A new year, a new decade, a new week, a new week in review. Now onto the new news:
In the Microverse:
catching up a bit here, the last group of figures in the secret Wars two packs have been discovered. Nightcrawler, Thing, Bulldozer, Storm (with completely undated and not ridiculous looking mohawk), Dr. Doom, Absorbing Man and a wasp so tiny that you’re going to lose it within five seconds of opening the package. That’s clearly part of Hasbro’s insidious plan to make you spend more money buying extras. Wasp is sculpted out of tiny hate.
Fwoosher’s have begun the speculation of when we’ll get the Wrecker to finish up the Wrecking Crew, a group long denied 6 inch fans. In a bid to one-up Mattel’s Gleek drama, I think he’ll be their SDCC exclusive, and won’t be available on their site afterward. Losers who can’t make it to SDCC are outta luck.
Continuing the trend of not making Juggernaut, Marvel Select announced Deadpool. Man, that’s old news. How long have I been asleep?
The third series of Secret Wars two packs have still not showed their tiny plastic faces, which means no Ultron yet. I don’t care if it’s 4 inches, I’m just glad to finally have an Ultron that doesn’t look like it was designed by Max Headroom. I have no idea what I meant like that. My random 80’s television show generator failed me…some would say for the last time.
WOULD SOMEBODY GET PABS A CROSSBONES!
In the Multiverse:
Series 12 is showing up, shortly after 11 is also trickling out. Matty’s like a bankrobber, except instead of leaving you huddled on the floor of the bank in a pool of your own tears and urine, he gives you toys. So not like a bankrobber at all. Kind of like Santa Claus. If Santa Claus was perpetually drunk. Speaking of matty, putting series 11 up on mattycollector.com was BRILLIANT! No muss, no fuss no searching, no swearing. Keep it up.
There’s still talk of the size of Darkseid. Some say he’s too big, some say he’s just right, others think he should have been Doomsday, one guy probably thinks he’s going to taste delicious. I don’t trust that guy. I don’t trust him at all.
Ray think Mxy will be made from that midget. Peacechip scoffs. Ray types in blue. Peacechip peacechips. It’s like a war of internet tics. I sold a blue peace chip in the eighties and made a ton of money. Suck it, Trebek!
In the Expanded Universe:
Holy crap, Battle cat looks awesome. FOR REAL. Adora and Battle Armor He-man come out this month. There’s still debate over flocking Moss Man and to a lesser extent Panthor. And possibly Skeletor, but only because he’s a closet furry, and likes to pound Evil-Lyn while she calls him “my pretty little kitty”. Dude’s got issues.
In the Bar with No Name:
Benbacca37 had a birthday on the 31st. If you’re a new poster, please post in the welcome to the fwoosh thread, so we may judge your worth. And if found worthy, you may post on the greatest toy themed website on the interwebbles. LIVE IN FEAR.
In the Multiplex:
Ending a rough year for celebrities, Brittany Murphy died at a very young age. Along with some other people. Like things weren’t bad enough being married to whatever it was she was married to. The grim Reaper’s a bit of a bastard.
Yeah, that’s all I’ve got.
