Welcome to the blog side of Phylum Machina. I intend this to be paired with the Tumblr side of things ( http://phylummachina.tumblr.com/ ) as the wordier, reviewer-y side of things. Because Tumblr is great for comics and quick pics, and not so much for largish reviews of 'HEY GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY CLOSET.'
This is going to be a toy blog. There are going to be a lot of things dredged from the closet toy bucket, along with newer things I happen to pick up along the way. My focus is toys, but the actual toys I'll look at post stuff on, etc. are varied-I've been collecting Transformers for a little over a decade, I have an enormous fondness for robots (see the blog and Tumblr titles), and I've recently gotten into dolls due to my online buddy Hat.
Thanks, Hat.
(Poor Hat will probably get some fistshaking at her, because she shows me so much cool stuff. The upcoming Tonner doll review? Totally her fault.)
Also along with the reviews, I intend to do toy photocomics. Because what's the point of having toys if you don't play with them? Expect to see them on the Tumblr account, for great reposting.
First toy review soon!
