Super7: a rant:

 Since Mattel has an embargo on TMNT, Super7's TMNT might be done.

D&D is dead

GI Joe is dead

Silverhawks still has a little life, but I got most of who I wanted.

I dunno the state of Tigersharks.

Thundercats is done for me unless we get a shorter Pumyra.

I kinda want Invincible, but the deluxe have so little, it's pointless. Even the Ultimates have been found lacking... despite being $5 shy of a 200% of their original pricing.

Let's see if they hit us with surprices for NYTF...

That aren't ReAction+ stuff.

Thinking on the McFarlane Lara and other games

 The Lara could use some extra accessories... via weapons pack: 

Medipacks

Flare box

Other weapons

Key items from past games (dagger of Xian, the Scion, save crystal)

But Todd could, I dunno work with other game makers *cough* Konami *cough* to get Castlevania and MGS... 

In both cases deluxe and basic figures paired with accessory packs.

Sega's Altered Beast made by McFarlane would be amazeballs... 

Bloody Roar would look cool too.

Battle Arena Toshinden doesn't get that much love...

Not gonna mention this...

Variable Geo would give Todd the ick... and I don't think the west is ready for a toyline based on a fighting eroge.

Mcfarlane does Lara...

 Surprised he chose a line with a female lead since girls have cooties according to him.

I dunno but doesn't it feel like McFarlane just copied Hasbro and made the copy crappy?

At least Hasbro added lore shit combining Classic with NuLara. Lara needs 2 picks to climb. Buut there is only One reason to get the Todd Lara:

Tom Holland.

Twinkie Candy Bar

 Yes it's  real.

Also tastes like ass

Has a weird texture and is the first candy bar I've not eaten in its entirety because it tastes like ass...

Hey hey hey what is going on here? Fuck you Haley Joel Osment!

 Sora's Necrovision took Mr. Belding from us.

First Screech, now Belding... maybe it's the curse from The New Class.

I cannot talk much about him because to me he was Dick Belding Bayside's Principal.

Really? What in the Hideo Kojima is this bullshit?

 Nicholas Winding Refn died and came back to life 25 minutes after.

Yes, the guy who mocapped for Heartman was dead about the same time as his character and brought back to life...

I can't even... now we need Norman Reedus doing Doordash or Uber Eats.

My guesses on the 6 figures before Storm folds on Third Strike

 Aside the Shotos: Because Ryu, Ken, Sean, and Akuma are a given.

Gill:

Mainly because we get an Urien Reuse, so it looks like they did more.

Q:

It requires a soft goods coat but it's a business suit body that if they play it smart can be used for Urien

Remy:

For some reason people like him.

Elena:

Plain body sculpt with skimpy clothes.

Chun Li:

It's Street Fighter of course we get Chun Li 

Yang:

Part reuse for Yun.

They can get up to 12 characters there.

My Storm Collectibles Zangief Broke...

I warned folks back in 2017  about the shoulder issues.

The Right shoulder cup disintegrated and the left is on its way. I tried the baking soda + superglue trick, the tissue paper plus superglue dangerous pseudo micarta trick... nothing works. Why am I mentioning this now?

Storm Collectibles can't finish a roster and now they're adding SF III Third Strike.

I hope Jada sticks to their guns and finish the SFZ3 roster.

Sony's new patent is problematic

 DualSense conteollers being able to tap pay is evil. This is allowing illegal purchases by kids tapping their parents credit cards to the controller. This is so messed up. This isn't to make things easier for customers.

What if Mattel were to do Playmates designs for TMNT?

 Remember how Mattel won against Don Glut?

What if Mattel could use the argument that Playmates was doing work under license for Mirage and that allows Mattel to access the OG Library?

Would be sweet... so let's take 10 characters and 5 vehicles... because Playsets I trust Mattel a bit more. Making them compatible for 5.5 and 6.5 scales... essentially making them for 6.5 and selling them for 5.5 scale. Also, these would be "new Eternia styled" reimaginings for TMNT.

Basically a new design but with enough parts that can be swapped/removed to make Playmates looking toys.

Figures:

Pizzaface

Halfcourt

King Lionheart

Scaletail

April the Ravishing Reporter

Irma

Burne

Vernon

Walkabout

Chrome Dome 

Vehicles:

Party Wagon

Foot Cruiser

Ninja Newscycle

Turtle Tenderizer

Turtle Cycle

While I want the Footski and maybe a Technodrome scout vehicle, I'm going with those first because it keeps the fight grounded.

But I hope that for NYTF Mattel will show TMNT stuff.

Top 10 Final Fight Characters I want Jada to tackle

 List will be rather short: 

The style will be based on the Final Fight games... Will not use Characters that are in SFA:

10) Belger:

He'd be deluxe due to the wheelchair AND Jessica. With soft goods dress to recreate the japanese intro

9) Damnd:

The Stage 1 Boss. He returns for SF6 but we are looking at FF.

8) Maki:

She was in FF2 but I remember her mostly for CVS2.

7) Lucia:

Mainly for SFV but she was in FF3

6) Poison:

For the Andore as a SFIII reference  and that she can get a Roxy redeco.

5) Andore:

 Basically Hugo. We could get repaints for the stage 3 scene.

4)Abigail:

Not the SF6 Giant... the Andore repaint woth different head.

3)Edi.E:

Corrupt poliecman with a gun. Has a cameo in a Cody winpose in Alpha.

2) Mike Haggar:

Like hell I was leaving him out. He's like THE Final Fight guy

1) Cody:

I need a Free Cody...

It came from the Toy Chest: Sashimi Rollin' they hatin'

 Teeny Tinies has arrived... not the TMNT ONE, but instead I got the Sashimi one.

Tmnt is on its way. Like the Charcuterie and the others I didn't review, these are static food items that in some cases are inferior to miniverse and minibrands BUT TO FILL LARGE SPREADS for parties and banquets they work.

Pic not mine but has all contents

I won't rate these because it's just sculpt. Some can be mid.

There is another Sushi Set but I haven't found it.

I'm afraid of buying unbranded sushi pieces from ebay and amazon as scalrs could be weird.

They are OK... 

Shenmue the Animation in English is MIA

 I wanted to watch Shenmue the Animation legally in our 2026th uear of the lord. Well, I'm fucked.

But Crunchyroll only has it on Japanese.

So, it's  Japanese or nothing....

It's  a shame...

Also, as a consolation prize they have this:

Yeah... At least I have Ace Attorney, Macadamia Vigolantes, amd the final season of Knights of the Zodiac a formerly Netflix series.

But Macadamia vigilantes has a Jojorine...

Behold the Jojorine.

Vulvana progress: it's been a hassle

 The horns didn't want to attach properly.

Got the earrings and the ribbon... fuck me it's  a pain in the ass. I may have to drill more holes on the head to glue the earrings and ribbon.

Now I know why I don't normally do customs. I need to buy some color change paint for the horns...

WWE Hardcore items: a rant

 Sorry: Extreme Rules... They are shying away from Hardcore, because porn.

This list started due to the light bulbs from the Ringside hardcore items set.

I wanna see more of these, because they help with other displays... like breakable crates, trashcans fire extinguishers... I know some of these are readily available. But I'm looking for stuff to be also available in other lines and usable with WWE. In a reverse WWE accessories thing.

Like say Casey Jones having broken wooden bats  and bent metal bats in a TMNT Weapons pack that happens to be compatible with WWE figures. 

Like the old Jakks grapple gear packs that featured parking meters, parking blocks, tires, etc. 

A lot of those things have cross compatibility with the upcoming TMNT line if they're 6.5 inch scale. Which mattel should do. In a way that's how they can get WWE compatible hardcore stuff if WWE won't allow it. 

Street Fighter popcorn bucket

 Goes with everything... it's Guile's hair.

Now what will they do for soda?

I'm not feeling Ravenous

 Feels too much like Metroid Dread.

Not a baaad thing but... it's not like I NEEDS TO GET A SWITCH 2 for it... anyways, I mentioned it because I hadn't earlier... Zero Suit Samus, Hasbro, when?

Fuckdammit! Shuma Girath Purple Repaint is here

And in a totally un-Hasbro move is cheaper than the green one.

 

Miniverse From Scratch: a rant

 I got a couple of them.

I hate them. Especially the animal cookie one.

Mine didn't look remotely as good. The rubber dough dried out too fast for me. I only got like 5 cookies. $10 wasted.

This next video has the other two items I got.

These are Ass... there I said it... the positove is that the animal cookies one has a rolling pin for Pizzaface Jr. Do not get... they are ass.

These are not worth it.

It came from the Toy Chest: Ringside Collectibles Hardocre pack

 I don't buy from Ringside often, because there isn't a huge variety in accessories. Most of them seem the same as Figures Toy Company's.

Roughly ⅔ of the accessories called my attention as I had never seen them on FTC's line-up:

Here we go!

FINISH HIM!

The Rack with Barbed wire is in both sites. It's bigger than I expected. 

Sadly the Pizza cutter has a puny handle

I hope the one from Teeny Tinies is better. The main Item I wanted was disappointing.

I wish we had More of these. Dammit, where's that 40-year old virgin clip?

Cuffs aren't the best, but they work... on Super7 figures.

Nailed 2×4 and a barbed wired bat... they're decent. Mught give the board to Rat King I.

Mikey: Like Hyah! Dude...
April 30th will be Legendary.

The Torch was another on the most wanted items. The trash can is OK.

Mikey: Nyeh nyeh nyeh myeeeeeeeh!
I Have a Pony Jar! Need to place pony and fill it with... you get the idea.

Mikey: Whoa! You almost fell into those thumbtacks and Barbed wire...
Trump: You saved me...
Mikey: Yeah, so I could ask you about my a
DOGE check, my Tariff Check, and my Vote Republican on the Midterms... that's like $12K you owe me, dude.

The next Items are familiar territory.
