Additional Humpday Mail Call!

I received 6 of these resin printed "Aquatic Aliens" as well as their little sidekicks!

I had previously received a filament printed one, and I have to say that the resin prints blow the filament away! They are smooth and beautiful!

I have attached pics of both the resin (grey) and filament (blue) side by side so you can see the differences.

Monday Mail Call!

I received a bag of much needed Boss Fight Studio fantasy accessories, some awesome "Star Wars" critters and a 1/18 Arthur Jr. (My new kitten, the figure of which is also a magnet!) from the always awesome Cap from Joe Customs!

Hump Day Mail Call and Walmart score!

The "Black Adam" set was only $6.51 on Amazon! I bought it expressly for the throne as diorama pieces are few and far between in modern toylines.

The brand new "Fortnite" figures were $10.97 at Walmart! I walked in at just the right time to get them as they only had 1 of each!

Monday Mail Call!

I ordered this bag of 100 8mm glass craft eyes from Amazon for $8.97, primarily for my "Final Faction" Decimators.

I wanted to fill in the missile launcher with an eye and was initially just going to make hemispheres of clay and paint them, but a friend gifted me some craft eyes as part of a trade and they were 10mm so they wouldn't fit into the opening on the Decimators' heads. I measured the openings and ordered some correctly sized ones. The Decimators will look awesome after being repainted and having their eyes installed!

That's a brilliant idea. Those Decimators will look great with the eye! So now, I'm tempted to build a few myself.

After work thrift shop score!

The electronic moon was $1.99, as was the large Therizinosaurus to the left of it. Everything else was in a bag together for $6.99.

The Therizinosaurus is from Schleich and usually retails for more than $25! It has a few minor paint scuffs that will be easily fixed.

The 3 Lontic/Tedco articulated sea creatures were worth the $6.99 I paid for the bag by themselves, so everything else is just gravy.

The 2 Lontic/Tedco articulated dinosaurs were $.99 each, as was the Lanard tank w/figure and the Battat Terra T-Rex was $1.99.

Today's Amazin Savings ("Power Rangers"), Burlington ("Jurassic World: Dominion") and Barnes & Noble (book) scores!

The "Power Rangers" fish monster was $16.99 and will get repainted in darker colors to be something like one of H.P. Lovecrafts Deep Ones.

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" Scorpiovenators were $6.99 each and this brings me to my desired 6 of this species.

"If this Book Exists, You're In The Wrong Universe" is the 4th volume in the "John, Dave And Amy" saga (one of my all time favorite literary series).

Today's Big Lots clearance and Dollar Tree scores!

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" sets were 50% off so they came to $4.99 each! I wanted 4 more Dimetrodons to get me to my desired 6 of each species and this does it.

The "Final Faction" figures were $1.25 each. The Decimators were bought to use up the last 6 glass eyes from my project yesterday. The X-4 Turrets are for a custom Droid idea I came up with. I want another one to have an even 6, but they didn't have any more at the Dollar Tree I was at (there are 6 or 7 more in my immediate area that I can check another day).
