JUNE PILE OF LOOT FINALE: Super Action Stuff Effects

 

Since it’s the end of June, I should probably post the last thing from the June Pile of Loot, which took me a while to be able to photograph. It’s an accessory pack from Super Action Stuff that went on sale in a BigBadToyStore /daily Deal so I got it for cheap. Super Action Stuff are the people that made those arcade machines full of fun accessories I got earlier this year.

Anyway, the guns, swords, knives, and head are all from my Joe Classified accessories bag, but everything else - all the firing effects, the blood swipes, the blood splatter, the rocket, the lightning, etc. are what came with the pack.

A lot of the fire effects have holes and pegs and such but I don’t know what thye’re supposed to be sized for. Certainly nothing Classified. But that’s what blue-tac is for. Not sure I’ll ever need the ricochet effects, but again, it was on a good sale, and most of it should come in handy at some point.

As or the rest of june? Four wrestlers, five impulse non-wrestler purchases, and three things I did just for fun. I mean, I do all of this for fun, but you know. Specific ideas for photos versus “look what I just opened up” pics.

JUNE IS WRESTLING MONTH: Ring Of Honor Danhausen

 

OK, I didn’t have time to set up The Arena for this, which is a shame, , and all my old arena pics are in different software, so you’ll have to settle for this kludge.

The 2024 Grand Rewiring

 

Had to replace the OLED TV because of six or seven years worth of burn-in. Notice the before and after pics of the screens above. Which meant a GRAND REWIRING.

JUNE IS WRESTLING MONTH: As Close As I’ll Get To A ‘Holy Grail’


A lot of toy collectors have “holy grails”, items they’ve been searching for forever and want more than life itself. I don’t really have that.

June continues to be busy, and continues as I build out the collection of WWE women’s wrestlers with a couple of Ultimates and an eBay snag.

PHOTO: Life Imitating Art Imitating Life


So last weekend, a good friend took my brother and I to Starcade in St. Paul, a giant space full of classic arcade games set to free play with a pay-once unlimited play setup. And it was a goddamned blast and you’re damn right I’ll be back.

JUNE IS WRASSLIN’ MONTH: Captain Lou Albano


June is shaping up to be a truly decadent month when it comes to toys, for a bunch of reasons, but also it’s turning into a VERY wrestling-heavy month, both in-hand and in the near future.
