Happy Mother’s day, Mom!

Day 60 of Quarantine
Remarkable to think about it. Haven’t driven a car more than a block once week or so to keep it running.
Haven’t had takeout or eaten in a restaurant for two months now.
Interaction is limited to inlaws, who I fear aren’t being as safe as they might be, and neighbors out walking. I don’t go more than a block away from home.
I have managed to procrastinate quite a bit on cleaning my office. Several false starts, but no satisfying accomplishments.
We are fortunate in that working from home is an option, and I think that saving 80+ hours a month of commute time, not to mention weekend trips elsewhere.
I do miss pizza though… Thai and sushi a little as well.
Fortunate that no major health issues for Pyewacket or either of the humans yet. Getting our meds, eating reasonably healthy.

Grid Overlord DX.
Nod to Sark from the 1982 Tomy Tron toys. Translucent Red with pink paint details. Certainly the “scary bad guy” of the bunch, a good choice for Sark.
Nice that the claw hand is able to hold weapons and accessories, and the and the cybernetic armor is a well-made variant from the fantasy and the wrestling belt alternatives. Additionally, the tonfa , contemporary survival knife, and gun are a nice split from the more fantasy-based weapons.
I have discovered that a ton of backgrounds for filmation’s he-man and she-ra are available online. That should make web conference stuff more entertaining in future for some.
1 Complete Body, 3 Bonus Heads, Cybernetic Fist, Cybernetic Claw, 2 Cybernetic Gauntlets, Rifle, Knife, Baton, Armor Overlay, and 2 Bonus Switch Pins, and 2 Bonus Glow-in-the-Dark Green Clawbber parts.

Deluxe Micro Battler Jesse.
A loving nod to the Micronauts time traveller figures. I got blue simply because I had a blue one as a kid. If possible, later I will probably pick up an orange or yellow one to go with, since my little brother and neighbor kid Jason had those too, but the blue one was the real grab. For some reason, I thought the Blue’s name was Bob. (I forget yellow’s moniker, but Orange was Tony, I think) Spy Monkey Creations named this guy Jesse, but he will likely be Bob to me, too.
Translucent Blue with silver / gold / white paint.
Deluxe Battle Tribes Wrestling figures include: 8 painted heads (6 food in gold, silver masked and bald human), white painted Wrestling boots and gloves, painted gold Championship belt, and 1 painted wrestler mini figure body. I couldn’t resist a golden apple, being both a fan of mythology and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus Trilogy. I shall call him Kal, for Kallisti! Hail Eris!
Also includes unpainted Standard Battle Tribes boots & furry trunks.

Kale chips, making use of our #misfitsmarket box goodies. Scott eating kale, you say? It is dang tasty with olive oil and popcorn seasoning. Cooked for 25-30 at 225F. Crunchy, savory snacky. Also not shown, the apples are great.

Goblin Enforcer, report to the game grid! Though it defaults to an ankylosaurus head, that goblin head is just right for a translucent red sculpt with orange grid paint. I should have shown him holding the trident. A nice nod to the Tron program character MCP Warrior and based on the TOMY action figure version from the 1982 movie line. Comes with additional Glow-in-the-Dark green clawbber parts (including a cobra head!), and the usual weaponry and alternate heads (dinosaur, chaos dwarf, horned helmet that make this sculpt so nice. ) #gridenforcer #tron #battletribes #Glyos #Glyoscompatible #spymonkeycreations #onelldesign #toyphotography

Grid Champion
A Tron tribute in translucent purple with blue “grid” paint. It matches the classic 1982 Tomy colorway well. Same sculpt as Battle Burger , with great attention to detail (especially on the human and burger heads) and a nice nod to the identity disk on the add on wrestling belt.
I was just talking with a friend that I went to see Tron with ages ago on Facebook, and he remarked that he wished he still had the light cycle from that time. I wonder if I could create a recogniser or tank from the granite Gohlems for him to tool around on? I probably start small with a bit.
Side-side note, doing research on Wendy Carlos was my first realisation that trans people existed, due to her doing the Tron soundtrack. She also did amazing stuff on the clockwork orange soundtrack.
Back to the Grid Champion… 8 painted heads, wrestler trunks, battle tribes trunks, wrestler boots, battle tribes boots, remainder of a regular single figure and a head swappable mini wrestler. Not shown additional Glow-in-the-Dark green clawbber hands / head.

It’s an enduring question: aliens or just a ghost? From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1993

Legendary Berserker. I like having a paint set that has a dwarf / Viking / fantasy style person of color. The tones also look great for the ankylosaurus head / shell. The face that the shell can be worn on the back or used as a shield is fantastic, too. The helmet-less bearded head has a solid Warhammer dwarf look, and the goblin head sculpt works well too. The weapons are all well designed, but the war hammer and shield seem to just make the most sense for a Berserker type. The trident is nice… I wonder if you could jury rig a net to make it more Gladiatorial? A goblin with a punch knife and dagger is pretty sweet, too. I really like this mold set in a lot of paint and pvc variants, which will become obvious in future photos. Paint and sculpt detail are excellent quality, definitely durable enough for play over just leaving on a shelf. Pretty darn posable for having basic joins. 22 parts total, including multiple heads, shield, weapons, belt, switch pin and shield grip. #glyos #glyosbuild #glyoscompatible #toyphotography #onelldesign #spymonkeycreations #battletribes

Bioengineered “Gonk Droid.” Items of note are sensor tentacle, grasper control claw and cute Lil lizardy feet, all grown in, and supported by a handy red nutrient tank and alternative power resource. Refillable at most service stations or plant supply shops. Also composts most vegetable waste. Has rudimentary intelligence, but good at following you around and spotting odd power and heat emissions. #glyos #toyphotography #spareparts #itisfriendly #onelldesign #glyosbuilds #gonkdroid https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3slmqAom7/?igshid=198zf5s7l6hx0

Size comparison between Palidar, Battle Burger, Mad Cyclops and the head-swappable mini wrestler that came with Battle Burger. BB is borrowing Cyke’s axe, but I don’t think they have the chops to stop Palidar if it decides to be problematic.
Battle Burger is one I had to get… Allison saw and knew I would love him right away.
I didn’t get it in time to get a free rifle, but he did come with
complete painted figure body
painted heads (burger, fries, donut, soft serve, apple, orange luchador and arnold)
painted Championship belt
painted wrestler mini figure with wrestling trunks and boots
Furry trunks
Adventurer boots

The base human head is a total tribute to Arnold Schwarzenegger with camo paint from Predator, and also has a very real Sgt. Slaughter vibe.
While the Arnie and Luchador heads are great, the Burger head just works great for me, with the angry eyebrows.
Mini wrestler is about an inch tall, burger about 3 inches, Palidar 4 inches.
