My Cobra Trooper costume from Halloween! I’ve had these posted on facebook for a while but I figured I’d share it with Tumblr too.

The helmet is from Pit Viper Studios, the vest is a Condor from a tactical supply shop, the face mask is from a bike supply shop, the patch is from ebay and the gun is a Nerf Recon painted black.

This is a Zeus mascot I recently completed. I did most of it. I redesigned the face to make it more dynamic than the original art. This is the most detail I’ve attempted yet. The foam we carve in is difficult to get sharp detail in, then it’s covered in fabric which further obscures it. I’m lucky the eyelids turned out as well as they did, but I did lose the nostrils as usual. Ashley did do an excellent job covering it though, as did Karsten with the airbrushing. Benson had the idea for the lightening bolt eye reflections, which is a really nice touch. I’m especially happy with how the interior of the mouth turned out. We don’t often put the teeth in like that, but I felt he really needed it.

He also has experience working for Mattel and Hasbro. The project is in good hands. The campaign is fully funded but has a few more stretch goals to hit. The "All In" option is an incredible value at this point. I can't wait to get my horde and pit them against my Joes. It will also be nice to finally have some civilians in this scale.

My birthday present from @tarakrebsart back in April. The Boglins pin I was coveting from @cavitycolors comes in a tiny reproduction of the original toy box. The (incredibly comfortable) undies and socks from @sockittomeinc came in a delightfully personalized package complete with a sketch and a retro Mr. T card!

I got this for @tarakrebsart for her birthday a couple years ago. She kept recognizing the Princess of Power characters that I was getting through MOTUC, and we tracked it down to one of these old Colorforms Vinyl Play Sets. I found one still sealed
I got this for @tarakrebsart for her birthday a couple years ago. She kept recognizing the Princess of Power characters that I was getting through MOTUC, and we tracked it down to one of these old Colorforms Vinyl Play Sets. I found one still sealed from 1985. It is in perfect condition. #colorforms #princessofpower #shera #mastersoftheuniverse #pop #motu #vintagetoys
The MOTU library is growing! At this point it seems like Dark Horse has covered almost everything. I think one book based solely on documenting all the toys (in order of release) would finish off the set.
