1. I’m going to be a dad.
Nothing changes your perspective on life like realizing that another living being is going to be relying completely on you for sustinence. And that you are essential in shaping that life. Scary and exciting at the same time.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything on the designer toy side of things, but this Chetrooper bust from UrbanMedium is absolutely insane.
