Name That…2 Kids

This shadow looks like two kids stacked up ready to put a raincoat on and pretend to be an adult.

Name That…Rectangle

I loved geometry. I’m more of a circle guy than a rectangle guy though.

Heimdall

Heimdall

Heimdall has a rather distinctive character design. The armor seems designed to be more ceremonial than utilitarian, and the overall appearance is not quite as Asgardian as one would expect.

Living Dead Dolls Minis – Walpurgis

Living Dead Dolls Minis – Walpurgis

I normally don’t have incredible luck pulling variants, but I did with this one. I thought Schitzo the Clown was cool enough to warrant buying some more of these creepy little figures, I went back to the well and pulled the rarest of the case assortment with this variant of Walpurgis.

Name That…Letter Opener

I have a letter opener at work. It’s one of those newer ones not a fancy butter knife looking one.

Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel

Ok, the thing about Captain Marvel here is that he is an entirely generic superhero action figure.

Living Dead Dolls Minis Clown

Living Dead Dolls Minis Clown

The older I get, the more I like cute and creepy stuff. I’m not sure what that says about me. So when you combine that and my love of blind box figures, I couldn’t pass by the Living Dead Dolls Minis. The first one I picked was this guy, Schitzo. This is the regular version, […]
