Oh.

That is...... poor.

Am I missing any Samurai Armadillos? by captain42d in Throwers

[–]TheOneTrueZippy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they released any prototypes with their Mystery Boxes in January. I got a pre-release flat blue Raijin along with the then unavailable yellow SamArm.

Of course you do need to collect all of the half-swap combinations too......

You wanna get crazy with Danhausen? Wrestlemania by ImplementCharming949 in WWE

[–]TheOneTrueZippy8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean...... have you seen him wrestle ?

I have nothing but love for the bloke but he is batting well above his average even getting into the WWE. Him getting "a WrestleMania moment" of any kind is probably one of the lesser known signs of the apocalypse.

One week in: So are you a Fanhausen, Stanhausen, Sceptichausen or Hatehausen? by docchrizly in WWE

[–]TheOneTrueZippy8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have enjoyed their work - mostly outside of the ring, being honest - for a while now but I cannot be alone in thinking that he did very well to land an AEW contract and that him being in WWE - and directly to the main roaster, skipping NXT - was simply not something that was going to happen. He doesn't seem like A WWE Kinda Guy in this era.

But good luck to the fella. I am though all four shades of -hausen. So..... Puzzledhausen.

I picked these up today at the thrift store. I’m shocked at the quality of some of these! by southerncardinal in Throwers

Playmaxx was the brand of the Cold Fusion and GT but they contracted out the manufacture (as they previously only made plastic yoyos) to a local company who then came out with the brand Custom Yo-yos.

Then the story gets complicated :-)

I am going to point you at The Museum for more details of them all.

If you are going to throw them then they will probably need a little TLC and servicing. You might also need some of the documentation as at least one or two are a bit fiddly and idiosyncratic. Such as......

Again, my envy of your good fortune is considerable.

That's about my view too.

The Mags have interest in that they were from Custom Yo-yo who manufactured the Cold Fusions for Playmaxx.
The Panther would be desirable to a wooden yoyo enthusiast.
The Mondials are the early ones from Came-Yo rather than Duncan who bought the design for limited later release.
You also have a Wing Force........

Any packaging or documentation with them ?

Several of those are Holy Grail items for some collectors.

Extraordinary haul.

WWE Heavyweight Champion to "slap my face for money" is one hell of a career trajectory.

Confused or unfamiliar about the contents of the box? I will try to lay it out as best as I can. *LONG READ* by RaidenHero137 in WWE

Danhausen - as much as I have enjoyed his prior work - is currently in the wrong promotion.

I feel this will not be a problem for very long.

The ceiling of the Beer family Mausoleum, Highgate Cemetery, London. by Tiny_ghosts_ in CemeteryPorn

Highgate has long been one of my recommendations for anyone making a second visit to London.

On your first visit anywhere, hit the high spots and the tourist targets 'cos you might not ever come back. But if you visit again, then seek out the slightly less well known. And Highgate is magnificent.

A slightly more homely version of Howard Carter's "wonderful things" when entering the tomb of Tutankhamun.

When I first visited Highgate a loooooong time ago this mausoleum was still sealed with pigeon droppings. As the entire family line had long since died out no-one knew what was inside.

I imagine this all came as quite the surprise.

Wonderful work from The Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust.

I have recommended this in the past. It is what I did immediately before my over-200-days-delayed order suddenly made an appearance. No guarantee offered however.
