mdmrn, to Canon

It's Figure Friday and I'm at work.

So, here's a Mr. Potato Head figure from the 1970s. It looks so very different than the current Mr. Potato head.

Oh, and that canon next to it I made when I was in college. Where I went to undergrad, all freshman engineering majors had to take a metal shop class and their final project was to make either a canon or a catapult. I thought the canon looked cooler.

Anyway. Happy Friday!

Toy Galaxy did an updated video on Inhumanoids and I'm pretty proud that it was enabled in part by me uploading the series to YouTube. And my stuff there isn't monetized or anything but it sure has had a spike in views.

Wait! I have an important question?
Have you seen these anymore?
Can we still buy them?
I ponder this as I work.

NSBooklady2,

@Rasta Haven't seen one of those since my son was a toddler. He'll be 49 next week.

Received a box, this’ll be a long thread, in time not amount - I’ve done my back in so bending is tricky - but anyway, as always follow the 🧵 for the contents

Zoids!!! If you’re of a certain age I don’t need to say anything else about this if not then these were a fairly incredible series of toys, really just construct at home wind up toys (or battery powered) at the basic level, but really imaginative

Howdy all! In this weeks video we take a look at a classic, it’s a vintage 1985 Slug! The question is: where does G1 fit in a modern collection? Check out my video linked below to find out!

@nectarmechanics Slug was my favorite as a kid. I still have him! A bit dusty, but still in great condition. Hearing it came out “almost 40 years ago”…ouch. 👴🏼

nectarmechanics,

@box464 Ayy! Awesome to see you’ve still got yours!
Yeah I’m already having similar, my intro to transformers was Prime… Which is ten years old already 😬
How dare time pass!
