Hey now,
Been a long time since I made any post here. Need to try and change that. Here are some recent pickups:

These are new/updated versions of the classic Masters of the Universe figures, offered through Super 7.
She-Ra is the only figure of those 4, that is an entirely new figure. The other 3, are redeco/repaints.
I dunno, she sure looks a lot like the original She-Ra to me, and not that new early-teen one that has triggered a few basement-dwelling YouTubers for lacking the fappability factor. Jesus H. Murgatroid Christ on a burning bed, just get me off of this goddamned planet already. It's nonsense like this that makes me never wanna leave the house, you know?
Sorry, I got sidetracked a bit there. Um, where were we?
Bugs me how He-mans head is turned completely to the side. Makes me badly want to open it up to spin his head forward!
DO IT! Stop being He-Man's
real arch-nemesis, Beta-Cuck Soy-Boy®, and grow a pair already! Toxic masculinity FTW! Actually, now that I think about it, Beta-Cuck Soy-Boy® is an apt moniker for He-Man's alter-ego Prince Adam. And it
definitely applies to Battle Cat's alter-ego Cringer.
Aaaand I am putting way too much thought into this. I'll just move on now...
Walmart is starting to get reissue/updated G1 Transformers. I nabbed the only two I could find:

Neat. Not really considering picking up any of these little guys, but I dig that they gave Bumblebee a G1-cartoon-accurate face. It is kinda weird that they went with the original card art featuring the mouthplate face, though.
Speaking of mouthplate faces: It's time to reveal the biggest (third-party KO) TransFormer yet:
Whoah,what could possibly be in there?
Introducing the Lewin-1 Atlas, an upscaled KO of the Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime. But before I open this up, I better pay attention to safety:
That's some surprisingly coherent "Chinglish" right there (it
is "mede in china" after all). Now where to find four unhappy jack-o-lanterns so I can continue--
Eh, close enough. All right, let's get down ta bidness.
Now you're probably asking yourself, "just how big is this bad boy, anyway?"
That's where the good old-fashioned side-by-side comparison with my MP-10 Optie comes in:
Whelp, that's it for now. I would have posted more pics, especially the robot mode, but I'm waiting until the button-cell batteries arrive so I can power up this bad boy's light-up features. And he's got a LOT of lights, lemme tell ya.
Until then...
