I mild mannered roofer, down on his luck, taken in by a kindly family. When a home invasion leaves the parents of the children in the house dead, Jason uses his former military training to hunt down those responsible and bring them to justice. A man, armed with only his roof tile stapler.

Roofman.

What an absolute joy to build. There were some points where I had absolutely no idea what I was building until I slid it into place, and that’s a fun feeling. #LEGO #Nintendo #GameBoy

I think this year I’m going to try to Halloween Carol. Walk my neighborhood singing classic Halloween songs like “Monster Mash”, “Thriller”, or “Grim Grinning Ghost”.

What else makes the list?

“Who the heck are YOU?”

“I’m you, but with articulation. And better in every way.”

A bit of a chat w/ Ken Plume YouTube video by Mike Kaess

Last night, I had a bit of a chat with @mikekaess.bsky.social about toys, toy collecting, the toy industry, pricing, and willful ignorance… Plus karaoke, blowmolds, and where you should definitely not hang a shelf full of pricey toys. We also sang some @alyankovic.bsky.social over a Taco Bell mic.🤷‍♂️

A Jersey Devil?! In Illinois?!? Why not! #FourHorsemenStudios #FiguraObscura #Cryptid #JerseyDevil

Not a bad idea! I do like the hair better on the original one, but that new face is just… so much better.

Cyclops here is definitely gonna take you for a ride. Why did I buy this when I had the VHS version? Those kinda questions get you into trouble. And by you… I mean me. #MarvelLegends #Cyclops #Xmen #marvelvscapcom

I wanted to snap a picture of the Cal Kestis from the recent multipack against the original release. I realized that the regular head on the newer Cal is way better than the original release. That mullet head is just so good. What a great set. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #GamingGreats #JediSurvivor

These Jedi Temple Guards are cool. In any other year, they’d likely be a sure shot for my top 10 this year. But it’s been a crazy year for Black Series. So we’ll have to see. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #TheCloneWars #JediTempleGuard

I snapped this last night as I was turning off the lights in the toy room. It creeped me out. And I hope you have a great day.

Clone Lt Galle is probably the best clone to date. Although now they need to update the clone body with ball jointed wrists! But I’m not going to complain. He’s great. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #RevengeoftheSith

I opened my colorized Robin figure from Star Wars Visions, I didn’t love it out of the box. The wired cape on the B&W version has so much more personality. And the rubber on the robe feels thin. But after playing with it longer today, it grew on me. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #StarWarsVisions #TheRonin

“Hey Cal! Look! I found a robe and a lightsaber! I’m a Jedi too!” - Turgle I guess #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #JediSurvivor #Turgle

Today’s figure is the Thraxxian Scout. He’s just a real cool alien guy. All the sculpted detail in the scales and armor is incredible. I dunno why he closes his eyes when he snarls, but I get it. #CosmicLegions #ThraxxianScout #FourHorsemenStudios

Eh. Seaspray. I’m not fixing it.

Seasoray is great! Finally a bot with a gut. A robot for the common man. I loved the original mini-bot, and the Hasbro team has been knocking these mini-bot updates out of the park! #Transformers #Seaspray

I had such a stressful day yesterday, I didn’t even open the package from Walmart I got with Seaspray in it. I’m very excited to have this, he looks amazing. Hope we get a toon version some time in the future, but for now, he’s absolutely fine. #Transformers #Seaspray

I was going through my unopened toy pile and realized I never opened this guy up! Wow! What a treat. I was worried his hair would get in the way, but it doesn’t! It’s soft and pliable, and he’s perfect. #StreetFighter2 #JadaToys #Blanka

Lazy Sunday achieved.

So happy to have more Taskmaster to watch.

After seeing a picture of @danlarson.bsky.social’s cats sharing a small space, I got a little sad because my cats never really do that. Lo and behold, an hour later I walk into the library and see these 2 on the rocking chair. What a great day.

Got these in today from Hasbro Pulse! Pretty excited to have some temple guards. You can’t just get one guard. #StarWarsTheBlackSeries #TheCloneWars #JediTempleGuard

Townsend had the same phone as me! And I had to meet Billy West! Literally the voice of multiple generations of childhoods.

I got to meet the voice of OG Michaelangelo! Also the voice of Leonardo! They were so nice, and they both chatted with me for quite a bit. I got them to sign the Walmart tent releases from a few years ago.
