Don’t Roll Your Eyes At Me!
Now I can see you better...
I don’t know about you but I find this feature to be pretty creepy – moveable eyes. That and totally pointless. Yes, I want a toy that has eye manipulation control. Of all the features I have been screaming for, that’s on top of the list. Is it cool? Kinda. I guess if you are going to make some sort of stop motion short with it it would be cool. But practicality wise? I just don’t know. It’s another reason to slap on a bunch of money for something you don’t really need. Now you want to talk about a great feature? Anyone remember those Wrestling toys you filled with water and with the push of a button they would sweat? Now that is a fun feature.
Virtual Awesome
I'm awesome till I go up against Dei Yen....
When it comes to giant robot games, you just can’t beat Armored Core and Virtual On in my opinion. Yeah there are all those others out there, but it all comes down to the arcade simplicity of these two for me. Virtual On had an amazing set of robot designs and I am glad to see that people still dig them.
Green and Mean
Do you know how hard it is to have just three fingers!?!?
I hope this line of Ninja Turtle Statues goes a little further than the last line. The previous line was years and years ago with comic book likeness and it too began with Donatello. I know this cause I got it for my TMNT nut friend for Christmas that year. It was supposed to continue, but didn’t. To tell you the truth I like this one more. Though I do love the original comic, I like the newer stylings. So here’s to hoping I get a Raphael soon.
Saying ‘Beam Me Up’ In Public Just Got Funnier
Beep. Beep Nerd. Boop.
eFX. What can I say about them? Not a lot actually. Their site is all about Star Wars even though they have some other licenses like Disney on board. And then I found out they will be doing Star Trek. And all I can think about is that movie called Trekkies that follows around die hard Star Trek fans, like the ones who remodel their house to look like sets from the show inside. I just don’t see the coolness in these as much as, lets say, a lightsaber or a ship replica. If eFX does some ship replicas from Star Trek, then I may take some action to get one cause I do like the Voyagers design.
What’s That In Your Pocket?
Cute and cuddly and ready to kill!
Why it is cute and cuddly little serial killers! Who doesn’t want a radioactive Jason Vorhees in their pocket? Oh, what’s that my son is playing with? Freddy Kruger. Duh. Where were you born? These things are just all over awesome. And they are kid friendly!!!
Vampires Like Hamburgers
Now with BLoodBurgers for all your vampire hungers...
Nothing says teen angst vampire love flick like Burger King, don’t you agree? Well someone out there does as BK, which I happen to love, has got the New Moon license and is planning to roll out the goodies. Not a whole lot is announced just yet, but I am hoping for some serious Kids Meal Toys. Brooding Edward. Whiny Bella. Pissed off Jacob. Now that would be an interesting kids meal premium. But they will more than likely have glasses with the BK logo all big and bold next to Edwards brooding face.
Still Plain Bad Ass
True Fact - He's actually a creampuff...
Punisher is just awesome, even this steroid overdose version. You have to buy him cause if not he can crush you in one of his meaty man hands.
Gavin’s Most Wanted
Too smart for his own good. Sigh.
God bless the internet. And God bless hulu. See I am one of those types of guys who has to watch something from the beginning to really like a show. That’s why I do a lot of TV on DVD. But anime is one of my favorites and one of my most frustrating likes. It hard to keep up with new releases and more and I wait for season sets cause I have a problem dropping $30 for four episodes when I can drop $50 for a season. So it was with DeathNote. I really, really, really wanted to see this but I always missed it. Well I then found it on hulu.com, the whole series. And watched it. And it was amazing. It was quite possibly one of the most amazing series I have ever watched. And I hated/loved the ending. And now I must have this toy of Kira, and there is one of L, but forget Near, he was mean.
