Poe’s Point Special > Toy Fair 2010
It would be impossible and way too much work for me to cover all the awesome stuff coming out of this year’s Toy Fair. The awesomeness seems to be hearkening back to the good old days of the early 2000s…anyway, instead of trying to list everything, I’m just going to hit the highlights of the [...]
Odds ‘n Ends > Two-Year Anniversary Edition
Happy anniversary to me! Today marks the two-year anniversary of PGPoA, and I decided to splurge on some new graphics. Poester MechaShiva provided all the new artwork around the site.

Love the face sculpt on Ultraman, but seriously, does anyone really want that [...]
