Today in "holy crap look what I found buried in the canyon!"

The most important thing you need to know is that, by my watch, the fireworks began after midnight There were no fireworks in Washington DC for our 250th Independence Day

Happy to say that Clover and Possum are doing better. Nova we are keeping an eye on and will do another blood test on Monday. I have incurred $15,974 in vet bills and I’m not sure the reality of this has hit me yet. Any help is hugely appreciated. gofund.me/75f3d0379

More Destro and the Despoilers.

Tell you what I've been listening to while I work, and I find it VERY easy and agreeable company: 'Toy Geeks' podcast, hosted by @danlarson.bsky.social and @geekdadlife.bsky.social. They go through vintage toylines year-by-year, just chatting about the products and their context. Lovely bitta biz.

Episode 3 is up: youtu.be/yt5wap7u050?...

He cuts a dashing figure but man, I do not care for those curled boots. Worse than toe articulation.

A couple of your friend @cloverjag.bsky.social ‘s cats that you love have gone and had some scary extended vet stays and the cost has gotten insane so please share to help out. It’s like an admission fee for looking at their little faces. gofund.me/bafb9a3ea

Big Bag Workshop/Fresh Monkey Fiction Monster Force Red Demon is really nice.

We are ready to clean up your mess.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

Hope you don't mind, Dan, but I couldn't help myself, slipshod quickie sketch though it is

Finally. 2 of my absolute favorites. Hydro Viper and Airtight. Been on my want list since the line began.

Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series 6" Night Force Psych-Out, Walmart Collector Con exclusive preorder in July.

Just installed my Ramen Toys CAG. 2.0 set. It allows you to replace the cockpit and seats in the McFarlane 89 Batmobile so you have a more accurate dashboard and TWO seats.

This episode of ToyGeeks with @danlarson.bsky.social @geekdadlife.bsky.social & @ryandoell31.bsky.social was one of my favorites to research. Super Powers is why I read & collect comics & gave me a Wonder Woman figure that 42 years later still hasn't been bested. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSYr...

Things I find looking through my old file cabinet full of drawings. Yes this predates Minions. No... that's his stick. He's a corn dog. Captain Corn Dog is ™ and © 2008 Dan Larson.

I just unfollowed a channel I've been watching since pandemic. They had their own unique branding, style, personality... now all their thumbnails are just brown slop. Nice job, guys!

This week's video is up early and ad free for all $2 and up Patrons. Neat.

Why does the administration not simply use AI to fix the Reflecting Pool?

So, I think it’s been long enough that I can get away with telling the story of Arc Trooper Blitz. He was in the concept art for that Kamino episode, but IIRC, didn’t make the final cut, and didn’t end up being named. Marketing had tasked design with spending an inordinate amount of time 1/

The June Members Only video is live for all channel members and Patrons youtu.be/geMLtmmCZYQ

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

I have acquired the Triple Ghost Halloween blow mold from the 1990s. Today was good.

You just might get that MOTU sequel after all. www.forbes.com/sites/caroli...

Welp. Here's your new MOTU cartoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-WG...

Looking forward to watching this. My introduction to Secret Galaxy was about the Fensler Films G.I. Joe PSAs, which, if memory serves, was the inspiration for Fabulous Secret Powers. I always encourage folks to throw some money at their Patreon to get these members only vids.

My new Star Wars RPG character.

Marvel Select is still my favorite Colossus. There are plenty of panels that have this scale for these characters.

As I understand it, this is not Resolute Duke [Pic 1]. This is not Energon Duke [Pic 2]. It's just a new design for Duke that's a bit more "rugged" than previous Classified Dukes.

Had a great conversation with @danlarson.bsky.social about the recent struggles of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and STAR WARS at the box office and the potential end of the blockbuster as we've known it for the past several years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW73...

With both THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE struggling at the box office @djtalkstrash.bsky.social is joined by @danlarson.bsky.social to discuss what it means when even a new STAR WARS isn't appointment viewing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW73...

Rugged Duke render reveal that was omitted from the stream today.

GI Joe Classified Falcon, Cobra Valkyrie, and Flash name only reveals.

GI Joe Classified Series Iceberg, Toxo Viper, Mistress Armada, new Cobra character Synapse … Duke was named but they didn’t show him?

Lotta coyote experts out there. You guys should start a podcast.

@geekdadlife.bsky.social and I are joined by Griffin Newman of @blankcheck.bsky.social for our third and final episode on Masters of the Universe 200X. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHTG...

💥💥💥💥 Fanstream update for tomorrow! Excited to hear the name only’s and see the renders!!

Vic made the custom Action Man I was referring to in the interview with Lenny, Tony, Cory (and Chris). And I totally meant to name-check directly but it was one of those moments where you just blank on a name.

Folks... I need to draw.

🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️ Massive thank you to @secretgalaxy.bsky.social for having us on the show earlier in the week! Hear all about life at Boss Fight Studio from the newest members of the team, what they’re working on and much more… Check it out here: www.youtube.com/live/QBjyacv...

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’s Clawful fanart work in progress. For the Tri-Klops I recently did and this one, I colored looser to try and make them look like concept art.

I'm sure you've heard this one. youtu.be/lxY5O2RVjkw?...

Hungry, hungry guillotine

I can't believe I have to say this but I don't think anyone should be able to be a billionaire OR trillionaire.
