ODD: I spent twenty minutes making a list of movie sequel subtitles before settling on this one. The things I do for you people!
END: October is Halloween Month at PGPoA, and I am so not ready. The site’s design is prepped, thanks to the hard work of Webmaster OB1 (sounds like one of those novelty geek rappers), but I’m having to work on bringing the mojo. But fear not, the mojo shall be brought, even if I have to draw it out with leeches.
ODD: Toy Bender totally ripped me off. He asked nicely first, though, so we’re cool.
END: I’m going to be honest here: I’ve hit that period where the waiting for the next case of DCUC starts to make me a bit grumpy. It wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t been teased with the possibility of a DCUC4 case by now, and by the photos of series 4 and 5 at The Fwoosh and AFTimes. Review sets are the work of the devil.
ODD: It looks like Hasbro’s Indiana Jones toy line is coming to an end. I think its failure may indicate something about the true size of the action figure collectors’ market: it’s just not large enough to support a low-priced mass market line without significant child interest as well. Update: Toy Bender has a more thought-out take on why the line tanked.
END: A question occasioned by Mistah Plow: why aren’t there any Marvel Comics Lego sets? Particularly Iron Man, who seems like a natural for the concept.
ODD: I managed to score an unmasked Deathstroke off eBay for a reasonable price. How reasonable? You’ll have to wait for my end-of-the-year haulage post to find out. Expect plenty more Deathstroke glamour shots in the near future.
END: Poe’s Patented CSI Miami mini-review: “Won’t Get Fueled Again” Rather boring ep. Identified the culprit earlier than usual. Not enough Horatio. New ME needs a lot more character development.
