Friday Round-Up: The Out of a Rut Edition
Hey kids, it’s Friday and that means some links from yours truly. Enjoy your free link entertainment and have a great weekend. For those of you still using the web, I plan on having more updates. I’m update crazy, watch out!
Item: Baby heads!
Item: Halo Points from the McFarlane Halo figures are finally redeemable. Just like I thought, you don’t get jack for one figure’s worth of points.
Item: Great White Snark posted a cake that I’d love to eat and wish was a real place.
Item: There’s a Star Wars rumor list out there that includes the Juggernaut/Turbo Tank on the vehicle list. Is another huge vehicle due this year?
Item: Poe Ghostal posted an item that reminded me of my childhood “play patterns” and how my imagination was affected by the cartoons of my youth. Good stuff.
Item: Big Bad Toy Store is having a winter clearance sale. Check it out if you have money!
Item: Just putting this out there, but if you want to submit something for posting here on ToyBender, send me an email. Your work can be seen by literally dozens of people. Seriously!
Item: While I enjoy watching The Clone Wars on Fridays, I’ve found that I’m really digging The Brave and the Bold. It’s mostly for kids, but there’s enough in there for a comic fan to enjoy. Anyone else digging the show as much as I am?

I am also becoming an unabashed fan of The Brave and the Bold. It leavens the bad-ass, prepared-for-all-contingencies Batman with exactly the right sprinkling of levity. It’s fun, dammit. I’m not going to run out and buy the oddly proportioned toys or anything, but I am enjoying the show.

Brave and the Bold is lots of fun, and if Mattel has any sense (something of a big “if” these days), they’ll put out a few larger-size B&TB figures for collectors, sans giant plug-holes.
P.S. I love Tyrannosaurs.

Ok, ok. You people talked me into it with your talk of “fun” and “plug-holes”. I’ll give Brave and the Bold a chance.

GWS, lol they have weird holes in the sides of the figures. I think you’ll like the show. It’s really fun and not insulting to the adult viewer.

I keep lazily missing the episodes due to… well… the internet so thus I find my way to get ahold of it either by rerun or other… methods.

With your mother.
