Leo2 in transit
…
This is what happens when you are convinced the mail is going to crush your toybox.
1. A custom order to CGA before the auction ends for UV protected acrylic case with sliding bottom.
2. An express mailing of said container to buying service in Japan. Buying service forwards to seller.
3. A followup diagram to the seller a of how to pack it properly ( without words to give away my “gaijin” status)
4. Express mail back to the buying service.
5. Additional packing and double boxing at buying service.
6. Mailed to neurotic buyer. ( with a request for preview photos before it is sent.)
Take pills and add water.
Sometimes I love this hobby.

“Blue-King fighter”
“So the Gaiking and the Bluefighter have the same torso”?
“Yes”
“So you could technically take the Gaiking chest and transfer it to the Bluefighter”?
…
“You know, that never occurred to me.”
And so a new hybrid was born.

Bullmark Curricula Machine Sofubi DX
Don’t stare…
Uncle Warren,to keep the theme going, sends us some great outside hi res photos of his teddy bear eyed deluxe size Curricula machine vinyl this morning.
This mid sized Bullmark masterpiece was originally unveiled at the Dim Summit.
We were all amused, amazed and slightly disturbed by the doll/teddybear eyes.

The flock
On the way to work I snap a shot of one of the girl’s shelves. I envision her God Jesus Robot paving the way for his friends on the path to robot enlightenment.
Then I wonder if I need therapy.
(Don’t answer that.)
Anyway here is hoping she does her brog on this robo shepherd soon…
