Sleep deprived fun - Toys (photos++)

Shaed

Everyone has toys lying around. Everyone, go take photos and share them here. If you mysteriously don't have toys, draw a picture of what toys you want/used to have, take a photo of them, and then post those ^.^

For me:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img00999.jpg
Evil Raccoon family of Doom. The adorn my keyboard and make plots about invading the pony castle.

That little baby girl in pink spins counter-clockwise without any outside intervention. She's obviously the anti-Christ.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01051.jpg
One of the new Lego castles, about to be crushed by random debris. I prefer the old Lego castles though. And speaking of which...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01053.jpg
Here's one of the one's I have. 's too big to fit in the box with the rest of my old Legos:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01074.jpg

I've tried to protect that big castle from my cats by piling more random debris around it. It hasn't worked well, because the cats mistakenly think they're agile enough to climb over the debris. So all that I've really done is added nightly crashings and bangings to my life.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01063.jpg
My Beast War figurines in humanoid and...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01065.jpg
animal forms. I used to have some warped love story going on between Cheetor and Air Razor. The stupid blue frog is missing a leg, cause it's a cheap 'new' BW, and falls apart if you look at it funny. Waspinator is missing a wing, but he's my only bad guy, so I love him anyway.

It's really quite strange that while my cute pink ponies were busy being enslaved by Barbie dolls (and eventually overthrowing them through bloody revolutions), my war-like robot toys were busy having torrid love affairs behind each other's backs.

Obviously my insanity extends back to childhood, also.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01064.jpg
Animorph transformers. Even though they're actually not that great (awkward transitions, incomplete transformation), they're just such great eye-candy I had to get them.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01072.jpg
Visser Three stalks my desk now, looking for unwary ponies to feast on.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Hell.jpg
Speak of the devil... my computer desk, complete with the hundreds of staring, dead-eyed ponies. They conspire while I'm asleep, you know *nods*

And some salt, apparently. Excuse me while I just remove that.

And last but not least:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Img01079.jpg
Bubbles. Just the best toys ever.

Sounds like a plan.

I'm going to customise a pony castle eventually. it's going to have a torture chamber with the 'surgical' laser I'll probably never have in real life.

Hell, if I can't perform torture, at least my ponies will be able to.

But the price is going to involve toy photos.

Yep. And they don't even see me as benevolent, because I occasionally hack one of their number apart to make customs.

One of these days I'm going to wake up surrounded by angry toy ponies.

Heh, reminds me of an eeeevil trick I pulled with about 5 of these. At school I was in a room where the next class would be coming in about 10 minutes later. If you place the Cheeps in a puddle of water they will cheep incessantly, so I carefully hid all five and syncronized their cheeping as best I could. Then I left. From what one of my friends in the class told me later it took them about 20 minutes to locate them all. :cool:

Ah, but over short distances I have the advantage. I have half as many legs to sort out when going from standstill to sprinting.

And I just have to make it to the door. Then I can lock them in my room and retreat to borrow a flamethrower from the neighbours.

Here we have elephant thing guarding my laptop, which is piled on top of a load of other crap.




http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/fatcattv.jpg

That's fat cat thing which adorns my television. To the left we see Homer Simpson poster, to the right we have a pile of crap and my Satan's Army poster.



http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crowputer.jpg

That is the crow that keeps watch over my ancient, crappy monitor that I have no use for but am too lazy to move elsewhere.



http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crap2%20021.jpg

That be a vintage car toy which is currently on my monitor stand until it rolls off and becomes lost under my bed.



http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/snoopymountain.jpg

That's snoopy who stands upon my tower of assorted crap. He's developed a bit of a suntan from being on my windowsill for too long.



http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DSCF0019.jpg

A few more model cars, and a couple of model ships. As you can see, that shelf hasn't been dusted in several thousand years. Below it is a Canadian $5 note, a Soviet Bulgarian 100 leva note and a postcard from Unfree People.
That black thing is a spider thingy I made when I was about 6 years old. It's basically a painted stone with some paper legs stuck on it. Unfortunately it lose its other googly eye.


http://www.satanstephen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/sovietsimpson.jpg

Ok, it's not a toy, but it's still cool. That's a print of a Soviet Victory Day poster. I think it looks rather arty for a Soviet propaganda poster...

Well, I've got a few toys lying around... (http://www.geocities.com/supersaiyangokux/roompics.html) (Heh, this is the 5th or 6th time I've posted this link on this forum... But, I've always had a reason, so I guess as long as it's called for, I'll keep posting it...lol)

But that doesn't touch on the two large boxes (about the size of 27" TV boxes) full of old TMNT toys I've got in the closet (the old toys; although I did buy a set of the 4 turtles from the new line), the two large "under the bed" type Rubbermaid boxes full of Lego (plus a couple of the Lego 1800 count buckets that hold my "never take apart" creations, like this guy (http://www.geocities.com/supersaiyangokux/lego/voltronindex.html)...another link I post way too often around here...lol), and my huge collection of thousads of M:TG cards (I've never bothered to count or estimate a total, but I've got 5, 2,000-count plastic card storage boxes holding my "loose" cards (not all of these are completely full, though), plus a handful of the regular cardboard long boxes storing my permanently constructed decks)

And Branin: Wow, a Mox? You know you've been collecting really hard (or playing since day one) if you've got anything older than 4th edition... Heck, Moxes are practically legendary, especially to the current players, who are stuck with buying re-released, watered-down versions of the older, better cards (anyone else notice this? many of today's cards are the older cards with higher costs and upkeeps... poor suckers missed out on the "glory days"...lol)

I am indeed a girl. And yes, they are scary. That's actually a big chunk of the point. No one's scared of *scary* things, but show them a wall covered in pink glittery ponies and they tend to curl up into a ball and whimper. It's quite handy really.

Yeah, I stopped after 8th edition when they changed the cards to look all Pokemon-y. I still play occasionally, and try to get older cards when I get the chance for decks that I've constructed, but I don't actively buy cards anymore. Those stupid new cards will never touch my decks.

Only if this 'working at Toys 'R' Us' benefits me in some way, say with the sending of ponies to me. *shrug* my 10% staff discount covers "my lil ponies" so you may be in luck

Otherwise I just pity you for having to deal with the annoying, annoying customers. In fact, you get a cookie for having not murdered one of them yet (assuming you haven't, naturally ;))

Yes well, I am looking for a career change, silly customers. *shifty eyes* well none which ive been convicted of, thanks for the cookie. :fluffle:

Oh, don't worry, I have more than enough 4th and some 5th edition cards. I never really got into Revised, however.

Well, I'm gone. Gotta go ta bed. See ya!

I don't think there's 10 cards combined in there from any set past Mercadian Masques.

Yeah, I stopped after 8th edition when they changed the cards to look all Pokemon-y. I still play occasionally, and try to get older cards when I get the chance for decks that I've constructed, but I don't actively buy cards anymore. Those stupid new cards will never touch my decks.
Same here. Hasbro has done some sorry stuff to the game.

Messed up the storyline, to boot. On top of all the wierd new art.
