McDonald’s Changeables

McDonald's has recently brought back Changeables to it's Happy Meal toy line up. This is technically the 4th set of these with the previous sets being released in 1987, 1989, and 1990. So, thirty five years ago. Seeing as these are technically Transformers, they are popular with a lot of folks who like Transformers. They also are just, generally cooler than a lot of McDonald's Happy meal offerings. I have a sort of random assortment of the previous Changeables, and I wanted to take a bit of a quick look at them, and how they compare to the modern offerings.…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.10.25)

It's a Trove of Transformers Edition. Or something like that. I've got two main things this week, Toys and Coding, so we'll go with those first. But first, in general random rambling. A while back I randomly wrote about my nice Water Bottle. I got it, last year I think, with some gratis credit in the work.brand store. We got another credit this year, and I was going to get a nice hoodie but it sold out between adding to my cart and checking out. So I just got another water bottle, one for home, one for work.

Then the next morning I was putting dishes in the dishwasher thinking, "No wait, I guess yesterday (Tuesday) was Sunday, because I am going to work today, so the next day thing isn't so bad." "Wait, its Wednesday." I had…

What I’ve Been Up To

I am still not dead. Sorry. Just… Not really in a "write about games and toys" mood. Hard as I try, I cannot be the "this is fine" dog while the world burns around me. What I Have Been Playing Infinity Nikki I think there have been a few larger updates. If I understand properly, the next update is the last one before we get the first "Big update", which will probably be a whole new large zone. The end of the main story teases like 5 or 6 other large zones or something. I don't remember. I have basically…

SH Figuarts – Naruto Ichiraku Ramen Set

For a variety of reasons, the bottom has basically dropped out on my collecting. Some of its finances based, some of it is just kind of, saturation, I guess. I also feel like my interests in what I buy has entered a kind of weird abstract and less focused area. Some things I have been somewhat keeping up interest in is props.and accessories. Maybe I will actually start using them to take cool photos more, but for now, I have been collecting them for a while. Sometimes its cheap sets from Five Below, sometimes its exotic items like a fancy…
