This category is for my bad photos, ramblings about toys I plan to buy, toys I’ve bought and toys I cannot afford.
Here’s the featured load of toys for the Thrash Out gallery show. They all look ridiculously awesome but I really want the fancy hair earth restroyer as I would consider my self an earth restroyer completest. I don’t collect a lot Bwana’s figures but I can’t say no to my favorite Hedorah sculpts. My insides weep. The other figures are also cool.
As I figured a picture of the awesome full size Globby has surfaced! This guy will be available at Tentacles, Horns, and Scales at Apr. 19th Thrash Out in Tokyo. Yet another cool ass figure I will not be getting 
I suppose I will have to be happy with my minis.
Now to speak of things I actually can acquire. Today after consulting with a client in Coronado I decided to head to the liquor store a few stores down looking for a bourbon bottle I’ve yet to find here in Dago Town. They indeed had the bottle of Pappy Van Winkles 20 year Bourbon, I was ready to drop $70 on it but it was a cool $99.99, since I’m a cheap bastard I decided I should go with the Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year old that was only $44.95.
I raced home to have a pour and my lord was it tasty. This the type of whiskey you break out for your grand dad who drinks so he can say “Damn boy that is some good bourbon!” The flavor was subtle but present, not just some warm burning sensation. At first I tasted a somewhat moldy flavor (?) but it soon morphed into a sweet almost fruity taste that was very subtle.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been drinking the poop spectrum of bourbon’s lately or what but it is so good. I swore by the old Woodford but I don’t know anymore. I also bought a bottle of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey upon a recommendation from Dr. Burrito himself and I soon realized why he is Dr.Burrito and not Dr. Bourbon. I can only describe it as the flavor of a liquid penny. It is now the whiskey my old lady can mix with her cola 
This post started sad and ended happily, I will now retire to some foods and more sips of the sauce.
Sweet, sweet toys of Garga!!! These guys are looking incredible. These aren’t only a new size but are amazing new characters in their already stellar arsenal of goodness. I love Gargamel especially since they’re one of the only companies out there to not overload buyers with a million played out releases in a short span of time and just burn out their own hype.
The first figure is by Martin Ontiveros, Ojo Rojo. This is the full color version of this figure and it is pretty nuts. The figure is based on one of his paintings. I only own a clear green mini of this figure but hope to score one if they’re available to the general public (pleeeeeeease) the first color way of this figure was an all clear version and it was available at it’s debut in Portland. I didn’t score at all.
Next is Koji’s new sculpt, Tokoji Seijin. This guy is a great play on Kapa with an added Gargamel zing. I am also hoping I will be able to grope this sculpt with my drunken mits in the near future. I also cannot wait to see what it looks like in color (or in person).
To complete the madness I have been reading around about a full size globby by Bwana Spoon which would be totally awesome to own as the three would look really good on my toy shelf. I only saw a teaser pic of it, but it was enough to spark the desire. No pics to show yet but I’m sure something will surface soon.
I’m off to get drunk and pick up my mom from the airport, maybe even in that order!!! Kidding, drink responsibly folks
With all this talk of whiskey one would think the toy collecting came to a halt. Well I have been on the prowl, lurking on the skullbrain BST section till something is as cheap as it will ever be and then strike like a praying mantis. This has been happening a lot lately. So it has been slow but well worth the wait.
I just placed an order for these from Kaiju Taro. These are off the hook on some of that old Cyborg/Walder shizz. I have never really been a 12″ suit guy but I am a sucker for anything clear with guts. Charactics has plenty of goods in store for wonderfest so don’t sleep.
So far this year all toys I’ve purchased have been Secret Base. The Usugrow full color was ill, and these two are also. The Skull Captain has really rad colors and looks really good next to my It Came From The Sea and Anniversary Skull Pirates.
Le Skull Captain is gangsterific with his hat, nub arm and rum bottle.
Space Patrol Barbarian is not so gangsta but I’m a sucker for the Space Barbarian (my favorite Secret Base platform, he looks like the creature with his helmet off).
