Toys, HEXcetera...

A new blog about toys
that aren't TransFormers

Now live, but not updating very often!

(what is it with me and blog backlogs?)

(As of) March 2026
Situation update...

I'm back to working full-time, for the first time in about eight years. It's been pretty great so far - within the boundaries of what's to be expected in my line of work - and it's particularly nice not to have to worry about money again. On the downside, it leaves me less time for other stuff, technically. However... with that limit on my time, I'm (somewhat) better able to focus on doing the things I need/want to do. However... there's also a hell of a lot more that I need/want to do, particularly since I got more involved in organising an event for my local Computer Club.

Visitors to my TransForm-A-Blog might already be aware that I've become disenchanted with TransFormers toys over the last few years, with Hasbro constantly recycling G1. This is likely to continue unless lines like Overgear - currently Takara Tomy only - become the norm. I suspect most of my new purchases from here on will be Third Party.

I'm also a little disappointed that Toys, HEXcetera hasn't developed as I'd hoped. It's not through lack of material but, if I can't motivate myself to write about TransFormers toys, what hope is there for other lines? The pixel art blog has been slow going because I've not had much on the go (though there's at least a couple of projects I should probably to get back to). Similarly, I started another - wholly unconnected and 'unbranded' - blog that I'd only intended to update sporadically, and even that has been slower than I'd expected... though the new job is certainly giving me material for it.

At some point, I'll also need to add a proper link to my Itch.io page, on which I hope to soon publish the opening chapter of a visual novel series I've been working on since the Pandemic.

Interesting times, all told...
