Super behind today, but I've got this going for me, anyway.

The Spokane Toy Show was last Saturday; the day before Mother's Day: I think they even tried to pitch it as "bring mom!" but that seems like traditionally a tough sell. Anyway, instead I went back to Montana, to see my mom, which was fun. Then, this is also the time of year when I start biking more: I'm at 20-30 miles a day; which does eat up a bit of the afternoon. All this means, I'm not sure I've even read anything this week!

I did get a G.I. Joe Tiger Force Outback while in Montana, and a couple more Fortnite figures; but I wanted to get this guy out again:  Dark Voyager is actually one of my favorite figures of the last few years! He's not perfect, but a black-suited astronaut? That's just neat. Still, looking it up: there were other character variations in the Space Explorers set; including a girl Voyager and a orange "Mission Specialist" version; the latter gives real Space: 1999 vibes.
Ah, I had forgotten: Leviathan was a lot of the same mold! I still would've bought others, though; like red or white, like Lego mini-figure astronauts. Why did I give Dark Voyager a smaller version of himself...I don't know. It's not kid-sized; together they look like a really bad ventriloquism act.

Anyway, today I hope to slog my way through work, then maybe bike out to Target and see if they have the Tracksuit Mafia Marvel Legends. That and I may have one or more boxes of nonsense arriving; although the Wal-Mart Star-Lord seems late. We'll maybe get some comics read this weekend. You should too!

That Tiger Force Outback figure sure looks pretty damn good actually from what I’ve seen. If you use your imagination, you can pretend he’s old man Outback going out on one last mission he may or not not come back from.

That Dark Voyager figure looks pretty cool as well. Solid design & paint apps. You definitely don’t see a lot of dark-suited astronauts outside of Star Wars maybe?

Be safe out there biking.
