No new feature today. Yesterday’s St Patty’s Day festivities were epic and right now I’m focusing on lying in bed, moaning, and trying to coax my liver into processing the quarts of Jameson, Bud Light, and Bailey’s & Guinness cocktails that are seeping through my system. I crawled out of bed long enough to write this and then I’m going straight back to bed for the rest of the day to play a little game called, “Oh god, Oh god, I don’t wanna throw up any more.” sleep it off.
I know we just came off a themed run with my look at Wave 17 of DC Universe Classics, but truth be told, I haven’t gotten a lot of new stuff in recently. Plenty of pre-orders, plenty of stuff in transit, but precious little showing up on old FigureFan’s stoop this past week. I have been army building some Classic Doctor Who figures, but nothing I haven’t already looked at here before. I’m kind of surprised/miffed that Disney didn’t plan any figures to go with the John Carter of Mars film, because I would have been all over that shit, but it seems like they’re mishandling the promotion of that movie on every level imaginable. Anyway, I didn’t feel like resorting to a week of Random Tote Theater, where I just pop open a tub and go with the first thing I see, so I decided to do a Transformer week this week. Here’s why…
Space is becoming a problem for me and my collecting ways, and when that happens, I tend to survey my collection, decide what’s taking up the most space and see if its time to part with it. My general rule is that if stuff in a tote, and I haven’t seen any of it in a while, it might be time to let it go. I was thinking that was the case for many of my Unicron Trilogy Transformers, so a couple of days ago, I pulled a couple of totes and started going through them in preparation to list them on Ebay. Much to my surprise, I couldn’t do it. I started fiddling about with them, and I realized just how much I still love these guys. They’re not all gems, but so many of them are really great toys, and I just couldn’t part with them.
And so that’s what’ll be going on starting tomorrow. If things don’t start picking up around here soon, I’ll have to come up with something equally creative for the following week.
