Toyark's Off The Shelf Returns - Godzilla, DC, Transformers, Black Panther, NES Hockey Jersey and More

Reviving a long forgotten feature I used to run. Random, hopefully enjoyable, nerd stuff.

Yay, I loved these things. Like a top of the hour run down for nerd news.

I really hope he shaves his head at some point. The wig destroys the actually ok makeup.

Apparently, according to (iirc) the actor, Brainiac-5's appearance is going to change over the course of the couple of episodes he's in, including turning more green.

Thanks everyone who checked this out. Hope you enjoyed it. Quick question. How often would you want to see this type of content? Semi-daily, a handful of times a times a week, once a week?

K Dubious · 01-10-2018, 09:56 AM

I think since it is somewhat of a round up weekly would be great, but I visit the site daily and wouldn't be opposed to looking into these as often as you would like to post them.

I think that toy collecting bleeds into many other things and this post is a great example.

Looking forward to more of these regardless of frequency.

pretty much this, boss.

seems like a great avenue for things not exactly toys, but still cool enough to showcase and discuss. injecting to new blood into the site as it were.

Yeah, an end of the week wrap up would be cool.

Holy spaceballs!!

Has it been four years since the last Off the Shelf?!

What have I been doing with my life... time sure does fly.

I guess to answer your question, is how much content do you want in each and how much additional work does it put on your plate?

Once a week is fine, maybe once a fortnight if it's a hassle.

It’s actually much easier now than it was then. Back then it would take a couple hours to do simply because backend software was a hassle. The new one took about an hour, so time isn’t an issue. Content is even easier to come across too.

Thanks, Joe! I assume that this is the sort of thing that you do when you have something that you feel like posting AND time to do it: a nice, if infrequent surprise, kinda like getting money in the mail (but different).
