More From TOYCON PH 10

Here are a few toys that caught my fancy. These were released by Fresh, a local toy shop specializing in hard to find vinyl toys. I'm not looking to expand my collection to this line yet but these look quite tasty.

TS118, the Philippine's 3 3/4 (1:18 scale) figure G.I. Joe/action figure club ( of which I'm a lurking member) exhibited a modular diorama entitled "Operation: Burnt Lair." The club pioneered the Dynamic Modular Diorama or DMD wherein the diorama changes display to tell a story. these DMDs are usually exhibited during toy conventions, launches, etc. Congratulations to the guys who made this awesome setup possible!

He is described as a pale-as-a-sheet mad scientist with a duckbill-like mouth and a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living rag doll creation Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I made you with my own hands" which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial. Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin...

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
