Roger Sweet has died... BONG!! May 2, odds and ends


 He is one of the folks who claims created He-Man. The guy who yelled BONG!! in The toys that made us...  He was behind what we now know as Vykron. Though Mark Taylor was the one who did the whole concept of the characters... Sweet pitched the toy and Stan Lee'd his way as "creator of He-Man", while Mark Taylor got the Jack Kirby treatment.

Well, he dead... dementia side effects. My condolences to the family, ESPECIALLY since they had to deal with Dementia. I may not like the guy and his Stan Lee vibe... 


Will you believe this?

Trump wants to go to space... the first US President in Space. I know what y'all thinking:

Space Force uncanceled

Or...

Easy there, Jimmy Kimmel... don't go making jokes like that or the fuck your feelings crowd will get butthurt.

But let's be honest here: 
Donald Trump is NOT fit for a mission like that. Donald Trump is NOT the smartest tool in the shed. Otherwise he would know the obvious reasons why a President does not ride space shuttles. But here's a simple explanation:

The Challenger incident... yes the same one mentioned on Punky Brewster. 

So yeah... whether you like him or not... Space Prez is a bad idea. But seriously, what the hell? Are we in a simulation and we're playing GTA6 before GTA6?

Making Vulvana: a TMNT custom rant

 Pizzaface Jr has gotten me thinking that I can customize. Sewing soft goods resculpting 40% of a head amputating figures and giving them action features. 

I got thinking what character could I make that I know it won't get made by Mattel, or anyone else tackling TMNT? The only 2 answers I could come up with were Hitler and Vulvana. By the title alone, you already guessed who I am making. I can just borrow a Super7 figure to make Hitler.

Vulvana is a challenge. Technically I'd need a 1/6 red female body. To be closer to canonical height... but they don't make those... and with $18 bucks in my pocket... and feeling lazy as fuck, I went to my usual body parts supplier.

Figures Toy Company... i may be taking a gamble here because some of their older stuff doesn't have the better quality that the new work product has... but $18 for this:

In order to make this:
All I'll need is to either locate 2 horns or sculpt them, get some thin gold or yellow ribbon and Bob's your uncle.

It's MEGO sized, which puts her slightly taller than ultimates but  lose to proper scale for the Origins scale for Mattel.

The real question is: should I sculpt nipples and Vulva for Vulvana?
