Hailing The Mothership
Anyone see that Flight Of The Navigator ship? I got a score to settle with him...
Now I am not all gaga over Metroid like a lot of gamers out there. I was always more of a Sega FanBoy as it was. But I do like this replica of Samus Aran’s ship. It is such a cool little design. And it makes me happy that technology has come so far that we can actually make this a reality. Saying that, I still think it would be fun to make a blocky Lego version soon enough. Why hasn’t Lego picked up any video game properties?
Leggo My Mego
My mom makes me wear footie pajamas. Don't laugh, you should see what Martha does to Superman.
I LOVE Megos, and now DC Direct is taking a page from the classic toy book and releasing new Mego styled figures! So does this mean in 30 years or so these will be hot vintage toys? Makes you wonder. What exactly will be considered uber valuable in the future the way original Star wars toys are today.
I Can’t Take Small Spaces
I have to wonder if these monsters are shown actual size cause I want to know how in the hell you fit that beast on top on the small game board....
You’ll start to see some more board games in my column, and I picked this one this week cause it seems to be a variation on one of my all time favorite board games ever – DOOM! Man you could seriously screw the humans in that game, and so can you here, but this one has a light factor, with the valuable sunlight decreasing every turn which makes the demons far more powerful. Very interesting.
Hey, I Remember Her!
Spawn? He ain't got nothing on me.
I had no idea Lady Death was still relevant these days. I used to have all the figures from her line of toys cause she was awesome! Heck, I didn’t even know Moore Action was still in business either! How have both of these stayed afloat all these years? Oh yeah, deals with the devil. Silly me.
Stone’s Most Wanted
Wouldn't it be funny if they made a bust of the seventh child of Snow's?
YES!! From one of my favorite comics comes some awesome merchandise! Fables is bad ass, telling the story of fairy tale creatures living in our world after the Advesary took over theirs. And you will be so surprised to learn who the Advesary is in the story. Such a good, good read. I wonder if ABC is still trying to make it into a series?
He'll huff and he'll puff and he'll kick your ass.
Can’t get enough of Stone? Follow his randomness on Twitter or have fun with him on Facebook if you dare. Want even more?!? Check out his site Clan Of The Fanboys
