The Grand Finale! Oscar’s Can Area. I’m not sure of that’s the official name of that section of the street but it will have to do. Palisades wasn’t happy with the overly colourful version of the early prototype seen at Toyfair so they got Eddie Wires to paint it up a little more realistically. It’s amazing what a new coat of paint can do.

So that is all for my sob story of lost potential. Hopefully one day I’ll get over it, but for now I’ll just try and look to the future. It is Toy Fair from February 12th - 15th after all! My prediction is that I’ll be posting a lot about G.I. Joe and Masters of the Universe Classics in the next couple weeks.

The Canadian resin toy crew ( #toyronto ) is having a show in Philly @mothershipartgallery ! It's an impressive group of artists including most of the line up from last years Action Statue and several new additions. It's curated by @labmonkeynumber9 and @trashbury Have a great show dudes and dudettes! @greatbeard_sculptures @modulicious @miawcomic @rawzzzy @liege_toys @squiggly_mcpickins @darth_salesman @blughost_productions @toxicfumestoys @naomiknaff @theangrybeast @ericclementart

Check out Zombie Lab on Kickstarter. It's in it's last 12 hours. It's a 1:18 scale (4") action figure line of Survivors vs. Zombies. The sculpts are all by Boss Fight Studios and are compatible with their HACKS line of figures. http://kck.st/2wZicj5 (I will put this link in my profile as well) The project is spearheaded by Andy Wu, Boss Fight's chinese factory liason and distrubutor. He also has experience working for Mattel and Hasbro. The project is in good hands. The campaign is fully funded but has a few more stretch goals to hit. The "All In" option is an incredible value at this point. I can't wait to get my horde and pit them against my Joes. It will also be nice to finally have some civilians in this scale.

My birthday present from @tarakrebsart back in April. The Boglins pin I was coveting from @cavitycolors comes in a tiny reproduction of the original toy box. The (incredibly comfortable) undies and socks from @sockittomeinc came in a delightfully personalized package complete with a sketch and a retro Mr. T card!

Tony is having a little misunderstanding with my new Synthetic Humanoid by @1000toys.

I got this for @tarakrebsart for her birthday a couple years ago. She kept recognizing the Princess of Power characters that I was getting through MOTUC, and we tracked it down to one of these old Colorforms Vinyl Play Sets. I found one still sealed from 1985. It is in perfect condition. #colorforms #princessofpower #shera #mastersoftheuniverse #pop #motu #vintagetoys

The MOTU library is growing! At this point it seems like Dark Horse has covered almost everything. I think one book based solely on documenting all the toys (in order of release) would finish off the set. #motu #motuc #mastersoftheuniverse
