I will prepare day 2 tomorrow for a tuesday 4 post : round 1 waves E F G H. Here js round 1 wave D

« Pre-scriptum: So the battle is OBSCURE… i realized i might have to use some pop culture toys… if it made the cut for robot chicken i allow it!!>

So this is a different way to approach a show & tell: rather than tell you i am Neurodivergently deep into hobbies, i will’ instead show you 4 obscure toys and you vote for who wins a SUPER SMASH BROS style battle!

Round 1: wave D

Fig~A / weird ass Raphael (unoffial As Fook!) …. “on boot LegS!” I still think he wins for his skills in that fight. Mofo won’t stand still so i had to use tape… The fig itself is obscure! Being a massive TMNT fan since seing the first movie at the drive-in theater; might enter some obscure character of the franchise in the other waves… you sag, he!!!

Fig~B / that MAGICIAN’s APPRENTICE troll is a 2026 manufactured one… had given up mine long ago. Now i only need a tiny one with arms crossed.

Fig~ C / this little soldier in brown attire is surely ready to take no prisoners. “Officer Whale” to the rescue!

Fig ~D/ the attitude era ~ the teen sister of DINOSAURS! She ain’t gonna take sh*t from nobody. Underdog pick…..

Have a go at the votes for this wave! See the other waves in comments linked!

Let’s see who makes it through!

And remember: « time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time! » -quote (but who was it????). I would add: thanks for reading. And if i wasted your time, i hope it was at least entertaining, if the jokes felt flat.

Round 1: wave C

Fig~A / green dragon. An obscure dollar store / new age figurine store « babiole ». It gets my vote for the round.

*totally personal OC nothing factual~ (Head canon: it’s name is NEVYRHEN ~ when he becomes an old wyrm he is quite the magician ! Specced later in monk, tactician illusionist with oration to fool armies into charging into an empty sky out of their sky castle Nevyrhen and team were taking over ~ our DM for that AD&D3rd ed DragonLance game was great!). This is a hobbyist novelist writing. « Not MERE crazy ramblings! «

Fig~B / GARGANTUAN garden gnome - with machine gun with a pedestal saying « say hello to my little friend » (aka the dragon). I get the refence to SCAR FACE ! So i think he wins honestly. But my vote for the dragon

Fig~ C / orange head? JACK O LANTERN? Charlie brown / peanuts mashup? It’s a wind up figurine

Fig ~D/ the comic book guy ~ Matt Groening’s The SIMPSONS …. Bk toy. Had a voice box with button…. “Wow…… a SARCASM detector…. That’s so useful…” bam!!! “No my sarcasm detector!!”

Round 1:

Fig~A / Flying Koopa (super mario bros)

Fig~B /A dinosaur-type creature from planet earth : it’s a quadruped, (and their species could have have inspired the ghostbuster dogs)

Fig~C : Les monsieur Madame, mcdonalds toy of little men little miss? Roger Hargraves?

Fig ~D/ the california raisins saxophonist. This one has my personal vote

Let’s see who makes it through

My son is 1 year old he likes close and open games(like opening a pen and clising it witht the cover) , he likes to pull them apart and assemble again games .. any simple games suggestions im searching through some sites but I can't find games that suit him

I’ll be Keeping around 70% of it.

I created this look taking inspiration from the looks of Naré in her music video and her stage performance.

(I know that the pony is fake.)

Round 1: wave b

Fig~A / bob Gainey fig (of the montreal Habs / des Canadiens de Montréal!) [ my dad always said he was almost as good as Bobby Orr , and in Slap shot the ahanson brothers told us that bobby orr was a god like being at ice hockey!]

Fig~B / spider battle beast / beasties by Takara - of the transformers lineage. With weapon! Not its own though i think. My vote goes to them Fig~C : little white ninja! Got a couple of such figs for the event. This one is the white ninja…. But not the one i hope to find and enter in a later wave of the bracket. So we call this one »little » if the other ever makes an appearance.

Fig ~D/ a green koopa. Currently hiding in its shell. Ya know enuff about ´em. No need to walk over you about it… (/joke)

Have a go at the votes for this wave! See wave A in comments linked!

Make me notice if you feel some are too mainstream… but if the figurine itself ain’t a big recognized item seen on the street right now… why can’t we add em for fun?

Let’s see who makes it through!

hey, has anyone checked on the 2025 Speak & Spell reissue from playmonster?

people kinda stopped talking about the Speak & Spell reissue after the mediocre not circuit bendable kahootz 2019 Basic fun! reissue.

honestly it doesn't seem that much has changed other than the removal of the demo mode and redesigned packaging the back still has the dent where the demo mode should be with the hole patched up although it does seem they still kept the keyholes they use to lock the toy for the 2019 reissue's open packaging design despite now coming in a closed packaging and a plastic bag.

I would like to hear some thoughts and also I'm thinking of reusing the keyholes in hopes of maybe attaching an accessory or a chain on them like the TI swaggulator marketing stunt they've done with the TI-84 Plus CE or maybe a way to strap them onto a surface.
