Really Haley Joel? YOU HAD TO SEE KAIRI?

 Hayden Panettiere...

Yes, that Hayden Panettiere...

Well... 

We got Coco for KH4 and now Kairi's first VA was seen by Sora. She was dealing with PPD and addiction, which is why she as replaced for KH3.

So, I suppose Ms. Stoner will keep playing the role of Kairi... 

My condolences to friends and family, but Kingdom Hearts Animated series... also, KH4 may be digital only since it can delay to 2028.

Brand New Day made brand new Dough

 Mr. Stark, I feel like Scrooge McDuck! Brand New Day reached the 2B mark. In roughly 2 weeks. Avengers Endgame has 800 Million more, but it was on cinemas like a week or 2 shy of 5 months...

Holy shit! Of course, the fans of the fourth rate Michael Bay wannabe are claiming that there is no superhero fatigue and that the DC movies have sucked so far. Obviously they ignore that the movies made by their beloved Zack underperformed during peak superhero, cinema. Meanwhile Spider-Man BND, made 2B when Captain America 4 made only 400M and Fantastic 4 made 521M. Even the MCU isn't doing as hot as they did at peak SH cinema. The fact that Spider-Man did this good is 2 things: Spider-Man and that the movie is good. Wonder if it'll pass endgame...

Nutella made a Peanut butter flavor

 And it's weird. Doesn't taste bad... but still it doesn't feel like Ferrero chocolate. The peanut is a bit overpowering... but it's weird.

But the question is:

Does it Elvis?

Fuck yeah! It does and it gives a chocolaty oomph to the Elvis... But is it worth it? No.

Top 10 things I'd like to see in BND's sequel

 I mentioned that BND has many comic references. I missed out mentioning Big Man...

So with the ending of Spider-Man being off-world... let's tackle what I'd like to see:

10: Real Black Suit:

Black suit looking comic book accurate... lookinf like a black suit, not a chitinous armor 

9: Sin Eater set up:

We have a Jean DeWolffe we need a Sin Eater, settong up the fall of Eddie Brock on the sequel

8: Big Wheel unrelated to the main plot scene:

Self explanatory. A whole action scene being a filler to pad time and have trailer bait shit.

7: MCU cameos:

Preferably Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop, just not Riri... cause fuck the insufferable Ironheart. 

6: MCU's Kraven the Hunter:

Not Kickass... Maybe combining Kraven's Last Hunt with The Other or "Neogenic Nightmare"

5: Iceman and Firestar cameos:

It's self explanatory...

4: Spider Armor:

Perhaps trying to make his own iron suit.

3: Clones:

Oh I want an MCU Ben, and Kaine.

2: MCU Hobgoblin:

We skip Norman Osborn shenanigans and have Roderick Kingsley... we can tie in Ned's energy drink addiction...

1: The MCU Counterpart to Doc Ock:

Fuck you ai love Doctor Octopus 

Brand New Day is the most Spider-Man movie ever

 It's far from perfect, but it feels more Spider-Man than even Sam Raimi's movies.

I mean, for the time skip, you see plenty of villains... mostly in a montage. Boomerang, Tombstone, The Hand, references to Silvermane... Does Punisher count?

Spidey has a friend in the Police: Jean DeWolffe who is now a dark skinned Latina. At least Jean Grey is white and redhead...

Yeah. The whole Jean Grey thing is ass. No sir, I do not like it. The hinting towards The Other or Man-Spider felt like it was tacked on but not fully explored.

The best thing about the movie is the fight choreography. Which BTW the director of this will be doing the live action Naruto movie.

This didn't top MOTU, but it will be my second movie of the year.

Who let Haley Joel Osment watch MOTU 87'

 Dolph is still with us... Jon Cypher, who played Man-at-Arms passed away this month.

Honestly, aside from MAA, I've no idea about his career.

Huh, he was Spellbinder in Batman Beyond. And many single episodes in a shitton of stuff.

My condolences to friends and family.

I don't have much to say because all I knew him from was the 1987 movie...

Top 20 1/12 wishlist: Random stuff

 I have been a bit busy. Still haven't seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But it got me thinking:

With Marvel Legends and DCUC we have plenty of celebrities. But most of them are cosplaying...

How about the celebrties as themselves?

That way we get the RDJs, ScarJos, Bales, Afflecks, Cavills, Corenswets, Galintzines, Letos, etc. WWE gives us wrestlers so I won't touch those... then again the NPCs line made me think of this.

20: Gordon Ramsey:

It's fucking Raw! No need to explain this one... Biggest TV Chef.

19: Tony Hawk:

Everyone knows the meme

Hasbro where is this Spidey... 2 pack with Tony Hawk...

18: Zack Snyder:

I may dislike the guy but I totally wouldn't beat him up in action figure form...

17: Steven Seagal:

Do I really need to explain this one?

16: Vanilla Ice:

Yes the Trump Michelangelo trifecta... but Mattel is doing TMNT that's why I meed Vanilla Ice... Ice baby.

15: James Avery:

Aside the whole Uncle Phil thing... my brain just thought of 1987 TMNT actors dressed as their characters. I totally want a Peter Renaday... mostly because of Mandrake references... to pair off against Mr. Avery dressed as Shredder. But a normal clothed James Avery would be fine.

14: Ernest P. Worrell:

I've seen the Cena customs, but I want the real deal.

13: Gorbachev:

Only reason to ask for him.

12: Ronald Reagan:
Mainly due to the Gorbachev wall moment and totally not

11: Fabio:

You thought I was going to reference I can't believe it's not butter... believe it!

Of course he's gonna need a tub of margarine as an accessory.

10: Free government money guy:

You know the old man who dressed like the riddler and told you about free government money.

Matthew Lesko... that's his name. Now I'm thinking of the Quizno's ads that make me think of Neitlich... only the Mattycollector veterans would understand.

9: Ron Jeremy:

Nothing pornographic about it... just a figure of Ron Jeremy...

He WAS IN Ghostbusters as an extra.

Johnny Sins could get an entire wave.

8: street performers:

This one feels kinda cheating as it is a category...

But this can cover mimes, Naked Cowboy, Theater Majors, etc.

7: Rowan Atkinson:

Not Mr. Bean... Rowan Atkinson. But yeah 

Add the turkey as an additional head.

6: Oprah:

No reason at all...

5: YouTubers:

We have seen a few show up in movies... and thanks to WWE we have one of the Paul Bros.

So, bring on Nostalgia Critic, AVGN, Uncle Roger, PewDiePie, Adam Savage... Justin Wong... he has a YouTube channel where he shows videos of him getting Daigo'd.

4: Children:

Still disappointed we missed the Naughty or Nice kids... and at least FTC covers some of that niche... but I need different clothes for them.

3: Teens:

BigBadWorkshop is covering some, but I want all the cliques.

2: The Elderly:

I have seen how BBTWS has made characters that resemble others. If they can make A Rice Relative...

1: Steve Irwin:

Fuck you I want Steve Irwin.

BIG BAD WORKSHOP is making NPCs

 I am excited for this.

This has a lot of the stuff I wanted... criminals and random npcs... I am in... as long as the price is reasonable.

These will help fill up the background for other limes... guess the imports will be used for the nudists...

I beat Ivalice Chronicles:

 I got to appreciate it for what it is... and it has a new game+ in addition to (un)fortunately put Cloud on average level to my characters. But going through chapter 1 with level 99 Ninja Arithmeticians is wild. The bad thing is that the trophies in game don't carry over so you have to rewin them... Deep Dungeon Midlight's Deep here we go again.

Now Tactics Advanced Collection, please... or an enhanced port of

Marvel Cosmic Invasion: Shredder's Revenge but with Marvel.

 The game feels VERY Shredder's Revenge-like... Not because it's made by the same people tht made Shredder's Revenge. It's because it feels very respectful of the universe and characters. It gives off a Marvel Animated series vibe, just like Shredder's Revenge was a love letter to the 1987 TMNT. 

Wolverine is Cal Dodd, Jean Grey is Jennifer Hale and Spider-Man...

Is Meowtacular... Seriously, Josh Keaton has played Spider-Man AND Spider-Man ersatz characters. He even played a Spider-Man inspired villain in DC. 

I haven't gotten the Penis and Thing DLC...  I will later. Bills come first. 

So the rant won't be a review but a top 12 Wanted DLC characters:

12: Johnny Storm:

We got The Thing and his temporary replacement on the F4, She-Hulk... It makes sense to have Torch... also one of Spidey's buddies.

11: Iceman:

Frank Welker needs to voice him in the gayest Fred Jones voice he can do.

I don't think I'll add Firestar.

10: Reed Richards:

His stretching and reshapingcould provide some cool moves. The story is F4 heavy, so let's get as many of the F4 in it.

9: DareDevil:

Street Level Hero... self explanatory. Perfect for a beat-em up.

8: Shang Chi: 

Master of Kung Fu... literally made for a Beat-em up.

7: Iron Fist: (Danny Rand)

Same reason as DD and Shang Chi.

6: Nick Fury Sr.:

Needs to be voiced by The Hoff. A nice way to bring Gunplay without bringing Castle.

5: Hulk:

We have She-Hulk, we need the OG Hulk, because Hulk Smash

4: Sue Storm:

I said Bring the Fantastic Four and I wasn't gonna put Richards in 4... the joke works better in Spanish. Giggity! 

3: Nightcrawler:

Sword, teleports. Perfect...

2: Wonderman:

For the sake of having some Avengers representation.

1: Gambit:

Stick, cards... if we get Chris Potter to voice him again, we're golden.

Honorable mentions:

Dazzler, Black Cat, Namor, Hawkeye, Punisher, Colossus, and Vision...

You all should know why. They all have appeared in past Marvel beat-em up games.

Temu European President, Temu Trump is banning people

 If they talk shit about Argentina. Yeah, he's deporting immigrants for talking smack about the 2026 FIFA World Cup losers. BTW, Falklands are British. Che, boludo, aprendé, Las Malvinas NO SON ARGENTINAS. Hasta los mismos habitantes votaron para permanecer como colonia Inglesa. And just like that, I got banned from Argentina.

Then they womder why Latin America hates them. Then there's the whole Housing Nazis, like Mengele.

All this because they are sore losers at soccer.

Am I banned from Argentina now?

Seems that the whole Alleged Pedophile Jared Leto thing has gained traction thanks to MOTU.

 I have mentioned the whole alleged pedophile thing for years. IIRC Since 2020. Insert Hindsight 20/20 joke here. Well, IGN is mentioning it now.

Keeping this in case anyone asks me why I reference alleged pedophile when talking about Leto.

At least Di Caprio waits until they show him a voting ID...

Mattel was silent about TMNT at SDCC:

 Wonder what they're cooking... so let's rant:

Turtles, Splinter, Shredder, Foot Clan, April, Casey... we know they're coming. Maybe Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang.

I'm hoping the figures are WWE Scale. I'm hoping for a MOTUC approach to the line... All Universes under one cohesive style.

By that I mean the Humans looking somewhat realistic. Where Chris Bradford, Tatsu, 87 Baxter, and Hun can stand next to each other and look like they belong to the same line. Just as 200X, NA, 87 Live Action Movie, Filmation, and Vintage toy looks fit cohesively in MOTUC.

For example:

Mirage Casey is muscular but Average built.

2003 Casey is more Muscular than Mirage Casey, but not the angular features.

2012 Casey is smaller as he's a teen.

With Mutants you can get away with some of the proportions...

Let's say Leonardo:

Mirage Leo is somewhat similar to 87 Leo, but the forearms and shins are bigger for the Mirage proportions.

1990 Movie and 2003 could be similarly sized, but 2003 is more Muscular. Both beint taller than mirage and 1987.

2012 would be slightly smaller than 87 but similarly proportions to Mirage.

MM turtles would be the smallest ones.

I mention multiple versions of "core characters" because TMNT has a multiverse and Mattel needs an excuse to do the same 12 characters again and again.

Argentina lost the world cup and they're crying more than Deku and LeBum James

 Spain beat Argentina at the world cup and Argentina is hella mad that Latinos were supporting Spain over them.

Trigger warning: Not all Argentinian people are racist, but a sizeable population is.

You've spent years calling yourselves Europeans, not Latinos and you complain that you aren't getting any support?

Even IShowSpeed got shat on by Argentine racists.

Samuel L. Jackson called out the Racism in Argentina. Argentinian folks kindly replied that they weren't racist, that he should point out US racism before calling out Argentina. Some used the hard R and said SLJ was a Motherfucking monkey... to point out that they weren't racist.

It's not like Argentina didn't bring as many Nazis as they could... but not racist.

Now Duolingo has pissed off Argentina.

Amd apparently the Brazilian Duolingo team is having fun with Argentina too.

Who would've expect a Saiyan revolution after Frieza called them Monkeys for years.

But seriously they have a bunch of conspiracy theories that go crazier... careful with that rabbit hole.

Again: Not all Argentinian people are racist... sadly for them, the racists have gained the spotlight for decades.

Jada's final Alpha figure is a woman in his 50s...

She was 16-17 in 1990. So doing the math, she's in her early 50s...

Yup! We are getting Miss Kasugano... watch how some of her parts will be reused for Miss Kanzuki on wave 3. I'm surprised that Ken, Akuma, or Dan weren't on wave 2. But in a way, I'm glad that they're not rehashing the same characters as Storm Arena. Personally, I hope they stick to the new characters or the classic characters that look very different from their street fighter II counterparts. Gimme the Roses, Rolentos, Gens, Karins, over Blanka, Guile, Fei Long, etc. Of course, I wouldn't say no to an extra large Bison.

More SDCC Updates: 94CotA Sentinel crowdfunding and Jaguar Kicks

 Hasbro is making a crowdfinding for the X-men children of the atom Sentinel and wants $100 for it.

I'm not Gonna lie it looks really good. But at the same time, it doesn't scream $100 Good. 

Jada dropped a reveal of the second Alpha figure for wave 2.

I mentioned the Jagiar Kick so you know it's Adon... I hope figure 3 is Rose...or Sakura/Karin. Also the second round of SDCC stuff from jada sold out in a flash.

I may have nad news regarding TMNT

 Straight out of pixel Dan.He talked with Trevor from NECA and TMNT is done.

The final figure will be Tempestra from the cartoon episode and Shredder's Revenge.

But this means that Super7 will not have a wave 4 of 2k3 TMNT unless they do preorders in November to squeeze them in before Mattel whips their Master License dick...

Guess that means the Jumpsuit Judith Hoag April is canned as well as the Henson styled Rocksteady and Bebop. No 2012 April either.

Also, did Mattel show any TMNT Stuff?

Street Fighter Stuff: Hasbro vs Jada:

Jada showed some Street Fighter Alpha Love...

Guy is coming... but Guy isn't the only Capcom thing they showed. They showed closer to production Mega Man stuff... No Roll, or the Doctors.

Check out that Strider Hiryu... waitaminute?

Jada better give Astro Boy the butt guns...

 

This is so much a Mega Man Rip-off... and yes, I'm well aware Astroboy came much earlier, but this intro is the most Mega Man thing ever.

Jada is making both Mega Man and Astro Boy... I can hear my mom yelling: Abre el culo que aquí voy.

Now I'll need to get an Astolfo figure.

Yikes... I will be getting these regardless how bad they look.

Mainly for this joke.

Update: I most likely won't be getting the  ovie figures, for they're walmart exclusive and Location Surcharges make them not worth it. And in store they will be nearly $40.

Soem SDCC news: MotU, GI Joe, Street Fighter

 Jada made me think of Mattycollector. The headpack sold out in less than 5 minutes... couldn't even try to order as it was sold out once I got to the SDCC page.

BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth have the GI Joe Classified Lara Croft. $45... yikes! One must be an idiot to pay that... I will be an idiot then. Managed to preorder her.

Mattel is rebooting Origins and now they will integrate Build a Figure to the line... if only they fixed distribution issues as the last Origins I saw were the TMNT crossover and those were at a mom and pop pharmacy, not a big retailer like say Walmart.

Shadow Beast and Mask of Power monster (green) are the BAFs. 

Hasbro is doing Zelda now

 They are starting with Tears of the Kingdom

I'm not gonna lie these look nice. I kinda get why we're doing tears of the Kingdom... personally, I hope we get some more classic Zelda stuff.... like the best Link ever paired with Zelda and Ganon. Also, please pink haired Link to the Past Link Save Ocarina stuff for like wave 10 or something.

Am I supposed to feel excited about Avengers Doomsday?

  Because here's the Trailer:

And despite this being a mega huge event: it's giving me Watch it at home on February 2027 or whenever Disney+ drops it. I wanted to be excited... but it felt like a PowerPoint presentation for the cast 

MY HERO MACADAMIA'S Videogame seems familiar.

 Feels like a copy of the Xenoverse and Ninja Storm games. But not a good one.

Should've gotten the PS5 one... for an extra $20 after taxes and I would've gotten a version of the game with the entire 1-A class, and Neito Monoma, Itsuka Kendo, and Tetsutetsu representing 1-B... Dammit, no Ibara Shiozaki... I wanted to beat the shit out of Mineta with Jesus Plant Girl...

Honestly, the game is mid. Will play it and beat it becaise I paid $24 with Endeavor DLC...

Shame it has no English voices...

Comfort foods: a rant

 Going down the rabbit hole that was the Tradwife meal prep made me think: 

What are the top 10 comfort foods? How many of those would be on my top 10? How do I feel about each item?

Let's find out:

Mac and Cheese, Chicken Noodle Soup, Pizza, Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Cheese, Ice Cream, Fried Chicken, Chocolate Chip Cookies, French Fries, and Lasagna. These are the Top 10 most loved comfort foods.

Mine are:

Mac and cheese, Sancocho, Pizza, Ramen, Sloppy Joe, Peach Cobbler, Fried Chicken, Cookies, Fries with sunny side eggs, Lasagna. Very similar but a few differences.

Mac and Cheese: 

I ain't talking about straight up box stuff. That always got enhanced at home. Extra cheeses, a good bechamel and other things...

I'm talking casserole style Mac and Cheese. Fan fucking tastic... 

Chicken Noodle Soup:

This one is a staple. Whether fresh made, instant or canned. For the instant stuff, personally I've migrated from Western soup to Ramen... cheaper and just as easy. But homemade, I either go for egg noodle or asopao... essentially replacing the pasta for rice... but ramen win due to laziness.

Pizza:

Nuff said... also, 90s Pizza Hut was awesome! 2026 Pizza Hut?

Domino's haas recently entered a hit or miss. Papa John's has been more miss on the prices than anything. Little Caesars is just mid... but cheap. 

Mashed Potatoes:

Cue Uncle Phil

To be honest, the only real way to make them is to do the hard work. I've recently noticed that instant mashed potatoes do not work as well as they should... flavorwise. Chopping, boiling, ricing the potatoes and using the same exact ingredients, yields better potatoes... but honestly, I ain't got time for that... so I end up boiling, drying squishing the potato chunks a bit giving them a sprinkling of oil and into the air fryer. But that's bordering on Fry territory. 

Personally, on my list of non-fried potato item I have Sancocho. A slow cooking beef stew with various root vegetables served over rice... like a sort of curry. It's a set it on a slow cooker and come back a few hours. The rice gets the rice cooker treatment. While mine isn't as great as my great grandma's... eating it takes me to a more innocent time.

Grilled Cheese:

Not gonna lie, this is the easiest one to make: bread, cheese sone fat to warm up the bread and melt the cheese.

First time Gordon doesn't fuck up a grilled cheese sandwich.

Don't get me wrong. A grilled cheese hits the spot... BUT to my childhood Sloppy Joes can hit the spot... and if no manwich available... some cornstarch and water mixed with Salsa and the beef... boom! 

Ice Cream:

You scream, we all scream for Ice cream... for me this one is always store bought... or truck bought.

This is the ice cream truck I used to hear a lot as a child.

This one I mostly rememeber from my grandparents 

But the Ice cream itself doesn't really do the confort food feeling for me. Hence the peach cobbler... I rambled about it earlier....

Fried Chicken:

Unlike the US folk who prefer their fried chicken battered; I prefer the skin not to be breaded.

Chocolate Chip cookies:

Yeah, they're great with milk... but shortbread cookies, butter cookies, Chocolate cookies lemon cookies... haven't seen girl scouts selling cookies. Point is that, cookies in general give me that comfort food feeling... not just chocolate chips. Speaking of, It's  been ages since I've made some from scratch.

French Fries:

Fried in tallow, yum... Old McD fries were the bomb... but that comfort for me is the thing the fries are complementing... don't get me wrong fries on their own are delicious. But for me, fries with sunny side up eggs are the bomb, especially when the yolk oozes that yummy flavor on the fries. 

Lasagna:

Nothing more to say. Lasagna is one part pasta casserole that thinks it's cake...

And sometimes I'm just in the mood for some fridge cold Lasagna. But it needs to be homemade. Sure, some frozen Lasagna hit the spot. But it's not the same...

Random musings:

 I had a craving for peach cobbler, but I was too lazy to go to a supermarket to get the stuff... So, I began googling easy Peach Cobbler recipes. Easy my ass... they all require baking and shit... started watching Paula Deen and ended up in something called Trad Wife movement... Basically women who dress up like they're going to a gala and cook everything from scratch... fuck that shit... 

This parody catches the absurdity of the real thing perfectly.

I've no time to make bread, grind my meat, make my ketchup, mayo, mustard, cheese. I want my burger ASAP... I don't want to wait hours for the yeast to bloom and to fart all over the dough. I don't have time to wait for cheese to curdle. That's why I buy pre-packaged stuff... convenience!

Also, DRESS NORMALLY! I don't want microplastics from the beads and sequins. Nor faux fur in my alfredo sauce. Especially when my FwB is a person with culinary impairment. So I went to a convenience store and bought 2 small cans of Del Monte peaches, a glazed honey bun... they didn't have cinnamon rolls. Last but not least a hägen daz scoop of vanilla. Tore the honey bun into pieces. Mixed in the peaches, the honey bun, the syrup and pumpkin spice mix. Popped it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Popped the little ice cream tub. Was it better than an actual cobbler with fresh peaches and actual crumble? HELL NO! But it took care of my craving. 

But seriously what the hell!? The whole thing reeeks of bored rich people pretending to rough it out like the poors. Not calling this channel specifically, but it's an example of the whole performative homesteading.

I'm glad people are mocking the ridiculousness of the Tradwife influencers. Seriously, a high end executive salary is needed (about $200K+). Most of the people who are into that lifestyle work blue collar jobs and can't afford the tradlife.

First close up I've seen of the TMNT/GI Joe mash up April...

Pros: Looks like a grown 2012 April.

Cons: Looks like a grown 2012 April specifically April derp.

Storm Arena Darkstalkers Oreorders began yesterday. A rant

 Lilith is the headliner. Looks a bit bad, but it's Lilith... well, time to process Which are the top Darkstalkers I want that aren't Lilith or Morrigan... or Victor and Felicia. Since those are the next two after the Succubi...

Dimitri Maximoff:

The name for Darkstalkers in Japan is VAMPIRE, hence Darkstalkers 3 is known as VAMPIRE SAVIOR.  So, the Vampire from Vampire is a must... chaos flare would be his main accessory

Would be cool of we ever got the true Vampiric form after we got most characters.

L.Rapter:

We're going by rule of cool here.

Guitar and one of his saw legs as accessory.

Would be cool if we get the Human faced variant

BB Hood:

Because fuck you that's why.

As much as I hate it, no dog. Just basket, Uzi and knife.

Donovan:

No Anita sadly, just the Dyreck blade and effects.

Later on a Dee figure could be made.

Hsien-Ko:

My question is how will Storm tackle her arms.

Q.Bee Bishamon:

Katana, swappable Armor face plates, soul flame effects that float near his face.

Rikuo:

Pyron:

Orange translucent body sol fire effect.

Easy!

Anakaris:

I guess one of his punching attacks...

Honorable mentions:

Human Talbain.

Gloomy Puppet Show Lilith

Anita

Cecil with Huitzil car.

I play Rocky: a Stallone biopic

 There's an upcoming biopic of Stallone's struggle to make Rocky...

That's it... looks interesting... not going to the movie theater interesting, but interesting enough to catch once it hits streaming.

Jada is doung now Two Packs for SF...

 Of course thw first one is Bison vs Guile.

The palette for Guile should've been Brown, but whatever. No new items here.

Look at the Endings:

Cammy vs Bison 2 pack with new alternate head (Bison without hat). Add for cammy the Tongue head from SSFIIT opening.

Ken and Eliza Wedding 2 pack. Jada can be lazy and just make a new Eliza and rerelease Ken or make Ken in a tux and a soft goods wedding dress Eliza.

Interpol Uniform Chun Li from her ending and toss Civilian clothes Ken from the Violent Ken ending.

Sally and Dhalsim 2 pack 

Guile and Julia 2 pack from Ken's Ending

Blanka and his Mom...

While technically not Ultra SFII, Scott and Max.

My Hero Macadamia is getting a live action movie

 Which is a bit scary... Not sure if it's an American adaptation or a Japanese Adaptation. Hoping for the latter. All I know is that Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia is involved.

At least it's a movie and not a series... 

I wonder up to what point will the movie get to...

How will they deal woth the purple menace?

Super7 Thundercats SDCC repaints

 On one hand being repaints means they're kinda skippable...

On the Other hand, these are the Lion-O and Mumm-Ra of my childhood. Unfortunately, I won't be getting these... buying straight from Super7 has become hellish for me.

I won't pay over $100 for shipping a figure. 

Grossmos... Wish they had existed when MOTUC was a thing:

 You know Miniverse and MiniBrands... they have various spinoffs and stuff like appliances, shops... well the Makers of Miniverse have Grossmos... Dinosaurs plus Slime.

Here's a video ad for it.

The Dino Head and Opening Jaw drew me in... but most importantly the wrapper is plastic slime. You see where I'm Going with this?

Had this been made in the MOTUC Era, a Custom Slime pit would've been doable...

I got 2 from a Mom and Pop pharmacy ready to write a rant about the potential for these...

Somebody else already saw the potential of the plastic wrapper for the Grossmos. Now I need a Slime Fright Pit. Now you know and knowing is half the battle.

Really, Haley Joel? You *HAD* TO WATCH Omen 3

Let me guess, you then watched Jurassic Park... well fuck you, Sora... You *HAD* to see Sam Neill.

Those are the two main things I remember Sam Neill from. He died... no cause of death given, but he had beaten cancer recently... 

My condolences to the family and friends.

Not much to add here.

If Super7 got 3¼ more waves for Vintage TMNT:

 With Mattel taking over the license we don't know if they'll be massive cunts and cockblock everyone else or if they'll share...

 Square Enix is terminating Ever Crisis.

October 6, 2026...

I Hope they release a FULL Version of the game without the gacha monetized stuff liek they did with the Chibi FFXV. Probably after revelation, Hopefully before the 2028 discless deadline.

Bonnie Tyler passed away

 I just woke up to the news... I'm bummed. She died of complications of an illness in Portugal 

Forever's gonna start tonight... My condolences to friends and family for their loss.

I saw Supergirl

 It is not a disaster. So that's a thing. Jason Moana did a great job as Lobo. So great that I would like a solo Lobo movie. Milly Alcock did a great job as Supergirl. But the movie lost me. It feels like there were too many cooks messing with the pot. It's not great either. As much as it hurts me to say this, just wait until it's on Max...

James Gunn, if you somehow are reading this tiny blog: Jason Momoa Lobo solo movie.

Rven Hideo Kojima is against Sony'd digital only plan.

 When evrn Hideo Kojima disagrees with you, you fucked up.

Various publishers have let their disappointment be heard. 

Kojima makes a good point. Digital only woll reduce access to games. Which will be counterproductive to Sony... if we're going digital only, then Playsstore can't be the only place to buy digital Playstation games.

Seems Mattel will make more Skeletors

 Based on the scene from the movie...

A closer to official pics... gotta stay tuned for SDCC to see of it'll  be a Mattel Creations exclusive or something. But this brings me to my next point:

I want an Adam, a 2 pack with Dolph Lundgren based on the gym scene... and screw it, Adam's annoying boss... also, final scene Adam and Teela...

LeFlop James is leaving the Lakers:

 I rarely touch sports here. But LeLoser is G.O.A.T. not greatest of all time. Instead he's going on another team.  

Gee... weren't you who said this?

Promised over 7 rings, but ran away after 4 years with 2 rings. 

So after 8 years in LA and only one ring, you're running away... again. 

Filipinos are looking into banning videogames

 Apparently there was a shooting incident in Philippines and government is moving towards better gun regulations... nothing strange there.

They are also looking into regulating videogames and banning violent games.

This is the knee jerk reaction of pretending to do something and do nothing. Then again, can't expect much of any governments... won't make a joke about this increasing the number of Pro-LeBum bot farms.

39 years ago Danny Glover was top old for this shit

 Now he will forget that he was too old for thos shit. Sadly, it's been revealed he has Alzheimer's... one of the few diseases I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. He's taking it surprisingly nicely. My best wishes for his family and lots of patients. Because, sadly, it won't get easier... Especially, if the gaps between lucidity and not become large enough that the lucid part starts begging for death.

I'm not crying, because this mews teiggered a memory... it's the pollen amd the onion chopping ninjas.

Sony has decided that 2027 will be my last year in gaming.

And they are closing up legacy Playstation stores... starting with PS3/Vita. So the future is Digital Only amd fuck you and your access to games you bought... sorry rented.

But starting 2028, no more physical media for Playstation.  Remember that a few days back, they lost access to studio canal films and basically told consumers to eat a dick as the movies will disappear from your libraries... not even a partial refund. 

Now watch as games get ridiculous price increases in Digital Only formats and the inability to upgrade storage space... and watch as consoles become $1K+ 

RIP my gaming experience: 1987-2027

Silverhawks stands at Super7: $20 bucks and a new wave

 Chi chi chi amo... those who grew up watching the LatAm dub know the reference...

But first this nifty stand... it may set you back $20 plus shipping. This should be an evergreen item, but they're made to pre-order.

They look fine, especially the segmented tail for yes-man. Pokerface is missing his neon rose. Copper Kidd's bird is not a whistle. Las time I tried pre-ordering from Super7 I got told that they will no longer use USPS for pre-ordering, therefore I'll only get Yes-Man from BBTS. There's no way I'm paying $110+ for shipping. To put things in perspective. I paid $80 shipping for Snake Mountain.

Well, Happy Century Mel Brooks!

 Mel Brooks turns 100 today... Holy Shit!

Thanks for all the comedy...
