I earned this.

Not everyone walks past a plate that says “EWOK1,” digs into their bag, and pulls out an Ewok for a photo op. Today… the galaxy called, and I answered.

Holiday roooo ooo ooo I ooo ooo oo oad!

I got close, but not close enough to finish Droid dude for this trip. Will hopefully get him assembled when I get back.

Spider-Punk was close :)

This makes me very happy. I really wish The Loyal Subjects stuck with the Cartoon Beetlejuice line. Would be amazing if NECA picked it up. Please and thank you.

OK, last WIP shot for tonight. Had to make a compromise on the upper leg cable. Originally wanted to connect it to the body, but then it couldn't print as a single part. So, decisions were made. May do a test leg print tonight before I call it a day.

Version 2.5 is coming along. I'm putting a lot more effort into making the parts printer-friendly to avoid unnecessary supports. I don't think I'll have him ready to print and paint for my trip, but I'm pleased with how it is progressing.

Also, thanks again to everyone who's reached out to me regarding my mental health. Sorry to hear that I'm not the only one feeling abysmal these days, but misery does appreciate your company. I'm just so sick of this timeline, and I want to reboot the world to try and get it working again.

Spent a few hours this evening tinkering with my chibi BDX droid. I remade the body, split apart some parts, and added some greebles. Tomorrow I'll work on the legs and neck. Hopefully I can pull off some basic articulation but confidence is low.

Thanks. Happy to share him after I refine him a bit.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

He's getting painted, he's getting painted!

Lots of room for improvement, but I already love him.

Current BDX progress. This is a non-articulated version, but doing a test print to see how it goes. Tomorrow I'll see about adding a ball joint to the neck and giving the ears some wiggle

I have slim chances of finishing this chibi BDX droid before we leave for Disney, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

Forgot the pic

Got to play around with a Switch 2 demo.station again. I think the screen on this thing is big enough that I can maybe play without wearing my reading glasses

I’ll look into it right after I take a nap. 💤

Is it depression when all you want to do all day is just sleep? Asking for a friend… who just took a four hour nap and wants to go back to bed.

Most nostalgic movie soundtracks episode?

Grabbed the last Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo I needed before these get even more ridiculous in price. Not happy about how much they cost, but glad to finally have them all and be done with it.

Yesterday was drop day for Julys Collababunga: retro sci-fi collab. I planned a Flash & Vultan rocket sled pic, but it didn’t land. Ended up going with Flash piloting Ajax, but not crazy about it. This Fallout Protectron was a plan B, which I think I like better than the others. What do you think?

Damn you, Tick... Just, Damn you... take my money...

One of my absolute favorite gaming series of all time. The fact that you can pick this up for $6 is bonkers.

Also enjoying reading old issues of Nintendo Power. Such great memories of the GBA. Will be chatting more about video games with @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com on this Thursday’s Perfectly Excellent stream.

I can’t express how happy it makes me to have access to an archive of every issue of EGM. Diving into these is unlocking a treasure trove of memories.

This is one wacky read.
