Here we are with another recap post! This time, a quick look at the Top 9 photos I posted on Instagram in 2025. Though with the minimal interest I get on that social media platform these days, I don’t know why I bother!

Anyway, these are the Insta pics that received the most likes last year. From most popular top left, they decrease in likes down to bottom right. Here’s the breakdown:

1. RIP Ozzy – a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, who we lost last year. An Ozzy doll, Funko Pop and some records.
2. Black Sabbath records and CDs to commemorate the final gig.
3. Castle Grayskull & MOTU figures – as featured on this blog.
4. Admiral Ackbar and me.
5. A full size Imperial Scout Walker, as seen at Liverpool Comic Con.
6. A tribute to Mike Peters, another hero we lost in 2025: The Alarm 12″ single.
7. An ancient tomb on Anglesey, North Wales.
8. Predator in the wild!
9. Me at the Taylor Swift cafe in Beaumaris, Anglesey.

Those nine photos captured some of the big events of 2025, in my life at least.

I usually post plenty of pics of vinyl, toys, skateboards and beer on my Instagram page. If that sounds like fun to you, please follow me: platinum_al.official
