Pizza Dog does sort of feel like a Chekov's Gun. When your story only has so many installments, you have to consider whether it's worth devoting time to any particular element. Does Pizza Dog serve a purpose in the story beyond fanservice? Has that purpose been fulfilled already? That sort...

One gets the feeling that Angel bunny doesn't care for the holiday season. ---Dave

Found the MadLibs book at Barnes & Noble, five bucks. If you're willing to wade through all the blanks, there's a little bit of extra lore about some of the characters in there. ---Dave

Of course, this is the MCU...you could have it be the same character with a different actor, or a different variant with the same actor. So whether or not it's the same actor says very little about whether the Netflix shows are in continuity. ---Dave

The rifle mode of K-01 "Berserker Ace" not-Vos, in the alternate color scheme. It was, unsurprisingly, a fiddly and painful-on-fingers transformation, but it does fire little bullets a decent distance (6-7 meters fired horizontally from shoulder level, estimated muzzle velocity of 12 m/s). The...

Ah, Grandparent Gifts. ---Dave

Family Dollar has rooted hair figures of the G5s. Two-packs (no Izzy, oddly) and single packs. ---Dave

So, I guess in the comics, Kazi is a "What if Dick Grayson wasn't found by Batman" deal. Probably just reusing the name and general role here, though, same as Jack. ---Dave

Looks like no one restarted this one. To kick it off, Ross (Dress for Less) has had the D&D crossover ponies for a while now ($30 for a five-pack, G1-styled, plus a big sparkly pink d20), and today I saw Plasmane, the Ghostbusters crossover pony (also G1, $9). These are all molded hair, not...

It's definitely not Leopardon. ---Dave

Yeah, there's been rather vehement promises from the creators that Clint and Kate will not have a romantic relationship. ---Dave

(Copying from a facebook post I made, so some of you may have seen this already.) Teela, while hurt by those she loved, grew up knowing she was loved. Lyn grew up knowing she was just a resource to be used, never really knowing love in either direction. Even when rewarded, it was only to help...

Note, Robot Wars is sort of a sequel to Robot Jox, which had an early Jeffrey Combs appearance. (I think it was supposed to be a fairly direct sequel initially, but ended up being an entirely different setting, just shared a model team.) And yeah, it'd be too much to hope they were doing the...

Power-up Evil-Lyn is hot in a JJBA sort of way. Also, she's co-protagonist with Teela, on a much darker personal arc...ultimately, Revelations is about two women hurt by their relationships with powerful men and forced to confront Things No Mortal Was Meant To Know. ---Dave

Bro. ---Dave

Man, even as a Seeker, Scoots gets small wings. ---Dave

So, the school I work at uses Blackboard as a course management system. Next year we're updating to Blackboard Ultra. I have a spare Robot Heroes Ultra Magnus. So I bought a bottle of chalkboard paint and made this: (I dyed the figure black in case of joint exposure issues, then painted it...

I'd probably start with the tape door trim, since if it didn't quite match it wouldn't be as jarring. (ETA: but I wanna finish another project before going back to this.) ---Dave

Got a spare Core class Soundwave today, drove out as many pins as I could (bent a pin punch in the process) and dyed most of the blue parts black. Had to paint the fists. The shoulder joints got SUPER stiff, I suspect the ball parts warped a bit in the scalding dye. Not sure if I want to do...

Older than most of my students. ---Dave
