JESUS FUCKING CHRIST IT’S A BOX OF CLOWN DOLL HEADS
Who doesn’t love clown heads???
THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE
Seriously?
I kinda want to review this, but I can’t bring myself to spend the $2. Also - it’s 191 pages! And from what I read while flipping through, it’s not written for laughs. So weird.
This article is gonna be pretty weak, but it’s leading up to something a lot bigger. Promises.
As I stated in an earlier article, dinosaurs went through a sort of silver age in the 90s thanks to Jurassic Park (and We’re Back!, and The Land Before Time, and that creepy-as-all-hell Dinosaurs sitcom on Disney Channel). Everyone loved dinosaurs. I loved dinosaurs. However, once the 2000s rolled around, the dino fad all but disappeared from American pop culture as mysteriously as they disappeared 65 million years ago.
I’ve been checking out TRU’s JP toys, too. They’re nice to see but yeah, kind of expensive. Love the weird colors they’re busting out for some of the dinos, though.
I dunno, maybe I’m ruined by the memories of so many years of KB clearance sales. JP stuff used to sit there collecting dust with awesomely low prices basically until the chain shut down. I can no longer accept JP figures at retail. :(
Dinosaurs haven’t been as big as they were following the releases of Jurassic Park 1 & 2, but I definitely wouldn’t say they all but disappeared from American pop culture. Among other things — and aside from an odd period of a few months back in… 2009, I want to say… when I couldn’t find a triceratops to save my dino-loving soul — dinosaurs have never stopped being a constant in dollar store toy aisles and discount toy sections in grocery/one-stop shopping/craft stores. Though extinct, those scaly titans live on!
The Man Who Lives Alone
My Intro to Comics final about ghosts and love.
CHASE CHASE CHASE IS AWESOME
Cute… but if the ghost was such an attentive waifu, why did she let her man fall asleep holding a lit cigarette? Why didn’t she use her ghost powers to catch it when it fell, or summon ethereal winds to extinguish the flames the moment the floor caught fire?
Gee, I wish I had a girl who’d let me burn to death to keep me by her side for all eternity.

Could be more random, but I approve of this breakfast.
The EQG pamphlet is not fake; someone looked up info on the website link, and Hasbro DID register the domain name.

Until I see product, I’m totally insisting that Hasbro is trolling us with this “Equestria Girls” crap. Humanized ponies is cool for fanart and cosplay, but making it official… no. You wouldn’t do that to us, Hasbro. Right? RIGHT?! What’s that? No — you’re not hearing me, Hasbro. YOU WOULDN’T.
Okay, Hasbro totally would, and in fairness it sounds like it’s a one-shot DVD special… which sounds less awful than an ongoing series, but still like some terrible Monster High ripoff shit. Displeasure noted.
That said, if the new designs get 5-6” action figures — or 5-6” dolls with the level of articulation that the Monster High dolls sport (or better) — I’ll buy every blasted one of them.
their proportions are just keep getting worse tho
Yeah, I’m sorry, I hate these things. This is such a blatant and desperate attempt to catch up with “Monster High”. Newsflash, Hasbro: Monster High dolls are popular because they combine gothy monsters with fashion forward outfits. What you’re doing here is more like “fashion generic.” Rainbow Dash wearing bike shorts with a skirt over the top, what the hell is that?? It doesn’t make any sense for her character and ALSO doesn’t make any sense as an outfit! And you used pink in the skirt, the one color that guarantees that it clashes with her hair, nice job.
Something about Pinkie Pie especially ticks me off in this image … Her expression is just so not Pinkie. And why is her head jutting forward on her neck like that? Is it about to fall off?
The stupid thing is that if they wanted to capture the pre-teen girl market share, all they had to do was revive Jem. You know, the character who was ALREADY known for “glitter and glamour, fashion and fame”? She’s a rock star, just invent a Justin Bieber lookalike sidekick for her and have her hobnob with a Lady Gaga stand-in and you’d be gold.
They look just like Monster High characters now! The style is spot on!
Holy crap you’re right. Twi is in Frankie’s basic pose, Dash looks like Lagoona’s 2nd DotD pose…if I had my computer I’m sure I could match poses more but those are just the ones off the top of my head. Holy crap.
Am I missing a joke here? This is all feigned outrage, right? This image is clearly fake…
It’s freaky fun, though!
So I’ve heard of the soft head versions of some of the 1st line of TMNT figures but has anyone else heard of these ones with rubber arms and legs before? I’ve found no info on these guys so I find it kinda interesting.
Wes.
These come up from time to time on the Technodrome forums — so yeah, it’s probably a real thing (unless folks are making it up to make themselves seem awesome for owning variant toys). I don’t know that there’s a lot of info about them; they’re probably just initial batches or even defective figures (owing to incorrectly formulated plastic or something) that made it out into the wild.
