Potential shelter for lizards, spiders, ants, silverfish...

A Hefty trash bag and duct tape are your friends.

I'm talking about the boxes and nothing else.

Not talking former targets of Dexter, talking action figure boxes...

Here after several years, trash bags, store shopping bags start to crumble into plastic flakes and when you pick it up to throw it away, it breaks to even more tinier flakes. This is probably how humans end up with microplastics in their lungs and bloodstream.

I kept Gunpla boxes in plastic bag hoping any Fukushima radiation would stay in the plastic bag. Gonna need to switch to paper bag or cardboard box.

The Mattel Creations GI Joe Skystriker & HISS Tank Megabloks is $80. Pass.

If I can get the instructions, I might try to make it out of Lego.

Was shopping in my local supermarket and they had some Marvel Funko for $8.50.

Most were from the film's but I grabbed Cap to go with my Marvel ones . Do need a Spidey though to go with Vulture, Mary Jane...

I'm going to try to hit up Target tomorrow and see what they have.

Finished at last.

This build had some cool features, but I wish the building was just a bit deeper. The rooms are really small when compared to Dr Strange's place and even the Daily Bugle.

Love the Gambit mini, and Iceman and Rogue are cool if a bit basic. Definitely like this version of Storm over the Mohawk version.

I do really like they gave you tons of ways to have the minis on the battlefield.

Didn't make it to Target but these came up in my feed.

Got a few items in this week. That Halo checkpoint was on sale at Amazon.

Preordered this one awhile back and it finally showed up.

Saw someone post Amazon had $12 off McF DC 7" scale mega comic Darkseid. Not super huge on DC, so will stick to 5" Super Powers.

Saw a recent kakarot197 youtube vid saying there's a new Gundam Universe re-engineered/tooling for maybe Unicorn, Barbatos, RX-78. Good thing I didn't get around to buying the RX-78 where I once saw a short fat woman hoarding a ton of Gundam Universe that were around $11.99 each. Couldn't find any more info on this new Gundam Universe. I saw a youtube review saying the first RX-78 isn't well built and falls apart.

From a Marvel email, I became aware of something called Displate which seems to be 3mm thick stainless steel poster with nice licensed art printed on it in some special way and mounted with magnets. The Amazon presence seems like nothing I was interested in was currently available there. Their own website had Gundam, Marvel, tons of Star Wars, but didn't see Dragon Ball Z or Macross. They had some 30% off special, but couldn't find any I really wanted enough to pay $33+ or $49. A few of the Gundam prints looked dynamic, but no Mark II, or Kampfer or Gouf. A few Mandalorian ones looked nice. I'll probably try to buy one at some point when they add more Gundam.

They did have some of the Jim Lee Impel X-Men cards like Colossus, and X-Men 97 remakes of that card design, some Jim Lee X-Men comic covers but not X-Men #1 fold out, Spider-Man and Daredevil comic covers, McFarlane Spider-Man covers, some comic pages w/o text bubbles, Frank Miller Wolverine cover art not as the comic cover, a bunch of stylized MCU and Star Wars movie art. I don't think they specifically listed Transformers, but did have a bunch including some that looked like from original box art of a few characters.

My cousin sent me one from "The Boondocks" as a present.

Official Displate? Amazon had what looked like bootlegs not necessarily stainless steel. What's the paint apps durability? Does it seem too heavy to hang with magnets?

I read they took down a bunch of unlicensed art. I think I saw maybe less than 15 licensed IPs. When I saw anime, I assumed a huge selection, or at least DBZ.

I might buy some Jim Lee trading cards art or X-Men covers. They had one with the X-Men fighting each other and the one with Capt Am, Black Widow, Wolverine.

Well, I'll just say that my cousin probably didn't exactly... Splurge for me on that one, but it's the thought that counts!

They come with everything you need to hang them. It has a magnetic strip thingie that's pretty swift. My wall is pretty thin in the man-cave, so I just used a standard hook, and it was easy-peasy. I'd like to get more but with better artwork. I like The Boondocks, but I don't like them enough to hang on my wall.

Did you check out the Displate site? The Guntank and the Guncannon ones were dynamic. There's a falling backwards Char's Zaku II bazooka shot one. There's a mecha category too where some might be random unlicensed fanart. I'd probably only buy if there's another 30% off sale.
