Trough the looking glass

 Some of you here I have know since before google , going all the way back to my first days on the internet in 1998 others I haven't met yet but you like looking at what I used to put on here. Some of you will remember that I have lived basicly 3 places all those years and I had a name for each one .I called them the Hole , The Bunker and the dungeon respectively .Now life has brought me to a different point were I was say even 3 years ago .Much of the old collection of stuff is gone but I am rebuilding my collection and this time for the first time ever its above ground! Here , in this post I will show my new collection and room to the public for the first time. My hands aren't as steady as they once were and my camera is in pretty much the same condition as me so please forgive the blurriness as I try to get back to same old same old .Im just going to do a quick and dirty spread of picks , its my room. Ill focus closer on some of the things later. Please enjoy and thank all of you for sticking around as long as you have! So here , for your entertainment I give you the looking glass:

I have chose to once again live in my collection . going for a toy store like feel where the toys are living around me .It is a work in progress. This room is really put together to be seen in the dark ands that will be a post for another day.

Return of the Dragon queen

 I have had major life changes since the last time I posted here and I may show some of that in time or this might be the last post ever , you just never know. But as things stand right now I might try and drop by the old blog once in a while again .Everything is is different but its all completely the same. Anyways this stuff (like most everything else I currently own ) was recently acquired / reacquired  so I thought I would toss up a picture.

 

Pop Culture League Challenge: Toony Terrors!

 

This weeks challenge from the Pop Culture League over at Cool and Collected :

My top 10 picks for character's who need to be made into Toony Terrors from Neca!

So we will start this off at last but not least 

10: The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers.

 

Sure, I haven't seen Jeepers Creepers reborn or Jeepers Creepers 3 yet but I know for a fact I love the first 2 movies and the Creeper is a underutilized denizen of the movie monsters pantheon . We could get his normal trenchcoated version and an alternate with the wings spread out .

9: Leprechaun from the movie franchise of the same name .

Short in stature big on violence ! So far the toony bunch has Chucky and the Bride of Chucky as the smaller figures and I would love the see Leprechaun join the ranks representing the smaller figure side!

8: The Candyman . 

I would honestly take either version both are great movies in my book and we currently have no African American figures in the line and I think Mr Candyman would made the perfect character for the line.

7: Kinski from the Clive Barker classic NightBreed .

When I think of Nightbreed I think of old Moonman Kinski! True he was just a supporting character but in my mind he is truly a memorable design and as far as I know has never been an action figure!

6: The Crypt Keeper from Tales Crypt.

Shocking he hasn't made it into the line yet! The old Crypt Keeper is a no brainer in my book.

5: Jordy Verrill From the Creepshow 1 segment "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" 

So I'm a HUGE Stephen King fan also a huge fan of swamp monsters .Hey Neca make the figure and take my money!!   and this one leads me right into nuber 4..

4: Stephen King.

The toony line has been good to and shown a good deal of love to the late night Horror movie hosts so how about some for the people who dream up these unforgettable characters? Mr. King is the perfect jumping off point .

3: Edgar Allan Poe 

Much like Stephen King we have much in the horror realms to thank Mr. Poe for. Horror would not be what it is today without his early foundations in horror writing. 

2 Pumpkinhead from the movie of the same name.

Pumpkinhead could be the first larger figure in the line and would fit right in!

1: IT'S A TIE !! Troll from the movie Troll and Critters from the movie critters !

Sure neither one of these movies (both from 1986) are box office blockbusters but my childhood would not have been the same without them. I can see the Troll figure with the bouncy ball like on the cover of the vhs (that I still own to this day) and a multipack for the critters would be perfect!

Thats my list! It's been literally years since the last time I did one of these and it was nice to revisit . This would be the spot where I link to 2 other posts from fellow bloggers in the league but there hasn't been a League of Extraordinary Bloggers in a very long time and there are very few of us golden age comic book heroes still kicking around the blogverse these days ( even fewer members of the Dorkhoard!) but it was nice to do it again ...at least this once.
