February 25, 2010 - Iron man 2 figures: Movie line

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get my hands on these two little guys from the 3.75 in. movie line from the upcoming iron man 2 toys. What can I say? these units translate quite well over to the small scale line.
Articulation points remain the same and the added fun factor that comes with small scale figure increases as well. Yay for desktoys! The mark III looks great. details are very nice. Proportions are very good. The joints were really stiff fresh outta the box, but after some intense posing sessions, this little dude is just perfect. Joints are looser, but hold very firm. It still has the "hasbro" hip joints though,ugh. Most toys from movie lines seem to have these where Marvel Universe figures have pegged legs. However, at least this way, the option of thigh swivel are available.
The Iron monger is pretty much a spot on smaller scale replica of his 6 inch big brother. Very nice. Detail on him is also really great. For toys that are made with soft pvc for young ages and up, have lame accessories, these are really nice. Now imagine if a smale scale figure line tried their hand at these. A revoltech iron man? Imagine the awesomenesss. heh. Coming later, the hypervelocity armor from the concept armor line. Later.

February 25, 2010 - Delayed New Years

So I had to work on Valentine's and Chinese New Year so I wasn't really cool with that. I then had a really hectic work schedule the following week which gave me no down time so that was totally lame. Luckily, I finally got around to hanging out with some friends the following weekend. It was a regular New Year's, but I'm not disappointed.

Thought we'd take a few snapshots here and there. Sito's a total dork.

We thought we'd do some pictionary(no one ever played before)

Sito's thinking, " how the fuzz am I supposed to draw this??"

"Thinking/inspiration juice." This should improve my chances of winning and make things interesting.

Snapshot band wagoner

Give me a proper camera smile, woman!

Good to know that no one's intoxicated, right??

Candid camera shot, but good enough.

EH? oh, I thought we were doin goofy face pics.kay, redo.

Serious faces, not constipated. One more time, how bout a raised eyebrow?

February 15, 2010 - So Texas got snow.NO, really, real snow!

First time ever, it snowed here.Alot. And it wasn't even that cold. And it wasn't sleet or ice. Fluffy, lite, snow. So weird. Kinda cool. Looked very nice outside all over for the most part. I didn't get to play though, had to work. But for couples on Valentine's Day, A great scenery and mood setter for the all day luv luv fest. I thought I'd post a few pics from the day after to share. Enjoy. (and sorry for blurry photos, driving & snapping pics isn't safe, y'know.)

P.S.- And a Happy late Valentine's Day to Everyone.
