Toy King Pics?

Is this the actual Toy King of WW?

I think so, but not 100 percent sure. At any rate, he’s bussed off now to unknown dimensions and I am the new Toy King, or Baker( Block or Beach) is (Martel very close to Mattel). I have chosen to assume that Mantel; take up the charge. To expose the sole Loch Ness islands for what they are: man and dog united forever and ever. Caledonia be dammed.

Gene Fade The Mossman will probably push Baker (me) to become the new Toy King. Gene Fade is part of the Masters of the Universe, as he is conscious of at least now. He wishes to join his colleagues’ fight against Lego. He might even wish to help with the projected MotU film. Why wouldn’t he?

Hucka D.:

The Mmmmmm’s go where Gene Fade and The Mossmen go. The latter may have even created the former — we’re not sure[ yet]. And then the marbles roll along as well.

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I’ll claim this[ one]. Lula Barbee is Rich. She even owns The Moon.

bb:

The marbles are from 3rd life. Ensouled avatars, once more. But 3d and real, unlike Second Life avatars. Strange that First Life, obviously, is real, and 3rd Life seems to be real but Second Life is not. Baker Block, I suppose.

Hucka D.:

Marbles got sick of Second Life avatar do-ups and went to 3rd which turned out to be first. Through the back door.

bb:

Rolled out again, eh.

Hucka D.:

Uncyclopedic. Awesome.

Hucka D., the spheres of the Russell related animation I reproduce here…

… remind me of the marbles Little Bill holds on a fork in Greenup 11, revolved around by 8 tulips.

‘Cept here they are red, green, blue instead of red, yellow, blue. Same idea, though.

Hucka D.;

You will hold the same in Dumpport, out above The River. Orange you glad you asked.

bb:

It’s apparently the same 3 marbles as in Greenup17, also pictured above. Those are the only 2 collages of the Greenup series featuring marbles, and both of the red, green, and blue variety. These are perhaps the 3 original or Ur marbles.

Hucka D.:

Correct.

bb:

Later they join forces with yellow, actually, to form the true TILE waterfall pictured in Newton09.

And just to be complete about this, they only clearly appear together in one other Art 10×10 collage: Newton07.

And the most recent TILE Waterfall and perhaps the truest has been discussed in this October post, Hucka D. And on Bill Creek. Queer[ once more].

2014: Lego becomes “king of toys”, surpassing Mattel.

http://www.thekarachiite.com/2014/09/lego-crowned-the-undisputed-king-of-toys/

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mattel lost out to Lego because of the decreasing interest in their Barbie brand. Lego capitalized on the hit blockbuster film ‘The Lego Movie’ that released in February of this year to much critical acclaim.

Lego may have won the battle against Mattel but the war is far from over… Their recent victory was a slight one, so Mattel still has a fighting chance. Does a Barbie film sound like a good idea?

There have been reports in the media about a ‘Masters of the Universe’ film currently in the works, which would be a reboot of the 1987 film of the same name. With the recent success of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, Mattel may consider the ‘Masters of the Universe’ franchise to appeal to a more male demographic. If they can make a series of films on these two classic toy-lines, then the California-based company can take the fight straight to Lego.

For now however, Lego is the undisputed King!

Now the *real* King of Toys, or one I call simply the Toy King…

This weekend…

… will probably head to Ashville/Middletown again. My thought is to revisited Dead Center Hill, perhaps making a crude map, even. Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Visit island below hill in Wilson River. Go to WW College and look for signs of Toy King. Also want to go to Richmond Hill mentioned in a recent blog post on the subject. Don’t think I need to head to Alexfin or Bentmore again. Save some surprises until later. The new Walter Russell- Swanna-nowhere tie in is a surprise. Another possibility is visiting the controversial land near Bill Creek, the one that may be developed. See what’s there; take pics. Go through or across TILE Falls.
