Re: Freaktacular 2015
Oh man, some of these stories! So painful!
I can't think of any major breaks outside of one off the top of my head. My wife has my Deadpool and Darth Vader Mythos statues in her office because I don't have the room at the moment to get them set up. But she just has them on a crafts table, so they're kind of surrounded by things, and the more I write this the more I realize I should just box them up again until I get the room!
Either way, one day I was in there, and we were near the table and she was looking for something and I told her to be careful and BAM, Vader's head pops off! I'm WAY too **** about small marks, so as it was falling I was like...
It hit the table, and SEEMED okay, and then I saw these small black pieces and realized the side of his mask (this was the unmasked sculpt) had cracked. SMALL break, but still...I tried to find the three or so pieces that broke off. VERY small, and succeeded. I got some crazy glue or crafting glue or whatever, and fixed it right away. Honestly, I STILL haven't checked to see how it looks! I put it on the back of a shelf to dry, and that was a few months ago...I should probably check!
That said, I think it'll survive, and it's not like I planned to sell him ever anyway. Still...my heart sank when it fell! I really do need to put those away.
For Mystery Box #4, what is the worst incident you've had in which a collectible got broken? To me, these will be true horror stories.
Deadline is 7:30pm Central Time tonight.
One entry per person. Winner will be chosen by the wheel. If you've already won a mystery box you cannot win another but feel free to share your story.

I guess I wasn't aware at how few people did pumpkins around here! To be honest, I haven't done a pumpkin in a loooong time as well; but that's not for a lack of wanting to! I know my wife always wants to do one...it's just a bit harder living in an apartment with nowhere to put it after.
