In another thread I mentioned pre-ordering a Funko Pop! Wolverine, mostly because he’s wearing a jacket I actually owned, and which has turned up on a few toys recently.

Took another look, tho, and realized it’s NOT my jacket after all, so cancelled.

Ten minutes from my new house is an amazing new/used toy store. I’m thrilled to have found this beauty, and only $20. I finally have Jazz!

Story behind that Jazz statue:

I sculpted it, and then set about shipping it off to Dark Horse. Which was when it hit me: I can’t make a copy of this!

So I had to risk FedEx with fingers crossed!

And, of course, the original was ultimately destroyed cutting it up to make the molds!

One thing I’m no longer looking for is an Eagle one! I got a call from a friend of mine that knew I’ve been looking for years for one in good shape and affordable! This is what I walked into when I went to pick it up at his house…

All spare parts are in that brown bag, just some cleaning up to do.

*heavy sigh*

William, I still vividly recall going to a neighbors' house, a day or two after Christmas 1976 (when I was only 4 years old), and the son had gotten that Eagle as an X-mas present.

Being such a small tyke at the time, that thing was MAMMOTH.  And glorious.

There is a ‘Millennium Eagle’ in the first episode of SKELETON CREW
@ first I thought it was the actual pirate ship, but it is the ME.

Got a notification that my ‘Ghost’ has shipped.
The box weight is 22kg.
It’s a two man lift!
For a toy ship.
I still have no idea where I will be able to put it.

Spotted this paint by numbers kit with a familiar figure. Not sure what’s going on with the background he’s pasted on though.
