looking on toy forums always makes me feel even more like white trash than i normally feel. when im at work i am working my ass off nonstop for a starting wage of $7 an hour im 40 and have never had a job where i even had access to a computer. im always amazed when i see people posting from work because they are bored, damn my life sucks.


At least you aren't paying my wages with your taxes. :-D And the only reason that I am not busy is because of the ebb and flow of available funding. Come next march I'll be working 12 hour days and weekends for no more pay than I am making now - if it makes you feel better. :-/

Wouldn't feel right about putting him in the gallery - he's more joke than joe right now, and a test of what can be done with simple tools to create articulation.

But maybe he'd make a good "Materials Protection specialist".

believe me i dont mean anything towards you, its just pure envy and jealousy. im a hater and i hate it about myself. its just the world i live in everyone i know works hard physical jobs everyone has back problems or other health problems from years of physically laboring jobs , no one i know has jobs where they ever get to sit or have a desk and computer that they ever get to use. but when i get home and get online to go into my toy collecting world theres often people making bored posts from work and i just wonder where me and my friends all went wrong.

Also, I'm pretty sure everyone on the planet can get some dung if they really need it. At worst, all it takes is some time and Taco Bell.

Are mine, or is this provincial? Either way, I support the tax-funded foam man project.

Hopefully the lull at work lasts long enough to see the side-kick and the arch-nemesis come to fruition...

It may be the most popular thing I work on this year.

Provincial Government. Heading up to an election everyone is worried to start anything, though foam man was ok, because I completed him this quarter before the election was called.

Perhaps I will get time to do a foam-fatale for him to be up against, but for the moment things are picking up.

I took a first shot at Foam-Fatale today, and I am not very pleased with the results.

It made me think of the Spy Troops Lady Jaye, where putting in the articulation really messed up the proportions of the figure. Trying to make the legs proportionate and still hold up the weight of the figure was extremely difficult, and I ended up putting her in legwarmers, just to get a lower leg heavy enough to support the weight of the figure.

How do real women even stand up anyway with those tiny little legs?

So I am going to try a Foam-Fatale 2.0 when I get the chance to stick it all together. I put together a razor knife for the cutting and hopefully it will result in a little better looking joints. I may even upscale the figure a little as well to better hide the joints.

Anyway, Foam Man has a rival/love interest to make his days of looking at my excel spreadsheets slightly more interesting.

Ha! She's awesome. "Foam Fatale was frozen during a skiing incident in the '80's. Now free, she seeks revenge on the man she loved but now blames for the accident... Foam-Man."
