Last weekend I was out exploring and found a wicked Comic shop not too far from the Squid Farm. Comic shops tend to carry action figures, A.K.A scale drivers. While I didn’t find any new drivers, I did stumble across something new that I haven’t seen before. Cardboard pop-up dioramas for 6”-7” inch figures, that also happens to be the [...]

Axialfest Badlands 2022 was a polar opposite from 2021. 2021 was a mud fest filled with rain, when this year’s Axialfest Badlands was dry and hot. And that’s just the weather, this year’s event had more venders, along with one of the biggest night runs I have ever seen. The dry conditions made for fantastic crawling in the quarry with [...]
