Another month down, and another list of top reviews at battlegrip.com. This time around there's really not all that much variety in the top spots, and only one of the toys is a mass market release. What an odd month October was. Let's dive into November, guys, and prepare for the upcoming fun of the holidays.

Only four points of articulation, but my crazy bootleg action figure design is coming together. Casting and assembly is finished and now it's time for paint. I've built six of these and before even finishing the work all of the pieces are spoken for.

I love taking photos of toys. Especially photos of toys in water.

Wow. It's not as tall as I expected, but it's neater than I had hoped. I want more of these, but they're so expensive . . .

What is he? Photos and info here.

Another month down, another month of toy news, noise, and reviews at battlegrip.com. It was a busy site at the month, with reviews of designer toys, crazy resin bootleg pieces, a cheap knockoff, and a ton of bad X-Men toys.

May 1st is when the new Secret Cinnamon Squad figure is going to be released. Limited to a run of 14, these will probably sell out faster than Argus 3000 did. I'm gonna skip Moakie, because he's just not quite as cool as Argus 3000 and the only way he would look cool is if I had an army of them. And at $25/each -- and a run of 14 -- this isn't ( Read more... )

I relaxed. A nice, long walk for lunch. A bike ride this afternoon. And a shot at experimenting with some scrap lumber that we had in the garage.

I wanna steal some time today to go outside and look at Vegas. I want to visit a designer (or vintage) toy store, but I'm not having a lot of luck with online searches. I'd also like to hit up a good game store.

And, to make matters worse, I wanna walk there from Bally's. So anything within 3-miles of Bally's is fair game for a short hike.

Help!

Bootleg, short-run, hand-cast/painted resin toys. It's something I've known about for a few years now, but not anything I've ever looked at closely. Obviously, the Sucklord's work is the first thing that comes to mind (at least, if you even know about this art scene) when someone mentions bootleg resin. It's very strange, priced as art objects, and ( Read more... )
