An aerial battle takes place in a lightly cloudy sky with a bright, low sun in the lower left. Wonder Woman (McFarlane DC Multiverse WW84 Golden Armor), in her golden armor with wings spread, swings a silver sword, drawing blood from the belly of the Tengu Warrior (Power Rangers Lightning Collection) while a second Tengu Warrior comes at her from behind.

The dice are loving recent pics from prompts this week.

RNG Vault 871/900, from Feb 6 of this year, was the “High Flyers” prompt from @serpymatt.bsky.social ‘s #FebFights prompt list.

Got this Wonder Woman before I was doing toy pics.

In an AEW Dynamite ring, with an action figure crowd on the back wall and more crowd in front of the ring apron, Aubrey Edwards watches for the hot tag as Danhuasen (Ring of Honor) crawls across the ring to try and tag in Danhausen (Ringside Exclusive Camo Pants) standing on the back left apron. In the front right corner of the ring, Danhausen (Unrivaled 14 backstage gear) crawls to try and tag in Danhausen (Hookhausen 2-Pack) who’s reaching in over the ropes from the right apron.

FIG PIC: “Tag Team”

The hot tag! The distilled essence of tag team wrestling!

That’s a wrap on #FebFights so thanks again to @serpymatt.bsky.social for the prompt list. Now I have no excuse to work on my incredibly elaborate next gotchapic.

Rikishi (Late 90’s WWE figure) backs into the front right corner of an AEW Collision ring, shoving his prodigious posterior in the face of Daredevil (Marvel Legends Spider-Man Animated VHS 2-Pack) who’s seated in the corner, hands up to ineffectually protect his enhanced sessions from what is happening.

FIG PIC: “Facebuster” Almost done! Two more!

#FebFights Day 26 is the move that busts faces the most, courtesy Rikishi!

This is another old fig that I was just BARELY able to get into the pose.

Went with Daredevil because, you know. Enhanced senses.

I put a secret comma and space into the prompt for #FebFights Day 25. It’s 2026. Who’s gonna stop me?

What I don’t know is if Taurus / Mortos tornillo through the ropes is just a tornillo or a special kind of one. Like a tope suicida tornillo.

Vincent Price (NECA Ultimate) stands on the left side of a lab facing right. In the center of the lab is the black, vaguely Gigery teleportation pod from the Jeff Goldblum version of The Fly. The entrance to the pod is full of smoke. In front of the pod, the Human Fly (Marvel Legends) is hunched over, knees and left hand on the floor, right hand held to his face, wings outstretched behind him. Vincent Price is holding a canister in his left hand with a green hose connecting it to a spray gun in his right hand - the sprayer is shooting a green mist (effects piece plus digital green smoke) in the face of Human Fly.

FIG PIC: “DDT”

#FebFights Day 24!

My big heat to avoid prompt list burnout is reusing backgrounds, like this one I… assembled and/or cleaned up from my Human Fly gotchapic.

The combination of Classified Dire effects and Dr. Mindbender’s sprayer? MVP prop set.

Setting - the study in the house from Alf. The kitchen/fridge is faintly visible through a doorway in the background. A desk with a lit lamp on it is in the foreground. Behind the desk, Alf (NECA Ultimate) gets his neck snapped by a delighted Pee Wee Herman (NECA Ultimate lit in a sinister red by the desk lamp.xq

FIG PIC: “Neckbreaker”

NGL I struggled with this one all month. Partly because I used TwoBad for Superkick and partly because I don’t have the only notable neck in toys (Mekanek). And I got sick. It’s a bit of a copout but as copouts go I like it.

Gotta marshal and ration my energy right now but luckily I was prepared with the idea, MODOK lives on a shelf, and Roddy lives near the top of a bin so very little effort expenditure.

This Stone Cold sucks so much. It’s a late 90’s fig and the only Austin I own.

The effect is from the new Super Action Stuff vending machine yet.

Brody King (Jazwares), wearing an “Abolish ICE” tank top and a chain around his neck, delivers a chokeslam to a generically paramilitary type (Mostly Operation Force “The Eraser” with some part swaps) in a parking lot near sunset.

FIG PIC: “Chokeslam”

A chokeslam is a move where the protagonist grabs the opponent by the throat in what’s known as a “goozle”, picks them up ostensibly by the throat, and then forces them to the ground on their back. It’s also the prompt for #FebFights Day 18.

On the left side of the frame is the rightmost third of an AEW ring with white ropes. Claudio Castagnioli (Jazwares ROH) is holding Darby Allin (Jazwares Unrivaled Pink Coat version sans coat) over his head in a gorilla press as he goes to hurl Allin over the top rope, to the right, all the way to the announcer’s desk, which you can see to the right of a frankly unnatural quantity of ring mat.

FIC PIC: “Press”

I haven’t gotten to use the ringside arena BG I painstakingly built with too much space between the ring and announce table for #FebFights yet, but Claudio’s strength and Darby’s aerodynamics let me use it for Day 17, “Press”.

Flap your arms, Darby!
