I already have the individual issues of Battle Nexus on Kindle. But there are moments that really make me want a physical version. So I went ahead and preordered the collected edition on Amazon.

It releases August 11. So, there's a bit of a wait.

I'm thinking it might have been a "couldn't you have told us about this abit sooner?" type thing.

If that's the case, she couldn't because she was under control salty goat face.

In fact, how did Raphael know to swipe the tail from salty goat face anyway?

So I bought the Alopex toy with the blue eye markings a while ago. But I never did see one with the purple eye markings. I found one on ebay yesterday. The box is damaged, but I don't really care about that as long as the toy itself is in good condition. And at $17 including tax and shipping...yeah, that was a heck of a find!

I should have it in a couple days. I'll have pictures then...maybe some of them board safe.

Well shoot! I'm sure you can tell I absolutely love Alopex...but I really just couldn't get into Splintered Fate.

I...may try to get back into it.

Edit:
Okay, so the DLC was only $3 and some change. So, fine. I did it for Alopex. Still not sure how I feel about Rogue games...but...Alopex.

I honestly like the blue face-paint one better. I like the cooler color pallet on the chest and leg wraps, the silver armor, the brown cape vs. the black one. I just find the colors more pleasing. But I still absolutely love having both of them now.

No ankle tilts like modern Transformers?

(I was wondering how she was standing up then I saw the white tail being used for support, haha)

Splintered Fate is on sale, so I’m leaning towards snapping it up. I‘m a bit mixed on the genre, as a whole. On the one hand, a couple of my all time favorites are of the genre (Hades and Dead Cells), but I’ve also tried games like Children of Morta and Rogue Legacy which have NOT clicked with me, so…
And that doesn’t even address the fact that, rogue and souls-likes are both VASTLY over-exposed genres at the moment.

I went ahead and got the DLC just because I love Alopex and it was cheap. I already own the game. I gave it a couple plays. I like seeing her in action, you know, instead of just static images in a comic book. I might give her some more playtime. But Rogue games really just aren't my kind of games.

Heads up, AMC is (in my area at least) showing TMNT2 Secret of the Ooze this weekend!

Yes, I already have the Blurays. For that matter, I should have the DVD's for the first 2 movies somewhere around here. But, dudes! 4K! No, I don't have a 4K television, but so what? I still need these in their best form.

Actually, even without a 4K television, you can still see some improvement.



$60 for all three movies, some really cool cards, posters and a booklet...and the movies.

There's sstill some grain in the first movie. I haven't started the other two movies yet. But even with the grain...it looks really good. I'm going to have to break down and get a 4K television at some point.

Thankfully, AMC was doing more than a one-week run; just got back from TMNT2. Ninety more minutes of gloriously cheesy 90s PG Action Movie, and I'm totally okay with that. The puppetry and animatronics are still great, because Henson Studios (and the 'In memory of Jim Henson' card in the opening got me a little bit). I also didn't know David Warner was in this one (also RIP).

Only bonus feature was Mr. Eastman talking a little about the history of the franchise while sketching out a character, and it being translated to a live-action fight scene intercut with it - how the first issue of the comic was a complete story because they weren't sure they'd get a second issue, the explosion of popularity leading to the OG cartoon and the first movie, generations of fans, and so on.

On a Turtle-adjacent note, got to thinking how much I'd like to see someone properly do Usagi Yojimbo. And there's the rub, I can't think of a studio that I'd trust to do an adaptation properly in the Modern Media Age - of any of the stories. I've looked up the crossover episodes with the various TMNT cartoons over the years, and they range from silly but okay to actually pretty dang good.
