Adventures of Rulk and Friends and It's Origin

So it seems that my photoset "Adventures of Rulk and Friends" on Facebook apparently has a fan base. People have been telling me, "So whens the next pic gonna be up?" or "Your Rulk photoset is one of the things that I look forward to everyweek." It brings a smile to my face to know that people are getting a kick from a simple hobby of taking pics of these toys coming to life. 

So why Rulk?
It all started last Christmas when my brother-in-law Rob gave me the Rulk figure. As soon as I opened the gift, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I thought to myself how fun it would be to take pics of Rulk doing random things. When it first started, I named the photoset "The Adventures of Rulk." Later in the photoset, I thought it would be cool to add a second character in the mix. That's when I added Wall-E and renamed the photoset "Adventures of Rulk and Friends."

How did Wall-E get into the mix?
Back when Disney acquired Marvel, I had thought that they would start selling Marvel action figures at the Disney store. I then went to the nearest mall and check it out. Unfortunately they did not. That's when I saw Wall-E and thought to myself, "Rulk and Wall-E would make good friends."

So what will happen next to Rulk and Friends?
Rulk and Friends will still continue on their random adventures, but this time outside of Facebook. The photoset will be uploaded and hosted on my Flickr account and will be linked here. Any brand new pics posted will be announced via my Facebook as well as my Twitter account.
