Marvel legends Electra turned up today, as did 4 tickets to London Comic Con.


Sorry , ElecTRO turned up today, the Francine version.

I was open to buying the newly revealed Disney+ Punisher, but doesn't look appealing enough with the unfinished skull logo and jelly roll hairdo. I saw rumors of Nick Fury Punisher two pack, so will look forward to seeing how that looks.
 
I think I'm gonna pop on the CLAW...

Is that Comic Fury or Samuel L Jackson Fury ?
 
Even if I bought that MCU Disney+ Punisher to try a headswap, I wouldn't be satisfied with the body.
 
Ever since I saw the reddit post about the neck ball dumbbell adapter to allow Marvel Legends heads on GIJ CS bodies, I've been a bit obsessed about it trying to think of non-toy hardware to use to act as an adapter. I've come across Tamiya remote control RC ball screws and connectors that have a ball sphere head (some with hex driver hole on top) and a bit of shaft below and then a nut and then screw threads. Not absolutely sure they have ball spheres with 8mm diameter. I suppose the nut could be filed a bit to be rounded to try to put into the neck hole which might have enough depth to accept the screw threads or the threads part could be sawed off. The Tamiya ball connector is similar but doesn't have threads so it's like a chess piece. I've never plucked out a GIJ CS neck peg dumbbell, so no idea what the diameter of the bottom ball is.

I've also seen spheres with a hole to accept a screw, but no idea if there are spheres with same thread size, but different sphere size.

Also saw something like the Tamiya ball sphere connector, but I think it's for belts where it's like a chess piece that accepts a screw to secure into a belt hole.

Also thought about if I could buy a 8mm diameter short aluminum rod piece and just try to file it into a sphere, shaft, and smaller sphere. I think that would be difficult to do freehand without a lathe.
 
No toys etc today but went to what we call a car boot sale over here , basically our version of a rummage or garage sale but there's an area somewhere set aside , sellers turn up in cars , set up tables and sell their unwanted stuff.

Nothing of great interest but I did pick up 9 comics and 7 compendiums, TWD, Deadpool, Infinity Gauntlet and Dark Phoenix for around $26 which was reasonable.
 
^ In the US of A, those are called swap meets or flea markets. I'm guessing back in the day, fleas were literally being swapped unintentionally.

At Walmart, didn't see any GI Joe Classified, but saw a bunch of peg/shelf space for what looked like toilet transformer figures or humanoid toilets. WTF? Star Wars seems to have more space and TVC Lando still unsold.

Peeked at Don Quijote's gunpla dept and saw there's such thing as SD EX Standard which seems the same size as SD Cross Silhouette and internet suggests both lines were discontinued.

A while ago, for the first time saw the Japanese Gunpla box art cards that come with some sort of gummy candy shaped like a small gunpla sprue which makes it difficult to remove and eat. Super Dragon Ball Heroes had the same thing but their gummy candy was disc shaped like a Dragon Ball. Got some Black Knight card maybe from Gundam Seed Destiny. Both the gummy candy and card were separately sealed in plastic wrapper. Not sure if the card is plastic, but feels rigid. The Super Dragon Ball Heroes cards were smaller than baseball card size. Also tried Gundam sticker that came with a wafer cookie and got two shitty stickers in SD format art. One may have been a G Gundam pilot and other looked like Dynasty Warriors SD Gundam.

Didn't he have an argument with someone in The Warroom or somewhere and vowed to not return? If so , respect to him for keeping his word but I miss his input here and his threads using Grappling Gorilla et al....

And no toys today , 25 copies of 2000 ad comic from the 80s delivered .

Tomorrow I have to pop to a nearby city for a work thing and there's numerous nerdy shops there although one is closed. ..

I got the paperback graphic novel compilation of the "Apocalypse War" from Judge Dredd. A classmate of mine had an issue back in High School and that storyline was a Grail item for me.
