Being part of this amazing game I created a collage of my 1/6 scale action figures, all of them from different brands.
Why do I collect male dolls?
Just because they have been in my life since I was a child, specially action figures, fashion dolls came to me once I bought my 1st Ken, and as I mentioned in other post, only when I was 33 years I decided to get a Barbie.
Play with boys is easier and practical, never mind an earrings, make up, eyelashes, hairdos that's a matter of girls. I think there is more diversity of face sculpts for boys and more accessories too, such as cars, motorcycles, bikes, horses.
In the collage from left to right:

Meanwhile, at Boop's Scoops, the hoppingest place in town, business has picked up even more. With the war looming over Paprihaven, Boop's remains bright and cheerful.
But, of course, some bring their wars inside. Two big cliques in Paprihaven High, the Descendants and the Monsters, are having yet another heated exchange.
Mal: -honestly, Clawdeen, maybe you could try not being so monstrous before you and your yukky friends come out in public??
Clawdeen: WhatEVER!! You wannabes have been riding our popularity from the start. Don't forget who made you, Mal.
Evie: Unbelievable. They actually think they're popular. *giggle*
Jay: Yeah, monsters.
Cleo: This is getting too loud, Deuce. If we start trouble at Boop's we're all going to be regretting it.
Gail: We gotta find us a place to stay!
Sashya: I can recommend the bed and breakfast I stayed in the last time I was here. Assuming they have room available, it's a charming little place.
Gail: That sounds like the cat's meow, right there! Say, and what about transportation? What say we rent some motorcycles? That'd be fun, huh? You ladies know how to ride?
Sashya: Oh yes, I've used them often in my job.
Marie: Oui, Mademoiselle Gail, I too have a love for ze motorbike. Ze faster ze better, n'est-ce pas?
Gail: Now yer talkin!!
Betty Boop: We ain't evah go sell all dat chocolate Cloe!*
Cloe: I'm so sorry, Miss Boop!
Betty Boop: You!! Didn't ya read that sign out front? No shoes, no soivice! Take a hike!
Speedo Steel: I'm wearing boots.
Betty Boop: Ya ain't wearin no-... Whazzat?? Flesh colahed boots?? Tha resta ya 'outfit' ain't sayin much eitha!
Speedo Steel: I'm a rock star. This is my lawyer, she will sue you.
Agatha: One moment! First, Speedo dear, any crossing of the famed Betty Boop, in her own establishment no less, and I will drop you as a client faster than you can say 'Big Yank'. Now, Miss Boop, my name is Agatha Winterbottom, and I am a lawyer from Cooper's Town. Speedo is indeed my client on a completely unrelated matter** but I-
Betty Boop: Coopah's Town!! You mean youse a real Sindy from Coopah's Town?? Ya don't get no bettah 'n that!!
Agatha: -wanted... Oh, you flatter me Miss Boop when, in fact, the great thrill is mine to finally see you and your diner that is famous no matter where you go! In fact, I had planned to stop here so that I could present you with a small gift.
Betty Boop: A gift! From Coopah's Town?? My happy day!
Speedo Steel: Big Yank.
Newton: (thinking) What just happened? Does this woman actually think she can stop me from removing Speedo from the Nexus?? With a lawsuit??

There is nothing quite like Boop's Scoops during its busy times. Of course the primary reason to select Boop's from among the myriad of dining choices in Paprihaven is the food. But, especially when it is busy, (And Boop's has well earned its nickname of 'the hoppingest place in town'), the atmosphere is thrilling.
The jukebox is rarely quiet. There is the rather loud level of conversations punctuated here and there by even louder bursts of laughter and applause. There are the clatter of shoes and cries of delight from the dance floor. Boop's Scoops is simply a happy place to be.
Derrick: -so RC* should be here pretty soon. Don't know if we'll be able to squeeze him in the booth here.
Cloe: I heard him say he's with Shasta** tonight so they'll probably want to be all romancy anyway. At least I hope so. I hope Ronnie's over that terrible Carol girl.***
Maisie: Oh, RC and Shasta are just meant to be together, I just know it!
Vince: Like me and Helen!**** Say, Cloe, we gotta get our feed trough goin here. Took forever ta get a table, and we gotta be back at the barracks in just a little over an hour!
Cloe: I know, it's so busy, you know how it is. What do you guys want? I'll get the order in for you and see if I can't push it up the priority queue.
Vince: Haw! You're a doll, Cloe! Grape's had his ugly mug buried in the menu so let him order first!

Jun: Wow, you're really eating your second Big Yank! It's kind of rare that someone can finish one!
Gail: HA! I been waiting to try this since Sashya recommended it! And, let me tell ya, it was better than I even thought! I had ta order a second!
Sashya: *giggle* Gail, you're so delightful! You're so energetic and colorful.
Marie: Oui, the American lady is... you would say, 'gung ho', n'est-ce pas?
Gail: Oh, I'm gung ho all right and I am LOVIN Paprihaven!
Jun: *giggle* It's always so fun to meet people who are brand new to Paprihaven!
Gail: Well, Sashya here is on her second trip! That's her photo on the wall!*
Jun: WOW!! I heard that almost no one ever leaves Paprihaven once here. I've certainly never known anyone to.
Sashya: Well, I am beyond pleased to be back, Miss Jun. There was no question that Boop's was to be my first stop, and then I was blessed to meet such lovely new friends as Marie** and Gail***, and now to have such an engaging young lady as yourself serve us is just the icing on the cake!
Jun: And, we have cake too! *giggle*

SMACK!
Jacqueline: nnngh!!
Captain Marvel: (thinking) They probably think that was a display of Mary's strength. They don't understand it was pretty big demonstration of her control. They're like dandelions to us. Mary had to control her power so that lady just got knocked flat instead of evaporated.
TV: That's always your excuse. How about you leave an hour earlier next time you're supposed to be somewhere. Or take the bus.*
Carlos: SUPERS!! I knew it!! This Paprihaven is full of supers!! Even the kids are supers!! I dropped my gun! I give up!! Just arrest me or whatever and GET ME OUT OF PAPRIHAVEN!!!
Cloe: Is... is Billy going to protect us? They're still standing there... they still have guns...
Meygan: Don't worry. Billy will protect us.
Carol: NO! We can still kill them!!
Matilda: Are you crazy?? I'm surrendering too!
TV: Well I'm not dressing up in that clown blouse again just because she can't show up in time.
Betty Boop: Kuby... oh, Kuby, those dogs... Are ya-
Kubla Khan: I'm okay, Betty. My jacket is more than ornamental. I... acquired it from a gentleman in the Himalayas quite some years back. It is nearly impenetrable. I'll have contusions on my arms, but I'm fine.
Betty Boop: Oh, thank goodness! I was-
Kubla Khan: They meant to kill you and the children, Betty. This will not stand.
Carol: (thinking) NO!! How can this be?? I had planned everything to prove to Harley that I'm not the next expendable fifth!!** She kept going on about how Boop's was untouchable*** so I wanted to make a statement. I set up three dozen false alarms around the city to draw any supers away. We were going to slaughter Betty Boop and everyone in the diner. That would have shown Harley who I am! But... those children were super?? NO!!! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!!
Carol: OPEN FIRE!!!!
Eva: NO!!!
Ken: PLEASE NO!!!
Turk: YEAH!! Kill em all!! We're goin ta jail anyhow!!
Jay: PLEEEAAASE!!!
BRRRRAAAAPPP!!!

*** As Harley explained in issue 676!
During the American Revolutionary War, Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly. They were selected from militia muster rolls by their commanding officers. Typically 25 years of age or younger, they were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength.

Ready for missions that include direct air support, antitank, armed escort, and air to air combat. Now they're going in a support mission for the MH-60G.

Undertaker: “Another time, another place, punks.”
Scully: “Thank you, Mark, I-“
Undertaker: “Undertaker.”
Scully: “-wanted… sorry, Undertaker. Anyway, yes. Another time, another place.”
Junkyard Jack: “Whatchu lookin at, boy? Slow that piece o trash bike down if you want some!”
Carlos: “Whoooo-weee, girly, you come ride with me! I can’t say you’ll enjoy it but I sure will! HAHAHA!!!”
Scully: “Just drive, Mark.”
Undertaker: “Won’t take but a minute and we’ll be doin Paprihaven a fav-“
Scully: “It also won’t take ‘but a minute’ for the Necronomicon to fall into the wrong hands! And if it does, Paprihaven, us, and everyone else is doomed! And if we arrive just too late to prevent that because you wanted to stop and rumble with some bikers then wouldn’t we be a disgrace!”
Undertaker: *grumbles* “Fine.”
VRRRRRROOOOOMMMMMMMM
The Arch Yobs. A gang of ruffian thugs that spread terror wherever they go. And now they have their sights set on Paprihaven. They think they are arriving under their own choice, unaware that they are puppets. Now awake, the evil presence in Thistle Deep reaches out with foul tentacles, calling and inexorably drawing villains from the most distant places to descend on Paprihaven like a malevolent army.
Carlos: “HAHAHA!! Look alive boys, that’s a peaceful little town nestled up ahead! What say we ruin it?”
Scar: “Time to bring the pain!!!”
Junkyard Jack: “We need to stock up first. Plus I need some mean dogs.”
Miss Fear: (thinking) Finally. I do not know if it is a curse or blessing to be in such a remote place. It's actually quite deserted. I won't have to worry about Russian soldiers. If this all turns out to be true I will soon be on a train to Paprihaven and not have to live this war any longer.
Sgt. Yamaji (thinking): I don't know about any of this. I know I want to go to Paprihaven but I'm not sure how this works. How will I know the train? What am I doing here in Russia? Is that Russian lady inside calling soldiers?

Built 1979 for the Aviacion de Ejercito Argentino (Argentine Army) and served with them as AE-334. She was allocated to Escuadrón de Aviación de Exploración y Ataque 602 and was deployed to the Falklands during 1982 to support the Argentine invasion of the Islands. She was captured by British Forces at Port Stanley racecourse on 14th June 1982 and subsequently transported to the UK on HMS Fearless, arriving on 13th July 1982. She was then taken directly to Yeovilton and placed on display in the Fleet Air Arm Museum by the 20th July 1982.
In 1984 she was given the British military serial ZE410 and employed by 8 Flight of the Army Air Corps (see details below). Retired in 2009, she was stored at Middle Wallop before joining the museum in 2014. She is on display wearing the civilian type colour scheme worn when serving with 8 Flight.
Army Flying Museum
Middle Wallop, Hampshire, UK.
21st August 2020
The following information on ZE410 while serving with 8 Flight is from www.eliteforces.info:-
“This helicopter was one of two captured from the Argentinians during the 1982 Falklands Conflict. Other A109s were purchased and bringing the 8 Flight fleet up to 4 airframes. This secret AAC unit was stationed at Hereford to provide the 22nd Special Air Service (22 SAS) with a dedicated rotary air wing. The A109s of 8 Flight used civilian-style paint jobs in order to blend in with normal air traffic, enabling SAS troops to move covertly on domestic operations.
One of 8 Flight's roles was to support 22 SAS's counter terrorism mission. 8 Flight A109s could be fitted with a roping frame to facilitate fast-rope insertion by the SAS Special Projects Team. This frame, fitted above the port cabin doorway, allows for a Mk4 deplaning rope (40 ft, 50 ft, 60 ft or 90 ft length) to be attached and used. The frame features a Quick Release Mechanism (QRM) which allows for the rope to be disconnected in an emergency.
8 Flight switched to a fleet of AS365N Dauphin helicopters in 2009. The unit itself expanded into 658 Squadron AAC in 2013.”
Miss Fear: Paprihavenに行くの？
Sgt. Yamaji: はい...
Miss Fear: なぜあなたはまだそのひどい制服を着ていますか？
Sgt. Yamaji: 私... 私がチケットを受け取ったとき、私の服を交換する時間はなかった。 私はすぐにここに来なければならなかった。
Miss Fear: Hm.
Miss Fear (thinking): A Japanese Gunso!!
Sgt. Yamaji (thinking): A Chinese lady! She will have me arrested for sure!
Scar: “Hey boss, what’s first? Fun with the ladies or a little bloodlettin?”
Carlos: “Look sharp. Here come some potential victims!”
Junkyard Jack: “Hey baby!”
The Spirit: “Uh oh…”
Buffy: “We don’t have time for this, I hope Undertaker ignores them.”
Carlos: “That’s a pretty seat cover ya got there! Mind if we take her!? HAHAHA!!!”
Scar: “There’s more in the car behind em! Woooo, they look tasty!”
Machiko: “Please stop, Spirit! Pleeeease!!! I won’t be long, I promise!”
The Spirit: “Dana’s in charge. If they don’t stop, we’re not stopping.”
This Air Force Technical Sergeant (E-6) is a member of the 18th Weather Squadron. He wears a gray colored beret with flash and combat weather crest. This picture was taken in 2007 when the standard Air Force field uniform was still the woodland pattern camouflage Battle Dress Uniform (BDU). He wears a black colored undershirt. On his left chest he wears a basic level parachutist's badge (TOP) and senior level meteorologist badge (BOTTOM) above the U.S. Air Force branch tape. The 18th Weather Squadron unit patch is worn on the left pocket and the Air Combat Command patch is worn on the right pocket. Rank chevrons are worn on both sleeves. Since members of this squadron support Army units they are allowed to wear Army unit patches of the units they are currently assigned to support on the left sleeve. If they have previously been assigned to support an Army unit in combat they are authorized to wear a combat patch on the right sleeve. When photographed this Technical Sergeant was working with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division so he wears that unit's patch on the left. He wears the Army 4th Infantry Division patch on the right indicating he had formerly served in combat while serving with that unit. With the introducion of the Airman Battle Uniform the practice of wearing Air Force command and squadron patches and Army unit patches has changed.
The 18th Weather Squadron provides weather support to the Army's XVIII Airborne Corps, 18th Aviation Brigade, 82d Airborne Division, 82d Combat Aviation Brigade, and their units in garrison and in a tactical field environment. The squadron trains and maintains readiness to deploy worldwide to support aviation and ground combat operations. They manage four geographically separated subordinate units. The Commander, 18th Weather Squadron, as Staff Weather Officer to XVIII Airborne Corps, controls all meteorological and oceanographic assets of the Corps and subordinate units (during wartime). The 18th Weather Squadron commander also oversees support to the Military District of Washington, the US Army Transportation Center, US Army Armor School, and the US Army Aviation Center.

I made this guy earlier on with a Max Steel fig, but the longer I looked at that one, the more I despised it, and made the conclusion that the first Dreadnok I bought as a kid, deserved a WAY better go. So here he is!!! Personally I think this is my best custom so far and make my others look like pooh :P

When men got the idea they were blessed beyond measure or 'holier than thou' they got the idea they should conquer the world to unite it and share their greatness with all. However it turned into nothing more than selfish gain, they wanted to control the world they found and discovered believing the other tribes were primitive and needed authority over them. Freedom was a concept never known even in the prime age, most lived by a certain ruling that barred the idea of individuality and allowance for having different views of things. Empires as early as the Akkadian empire or the Egyptian empire, empires allowed construction of advanced buildings and engineering for advancing their civilization beyond all. Empires ruled in dynasties which spanned a millennium of rule or two before their empire was overrun by a new and more powerful one. Emperors had this idea they were gods amongst men causing some to believe they were angels come to the earth to rule amongst mortals. Empires formed society which formed a pyramid of ranks like the military. The highest rank in society was the emperor, below him was the chancellor, below the chancellor was the senate, below the senate were the nobles, below the nobles were the malitia, below the malitia were the servants, below the servants were the guards, below the guards were the common folk, below the common folk were the slaves and below the slaves were the beggars. Such segragation would echo across the next two ages, this was a time when mankind became haughty and indifferent. In the post-Eon of Mankind that was this age, Empires rode forth to try and change civilizations even reform the culture of different lands to their standards. Eventually the celts who were suddenly scattered across Europe helped to shrink the roman military, the gauls 'aka' goths from Eastern Europe rode in to smite the roman's for their greed, insanity and haughty indifference. Christianity rose up at the dusk of the imperial age after a man named Jesus Christ taught people who desired a more peaceful and loving world. The roman's were too traditional and prideful to accept the early christians so they had Jesus crucified and the Christians persecuted. Yet as rome fell to the ride of the gothic mantle and the sword of death believed to be given by their god of death or as Christians called it 'the sword of Sariel, the angel of death.' The aztecs were but a savage tribe of people who overthrew the toltecs and took their capital now present day mexico city, the aztecs were only defeated by white men. The Incans also rose up as they became the quicker learning tribe of south america, but their empire was ended by their foolishness when white man came. Empires created a legion to make certain their empire would never fall and that all would run in fear before their mighty malitia. The normans came to Europe bringing worry to the romans about their empire being taken over by an empire from the east. The germans did create a land mass of their own but made it into a kingdom instead of an empire. The romans found sporting events like chariot races, arena battles and colloseum events; the greeks were the founders of discus, gymnastics, ball sports, horse races and hurdling. Also in this age was the creation of theatre, tragedies, comedies and epics. Empires segregated their people for reasons they were not of thier people, nor within their empire or even one of them, this became the very thing that would cause problems socially in our future. The imperial age was ended.
