It's beginning to look a lot like 1986 around here... And it's great.
Supernatural, End of the World Thriller ANGEL EYES - Avaliable now: theshift.store/products/ang...
All the cracking chapter covers for ANGEL EYES from a group of amazing artists - best enjoyed in print: theshift.store/products/ang...
It's only taken about 5 years - but I finally have a passable website for all the creative work - with links to the YouTube hosted videos for ANGEL EYES and LOOKING AT THE MOON as well as Graphic Novel purchases - Also, some cool artwork - mostly some cool artwork...

If you like your Graphic Novels to be World Ending, Demonic, Action-Packed Thrill Rides then ANGEL EYES might just be for you.

After almost three years since they were last in the wild all NINE chapters of ANGEL EYES are now live on the old YouTube - So, if demonic, end of the world motion comics are your thing check them out.

And now some vintage toy action - not the super best example quality wise, but with a bit of cleaning and a few spare parts will be complete and since I never owned one back in the 80's very happy to have it now....
Finally a comic book post 😃 - began reading these as TPB’s a few years ago but never finished - I remember loving the story and art - so best way to read start to finish - Omnibus…
Lovely Toy for Easter... I think this was the first major update to the Falcon model after 1978 (The POTF2 reissue was just a paint job update I think). And this one is minty as well - lovely
Never owned this one back in the day - nice pack - love the Ewoks.
It's been a beat, but JINGLE SQUAD production is still rolling - some technical changes to be made on Chapter 4, but Chapter 5 is up and running now, @andylanning.bsky.social , @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @rorydraws4.bsky.social are getting the squad on as we head into the home stretch.
Couldn't resist this completely unnecessary purchase of probably the best SW toy from back in the day: All clean, All complete and bought from a real bricks and mortar shop - which was nice for a change - Got to love a Falcon...
The only problem with this book is that it will force me to by the other two books in the series that complete the animated compendiums…
Not sure my cat is as impressed by this book as I am... UK Transformers Compendium. Again, I have the IDW reprints from a few years back, but just couldn't resist, will look cracking next to the 2 US ones on the shelf.
One of my biggest regrets as a toy collector was selling these back in the day. But after almost 15 years I own them again (although the upside down Anakin might need a look 😀) - Can't explain why I like them so much - but I do...
And along came Sentinal Prime. Not as cool as Nemesis Prime in terms of the colours, but since the completest in me would get annoyed at not having a full run, so this was something of a predictable purchase.
I love the innovation & IMO the Smart Brick has been engineered brilliantly. I think the set designers have created a fun good looking build, and as cool as the laster & hyperdrive sounds are (& they are), this still feels a little light - Interesting to see what Non-IP sets and updates bring.
So, this one can only be classified as an impulse purchase, I had said, only mainline Missing Link figures - but it is pretty cool and I suppose, technically the first Decepticon figure in the line.
With the impending (albeit several months away) start of a new series of M.A.S.K comics couldn't resist revisiting the originals - still great today and such amazing covers
Never even knew this 'variant' existed back in 2005. It still amazes me, that after more than 30 years of collecting SW figures I still find new things...
What evil CEO doesn't travel in their own pink helicopter while wrapped up in a Polar Bear sink coat.... @rorydraws4.bsky.social / @andylanning.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social smashing it on JINGLE SQUAD.
OK - So this is super exciting. Loved these comics and toys back in the 80's. Was so disappointed with how the IDW revival went a few years back, so I hope Skybound/Image give these guys a real good crack - can't wait to see how they rock up in the Energon Universe...
Things are really going red in JINGLE SQUAD as the action ramps up and S*&% Gets Real for the Squad - Awesome colours from @rorydraws4.bsky.social
Where there is one, there's the other... so they say. Never owned this pair back in the day so very happy to have them now.
This fella is a real cracker and none too easy to find these days.
And back to London we go - the colours for JINGLE SQUAD chapter 4 are coming in thick and fast now from @rorydraws4.bsky.social. Roughly 10 more pages to go and then over to @robjoneswrites.bsky.social to work his magic while @andylanning.bsky.social & I crack on with Chapter 5 script edits...
So this one really needs to come with its own Money Bin to keep it in - What a book - and with a Lucky Dime in the slip case as well 😀
Well - Thats all the Loyal Subjects MASK (main line) together at last...
