I think the worst part about tonight’s events is that every single journalist at that stupid fucking dinner can now say, completely literally, “I did not have that on my 2026 bingo card!”

Speaking of worst timelines, Hook’s been having a rough one since they took away the Action Bronson. Just a series of halting missteps and resets.

RNG Vault 750/930 features the standout from the most recent X-Men ‘97 wave, Jubilee’s effects hands! Which are attached to a pretty good Jubilee. And also i got Sunspot although in retrospect (pic from 10/26/25) I’m not 100% sure why. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Congratulations to the WHCA for creating the single most apt use of a sarcastic “Yeah, THAT oughta do it.” in human history.

You can’t spell “gotta dig fart out of the bin” without “gotta dig FTR out of the bin”….

FIG PIC: “Lobster”. So, the good news is I’m done with Verse 1! The bad news is her left wrist broke when I was swapping hands for the next pic. Partner has a repair plan but it’s disappointing. I guess the wrists on Mezcos are a common fail point? #toyphotography #actionfiguresAnyay

Just realized the insane pace of unlocks early on in Vampire Crawlers (and Survivor before it) is basically lovebombing but I’ve decided I’m OK with it because it treats me nice.

If you like eating it, more power to you, but I can’t stand scrapple. It’s just a worse version of scooble.

Every AI article is just “I use prompts to abdicate my personal and professional responsibilities and no, I’m not going to tell you what I’m doing with all the time I save! Aren’t I clever?!”

I don’t care much about the WWE releases mainly because all I want to do is make a reversed MAIAKAI version of @tjeremy.com ‘s COME HOME DEEN running gag but it’s late and I can’t crack it.

In any art endeavor, attention to detail is important. I probably still haven’t learned that, but at least I’m not missing gaping holes in Spidey’s midsection left by the cutout function like I did on 12/30/22. RNG Vault 52/929, gotchapic for retro Scorpion. #toyphotography #actionfigures

It’s not traditional (and I’m sure it’s not original) but if you toast corn tortillas for tacos at home, getting some shredded chihuahua cheese and melting it on the inside after the first flip is a hell of a thing. (If you double tortilla, you can melt the cheese in the middle.)

Hey @tjeremy.com quick question - is this the Starting Lineup hoop?

I should be on an anti-anti—AI blocklist just for the number of times I’ve looked up software someone cites in their toy pic post, find out it’s an AI generator tool, and blocked them.

Ok I kinda want to make my hobby political and ship my next Pile of Loot so it gets here just before May Day.

One lunch break later and Vampire Crawlers is absolutely my GOTY. Yes, I know it’s April. But whoever thought “let’s adapt Vampire Survivors into Eye of the Beholder only it’s also a deckbuilder” looked deep into my soul, saw every single weakness, and used that to fuel their design.

FIG PIC: “Damn” Tangerine Saga 3/10. I’m honestly amazed that I could pull off the “pulling the shades down to get a better look” pose I very much wanted. First appearance of one of her many, many weapons - the gold katana in the white sheath. #toyphotography #actionfigures

It’s not that I -can- still be excited about lumps of sculpted plastic while the president is slumped over unconscious mid-meeting in the middle of a catastrophic, misguided war… It’s more that I need to be.

TUXMONKEY! Kinda hard to believe, but the very first BigBadWorkshop figure I was interested in, who at the time I thought would be the -only- Fresh Monkey Fiction / Monster Force etc. fig I would ever care about, is here* *in a pile in Wisconsin** **along with Snake-Fightin’ Shatner, it seems.

OK, you can all buy your Koi Boi Toi now.

No need to get into -why- Murder She Wrote reruns are frequently on in the house, but I’ll say this. The best ones are the ones that are just rife with accents. Authentic ones mixed with the valiant but deeply flawed attempts of the bit players of the 80’s and 90’s. THE MORE THE BETTER.

There’s a banking commercial on Old Man Cable that calls a pneumatic tube a ‘vacuum tube” and it fills me with a frankly alarming level of incandescent rage.

My absolute favorite Game Pass game is “speculatively downloading new additions and seeing if, two months later, I’ve ever launched them.”

Y’all can’t even imagine how hard I had to work to figure out if this was a gotchapic for Groot or Chainsaw Man. It’s Chainsaw Man. I’d later get a better one (the Jazwares) but the US Bandai one isn’t awful. Just worse wlbows. RNG Vault 243/926, 12/17/23 #toyphotography #actionfigures

FIG PIC: “Velvet Dashboards” The Tangerine Saga continues! Each of the pics so far has one small thing I’m especially proud of. Yesterday it was the reflections on the car. Here it was turning the dashboard into velvet. Dunno what Bsky is gonna do to it though. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Flashback to… six weeks ago. We’re all looking for the guy responsible for this. RNG Vault 896/927 (3/8/26) is the triumphant completion of what I consider to be my personal list of Fortnite Weirdos, all shown here celebrating the final member of the team, Brat. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Lio Rush vs. Brody King #AEWDynamite

I feel like Im just the right distance from the Bluesky drama du jour now - able to enjoy it via snark inference and context clues without seeing it directly or, heaven forfend, being involved.

How It Started / How It’s Going. Four years ago today, Kimchi (kda, somehow, “Delphinia”) came home with us from her second foster after being neglected by her first foster. The second foster did his best but it was his first time fostering and Kimchi was… a lot.

We’ll make a deal, just between us. I’ll mention on here that if the pic in my e-mail is correct, Friday will be “You Can Buy Koi Boy” day at Fore Horsemen and we’ll all get excited about it and maybe chat a bit it and in return, you won’t buy the last one before me, OK? OK.

Not that I’d want that dingy-ass barely red costume made entirely of beard stubble Daredevil (no shade if you do) but I look at that new Jessica Jones fig and all my brain does is scream KNEEEEEEEEEEEES! I can’t see the rest of the figure. All I can see is those jean-hole knees.

GOT: Tangerine! I’ll go into detail in replies more pics bshort version: she’s always been at the top of my Want/Can’t/Shouldn’t list. #1 with a bunch of bullet effects. And now I have one. The Sifl and Olly song “Tangerine” has ten lines. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Pics are behaving again (I hope), I got my shots done for tonight, and I LOVE ME AN ARMS JOKE. RNG Vault 344/926 (4/10/24) is a bonus pic I made after getting this Goro and also the closest I’ve ever come to maybe tickling someone’s kink on accident. #toyphotography #actionfigures

So, who is it that hates pics and videos today? Iranian hackers or Claude Code?

FIG PIC: “Chonky Clankers” The quoted pics put the idea in my head last month, and since I was rattling around a bit this weekend and digging through bins for other reasons, I decided to knock it out quick. Just non-stop jet boots and rivets. #toyphotography #actionfigures

I know why it happens, but the most exhausting part of many of the Big Accounts is this sequence that frequently plays out. 1) People are yelling at me about it! 2) People are still yelling at me about it! 3) Remember last week when people were yelling at me about it? I still think it!

Oh, right, tiny-ass dumbbell wrist joints. AKA Bryansbane.

RNG Vault 559/925 is the kickoff from my rare practical project, the homage to the Street Fighter Red Tape sketches feat. Ryu. Hard to believe this was 8 months ago (8/3/25). Feels like I just finished these. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Having just been properly exposed to Nu Lio this week, this PERFECTLY captures what he’s got going on right now.

The -second- most important acquisition of April 20, 2026 has also occured. Think of it as MY “InfoWars”.

Oscillating between “Happy for everybody involved” and “man, news about The Onion shows up in my timeline about 30% more than I need it to” this afternoon, heh.

GOT: Blade! Also an excuse to bring out my weird old Toy Biz first movie Blade, who has no torso articulation beyond a waist swivel but somehow toe joints. Anyway, I solved the MCU problem - just rip off Looper! #toyphotography #actionfigures

It’s the pic that made me wanna research printed city street mats. I should figure out how to do that so I can put buildings on it and the ground won’t look like ass. RNG Vault #857/925, 1/23/26, shortly after someone came home with a Godzilla Leo and… influenced. #toyphotography #actionfigures

Fun how we’re doing war the same way we’ve done everything else for the past 14 months - wild, unverifiable, random pronouncements on a fringe social media platform secretly preceded by rounds of insider trading in both the stock market and internet political gambling networks. Very innovative.

Goddamn I went and found this and if it wasn’t fifty bucks plus tariffs to ship it I’d have bit right away.

GOT: MAXX 89! This is @serpymatt.bsky.social ‘s fault in that he took a gorgeous pic of this dude and he went on my When The Mood Strikes list. He’s great, and his leg articulation is way better than YT led me to believe. The pic is a logical chain of bad ideas. #toyphotography #actionfigures

There are 40 listings for the Jazwares Brandon Cutler on eBay right now, average price around $35. The only two things I can think of to explain this: 1) A run of knockoffs hit the States 2) I missed a news story about Cutler eating a baby live on TV.

Goddamn I’m so out of touch with the Fed I don’t even understand the snarky Mania subsckeets anymore, heh.

Ah, 2023 (March 11, 2023 to be precise), when the apocalypse was more of a whimsy thing than an “any day now maybe” thing. I got a horse so I did this with the horse. Now I have five horses for some reason. (The reason is poor impulse control.) RNG Vaut 106/924. #toyphotography #actionfigures

GOT: cassandra Nova! The fingers through the head accessory pushed this off the bubble for me. Can’t help it. It’s just too nifty and weird. Anyway, the poor guy is getting more of an adjustment than he bargained for. #toyphotography #actionfigures
