Street Fighter trailer is here

 The story seems to be centered out on Ken? With Chun Li recruitong most of the Worlds Warriors... and it looks Good?

It looks cheesy, it looks campy.It looks street fighter-ish. 

Also, Ken is former candidate for the role of He-Man, Noah Centineo... notice what song is prominent in the trailer.

Damn... seems like 2026 is aiming to give me possibly good MOTU AND STREET FIGHTER movies.

Apparently Syndicate collectibles is D-e-d!

 Dead. I was looking for BLOODSPORT Figures... I stumbled unto this post. It has been nearly a year since the Jeff exclusive release that I can't buy... because it's off limits to me... but fuck it... The articulation if the double dragon sucked ass.

So, yeah... Third time's the charm for Jerry Macaluso. So disappointed. At least it wasn't a Shocker toys or premium DNA disaster.

Hopefully SDCC 2026 might shed some light or confirm that like Uncle Ben or My Mom, the company is dead. 

Apparently the MOTU Popcorn buckets and drink holders are off the wall.

 And most definitely won't be available in my neck of the woods:

Yeah... I fucking hate that I can't have these...

But month and a half... Shame that Mom isn't here to see this... the Power Sword drink holder... By the Power of Grey Goose, I have Cirrhosis!!

Venom III: The rant

 Knull, really? It's worse than Bleghximum Carnage. But it's better than Madame Morbius the Hunter. Hardy plays a great Eddie/Symbuyoat... I started writing this rant at the exact half point of the movie... 54:34... A confused Tom Hardy looking at the Statue of Liberty... a model dressed like it with Venom talking to him. It has had some chuckle moments, some OK action scenes, but it drags on... fuck me sideways, it drags on... and on... That's it! I'm going on a burrito run.

Wait... the hippie wife is Alana Ubach... Josie from Beakman's World... Holy shit! The Army General is the bad guy from Serenity... Black Mordo... The Hippie is Curt Connors! He grew his arm without being a Lizard. Why am I talking about the cast?And not the movie. Because I checked out. The movie did Toxin dirty... Sorry SONY DID EVERYONE Dirty.

Good riddance! Stay Away... if you have to pick between this and Kraven, pick this one... or be smart and pick none.

It came from the toy chest: Minibrands Masterpieces.

Fun Fact: These are Available at Kmart... according to the Zuru website.

Can we get a Fuck Eddie Lampert?

That works for me.

What I got:

The Night Café by Vincent Van Gogh.

Nick: Holy fuck, Mikey... This is a perfect reproduction of the actual painting...
Mikey (VO): Want me to paint you something from my namesake?

Composition Red Blue Yellow by Piet Mondrian.

Nick: Uhhh! It's Chloe's old phone cover.
Mikey (VO): It's a reproduction of a Mondrian...
Nick: Ugh! We reached the point of retardation in art.
Mikey (VO): Not a fan of modern art, I gather...
Nick: A self Portrait of Van Gogh listening to La Oreja de Van Gogh is far more art than this shit a kindergartener could do with a ruler and crayons. It's a Spanish Pop group... My Mom used to listen to their music.

Parody of Self Portrait by Vincent Van Gogh.

Nick: 🎶 Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada
A que llegaras con rosas, con mil rosas para mí
Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas
Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así...
Mikey: Are you Crying?
Ashley (VO): Of course he is, he's a Mama's Boy without a Mom...

A magnifying glass

Ashley (VO): Oh great! Dingus has a magnifying glass...
Nick: Jinkies!
Mikey (VO): I hope you're talking Velma no later than Be Cool, Scooby Doo!
Nick: Fuck Mindy Kaling... not in that way...

A palette and paintbrush

Mikey: Now a Little Bit of Alizarin Crimson...
Nick (VO): Did you just reference Bob Ross?
Mikey: Of course, he brings me the joy of painting...
Nick (VO): Could you uh... make one of April and Irma... uh...
Mikey: Normal April and Irma, mutated into hybrids, Futas?

It's Kraven time!

 And he Kraved all over those guys. He Kraved so hard it made Madame Web look like a good movie. I Think Russell Crowe did half the movie drunk. The other half was phoning it in. At least when he played Zeus in Thor Love & Thunder, he was entertaining.

Kickass did a decent job as "Ser Gay" (Sergei when pronounced in Spanish sounds exactly as "being gay") as my female friend who I am totally not bumping uglies with called him. But the script did him dirty. Making Kraven a hero was a mistake. 

Fuck! One of the writers in Kraven is involved with the MOTU movie... but the guy also wrote The Equalizer and the Sequel to Jack Reacharound.

Then the other two writers wrote Iron Man and Punisher Warzone... but thwy also dod Transformers The Last Knight,

Men In Black International, and Uncharted...

No wonder it stinks... too many cooks... who took a MASSIVE SHIT ON THE LORE which made the movie suck donkey dick.

 You are better off watching fant4stic, Ghost bust hers, Madame Web, Morbius, the Venom Sequels... preparing my self for the last dance. 

Kraven's First and Only Hunt got ruined due to a lack of Spider-Man, being shitty, and nonsensical.

Seems my time as a Super7 customer is coming to an end

 Think about it: Playmates killed Classic TMNT... Mattel MAY or MAY not let Super7 touch Classic TMNT and only be relegated to 2003. And to be honest, the $65 price tag is making it harder to justify. Bishop, Baxter, Renet, Savanti Romero, Karai as Shredder, Fugitoid, and maybe Rat King would round up my wants... if they can work with Stan Sakai and get us 2k3 Usagi... I'd be happy.

I'd also be happy if they can use Turtles Forever.

Mirage Turtles, Human Rocksteady and Bebop... weird, I know...

And a peculiar cameo.

No need to say who...

I only want Yes Man and *MAYBE* Timestopper. The $65 price tag is really hurting the lines. It made me skip tigersharks.

Aside a redone Pumyra, I'm done with Thundercats.

GI Joe and Power Rangers are dead...

Is this line dead too? Dammit, I wanted at least Diana...

So yeah, seems like 2k3 TMNT MIGHT make me give some of my money to BBTS, because Super7 doesn't want me to give them money directly.

Other Ideas for FTC Playsets:

 Sadly, the Ring entrance is sold out at FTC... will try to get one if available.

But like the merch stand and media scrum playsets, I was thinking of other playsets FTC could do. 

News studio:

Why are you looking at me like that? It's a way for FTC use the stuff they own with some new stuff:

Modified announcer table with plug for channel logo (from 2-9)

2 fancy office chairs

4 TV lights

2 tv monitors for the announcer table

2 new cameras with stand

Small stand with green screen for the weather.

The set will come with one figure: The first of the Newsroom subline.

Anchorwoman:

Having the new blouse torso and blazer overlay in addition to the new skirt white skinned red haired repaint of the Tasha head using the lisa lower legs and feet. (Yes, it's a reference)

Newsroom figures:

Anchorman:

Talking Referee head with grey hair on announcer body.

Weatherman:

Announcer torso with short sleeves using the head of (fans) Eugene in blond.

Weatherwoman:

Using the Fan body with the blazer overlay, painting the torso with a blouse that shos cleavage and a hint of bra. Bra must be the same color as the green screen. The legs are painted as a pantsuit with lisa lower legs and feet. Head should be new and have a sultry look. Preferably dark skinned.

Male Editor:

New body: fat body with button up shirt. Long pants and shoes. New head... can be dark skinned.

Camerawoman:

Normal female body, painted like the Wrestling Crew Cameraman, New female head with cap on.

Female Editor:

Using the Female referee lower body with the upper body of the new anchorwoman and an orangey red haired Wrestling announcer head.

That concludes the Newsroom.

Now let's try another set.

Crime Corner:

FTC could totally make this set with Zero new parts by tossing the corner diorama, Hunter, Amber, a handgun, a mask, and the trigger hands... but that's too lazy for me... so I will do Repaints and add more stuff.

The Corner stays as it is. Using the Brad Body repainted with the MMA referee head with dyed beard in a neon pumk color for the criminal.

For the victim, Amber body in Blonde, light blue top and purple skirt.

In Addition to the gun, mask, and trigger hand for the crook, add:

Trash can

2×4 board

Pallet

Pipe

That way you have a more realistic corner diorama with junk and stuff.

Haunted House:

making a new Haunted House themed backdrop for the reversible backdrop diorama.

Add the stuff from the black coffin set, replacing the shovel for a rat. Toss in a druid coat for any of the normal sized adults to wear.   Add a repaint of the Ben sculpt: Brown hair, pink shirt, grey pants and blue sneakers. A redhead repaint of Kaylee, red hair, yellow shirt, lavender pants and shoes. If you want names for the kids Pete and Angie. 

Now let's try for more new stuff:

Weigh in:

For starters a backdrop like the Media Scrum, not in black. Maybe add a Podium, a Laptop, a brand new scale and using the Fan body with Lisa feet painted to look like wearing a bikini, add two models (light skinned and Dark skinned) new heads. Finish with two large towels. We can have boxing and MMA versions...

Front Desk: 

This is for the Law Enforcement Line

One for the police and one for the state trooper.

We start with the new front desk optional plexiglass panels, phone, dispatch radio, office chair. Each desk will be a different color.

Add the new Female cop (repaint available separately). Dark skinned woman for the cop, white woman for state trooper. 

Of course this opens up for new LEOs with melanin and introducing females to go with the front desks.

A third variation with different accessories could be made for paramedics/nurses. And it's a way to introduce nurses. 

Cardboard backdrops:

These could have non wrestling themes and come with figures/accessories.

Warehouse:

Day and night options.

1 side has the front and the other has the back.

Accessories:

Pallet

Barbed wire

Rolling board

Locker

Concrete block

2 oil drums

Cemetery:

Cemetery day and night

Mausoleum

Haunted, not haunted

Accessories:

Headstones 

Urns

Skeleton 

Underground fighting pit:

I meant this mostly as a reference to Bloodsport

But paired with the Figures Toy Company Steel Cage...

You get the idea...

Two Masters, Two Chun Lis, too many retreads

 But it has fucking Pacey...

Why am I talking about the cast instead of the movie? The title is self explanatory... it's a retread for Karate Kid...

The only good thing from the Abominable Jaden movie is that Jackie Chan brings some Jackie Chan energy and the I swear he's 30 (26 at the time of filming) new new new Karate kid looks too fucking old to be a teen. And Mulan, despure being 60 at the time looks like she's in her late 40s. As the kids say: would bang... As other kids would say Ew! That's sexist and misogynistic! As I would say: It's a joke, not a dick, so don't take it too hard 

But what's with the bullshit wirefu in that last fight!? This is Larate Kid, not Street Fighter

Doctor Wu may have made a Mam out if Chun Li, but she did not make a man out of the New New New New Karate Kid... who wins by a fancy leg sweep.

Speaking of Johnny Lawrence, the Zabka cameo made this movie from unwatchable garbage to... Zangief Moment

I should have watched Kraven the Hunter or Venom 3... Hell, Madame Web...

A He-Man Lightning rod...

 Mattel is cooking with that promotion in Brazil.

This is the kind of shit I'd do with Powerball money.

Creating Mutants (and others) for Mattel's upcoming TMNT lines: Unofficial suggestions

 That legally can never happen, but Mattel could "acquire them" at a low price... by giving me free toys. So here are my ideas to be bribed by Mattel...

Now where to begin:

Waltz: (evil)

A Human Turned into a Mutant Penguin. Wears a Black T-shirt with a tuxedo print. Sports blue jeans with black leather chaps and orange basketball shoes (chuck taylor inspired) He has a thick weight lifting belt with a turtle skull. The belt has two ports that stuff can be dangled by. (Think Teap Jaw)

Like Bebop and Rocksteady his transformation is complete. His face is very much penguin-like. SPECIFICALLY a Rockhopper for the cool eyebrows.

Accesories:

Meteor hammer: (long piece of string with a port to plug the "hammer")

A Stick that the "hammer" part can be plugged into to make a mace.

Three "Hammers":

Boulder (nod to the pebbles that some penguin species collect for courtship)

Spiked ball

Cartoony turtle shell.

The figure is unique and a small homage to Trap Jaw with the swappable weapon parts and belt.

Willis B. Bach: (good)

A mutated Austrian Black and Tan Hound.

(In Diff'rent Strokes Willis is Arnold's brother... now what Arnold is famous for being Back?)

Sporting the Red T-shirt Arnold Schwarzenegger wears in Predator and the clothes from Commando, when John Mayrix goes to save Alyssa Milano. Fully mutated, not a Varner styled cronenberg mid mutation...

The hound would have Schwarzenegger's flat top and gap on his teeth. Basically a Schwarzenedog...

For accessories:

Sunglasses

Rocket Launcher

Gun inspired by the Terminator gun.

Loanshaark: (evil)

A mutated mobster turned into a shark. Less street sharks in head proportions, but similar principles. A hunched body like Playmates Slash and a Bull Shark head. Since Bull sharks can also hit freshwater.

Essentially a humanoid shark in a gangster pinstripe suit.

Accessories:

Hat

Tommygun

Needless to say that Mattel Should totally do a Land Shark repaint as a new character: L. Aand Shaarke... who is a Lawyer (Add different accessories and call it a day.) And a nod to MOTU.

Tai-Grrrr: (good)

A white Sabertooth tiger  humanoid. You can guess that obvious He-Man references are coming:

The feet have the MOTU styled boots but with tiger feet. Vambraces are inspired by classic MOTU but not identical. He sports a 200X styled Crotch with a thick belt and pouches. An Armor inspired by Ice Armor He-Man with a skull as an emblem.

Accessories:

Barbarian Axe (proportionally similar to 200X MOTU)

Whatever the hell Smash Blade He-man's weird spinny accessory was.

Removable red helmet Loosely inspired by a Triceraton skull.

The idea is that this is an Alien like Triceratons. Maybe he's a contestant pn a Battle Nexus that befriends the Turtles.

Triple D: (Evil)

Three men, all named Doug, forcefully mutated into a canine Gestalt. A fusion of Bulldog, Chihuahua, and Daschund. The nain body is a bulldog but one arm is a Daschund and the other a Chihuahua the other dog heads are the hands. Like a dog  Voltron. They are dressed in Greek inspired cyber armor

Accessories:

A Greek styled sword and shield.

An obvious TMNT twist to a Cerberus.

Karma: (good)

A Capoeira practicing Chameleon (Chameleon turned humanoid). Sporting Capoeita pants and an opened up Hawaiian shirt and torn crop top (like Casey Jones) Sporting a Boy George inspired hairdo.

Accessories:

 Berimbau, Boombox, foot blades

Self explanatory a Chameleon named Karma. Should be Androgynous for obvious reasons.

SPADE: (Evil)

A Superhuman Saboteur, spy and assassin hired by Shredder to silence April O'Neil. 

Picture a normal Human in Dark blue and grey tactical Gear with a red Visor on his head. He has a holster on his hip and his left arm has a retractable blade (think Baraka). His leg Holster has a pouch with a box of playing cards in it.

Accessories:

Gun with suppressor, plug in blade, alternate hand holding the Ace of Spades card.

This is a parody of Snake Eyed and Storm Shadow and totally not a jab towards a disgruntled Mattel ex employee. Something something Ex EPF agent gone rogue... there, I even threw a caNonical explanation for not Spector. In fact Let's name him SPencer Ace DEvlin. But ince again, this isn't a jab at Toygoober's "Creative" skills.

Handy Mann: (good)

A Man mutating into a Spider creature. He's dressed like a handyman with two Spider arms coming out his torso. At the end of his spider arms, he has insectoid hands. He has two spider legs coming out his back (think Mantenna) but instead of feet he hands.

Accessories:

Hammer

Drill

Electric Saw

Wrench

It's obvious reference to a handyman... also, the "TMNT Spider-Man" is not a superhero, but a blue collar worker. 

KAREN:(Evil)

Stands for Kill All Reptilian Enemies Now. It's a Gynoid... think a female version of Krang's Android body, but with a female Utrom. It would reuse some parts of Krang's android body repainted with a different head and torso. Make her look Less Mama June, more John Travolta in Hairspray. Naming her android allows Mattel to convinve paramount to let them name the Android for Krang.

Accessories: 

Alternate weapon hands.

The idea is since Karai is very likely to end up as a lady shredder figure, then give Karai her own Krang. 

Feels lazy... but so is Lady Shredder and that is an actual thing. I also want to pave the way for more Utroms.

Takonin:

A Human Ninja turned into humanoid octopus. 

Imagine a more realistic Squidward wearing Traditional ninja garb but the pants are four legged and short while his arms are sleeveless.

His skin is thermochromatic so it changes color with temperature changes.

Accessories: 

4 Kunai

Soft goods

A Japanese Ninja from a rival clan, Toshio Katsushika, was turned into an octopus by Shredder. He first worked with Saki for a cure until the turtles revealed Shredder lied, now he fights on his own against the foot. 

Cultured folks will get the reference.

But we can get an official TMNT×STREET SHARKS line now...

Habemus Toy Ad

 The MOTU movie has its first toy ad.

The Kid core line seems to have the same Articulation as the WWE Diva Superstars. Giess that Teela and He-Man might be used for customs.

These look ok for what they are. I didn't expect them to be as detailed as Masterverse figures. But they're more detailed than what I expected for the cheaper end line. Which means the collectors line will be better. 

It came from the toy chest: I dunno what these are, but I like their gear

 

And at 3 bucks a pop, most of their accessories are useful... even if the dolls end up beong ass, it's not a total loss...

They're made in China, but apparently they're mostly available on Turkish sites? These are Drug Store Toys... as I've only seen them on Mom and Pop drugstores. Are they supposed to be adults? Are they supposed to be kids?

The outfits say children...

These sculpts... wait... they're the same sculpt only clothes and hair is different... point is they don't read Adult... despire being featureless bodies, these don't read adult. (While I haven't seen them in person there is a camping line with boys who probably have a different headsculpt)

Yes, Orange hair fell asleep atop tbe hibachi... probably due to underage drinking or something... seriously, who would have a "child looking character" with a bottle of beer.

Speaking of the hibachi...

It looks like it was meant to have an electric element, but it was canned during the process, but too far along to replace. The other accessories have a peg to attach to their left hands. But we get a small cup, a pitcher, and a to go coffee cup. There's the food on the skewers...

Unfortunately, they are only painted on one side. And thw ones together are togethe and can't be split apart.

The other one has a coffee pot like my late grandma's, a gas burner and a small table. The burner and the coffee pot are why I got her.

Are they the best? No but cheaper than Miniverse and Mini Brands stuff. Teeny Tinies would be better if I could find them anywhere... or at least ones I don't have. But beggars, choosers... you know the deal...

Niwatori Fighter is...

 Fist of the One Punch Bizarre Adventures of Pretty Soldier Sailor Cock.

The show is about this Cock, Keiji, who is basically a Rooster Kenshiro. He wanders Japan fighting monsters created by human flaws like Sailor Moon. The battles are like One Punch Man with a hint of JoJo 

but we also have moments like this:

I love the juxtaposition of absurd situations and the extremely serious vibe the show has. A critique of the shonen genre that still works as a shonen anime without feeling preachy about the critique or disrespectful to the genre.

A live action Thindercats: A rant

 I don't think a Thundercats live action movoe would work... for Hollywood. Hollywood has a knack for hating Fantasy movies. Ironically , despite the movie being set on earth, the lack of recognizable earth, would hurt the movie. That's before reaching the Thundercats themselves.

No we ain't getting that... but now that I have the naked cats there... is that fur, skin, how much can we lean into the cat stuff before going full furry.

Mondo gave up quickly on this more furry Lion-O and didn't give Cheetara a Cheetah face.

Will they go original story or 2011 story? 2011 has a more traditional fantasy elements and can be turned into Zootopia of the Rings. The original story is castaway in space... 

I fear that IF Hollywood takes Thundercats, they would change it way too much... but we'd have to see how He-Man does... 

I'm gonna say it: No Big names for the core cats or Mumm-Ra. In fact the biggest name should be Jaga... and Mumm-Ra should be acted by an unknown, while voiced by a Voice actor. I wanna see Panthro, not Vin Diesel... just to say a name.

But Peter Dinklage should TOTALLY PLAY SNARF...

Looks like Phineas and Ferb is now part of Fortnite

 More like Doofenshmirtz and a JoJo version of Perry the Platypus... Straight out of Dan Povenmire.

I have no words. Fortnite... Shame that the Fortnite guests cannot be made into action figures.  

I'd totally buy this figure...

Plays with: The Line

 Many moons ago, there were toys that said "plays with" a more popular line. Please usually wear a third party bootlegs. But what I'm proposing is that a company made characters, vehicles, and playsets, specifically to be used as background characters for action figure photography and play. 

A 1:11 line can blend with 1:12 and 1:10... the WWE Figures that Mattel makes are closer to 1:11 than 1:12 I believe AEW are 1:10.

So I'm thinking Vehicle with driver as a thing that can work with multiple lines:

This is isnpired by the Mattel wrekkin line. There is a Slam Mobile redeco with Lesnar that may or may not show up.

Also a red Slambulance redeco might show up this year. I looked at the pictures, and it seems that it's not a redeco. It's a brand new slambulance.

Limousine:

Picture a Limousine about 15 inches in length. It comes with a driver. Generic 6.5 inch figure with articulation similar to MOTU origins. Can sit 8 figures in the back. Has a panoramic sunroof that works. Figure can stand and yell like a drunk groupie.

F*****uck:

With a firefighter: Easily explainable... something about the size of the Slambulance but with a top extendable ladder shorter than the rampage rig crane.

Pizza Delivery scooter:

With a Pizza delivery guy: seems kinda self explanatory: a Scooter with a Pizza carrier on the back with a delivery dude figure to delover said pizzas.

Pizza Delivery old car:

A 1978 Honda Civic with removable driver and passenger seats...

Yes it's a reference. Also the car should have a removable pizzeria logo. Should come with driver and delivery bag. Driver should be female.

Armored truck:

Self explanatory. The truck should be about the same size as Mattel's slambulance... if Mattel were making this line, a modified Slambulance could be used here. This is onviously meant to be a vehicle to be attacked by criminals. Useful for Mattel's upcoming DC and TMNT lines... amd Hasbro Marvel Legends to name a few lines.

Jeep:

The Classic Jeep.
 No... I don't want an 80s Jeep Wrangler because of Patti and Selma's victim... I was thinking it's a smart reuse vehicle...

Civilian. Military, Lifeguards....

I'll stop there for vehicles... I would like to see motorcycles, pickup trucks, food trucks... hell even a Cybertruck...

Playsets:

Note these aren't meant to be super huge playsets. We aren't talking MOTUC Grayskull here.

Sadly, I'm looking at something with more cardboard than Plastic to act as playset/dioramas.

These can be Generic locations and if the company is smart they can get away with some part reuse.

Bank:

The playset would be oriented horizontally. 

You get the entrance, tellers, and safe. The safe wall and door MUST BE plastic.

4 plastic walls: 

Front facade, entrance to safe (which can only be accessed from the teller side), safe door wall, safe back wall with functional deposit boxes.

The idea is that the bank can be used in facade mode or playset mode.

The 2 inner walls get put upside down while the front and back wall are placed normally. When sandwiched together, the Bank becomes a backdrop piece with enough space for a hero to brood while crouching as they watch the crime going on below. Comes with a female teller figure.

Diner/Pizzeria:

These two would have differences and similarities. The main differences would be the cardboard backwall and floor.

But it's a similar format: 

Entrance counter with stools and a booth. Back wall implies bathrooms. Kitchen is implied in cardboard wall. Pizzaria gets an arcade machine, Diner gets a Jukebox. Both have a payphone on the back wall. The main difference is that unilke most playsets, these are slightly more modular and can be assembled to be mirrored images.

In backdrop mode, there is no space for a figure to stand. Comes with a cook figure.

Police station:

I'm thinking Front desk/Bullpen and holding Cell area. This one would be a bit different than most playsets. Unlike most playsets, the facade front is not the true front when the playset is in play mode. It has a breakaway entrance that is placed in front of the front desk. It's meant to recreate this

Abandoned warehouse:

would be very similar to the WWE Jakks backstage. Won't go into detail.

Apartments:

I know this almost falls in Barbie dream house territory., but hear me out.

THIEVES HIDEOUT, lower middle class apartment, upper middle class apartment, Fancy highrise... just to name a few. The platic walls would be the entrance door and a window. The window is useful for Middle Class heroes to make an entrance or an exit... (Spidey reference) The middle Class apartment could be for a Mild Mannered Reporter... or a lab assistant whose race and age changes depending on the iteration. The Fancy Highrise would be different as it would have clear plastic balcony windows. Could serve as Bald Supervillain's bedroom. (Fisk, Luthor, whatever)

I mentioned Figures... so, let's do these:

Hot dog vendor: 

Comes with Hot Dog cart. You can do some reviews with most of the world. Because you can make it a white guy, you can make the black guy. You can make the Latino one.

Postal Worker:

Male, female, multiracial, multi shape... it could be a way for us to get action figure scaled mailboxes. NO TRIGGER HANDS FOR THE MAILPEOPLE. We can get the little cart thing some use, the standard mailboxes, building mailboxes, etc.

Religious folks:

Yes, random nuns, priests, pastors, Rabbis, mormons, Frumpy people with carts, their leadership...

Hell, we need a Televangelist with a fancy car.

Among others. We don't need Hare Krishnas though... they have pretty much disappeared. Also, not gonna ask for santeros or paleros, because African Religions scare protestants and liberals think their representation would be racist. I would love to have buddhist monks. Japanese and Thai... the latter for recreating Bison's stage. 

Other Professions:

Office people come to mind as the tellers for the bank mentioned above. Exterminators come to mind, more specifically the bug exterminators. Bartenders, waiters/waitresses, chefs.

No, I won't suggest pimps and prostitutes. But if a company interested in more mature toys did it, I wouldn't be opposed. 

Construction Workers would be nice. Mainly for catcalling. But their power tools are interesting accessories. 

You get the idea...

Odds and ends: Mr. Feeny is 99 and stuff

 This means that William Daniels, voice of Knight Industries Two Thousand and permanent mentor to Corey Matthews has reached the age limit to use LEGO bricks.

Congratulations Mr. Daniels. I hope you spent a happy birthday with your family. I would also love to thank you once again for inspiring me to be a better person.

You have no idea how many lives your performance as George Feeny changed lives. 

Just to have some KITT representation...

I'm doing the side quests for Final Fantasy XII... 

That RNG can be a bitch in order to get that rare game... don't get me started with the Sochen cave puzzles. The game actively hates players.

Trail-or is here. They did the Cringer on the MGM logo.

It looks pretty nice, actually. Even Leto isn't Letoing it too much. 

Also, my first non-gooner statue for figures... got it the night before my birthday. Kinda fots with my torn clothes She-Ra. This may sound gay, but I kinda wish there was a He-Man statue with his Bonor out...to fit with my gooner statue collection for figures 

Making a Pizzaface Jr. Custom: The beginning:

 Making an Accurate Ultimates Scale Pizzaface is WAY beyond my skill level.

Remember the FTC fat bodies? Unfortunately there are no red shirts... painting the red shirt is a hassle due to the ab articulation. My Gary has a bootleg TNG shirt. The red paint wont stick fully and I don't want to disassemble the torso to sand prime and paint.

I mentioned here that I got a vintage Pizzaface to butcher and make an Ultimates compatible figure.

I'm not  looking forward to that... it would be very risky as the FTC torsos are hollow and the Pizzaface head is solid... Frankensteining a flat surface to attach the pizzaface head without ruining the body seems impossible.

So until someone makes a 3D printed Pizzaface head I only have 3 options:

1. Use the FTC head and customize it into someone resembling Pizzaface: Gary is the easier body while Shawn is the easier head. I see knife, sanding and using epoxy putty...
2. Get a Kingpin head or the Old FTC bald head and customize them into a Pizzaface-like head. I still see some epoxy putty in the future.
3. Do the risky usage of the vintage figure, negate neck articulation and hope I don't fuck up.

I'm leaning to #2 and getting some of StatWarsGeek's 3D printed heads. Specifically Kingpin and sculpting a mustache, ponytail, and fucked up maw. I saw online a soft goods hat. I MAY make it hard with fabric glue after I fill the insides with foam to let it keep the shape.

The leg is easy: Chop it off using hot glue and somr materials to create a stump to plug his stuff. I will make his red tanktop and apron with soft goods. The tanktop will act as an overshirt. Think basketball jersey over a shirt. It will be glued on at the top and sides. So will the apron.

My fanon justification is the little meatball got separated from the OG body and grew a new one. That way if Mattel makes a new Pizzaface, I can validate my custom.

Even Detective Lubic? Stop it 2026!!

 James Tolkan, who played Principal Strickland in BTTF and Detective Lubic in MOTU has passed away. He was 94. 

There isn't that much info. He was acting until he was in his 80s. 

He was in Top Gun... a few episodes of Remington Steele... Problem Child 2? Huh...

My condolences to friends and family... shame we never got a Lubic figure... More requested than Nepthu...

The Hannahversary was disappointing

 Well, it wasn't a reunion... well if we count Selena Gomez having a cameo appearance. It was pretty much a Miley Cyrus Midlife Crisis special. Special guests: a couple of fan interviewers, her Mom, Selena Gomez. No Emily Osment, No Mitchell Musso, No Jason Earles, no Moises Arias... But they managed to bring Billy Ray Cyrus... weren't they feuding because he went full MAGA and Miley went full liberal 

The only thing I found out is that she dated Zack... as in Zack and Cody. Miley Fully accepted Hannah and is now Both Hannah and Miley.

Kinda wished it was an actual reunion instead of Miley flicking her ego. But seriously, Little by Little Hannah has been taking over Miley.

That's kenough, Mattel

I didn't ask for this, but I kinda want it...

When I said MOTU Barbie, I meant Barbie in the style of MOTU not MOTU in the Style of Barbie.

Though an April O'Neil Barbie... He-Man has that April O'Neil hairdo going on. I didn't wake up to see this... but 2 months and a week or so...

Moana Trailer thoughts

 Ginger Cashgrab...

The Rock couldn't wear a wig reminiscent of his attitude era hairstyle for Black Adam, but is wearing a Party City wig for this... you're welcome! 

It looks meh... as in not even gonna bother watching it on Disney+ meh.

Who wore the cheap wig better?

It really looks bad... why Disney?

It was brought to my attention that The Rock is wearong a Padded suit to "look like Maui"

Saw the new Toxic Avenger movie

 The trailer was far better than the movie itself... the Zack Snyder effect in action. You know, when the trailer is far better than the movie. That is, the Zack Snyder effect in action. So... yeah. 

The problem with it is that it tries to be a Diet Troma movie and tries to be an early 2000s "realistic superhero movie". Reminds me of blade in a bad way. Didn't push the envelope hard enough to the ridiculous and wasn't immature enough.

I WANTED to like the movie, but I didn't. I didn't hate it either. It just felt flat from being a true Troma-esque film. 

Also... movie has Kevin Bacon in it... guess what role he plays...

I prefer the original... and Fuck Peter Dinklage for ruining dwarf roles for everyone else.

Welp! Xander from Buffy is dead.

 Who let Haley Joel Osment watch Buffy? You  know, I honestly don't remember him from anything other than Xander on Buffy. My condolences to friends and family.

Huh? He was on American Dragon... now that I mention it, I did know that the bit of trivia, but I forgot; then again I rarely thought of Nicholas Brendon outside of Xander Harris.

Take it easy, 2026.

May you be getting shawarma in the afterlife

Well... Humanity is doomed.

 We have lost its greatest defender.

Yup... we now live in a world without Chuck Norris.

I-I- I don't know how to feel. I watched Top Dog as I tried to assimilate the possibility that today would happen... Sidekicks wasn't available amd I had recently seen Delta Force and Missing in Action.

A rematch 53 years in the making... Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris.

Chuck ain't dead... he's just going to fight Goku in the Otherworld Tournament.

Chuck Norris: Hospitalized

 Chuck Norris... Is currently in the hospital. Chuck Norris was hospitalized. Chuck Norris had a Medical Emergency. Chuck Norris is 86 years old. Chuck Norris, star of Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos had a medical emergency in Hawaii. Chuck Norris... 

All jokes aside, this is worrisome... Chuck Norris might leave us one day and it kinda scares me knowing that I may live in a world without Chuck Norris.

Another Mattel Designer MOTU

 This is more bullshit like the horrendous Madsaki He-Man. Introducing the James Jean He-Man and Battlecat

Skeletor and Panthor are giving me vibes...

As Origins and Masterverse may be going to end in order to focus on the movie toys and this well, shit. 

These "artist" collabs need to stop. As I said in the past:

Mattel NEEDS TO STOP MAKING THESE lazy cashgrab "collectibles". These aren't for fans, these are for pseudo fans who deem these important due to the name attached and not because of MOTU.

Every time I see one of these I almost miss Scott Neitlich. Wonder what he's up to now? Rethorically, not really.

Ultimates tmnt2k3 wave 3 is out

 And Holy fuck there's so much to talk ablut.

This one MAY ship sooner as it seems they have a minimum premade.

There were 371 head packs left when I snapped this pic. 

Hun is $75 and the shellcycle was indeed $150...

Apparently, April's coat will be soft goods. Guess I'll preorder Hun on Payday and April via BBTS...

Val Kilmer will return from the dead

 As AI slop. Due to his throat cancer, his voice was AI in Top Gun Maverick... well now, Batman Forever will be AI.

As Deep as the Grave is the movie that will have a Clankerized Kilmer. Sure they have his estate's approval, but still how long until we get James Dean, Clark Gable, Shirley Temple, and other long gone folks brought back by clankers?

Whee is Crispin Glover when you need him.

Bloodsport is getting a remake.

Yeah... I dunno how I feel about this other than Nope!! 

The director played a Resistance Monitor in The Last Jedi. This would be her third directorial work. I have little faith on this project. Trying to remake the 38 year old movie might be tougher than expected, since it's based on "real life events". The quotation marks are added because Frank Dux is not exactly a reliable narrator. Honestly, it would be far easier to remake Seagal movies.

Saotome Ranma is now like me

Masako Ikeda, Original voice for Saotome Nodoka, has passed away. She was also Gillian Hewley (Angeal's mom) in Crisis Core Reunion and OG Crisos Core, Cloud of Darkness in the Dissidia games, Kairi's grandma in Kingdom Hearts, Maetel in pretty mich every project related to Captain Harlock.

Cerebral hemorrhage was her CoD. My condolences to  her  friends and family. Originally, I confused her with Massko Nozawa... who is 89 and the real voice of Goku... (fuck you Sean Cringe Schemmell) but realizing who Ikeda was hit me harder than the idea that Goku had truly died. 

May she rest in peace.

Netflix Ya-yo!

 Juan Piss season 2 was available on Netflix last week and I finally got to see it... I'm the equivalent of 91 anime episodes in and you know what? I'M LIKING IT! It's not perfect, but it's a seroous Abridged version of One Piece WITH Oda's blessing. I don't think they're gonna do the whole thing, but so far, I may be sticking out for Season 3.

I don't think Gear 5 Luffy will be in the series... but We don't know how much Oda will compress for the live action. All I know is that the end of the Alabasta arc is what we'll see on Season 3. 

I'm hoping we get at least up to season 5. To get a solid 40 episode series. If it gets to 56 even better, but I doubt it. 

And according to Forbes season 3 was greenlit and maybe they're doing 3 and 4 back to back.

That means... Ya-Yo! Ya-Yo!

What the Hell? A Stewie Spin-off?

 Does this mean Stewie is out of regular Family Guy?

The premise of the show, which you can read at IGN, makes it seem like it's going to poke fun at the Magic School Bus.

I honestly don't know if that will be enough to last 2 seasons. Feels more like a single episode thing rather than a new show.

It came from the toy chest: Nick, you are NOT the father

 Sorry for the Maury/MuTeens reference, but after calling the Zuru mini babies creepy, I needed to find a way to segue into this rant. 

The Baby is Black!! But in Puerto Rico there's a saying:¿Y tu abuela a donde está? In reference to racism amongst some Puerto Ricans... particularly white passing ones. My grabdparents from both sides of the family have one with very white ancestry while the other is a mestizo from a Very Black parent and a mestizo. So, while whote passing there's a lot of black in me... also a little Polish and Irish. But mostly Andalucian Spanish and Sub Saharan African. Since Nick is Cuban on his father's side, there is most definitely some black in there. So it could still be Nick's. I'm rambling about my fanfic characters.

So you can see it's the rocker... blegh! The worst accessory from the set. Guess I'll buy a stroller and a crib separately...

The set is easy to assemble... the hardest part was getting the diaper on the baby... there are harder to put on accessories in other sets.

Will I pursue thes? No. But fir those of you who want a baby doll for Barbie's kid sister... not Skipper... the other one.
