Crazy idea: Super7 Street Fighter Ultimates!

 I know that I've complained about Super7 doing too many lines and spreading themselves too thin. But when you think about it, Street Fighter makes so much sense for them.

Think about it: 12 characters, which translates to 3 waves... 4 if we add the Super SFII folks. Most of the figures would be in the $45 range. Only E.Honda, Zangief, Blanka, and T. Hawk could justify a higher price tag.

I know what you're thinking what about Storm Collectibles or SH FIGUARTS? They are doing "game specific" versions... What I'd want from S7 is something similar to what SOTA did, make a figure based on the idea of the character. But I'd use both SFII and SFA3 as inspiration for the characters.
Figures should have extra hands, effects for some of their moves and extra heads where applicable. For example Chun Li could have her normal head with the hair buns covered, uncovered buns like in Alpha, loose hair like her SSFIIT ending. (I could add the Police braids, but that's 4 heads and I can almost hear B-Flynn crying about tooling) but since I'm bored let's assemble all 4 waves!

Netflix's Carmen Sandiego's season 4 feels like a series finale.

 I won't spoil much until the jump, but this season of Carmen Sandiego works hard on tying all loose ends as if it was a season finale. There is a bit of a love letter to the 90s toon in the music. Just like the Choose your Adventure styled special had some love to the Rockapella theme song, the music in some episodes has bits reminiscent of the 90s theme song. This season has Carmen on a race against the clock as she tries to stop VILE from accessing a lost cache of stolen treasures belonging to the founders of VILE.
