Dan Polydoris is a lifelong toy collector and writer. All the way back in 2010, he started a website called Death by Toys which he intended to be a place for him to write about his toy news and to showcase the occasional custom action figure he created.
As time went by, his batches began to sell out faster and faster. Eventually, he began really focusing on making custom action figures and it paid off. Death by Toys has developed into a line of collectibles known for its affinity for the strange, offbeat, and absurd.

"I read some comics, but I am not really a ‘comic nerd'," Dan told Bored Panda. "I'd definitely fall more into the ‘toy nerd' bucket. When I was a kid in the '80s, I'd go through my friends' X-Men or Batman comics, and I'd really only recognize the characters from having already owned their figures (despite having no clue who the hell they were)."
The creator doesn't know if there's really a good figure or a bad figure. "I think it all comes down to what type of toy/aesthetic you dig," he explained. "For me, I love a good simple, vintage action figure in the 3-3/4” scale with classic 5-point articulation (specifically from the '80s)."

"Though your average hit rate is about 1 out of every 100 homes you visit, and even though it's common knowledge that the vast majority of people have no desire to covert (and if they did, they'd seek out a JW, not just hope that one shows up at the front door so you can convert)". on a side note, I'd be interested to see stats on how many door to door JW' suffer from assault, robbery, or worse? We're in a time where no one just drops by your house anymore, with the exception of solicitors and witnesses, and at least for me,the I requested visits really turn me off to JW'. But that's just me.

I'm told they keep at it because rejection is a gain of some sort. "though men shall revile you... " type thing. In other words, they can't lose. How nice for them. lol

The last time they showed up at my front gate, they wanted to talk to me about the "suffering in the world." I told them if they weren't the AT&T tech, I wasn't interested.

I called their Hall, or whatever they call it and asked what time services were. Then I said if they come here again and interrupt my work I would be down there to disrupt services.
Basically, anything that captures that old-school vibe is pretty much at the top of his list. "But I wouldn't look at something that's on the opposite spectrum (i.e. something super detailed or highly articulated) as being bad. I actually think they're great, but I'm too in love with all things vintage to dabble in much current stuff."
His love for the craft began when Dan started repurposing his vintage Star Wars figures to look like old NES characters around 2012 before his first kid was born. "I posted them online and people asked to buy them. I sold my second set to my good friend and fellow toy designer, Dano Brown, and then basically just kept making toys since."

[url=https://tsamuelsroofing.com/]Commercial and Indusutrial roofing[/url] offers a wide range of commercial and industrial roofing services, including asbestos roofing, built-up felt systems, cladding in Hackney, and high-level access. Their expertise extends to roof maintenance, repairs, and surveys in Tottenham and Enfield, with solutions like flat-to-pitched roof conversion, liquid applied waterproofing, and single-ply roofing systems, all ensuring quality and safety.

However, it wasn't just talent. Dan has really put in the hours to perfect his skills. Looking back, he thinks that the constantly trying out new things was what has helped him improve the most. Whether it's a new process like resin casting with pressure or veering into (or out of) different categories like horror, humor, the Bible, public domain characters or whatever. "This stuff is all so fun to do, so I feel fortunate that people have stayed on board as I've continued to explore new ways to make weirdo stuff."
Unfortunately, his store is completely empty now. "Everything I make sells out instantly, so I'm trying to work to keep it stocked, but Death by Toys is literally just a one-person operation. And sometimes I try to eat or sleep." So if you're craving one of his designs, you better follow the project closely!

Can somebody get me this for my babyshower? My inlaws would have a panic attack. I bet my grandmother in law faints and my uncle in law immediately turns on FoxNews to cleanse the air. It will be fantastic.

This is a photo of an actual accident that happened in Montreal, Canada. The train went through the station and couldn't stop. Late 1800's early 1900's... Never thought I would see this in a section geared to comedy...

Ray Bower is the dead child who the main characters in the classic film Stand by Me go looking for. Why post 'What is this?' instead of doing a simple search online. It's a marvelous film based on the Stephen King short story The Body. In the same collection (Different Seasons) you will also find two other stories that were made into great films, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil. The forth story The Breathing Method has yet to be filmed. (that wasn't Googled either, it's called having a basic knowledge of popular culture).

I'm not really too sure if you are having a bad day or you are just always rude to people on the internet. The person who asked might have good knowledge of pop culture and not know what stand by me is about. A movie that is 34 year's old is definitely not going to register as pop culture to many people. I personally think it's a great movie but likely would never have seen it only my older sister was mildly obsessed with river phoenix. Lastly some people would rather ask another human a question than googling it
