Monday morning Ross finds. $9 each. I had not seen reports of Tele-Vipers showing up, so that was a nice surprise.

These were the 3 Cobras from 1985 that I had as a kid. Never had a Crimson Guard or the first 3 Dreadnoks.

I know that Chicago is notorious for it's terrible pizza, but this was cheaper than a DiGiorno so I decided to give it a try.

Added some ham and extra cheese for good measure.

It's OK. Would buy again.

As per tradition, after breakfast on Thanksgiving Day, I sort through what I bought in the past year (or longer) to give away to the local toy drive.

This was not a great year financially for me, but I did OK.

ROBIN HOOD is my favorite Disney animated feature.

Got some more custom Marvel Legends listed.

This will probably be the last Professor Warren I make, unless I can get more parts on the cheap.

I've been on an Alpha Flight kick with my custom Marvel Legends action figures lately.

Madison Jeffries, Wild Child (Gamma Flight), and Marrina are all still available on eBay.

Diamond Lil sold this afternoon, but I have the parts to make another one.

Still trying to rebound from the car repairs.

In addition to Lego, I have more 6" custom action figures listed. Classified Hector Ramirez is one I've made before (thanks for the shout-out last time @buzzdixon.bsky.social !) as is Marvel Legends Wild Child.

ML Nitro and Unicorn are new.
