Can it just be October already please???
I'm ready for 31 Days of Halloween...Actually I'm not quite ready. I've got a lot of new shots that I want to start working up to have a fresh set of Halloween photos this year. What pops should I shoot for a 31 days of Halloween project?

One of the most disrespected Funko lines in my opinion is the Gi Joe line. The pops look amazing! They really captured the figures we grew up with, along with the beauty of the old cartoon. I get how most Joe collectors would prefer to have the actual toy, but the pops are fantastic. I really wish that would continue the line.

Darth Vader says AI is the future of the Republic. Troopers shouldn't worry about their jobs, their privacy, or anything else. After all the Republic will be watching, I mean, looking out for you....

When Funko first started releasing My Hero Academia pops, I had absolutely no idea what it was. But I was seeing this Todoroki pop out every time I'd pop hunt at the mall and I was like this is the coolest pop I've ever seen. lol. I finally picked him up, but then I started having the hardest time trying to figure out how in the world do I photograph him. This was my attempt back in the day.

Good grief! Can we just stop already this week!?!?!

Peter Cullen has passed away at the age of 85. Best known as the legendary voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers, Cullen gave a voice to so many unforgettable characters across countless ’80s cartoons. He also provided the chilling vocalizations of the Predator and voiced K.A.R.R. on Knight Rider. A truly legendary voice that generations of fans will never forget. Cullen passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home surrounded by his loving family; a cause of death has not yet been disclosed. R.I.P. 🙏

This is an old concept photo that I did to square off Class 1A vs The League of Villains from My Hero Academia. I did this probably 4 or 5 years ago.

I was at my daughter's apartment today when I got an alert on my phone. Dolly Parton had passed away. It wasn't a huge shock as there have been rumors swirling about her health, but it's an astronomical loss to the human race.
Dolly to me wasn't just a musician, in fact to me it was the least interesting thing about her. (not dissing her music) To me, Dolly was a shining example of positivity and light in a world that is really lacking in that area. She helped kids in need with books. When wildfires devastated the Smoky Mountains, she was right there helping in the background. Much of what she did was behind the scenes to not draw attention to herself. When she did use her image, it was to draw attention to help others and to spread love and not hate. She tried to use her image as a celebrity to spread positivity rather than harvest hate. That is what we have lost today. Someone with that abundance of being a positive light. It's a sad day. It's up to us to try to be a little more positive, and add a little more light to this world so her loss doesn't cast quite so big of a shadow.

"Clark is who I am, Superman is what I can do."

What is your favorite version of Superman? I grew up watching Lois and Clark, so as much as I can't stand who Dean Cain has become over the years, that's my version of Superman in the back of my mind. Teri Hatcher definitely carried the show though.
