"Holy mechanical marvel"

I spend so much time on eBay looking at toys and games, you would never think i was 32 this year. I say its because i like the boys having fun things to play with but Mrs M knows that its really for me more. This is an entry about recent items i have found and would love:


Creepy i know, and im quite sure that Mrs M wouldn't want this in the house but if she was ever stuck for a wedding present for me or there's a birthday very close she could make a super geek very happy.


A few months back i was talking to Mrs M about how amazing it would be to have action figures made of the 4 of us.Then i found Firebox where you can have your pop on head made for one of your existing action figures.

 They have a small choice of popular character bodies to choose from and although me and my eldest would be cool as Batman and The Joker and Mrs M of course as wonder woman im not sure superman is right for my youngest (never did like superman). i do quite fancy me as the Ventriloquist and my youngest as Scarface.


I used to love baking and should really get back into it (although my waistline may not agree). Maybe these would give me the motivation i need:


I love it when your looking for something on eBay and something interesting pops up that you've never seen before. Today this little beauty popped up on my search list...


I always think that if you find an interesting Joker toy and they make the Batman counterpart then you have to have them both because they always compliment each other, so i did a search and suprise suprise they do...


Ive been advised by Mrs M that that they were limited edition and made in Japan, now who's the geek! I'm so proud of her.

Well Father's day and my birthday are only a month apart so we'll have to see how much of a good boy Ive been this year.
