If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com.

Today’s Teefury shirt is so awesome, my head bulged momentarily from near-explosion. While I go see a doctor about that, you order this. It’ll be gone in thirteen hours, so order soon!

Dudes with his build and facial hair hanging around extremely hot chicks all the time screams “porn star” to me. [...]
Apologies for the lateness of my reporting, folks. I’ll have more for you tomorrow. For now, feel free to peruse my Toy Fair pics and post your comments here. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the toys, too–I’ll do my best to answer them.

The other side of the room–really a glorified closet–is about eighteen inches to my right. I’ve just finished uploading about ninety pics from Hasbro’s Collector’s Event today, [...]
