I'll start with a new find, Hawkeye statue! A thing of beauty modeled after Skottie Young's cover. 

 

 

Here's the cover from Skottie Young, a favorite artist of mine.

Where do boardgames come in this?

Does my every growing expansion of Age of Sigmar models count as toys?

Pretty close to them. After all, there are many boardgames designed specifically for children, including games centered on dexterity and plastic equipment like Hungry Hungry Hippos. These can be surprisingly difficult, even for adults (although the target audience doesn't know it), as many adults lose the required skills as they age. Plus adults tend to rely on plausible deniability about such things. And games like Jenga are played more by adults than children. I know from experience that Jenga is maddeningly difficult at any age.

 

These are often a gateway to a lifetime of game-playing, and so are a phenomenal thing for us.

All are welcome! I know we have some miniature painters, too. Maybe they're posting on game specific fora, I don't know. But i went to a local toy con a week ago and wanted to share some finds, so we need a thread. 

Here you go.  A portion of my Idoneth Deepkin army freshly magnetized. 

My toys are a little different...

 

 

 

With a house and a storage unit packed tight with recently inherited stuff, we are trying to avoid accumulating more material goods while we dispose of the wretched excess.  So picking up new toys is just not on my agenda right now.

Very nice.

 

I don't usually wear my automatics enough to justify one like that, though, and I'm much more likely to impulse buy an Eco-Drive.

Lately I've been collecting Masters of the Universe Origins figures.  I have 27 figures from the collection, I have a Tri-Klops to but he's actually from the original collection.  I picked him up at a Comic Con, cause I wasn't able to find the origins version of Tri-Klops anyplace.  He doesn't have any of his accessories but aside from that he's in pretty good shape.  The other figures are: He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor, Panthor, Sun-Man, Stridor, Lord Pig-Head, Sorceress, Ram Man, Buzz Off, Clamp Champ, Man At Arms, Stratos, Man E Faces, Fisto, Beast Man, Trap Jaw, Clawful, Faker, Anti Eternia He-man, Jitsu, Mer-Man, Stinkor, Evil-Lyn, Buzzsaw Hordak, Horde Trooper and Mantenna.

Sex toy pics?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No?  Ok.

The ones from races from other star systems are like collection of weird saltshakers that became Dr McCoy's medical instruments.

I installed Stable Diffusion on my PC, and am busy generating artwork.

 

 

 

 

 

Does Stable Diffusion cost anything?

No. The hardware requirements aren't bad either. I have a 6 GB GTX 1060 and I can create a reasonably sized image in about 30 seconds.

Now that I'm back, I have pics from my toy fair venture a few weeks back. I present LEGO Villainy! 

 

 

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on McFarlane's new lineup of Super Powers toys.  They look really great, especially the comic-accurate Supermobile, and while the figures don't have the Power Action features of the originals, the sculpting and articulation make up for it.  The Super Powers were a favorite of mine back in the 80s, and it's good to have them back.

I can understand Batman and Wonder Woman needing vehicles but Superman ?

He created it during a situation where he couldn't count on his own superpowers--the Supermobile uses Kryptonian technology to simulate his powers.  The robot arms simulate his strength, and it can fly as fast as he can, and withstand tremendous amounts of damage.  Not to mention it protects him from Kryptonite.
