Oh yeah I didn't think about looking for used ones at an in person retailer. (The Internet has eaten my brain, well and truly.)

A REMINDER TO CHECK YOUR HALLOWEEN CANDY!

Last year, I cut open a Snickers bar to inspect it, and I found the MST3K episode The Castle of Fu Manchu.

Recently I went down a very deep Internet rabbit hole trying to find the strangest and most random action figures based on Hollywood actors. This is what I found. The pictures ... well, they’re very troubling in some cases.

Some very random actors have their own action figures.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm.

Real life:
