I’m a grown man, and sometimes I buy toys.
What? It’s my money. Some people collect stamps. I buy toys (and take them out of their boxes, that’s the important bit).
In a fusion literally nobody (except my brother) asked for, Harley Quinn merges with the dog from Wallace and Gromit in another of my random art projects.

I bought some custom figures from Hero Forge recently and painted ’em up. They look pretty cool!

I was leaving the flat the other day and, amongst the assorted mail for various apartments, a colour catalogue caught my eye. This was because it was a catalogue of LEGO. Strange for it to turn up in the mail, and I made the decision that if it hadn’t been…

I turned 27 this year, officially placing me in the “adult” end of my twenties. So what did I receive for my birthday from my beloved girlfriend? LEGO, of course! Having received a Joker steamroller previously, and also coming into possession of a LEGO version of the Penguin1, the only…

In my quest to buy every single action figure DC Collectibles pumps out that’s based around the Batman “Arkhamverse” video games, I have so far managed to buy a giant alligator man, a steroid Joker and a colossal zombie. When Solomon Grundy turned up in the mail, I joked that…

I tend to make a rule towards LEGO, in that I’m not to buy any unless it’s very, very necessary. You could argue that no LEGO is necessary, but then you don’t own LEGO minifigs of the Ghostbusters, Doc Brown and Marty and the Joker, so shut up. Aside from…

Despite not actively being a die-hard LEGO collector1, I somehow have a growing collections amassing on one of the coffee tables in my flat2. The collection grew a little larger over Christmas, with my other half kindly gifting me a LEGO set that pandered to my fascination with both LEGO…

At the beginning of the year I wrote about a Paint-Your-Own Gromit model I did up in the style of Peppa Pig. What I didn’t mention in that post was that I had actually bought two models – one for my relative, and one for me. The reason for this…

Around this time last year I had a geekgasm over limited edition Back to the Future LEGO. At the end of that blog post, I linked to a user-submitted Ghostbusters LEGO design, featuring all four Ghostbusters and their unique vehicle the ECTO-1. That project sadly didn’t get approved by the…
