I don't know what ever happened to these things, but they were the best back in the day

I'm pretty sure I know which one is going to win, but I'm still curious.

Inspired by a dream I had in which I was playing with my beloved K'Nex. The feeling was immediately so recognizable and satisfying.

I had several of these growing up. Definitely tell me what I missed!

Substitute Shapeshifter

A semi-sequel to an earlier comic. My question is whether or not you heard a Ditto voice in the last panel or an Optimus Prime one.

Mega Construx Crystal Lot of 3 Creatures

Did some toy photography out on my college campus :D

[official-megumin]

you don't see a lot of mega bloks destiny stuff.

So I made my own!

fully custom painted figure(as well as a good bit of custom sculpt by yours truly)

I've been working on the base all day but did the all the foam work last night.

All made with just some cork and xps foam, as well as some terrain paste and plastic stock. Of course also some fake mega bloks pieces I had left over after getting a tank from aliexpress

That is of course not counting the paints and pigments.

I have been experimenting a bit with building bases over the past month or so. And Mars, especially Mars in destiny. Has been tickling my brain awfully for as long as I remember.

So I have steadily been doing more and more complex bases(of course this is still rather simple) and I just really wanted to capture the feeling of Mars in the game. I tried just doing Mars with the rocks and sand. But it felt too generic, too standard Mars.

So I tried doing a ruined building, because that very much dominates the environment in game. But that wasn't feasible with the size of the base or with the materials I could afford.

So I waited until I had money again, and splooged a bit on materials, like plastic stock and xps foam. And I got to work, the mega bloks I had on hand were also just a coincidence, and I just lunched at the opportunity.

Either way, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and kinda proud with how good it looks.

I hope it inspires at least one other person to grab their tools and start working on this toyline that is so near and dear to my heart.

So, I didn't know this was a thing beforehand but, I guess not in a while. But, apparently Mega Construx and Monster High are going to be back together for some sets. Now, This is really the only one I care about currently. This is Clawdeen's Boo-k Den and I absolutely love this. It's based on her bedroom playset and I love that the micro-figure Clawdeen is based on her G1 look. It's got 298 pieces, releases August 17th 2024 for a price of $29.99. I am definitely going to be getting my hands on this one.

It's also not the only one we are getting. Apparently for SDCC 2024, they're doing this one, Frankie Stein's Boo-k Lab. This one is pretty neat but, doesn't interest me as much as Clawdeen's. This one has 362 pieces and will be available at SDCC and on the Mattel Creations website for $40 which is about $10 higher than I'd prefer it to be.

Lastly, we've got Dracularua's Boo-K Crypt. Again, this one doesn't really strike me as much as Clawdeen's does, but it is very well done. They nailed the colors and the figure looks great too. This one has 301 pieces, will release August 17th 2024 for $30.
