Odds ‘n Ends

Odds N Ends

Having some trouble getting my ducks in a row this morning, so let’s start with an Odds ‘n Ends.

  • As the entire world knows by now, Disney is buying Marvel Entertainment. Will Disney interfere with its everyday operations or will they leave well enough alone, as they’ve done with Pixar? Time will tell.
  • Personally, though, I think it’s obvious this merger is happening solely so Jesse Falcon can revive Legendary Comic Book Heroes and produce a Rocketeer figure. It’s so obvious.
  • I saw at TRU they’ve released 12″ versions of those crappy Pro-Bots figures. No accounting for taste, I guess.
  • Speaking of TRU, I actually came across a Deadshot and a Guardian at one over the weekend, believe it or not. Deadshot was the only figure I wanted from DCUC9 (review forthcoming). Suffice to say I was surprised and pleased to actually find a new DCUC figure in Massachusetts a mere month after they first showed up.
  • Question of the day: Which MOTU variants–from the original series, New Adventures or 2002–would you actually like to see in MOTUC? Aside from anything that’s already been announced, like BA He-Man and Skeletor. And don’t say Smash Blade He-Man–it’s not funny.

    So Disney buys Marvel, but the rage is still fresh to rag on MOTUC and DCUC like there's no tomorrow? RIIIGHT!

    Blech, I don't think I could stomach King Randor, Princess Adora and Prince Adam in one year. Don't even joke about that.

  3. @Poe: Yeah, as much as I'd like a cloth vest, I think plastic would be for the best.

    @PrfktTear: I really, really hope they go with a soft plastic vest and not a cloth one…

    There were at least three NA Skeletors (I know 'cause I had 'em). The third was also in the armor with the skull on his chest, but had NO HEAD COVERING! It was so scandalous that I couldn't say no. (He had a tiara thing and stringy black hair.)

    Sign me up for wanting to see some NA love in the line, if only to see how it'd mesh with the vintageyness. That dragon armor Skeletor could be cool, too, as it wouldn't really need a working gimmick to make sense, unlike, say, Thunder Punch He-Man. (Who would neither punch nor thunder.)
