October Horrors, Pt. 6: Dissection of a Kiss
I bought this figure a few months back for the giant 'I' packaged in the lower left - I wanted to give it to Zatanna as a table (more on that here).
Here's the figure intact with all his accessories. Don't get attached.
Almost immediately, the figure's lower arm snapped off. I didn't have much interest in keeping the figure intact anyway, so I decided to salvage the parts.
The head is fascinating. Despite being a traditional action figure in most respects, the head is actually more like a typical doll's: soft, hollow plastic with rooted hair.
He also came with this delightful spear.
I've kept everything except the green fuzz. I have no idea how much of this stuff I'll get around to using, but you never know.

October Horrors, Pt. 5: Another Day, Another Bin
I'm pretty sure every collector has a bin like this containing extra build-a-figure and collect-and-connect parts. I hope to finish some of these figures eventually.

October Horrors, Pt. 3: Pandora's Toy Bin
This is, in Lindsay's own words, the bin of shit she's going to turn into something. I grabbed a picture from both sides, so you can fully appreciate the effect. For the record, I didn't shift, move, or rearrange anything before taking these pictures. What you see is what I came across.
Bonus game: Can you find both headless dinosaurs in the above pictures?

October Horrors, Pt. 2: I... See... You.......
In case anyone was wondering how Lt. Malcolm Reed was doing since I repurposed his playset as a Bat-Computer....
I deconstructed him a day or two after taking the original pictures. Hey, I was curious how he worked.
This has been floating around the apartment in more or less its current state for a couple months now. I have tentative plans to use this as a base for a custom project I have planned. Until then, I kind of like it this way.

October Horrors, Pt. 1: Scalped
All right. It's October. That means I have to do something for Halloween. Since I don't have to time to write another multi-part horror epic about dolls and ponies, I figured I'd just take some pictures of stuff around the apartment. Hey - I'm busy these days.
So. Here's the first of a whole bunch of pictures exploring the darker side of toy customizing.
This is an extra Powergirl I won in an eBay lot. While removing the cape, her hair popped off. I'm leaving her like this until I come up with a good custom project.
