Top 10 Musical artists/groups that I'd like to see in Ultimates!
That aren't this guy;
This list is 100% Vanilla Ice free... aside this reference.I know that last week I made a random list that included some music people. It was THAT rant that made me make this one. But it's 10 Musical acts that aren't Vanilla Ice. I will also NOT include Weird Al, Fresh Cuck, Steven Seagal, or Jackie Chan.
See? Seagal is a Musical act.
And Jackie Chan will make a Cantonese Man out of me.
Actually, these don't need to be Ultimates.These could easily work as Deluxe releases. Also, I'm not saying it, so I can't get another Violent J and repaint it as Guy Fieri... or the guy from Smashmouth.
Like with Dolly, soft goods outfit for articulation reasons.

Top 20 Celebs I'd like to have Ultimates! of
Things are a bit slow since there's very little game news, or toy news other than Amazon's Technodrome for the vintage TMNT has been delayed. So, instead of making another TMNT list, I'm branching out to celebs...

It came from the Toy Chest: The car only rins when I say "What!?"
I received a Wal-Mart WWE Wrekkin' Stone Cold Crusher Monster Truck... it has soft tires. It has a spring loaded action feature and obviously the breakable parts. There is a second version of this truck without the Stone Cold motif and figure. I got this as a very belated birthday present from my cousin. Apparently she read my rant whining about Wal-Mart canceling my preorder. You freaking rock!
Let's get the action feature out of the way.
Honestly I'm not entirely sure if it's supposed to work that way because underneath that breakable part there's a disc with footholes to make Stone Cold stand there. So let's try it again without the back cover:![]() |
| NECA can use it instead. |

Crazy idea for Super7 Ultimates: Vanilla Ice!!
No I am not off my rocker or off my meds... I'm actually suggesting Vanilla Ice Ultimates figures. No, it's not all about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze, though it's partially an influence. But hear me out...

Maury Povich is retiring...
Maury Povich is a talk show host. Some would say the last of the shocking TV Talk show hosts... think a less trashier version of Jerry Springer. He is also the source of the "You ARE NOT the father" videos where men do victory dances as the women who tried ro deceive them cry and throw tantrums.
He also had special days where the late Jack Hanna would show animals.
He also had episodes of people with weird phobias... Bring out the Olives!!
The glee on Maury's face when he summons the item the people fear in the phobia episodes is borderline Psychotic!!!
But he also ran episodes of problematic kids who are sent to Boot Camp to be scared straight.
If I recall correctly, I've mentioned Maury before back when this blog was in diapers. I seem to remember something about saying that this show and Springer were mind rotting Television and that I loved them for it. Sadly around 09 the local Fox Network and what is now CW started broadcasting "local" programing from the Virgin Islands... so, Maury, Springer, and other brain rotting talk shows were out! Needless to say that aside from Random clips seen on YouTube, I haven't seen the Maury Show in over 13 years... Now the old man is retiring! Also he's been doing this for 31 years... starting 3 weeks earlier than Springer ans lasting nearly 4 years after Springer being over... meaning that I watched close to 18 years of This... garbage. I love it, but it still is garbage!This getting old thing kinda sucks...

I WAS going to Puerto Rico Comic Con.
But due to my Greater responsibilities, I'm unable to do so... and The Universe pulled off the biggest prank on me...
The Destroyer of Mattycollector could've faced the Destroyer of Masters of the Universe... face to face... Yes, Kevin "The Destroyer of Masters of the Universe, Keeper of Mr. Brownstone's 2 year erection to rape Black Cat" Smith is coming to Puerto Rico Comic Con.
This would've been almost as epic as me meeting Neitlich, but the Universe is wise and knows that I'd do something stupid and get myself banned from PRCC... the real question is: is he on his own or is his hetero-life partner coming with him?
Update:
Apparently no Mewes and it's $75 for pic and an additional $75 for Autograph. For a Comic Book writer, Movie Director, and actor it's a reasonable price...

Is Wrestling still relevant?
With WWE going PG and writing going down the toilet, is wrestling still relevant? Before people mention AEW or Impact, hear me out.
Impact died unceremoniously, because it bit a lot more than it could chew. Being a recycling center for former WWE Talent.
AEW it's a decent alternative to the WWE, but it still has a couple of issues that worry me:

| Back then, ring rivals would never be that chummy in public. This means that The pic where fierce rivals are hanging out would've been a lot more shocking! Nowadays it's Tuesday. |

Undertaker's retirement: the rant
I know that Wrestling has tried to move away from gimmicky characters like Taker, in order to validate the Sports part of Sports Entertainment. This is mostly due to UFC stealing some of the WWE and wrestling in general's thunder. The problem is that wrestling is better when it has these cartoony gimmicky characters. I'm also aware how social media keeps ruining kayfabe.
Wrestling was the equivalent of Comic Book movies today back in an era where comic book movies weren't a thing.
Heck, the whole Gimmicky character thing has inspired other things that are still popular today... Think about it:
The showboating Actor, the Sumo guy, The freakish monster, the Real American Hero, the big bad Russian...
Am I describing Videogame characters or WWF era wrestlers?
Crap! I got side tracked again! In any case, Thank you Undertaker...

Storm Collectibles is having me scream Dare da! Dare da! Dare da!
They are going to make Gatchaman toys...
They have the Street Fighter line now they're also doing Gatchaman... it's almost like Storm Collectibles is suddenly doing a Tatsunoko vs Capcom line without actually doing one.
the best part about this is that it's a rather small lineup:
The 5 members of the team, Berg Katse (with a Sosai X display piece) the Galactor soldier, and maybe Dr. Nambu.
But in a worst case scenario I KNOW that Ken the Eagle and Jun the Swan will be in my collection... maybe Joe the Condor... but wow... freaking Gatchaman...

Top 20 random waves/single figures I would like to see in "compatible with MOTUC" stylr
They are Flynn mentioned that he has ideas for some one-off figures do be made in the Classics Style.
I don't necessarily know what B-Flynn has in mind, but if I werein his spot, here's what Id like to see:
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys:
This of course should be a wave. Herc, Iolaus, Autolycus, Ares.
This wave is a decent wave where you have characters that are popular and they can easily be used with the following wave idea...
Xena: Warrior Princess:
You think that I would mention Hercules the Legendary Journeys without mentioning Xena...
The way would consist of Xena, Gabrielle, Callisto, and Joxer the Mighty.
you know it's a great idea don't don't try to let don't try to lie and act all serious because I can hear you humming the joxer theme...
The Beastmaster:
We are getting Conan from Super7, I'm suggesting Hercules, Xena, and Clash of the titans... well Clash of the titans is the next suggestion. We need Beastmaster to complete the 80s and 90s. Here I just want the Beastmaster himself. Anything else is a bonus
Clash of the Titans:
Perseus, Calibos, Andromeda, Medusa... and I better get a freaking Bubo as an accessory. BUBO IS MANDATORY. And of course I'm talking about the 80s Clash of the Titans not the shitty reboot.
Miyamoto Usagi:
I suggest making him outside the Ninja Turtles line in order to have the true hakama and kimono look for him. I hate his look on the original Turtles toy line.
The Princess Bride:
I cannot talk 80s Fantasy and not mention The Princess Bride.
The wave would be: Fezzik, Buttercup, Humperdink, and Count Tyrone Rugen. An additional 2 pack of Inigo and Westley would be released later if the wave sells well.
and there you have a 20 figures split in waves individual figures or multipacks that I would like to see made in a style compatible with Masters of the Universe classics.
I had to skip Legend because of Tom Cruise's likeness clause, I skipped Willow because I really don't care much for it I know, blasphemy... and other properties I would like to see NECA and storm Collectibles are taking care of them... but seriously a team-up between joxer and the mighty Spector would be absolutely hilarious

Elton John will host a virtual concert for my Birthday!!!
Coronavirus!!
Luckily Cardigan Backyardigan is not part of the concert.
Billie Eilish, Alicia Keys, Tim McGraw, Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, Mariah Carey, and THE BACKSTREET BOYS will be giving a concert that conveniently falls on my Birthday.
Normally something like this would have flown under my
Radar, but if they're going to sing aomething, I only want ONE song:
In any case, I hope I'm able to check this out, because I need to let the teenage girl that lives deep don inside of me to have some fun.

Bob Ross: the rant.
Bobu Rosu to no kaiga yorokobi wa sugoi desu ne!!
Ai shiteru Bobu Rosu-sama!!
Best anime since Uchinonaka no Korī...
All jokes aside: Bob Ross is a controversial topic in the art community. Some people think he's a fraud for utilizing "Wilhelm Alexander's method" and becoming mire popular than Alexander himself. Others simply think his art is shallow and not using real landscapes being an act of cheating.
The thing is that Bob Ross was Prometheus. He gave the average Joe, and Jane the ability to begin painting.
His preferred skillset seems "basic" to experts. That is precisely the whole point about Bob Ross. he was the training wheels of painting if painting was a bicycle... or the opening course at a huge dinner. Then there is the whole soothing aura that Mr. Ross emanated. It's highly unlikely that I will take up oil painting, but I love watching reruns of The Joy of Painting whether on YouTube, Netflix, or even PBS. The fact is that he is so relaxing that after a hard shift, I get home I watch an episode and then drift on Morpheus's arms... the deity, not Laurence Fishburne.
Whether you like him or hate him you can't deny that Bob Ross is a cultural icon and tried to bring some more appreciation to the art of painting. It doesn't matter if he was a great artist or not. what matters is how Inspire others to take on the brushes.

Street Fighter is Raul Julia's greatest movie
Think about it. Who's the most memorable character in that movie?
He was campy and scenery chewing when it was needed and could add gravitas to the role when it was required...
Not only all of this, but performing and doing action scenes while being fatally ill, THAT is dedication to the craft. (I know that Down came a blackbird was his final final performance, but it was a drama and we know of his LEGENDARY dramatic chops, and he had a great cast.)
Think about it: Street Fighter is a really bad movie. Raul Julia literally carried the entire movie on his back, WHILE BEING FATALLY ILL. That is why I think that Street Fighter is his greatest movie... because without Raul Julia you have nothing. Well maybe a generic Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. In all of his other movies he had great cast members that could carry the movie with him but not Street Fighter.

Undertaker retired after Wrestlemania XXX III and other stuff.
(shown here Taker's Mid-Life Crisis stage)
Well, after losing to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania XXX III... he's walking away... Insert Dead Man Walking snide remark here.
I got to be honest here... Taker's retirement is a bit too late... It should've been at Wrestlemania XXX where the Streak ended. Wasting the streak on Lesnar was stupid...
My name is Stephen Amell. For five years I was stranded playing Superhero with one goal, make Green Arrow cooler than Batman. Now I will fulfill my fans' wishes and make GA badass.To do this I must become someone else. I must become the American Ninja Warrior...
I hope you read that in his voice, otherwise I wasted my time.
What else can I say about this... I hope he competes in a GA suit, cause Stephen Amell...
Guess what was my reaction to this:
Guess who has two thumbs and is going to see this movie?
Yeah, it's me... got a problem with me liking Pastel Colored Equines from a Rhode Island Toy Company? This October, bitches!!

Wait... Twilight Sparkle is Ben 10!?
So, this is my starting point on stuff that had Tara Strong on it...
Beetlejuice the Animated Series... (Yes, she's been on stuff earlier than this, but this is the earliest thing I remember watching with her on it.) Also, fellow Pony VA Tabitha St. Germain (Rarity, Princess Luna, Derpy...) seems to have done some Voice work here as well... But back on topic... Here she played the snobby Claire Brewster among other voices...
Now we move on to... the cartoon based on the ultimate Product placement from THE WIZARD... I'm talking about the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon!
She's been on some live action stuff as well... but my emphasis will be cartoons and games mostly... Heck! She even appeared on the TV series Forever Knight... something that most people I know say that I made it up! A Vampire cop... It sounds crazy... but true!
The next thing I remember with her on it was Tekkaman Blade 2: Here she played Yumi
She also had a few appearances on the 90s X-Men series... (in which Alyson Court... Lydia from the Beetlejuice toon played Jubilee) the one I remember was where she played Colossus' sister Ilyanna Rasputin...
(Any reason to post this intro is good enough for me...)
The next thing I remember that had her doing some voicework was very Extreme! but don't worry... it was not that awful GI Joe Extreme... It was Extreme Ghostbusters!
Guess who she was playing... Not Janine...
She was also Batgirl!! (and young Batgirl in the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker movie...)
Nothing better than being threatened by Bubbles!! Hey! I got a clip of Tara herself doing Bubbles... OK, roll the PPG intro!
Huf fa suja du suna ehdanacdehk cdivv... Damn the Al Bhed and their Machina!
She was Rikku in Final Fantasy X, it's sequel X-2, and a Fairy-like Rikku in Kingdom Hearts II!
Yes, I know I skipped Rugrats... but I've always hated Dil... as a Baby... I liked Dil better in All Grown up! Heh! Tara worked here with Cree Summer... (as well as in the FFX games...) Their paths seem to cross a lot...
She's also been on Family Guy doing additional voices... You learn something every day...
As mentioned in the title of this rant she's Ben Tennyson!?
Yes, she was Young Ben... before he was voiced by the same dude who voices Uchiha Sasuke...
I'm forgetting a very popular role she did... Teen Titans! She was Raven!
Wait she was Omi form Xiaolin Showdown!? Whoa!!
Ah... Before I take a turn to the 2 strangest roles of her VA career, (IMO) let me get out of the way her appearances on Butch Hartman shows... (Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom)
On Fairly Oddparents she was Timmy Turner!! (Freaking hard to find Fairly Oddparents clips that are not the Live action Movie with Drake Bell)
On Danny Phantom she was Ember...
With that out of the way, let's talk Drawn Together... Here she played two characters: Toot Braunstein and Princess Clara... The latter's voice sounds a LOT like Twilight Sparkle... Now, add Video editing powers and we get: THIS!
Oh, Celestia!! What has the internet done!?
Now as we step away from Drawn Together... great show, but not everyone's cup of tea, dark and crude humor, extremely tasteless at times (and it also has Cree Summer in it...)
Let me go to Videogames...
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has her as Ursula/Elisa... IIRC same girl Bi-Polar Personality Disorder...
She returns as another character for another MGS
Oh Hideo's not so subtle attempt at preaching for peace... Paz
Her faux Latin accent sounds kinda sexy...
Well, she's also played a role previously played by a fellow Pony VA... Andrea Libman! I'm talking about Wolverine's "clone-daughter" X-23... So, when I kick butt with X-23 in MVC3 is like I'm kicking butt with Twilight Sparkle!!
OK, I knew she was Sari on Transformers Animated... but I didn't knew this!!
Here she was Scarlet Witch, Invisible Woman and I think she was Iron-toddler on an Episode... (I think Cree Summer played Toddler-Falcon)
She also replaced Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn for Batman: Arkham City...
She played a younger version of Will Friedle's Lion-O in the 2011 Thundercats!
And last but not least: TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!
You can check her entire career at the IMDB... but all I have to say is WOW! She's been in a LOT of stuff that I like... Almost as much as Cam Clarke... Whoa!! I have to thank Ms. Strong for being involved in so much stuff that I've enjoyed throughout the years... Games, Toons... A lot of these I didn't knew that it WAS her until checking out IMDB... Hopefully she'll keep showing up on more stuff that many people (myself included) enjoy... Got to play some Peace Walker now... In the name of Peace, Peace!
