll bet they still fall over.
5) I am *this* close to buying another Grundy just to have one completely sealed. and of course one to play amongst the others, free from the confines of his vibrating sewer.
6) btw, the variant grundy sucks ass -- i dont care about the soft-goods clothing with sewer slime. he looks better with the vinyl like the other figures. I will try to get a good photo once mr. b gets moved.
7) "the batman" selina kyle will be mine. x 2.
8) Mr B saw the pile o figures in the dining room and queried "cleaning out the basement?" -- I laughed and said "hasn't made it to the basement." I believe his response was "holy sh!t," but then i explained the basement was dusty, dirty and filled with mortar.
