So over the weekend I was looking at my MOTUC Mer-Man and remembered hearing his weapon derogatorily referred to as a “corn sword” (moreso the original version than the MOTUC one). Curious to see what Google had to say about the term, I punched it in…I think the first result speaks for itself. Pleased to [...]
This is a page from the mini-comic “Danger at Castle Grayskull,” which came with the original Talon Fighter toy. It was the second of a two-story comic, and it came with a record so you could follow along and listen to the story. I’m pretty damned sure I had this as a kid–I know I [...]
I’ve resisted the urge to post every mildly amusing geek-related video I come across–and I’m sure 99% of you have already seen this–but it was too amazing not to post. That’s one hell of a cast. The Ballad of G.I. Joe from Olivia Wilde
(Warning: there’s more than a few f-bombs in this video, so probably NSFW.) My favorite part is Wheeljack’s argument about going for “authenticity.” Even as a kid, I did think it was weird Wheeljack built the Dinobots as idiots when he didn’t have to.

I always like to start the day with a little surrealism, so please enjoy “Chahiye He-Man He-Man,” a song from the Indian film Nafrat Ki Aandhi, apparently. Try not to ask yourself whether the main woman is supposed to be Teela or Evil-lyn, or why Orko is wearing a shiny red muumuu, or why this [...]

Now that we’ve hashed out the whole “flaws” thing, let’s finish the weekend on a lighter note with this Lost parody starring McFarlane’s hilariously under-articulated action figures.
Excuse me, DC Direct, but…what the f*** are these things? Y’know, other than the horrifying dream-spawn of a deranged Christmas elf who fell asleep reading the Necronomicon. Blammoids, man. They creep me out.
