I got some great new things for my collection. It's been a little bit since we've been on here, but we're going to try to come on more regularly. The first thing that I've got that I just came in, as all you guys know, I'm an author and I've written about 25 books. And now several of my books have been turned into comic books. The first one being The Warden. You guys can find all these books on Amazon. So if you go to amazon.com and stick in Jimmy Starr books, you can see all the books. The comic books aren't up there yet, but they will be soon. So we have The Warden. We have The Mimic, which there's two books on The Mimic, The Mimic and The Mimic 2. These comic books came out fantastic. Then I have Quasar Flair. The Radiant Wars is my next book that's going to be published soon. And The Legend of Bunny Man, which is going to be my next feature film, hopefully starting in April. We're going to go into pre-production. So we got all these new comic books. They're super cool. I think you guys will dig them so you can check them out. They'll all be for sale soon, but they're not for sale yet. And but all the books are actually for sale. So I think you guys will dig it. Then the next thing I got that I'm going to open up, this is Swarovski Crystal. It was given to me as a gift and I never showed it to anybody, but it's a really cool thing. And so this is Thanos, you guys. Thanos is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel. And Thanos is an eternal deviant warlord from the moon Titan. He's regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. And Swarovski Crystal makes these. And this is a very expensive item and it's a Swarovski Crystal Thanos action figure. All made out of crystal. And I think you guys can figure it's really beautiful. So for the video, for people who aren't listening and watching it, Thanos is a bad-ass you guys. And he's really cool. And this was given to me as a Christmas gift. And it's very, very fun. It's very, very cool. And he's about maybe seven inches tall. He's all crystal. He's absolutely gorgeous. I haven't even displayed him yet because I have to put him someplace safe because he's super, duper expensive. And I think that all you guys would like him. So so there's my Thanos action figure. I'm very excited to have gotten it. And it's a very nice gift. And then let's see if I can figure out how to put him back in here. I can't figure out how to put him back. Then you guys, you know, the Legend of Bunny Man, we're working hard on it. So if anybody wants to invest in a great feature film for the next big horror icon, we have action figures, candles, coffee, wine.
