Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 10
Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 10
Here ya go! Another three batmobiles for your enjoyment. I do plan on doing some more batmobile shorts compilation videos. It just takes time. See, I have a tech issue that I have to use as a work-around for every video I create. Due to the age of my computer, it does not, for some reason, fully accept the driver off my smartphone when it comes time to transfering the video files from the phone to the computer. Bizarrely, I can transfer everything but videos. When I transfer a video, the thing copies over in full but only the audio is available. I don’t know why, so I have to format the videos on my phone prior to transferring them to the computer. Didn’t have to do this with my old phone, but tech moves forward and this old desktop work horse remains the same.
Anyway, give me some time and we’ll do up some more compilation videos for my hotwheels collection.
In the meantime, I offer you the following:
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel for regular videos and shorts! Pop Culture, superheroes and monsters, and collectibles galore (plus many other cool features like podcasts).
Thanks.
And, of course, if you have any collector video ideas or suggestions, you can contact me here.
Did you know I have a dedicated Twitter/X feed solely for showcasing hotwheels? Check it out here and follow along. You get a new hotwheels video every hour on the hour 7 days a week between 6AM and 6PM CST, including batmobile hotwheels videos!
See you there!

A lot of time and thought has been put into the essays and articles I post on Patreon for my patrons to help the creators there boost their arts career.
These articles and essays aren’t available anywhere else online except for patrons. Definitely worth the read even if you drop in for just a month.
These are the topics covered so far with more to come:

Status report – 041724:
All right, we’ve got a full roster going on over here. Between the stuff you see on a daily basis and working on stuff behind the scenes that you’ll see eventually, we have our hands full.
Right now we’re:
1) Writing AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING
2) Freelance editing for a client
3) Creating daily content for you both here on this blog and across the Web
4) Getting the second season of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast ready for launch (I’m building a queue to ensure you get it weekly)
And a day job.
But basically, our creative focus is on the Axiom-man books for this year. My main goal is to get the first drafts done by summer with, say, mid-July completion at the latest. Then all the heavy lifting is done and it’s just an issue of cleaning things up before publication.
The secret to getting all the above done and maintaining the schedule is just that: maintaining the schedule. Work on something every day and eventually you’ll get what you need out of it.
Back to work.

Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
This is a continuation of the original article, which you can read here.
Talk to any serious collector and we’ll all admit to having an addiction to the hobby, and the problem is, like any addiction, you can start to run up the tab real quick.
Here are some more ways to avoid that:
5) Cash-back credit cards. Most credit card companies offer cash-back cards, with 1-4% cash back, depending on what you buy and where you buy it. Grab a discounted collectible with it and you automatically save a bit just by using your card.
6) Find reliable discount/coupon finders for your Web browser. I use Honey and it’s saved me a bundle. Plus, Cash back. You can take a look here for info on it.
7) Collector’s can be impulse buyers, and while this is great for snagging a last-second deal, the impulsive buy could also drain your wallet. If the item can wait, keep it in your shopping cart. Often, online vendors put stuff on sale and it’s happened to me several times where items in my cart are suddenly discounted.
8) Shop local and check the clearance aisle. Like comic book writer Harvey Pekar once said regarding rummaging around at garage sales for jazz records, “Most of the time it’s a waste of time but every once in a while . . .” And some collectors out there, myself included, know the glorious feeling of finding something cool on the clearance shelf for next to (relatively) nothing.
9) Dollar stores. They basically clear out what the chains couldn’t/can’t. Example: my Marvel Legends Retro action figure collection (which I’ll do a full showcase of on YouTube at some point) was all Dollarama. $5 a figure. Know what retail wanted? $21+ a figure. For what I have, I saved around $175 or so. I don’t have the whole set but most of them.
I hope the above gave you some more ideas on how to save while still collecting in whatever hobby. Maybe there’ll be a part three to this series if I think of something new? After all, there is more than one way to afford a toy collection.
Cheers.

A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update
A.P. Fuchs LinkTree Ultra Update
For those unaware, I keep a LinkTree. The One Link, as I call it. From there you can go to every single place I am on on the Web. YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, this site . . . the list goes on. We also did up a new color scheme the other day, but this weekend I updated my LinkTree (which you can subscribe to) with a catalog of my books via their new store feature. It’s pretty cool and part of the LinkTree ultra update.
Check it out here. And if you’re a creator, I highly recommend getting a LinkTree of your own.
One Link to rule them all!
