October 18th 1997 these two figures sat atop a wedding cake. I have no memory of eating that cake. or how Barbie lost an arm.

So I found a vintage William Fuld Ouija Board in it’s box at the Brimfield Fair last month for a great price. Thing looks like it has never been used. I found it early in my trip, so I had to carry it around the rest of the day. It is a conversation starter, each vendor, passerby would be happy to talk to me about it. I even politely listen to a lovely, elderly woman explain to me that purchasing it was a bad idea, since it was used. A used board comes with unwanted baggage, bad mojo. Not sure about that, but it will lead to unwanted conversations, that I do know.

I loved the WWF in the 80’s. I was never a Hogan fan, Andre, Piper and Savage were my favorites – all antagonists to Hogan at some point. So an Andre figure was a nice addition to the collection. The need to make a Fezzik figure.

thedailypic•yr8•354/365•2911•The Joy of Bob Ross
I think Funko (the maker of these figures) missed a huge opportunity. The Bob Ross Pop should have be sold unpainted, and it would be up to the owner to paint it. We could add happy little trees, maybe on the pants or as a tattoo on his arms… but not too many. I used to scream at the TV when you knew there was 9 minutes left in the half hour, but the painting was essentially done. It always led to chaos, more clouds and crowded trees, just because he had to fill time. One thing for sure though, the world could use some Bob Ross joy these days.

I have been uninspired to shoot toy photos lately. Subjects go in cycles. The last few weren’t interesting to me, plain. Sitting at the studio tonight, this Hulk has been on the shelf waiting his turn, and it hit me… dirt. This is not photo-shopped, I am sure it could had been, but I rather shoot it in the camera. A handful of dirt, one light and reflector and 5 shots, 4 attempts and a vacuum to clean it all up. The progress is shown below. My favorite is above.
