Thank you all so much for the kindness. I love this community.

SB dads, UNITE! Congratulations my friend!!!

Congrats! Your collection is finally complete!!! :)

This bootleg Grimlock? https://www.flickr.com/photos/85439436@N03/14155148731

@Roger Not quite as cool as THAT bootleg Grimlock, but still pretty rad!

Now that's a band name! Lol.

@The Moog Only followed closely by one of their heaviest songs, “From Womb to Waste”. Amazing band.

Pilot Ace. Gone too soon.

I have a Medicom re-release of Ymir. But, Part of me still sorta wishes I had the Pilot Ace version.

What other Pilot Ace toys do you think aren't getting enough love besides the Harryhausen stuff?

@SpectralNight The Pilot Ace Gigan is my personal favorite they made. It’s just straight perfection to my eyes, in regards to a toy, both playable and collectable. The Dynamite series of Goji, Hedorah and Rodman are pretty damn wonderful, too. But the Harryhausen is usually when people gravitate towards most.

Damn, you're right about the Gigan. That's got a great flow to it between the arms and the feet. I never slowed down to give that one a proper look.Maybe the BEST vinyl Gigan, in fact.

Yes, their '54 Godzilla is absolute one of the best out there IMO. Wish I had one.

@eleggua Yeah, I’ve already got some complications from anxiety and other issues for a little over half my life. Ha ha. I just separate photography subjects into piles and get to ‘em one portion at a time. The initial “looking at it all” is what gets to me sometimes. But I still love to do it, and especially share!

I get the same way...big pile of stuff that needs drawing/doing/etc. Best way is, like you said, divide and conquer. Smaller piles are always easier. If it's something you love, it's tough because it's fun and exciting but also draining.

@animator Fun and draining is completely apt. I think for me it’s the nuisance of setting everything up. I have particular lighting, angling, tripod position, etc. that if I don’t get it all done in one session I’ll be disinclined to tear down and set up again the next [few] day(s) to finish up. So I torture myself to complete the task!

Can't wait to see 'em!

@Patrickg2k 165 images of pure Slime!!!

Must admit they’re not all my cup of tea, but always enjoy seeing your photos.

Never be sorry for sharing awesome content ya doofus!

Don’t be sorry. This place needs all the activity it can get!

@Bob I lurk just about every thread here. I may only post in the same handful, but it’s just ‘cause they’re what I collect and know. But I still enjoy goin’ through threads and seein’ everyone geek out over the vast variety of toys. It’s just cool to know peeps are happy with what they’ve acquired.

Totally agree. Sold some toys recently to make some room, seeing friends excited to get said toys made me excited!! Very happy with the outcomes

@Grindingmachete Cool of you to go the way of moving the collection to friends first! I’m sure there were a lot of wants lists that shrunk just a bit because of your reaching out! Definitely a fun feeling to know you’ve made someone’s day, however that is!

what else can I tag so the big man deigns to sell me a $1000 dollie? You're right, of course!

@zindabad Might have to start rippin’ his Instagram posts and diggin’ into them Photoshop skills!

Hirota's judgement when it comes to other peoples I.P. is 'fluid' at best!

@Paulkaiju This guy was way before my time, but I’ve read plenty about him. Please tell me this is something he actually wrote.

hahah. No...the rap was me bringin' in the sick, and imagining this totally fictitious rapping collector. but he did say "Can't fade the Manimal". LOL. It was a whack time and people complain about now.

@Paulkaiju I was gonna say it was pretty legit for it being a Manimal rap. I almost gave that guy credit!!! That rap should be a header disclaimer.

Hippy!!

@The Moog Do I have to dread my hair and smoke doobies now?

You don’t have to explain yourself. This is a really difficult time for a lot of people. I’ve had to stop reading the news because my mental health started to decline noticeably. I just read headlines now to keep up.
Looking forward to seeing all those photos!

@hellointerloper Thank you, Maddie. It wasn’t so much that I’m explaining myself, as it was putting it out there in relation to me personally holding myself to “right place, right time”. I hope you’re finding any sort of solace and break from the world burning. Lots is happening and being worked on now!

Image dump 'em all simultaneously and see if it breaks Skulldrain once and for all! . . . I double-dare ya!

@Anti Social Andy Not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing for you, as I have no idea which side of the TWIM fence you sit. But I’m genuinely surprised! Thankfully, I’ll have a Suika Pumpkinhead Bomber by next Wednesday, so I’ll answer my own damn questions!

Always liked the TWIM stuff, just plenty of other stuff I liked more. Seems like it's slipped under everyone elses radar too.

I have the large size Trick or Treat TWIM Bomber Kid, if you still want to check on something. Just pulled it from the Halloween box.

Had the same thing happen to me a couple times on eBay. 1 very recently. I contacted seller, and he took it down w/o putting up a fight. He had just done a google search and pulled it right off this forum. I felt a bit weird confronting him, but it just bothered me. I knew his auction *was* legit, his photos just sucked and he wanted some that were more "eye catching".

Curious, what do you do in these situations?

@SpectralNight The guy I messaged actually did the same. Took my photo of a Target Smogon2 from these boards! At first he was asking me to prove it was my photo and made qualms about it not being copy written. Once I showed him my username here, and my IG, he tied all the images together, apologized and took it down. I always politely message the seller, but most times it falls on deaf ears.

Incredible how many people think everything in the world is just there for them to take. I guess part of the problem with my current photos is that I shoot them with a solid white background, which does give them a "solicitation image" look. Nothing to really distinguish it as someone's personal work. Still, if they'd just look at where these Google results were from, they'd know right away.
