After work thrift shop score!

I found this Boomco "Halo" Brute Spiker for $2.99!

It appears to be complete sans darts, which I really don't have a need for anyway. I plan on sealing the open top and bottom of the front where the dart magazine goes and correcting the very front of the gun to have the correct double barrel (over/under) design from the game as the dart gun only has a large single barrel. I will paint it up and use it as a prop replica.

The nicest part about it is that the handle is actually large enough for my giant gorilla hands to hold it correctly (it was designed for 8' tall simian aliens after all 🤣).

Dollar Tree score!

I grabbed these polystone sand dollar 3pks to be large sea creatures with some modifications and paint.

You can see how well they scale with a 4" figure in the second image.

Someone on my route was throwing away this "Bakugan" base/arena/whatever this is, so i grabbed it to be the base of a sci-fi diorama.

I will either use contour putty to fill in the Bakugan logos, or glue additional pieces over them. I love the circuitry design engraved into it. It is a really decent size as you can see in the 2nd pic with the 4" figure.
