DX Empyrean Ninja in two different configurations of the same figure (of many, there are multiple body parts, weapons / accessories available to choose from) I am considering scavenging some filler thigh and upper arm robot pieces to make a second and possibly a third cyborg galaxy-guy.

Tried to capture how this looks by photographing it outside, but phone and my fragile physical form both got too hot to use outside for an extended period. I love the deep red against the glitter filled smoke pvc. Maybe harder to see here are the bright blue eyes.

I generally prefer opaque figures, but this one is pretty uniquely put together and a nice variant to the mortal combat / power ranger sort of look of my others. The fact that the katana, bo staff and swords are all of the same translucent pvc is pretty dang fun.

I am amazed that some of these are still available in the spy monkey store – I’d have thought they would sell out within an hour of release like some of the other designs. Maybe they did a bigger production run?

Sundown Counties /Towns

Again, I wonder how many people have HBO to thank for getting very real black history they wouldn’t have learned otherwise. It amazes me how many people on my friends list didn’t know about “sundown towns”, especially in New England states.

Lovecraft Country did a good job juxtaposing that with the monsters coming out at night in the pilot episode.

Summer Feelings by Grant Snider

We saw the swoop of a bat just two nights ago! I hope it got a nice snack on whatever bugs were out there.
