Just a couple quick notes about the website this morning. OB1 and I implemented a few changes over the weekend, and I wanted to point them out. 1.) The “Latest Toy News” has now become a “Toy Reviews Feed.” It’s a compromise between trying to put together regular Fanmode-style collections of reviews and not posting [...]
Dr. Mrs. Ghostal was out of town over the weekend, so Saturday I hung out with Poesters PrfktTear and Ed Lee. We watched Green Lantern: First Flight (I thought it was fairly good, but not as good as Wonder Woman, and also, we’d just seen this story in an episode of Brave and the Bold) [...]
Did Mattel really manage–in a single convention–to create what could become lingering, Holiday Hal-like sore spots for both the DCUC and MOTU collector communities? Or will they be forgiven and forgotten by this time next year?
Some of you may remember me trying out a forum way back when. After a while I decided to put it on the backburner, but now I’ve decided to give it another shot: http://www.poeghostal.com/forum You can register here (it’s very simple–no lengthy boilerplate here). And note: your registration will also work for posting comments here [...]
Dr. Mrs. Ghostal and I are off for the wilds of New Hampshire to celebrate our one-year anniversary. (If you’re good, maybe Paul will toss up a post or two while I’m gone.) I’ll be back bright and early Monday morning to “celebrate” He-Ro Day. Until then, may your joints be tight and your paint [...]
The Hellboys I got from Entertainment Earth, I bought Prince Nuada at a Newbury Comics, and the rest were trades. The first one is Magnokor from the Inhumanoids, then the two Hellboy figures, then Mr. Wink, Nuada, and Lucifer from Dark Alliance (Lucifer’s standing on the Moore Collectibles action figure display base, which was produced [...]
Sadly, the editor of Fanmode has decided to stop compiling weekly toy reviews. I know from experience that this is a time-consuming task, so I certainly don’t blame him. However, this means I have to decide what to do for PGPoA. I’m not inclined to write my own roundups because, again, it’s time-consuming. So there [...]
I won’t be attending this modern-day penny dreadful, but I know some of you will and might want to write about it, for good or ill. So consider this post your roundtable for Revenge of the Fallen reviews and discussion. Feel free to post spoilers, because I don’t care. Here’s one I can give you [...]
Just a couple quick notes: I’m considering making Onan the Barbarian a regular It Figures feature (once a week, probably on Fridays). I like having something of a recurring, signature character. However, he’s arguably a rather gross, childish concept, and I realize it’s quite possible I’m amusing myself far more than I’m amusing most of [...]
I’m looking for someone who’s going to SDCC, will be attending the Mattel panels (DC and MOTU) and perhaps a few others, and would be able to send Tweets from their phone or some other device during the panels. If you’re interested, shoot me an email.
