Welcome to a special Christmas edition of The MOAR You Know!
While browsing through a recent Walmart circular, I found a particularly unsettling Christmas Ad. It’s a thing so disturbing, it may take multiple viewings to fully grasp the depth of it.
Are you ready?
Happy Halloween! Welcome back to the second part of my Hellboy and Golden Army Soldier review.
Today, I’m reviewing the 3.75″ Hellboy that’s exclusive to this set. Part of the reason why I’m doing this review is that I couldn’t find any detailed reviews of the set online, so I had to order it based on the quality of Mezco’s other products.
I ordered a demon on good faith.
Happy almost Halloween! Rather than do a themed holiday post, I’ve opted to do something that’s at once rare and also very common here- a figure review!
You could say that most of my toy related posts are reviews, as they point out pros and cons, trying to swindle your wallet into feeding more of its delicious insides to the HasTak machine, but this one’s completely a review.
I’m doing it in part because it’s Halloween and the subject is appropriate to the festive mood, and partly because I have been unable to find reviews of this particular pair of figures on the internet.
Hellboy and Golden Army Solder was an exclusive set, but details were hard to come by. Most places even incorrectly say the number of joints on the Golden Army Soldier. Still, Mezco’s website had a good deal on them (and still does), and if there was a set I was going to get it’d be this one, but I had to make my decision based on the quality of their other products.
October often makes me think of this. I wrote it a few years ago, and it’s especially appropriate as it’s near the end of the month. I still enjoy it, so I thought I’d do a post for it. (more…)
So, Easter weekend was pretty good. Hung out with soon to be in-laws, ate lots of deviled eggs, ham, and rolls. My future Mrs. proved once again how awesome she is by getting me a Classics Erector. (I still have my original Erector, just missing his crane.) I don’t know why that Toys R Us still had him, but he was the only one. He’s got great paint apps and his saw blade isn’t bent. (Apparently so many blades were warped that it’s mentioned on the tfwiki.)
And of course no family event is complete without an inappropriate joke from me… I tend to make ones that dance the line between ‘plausibly innocent’ and ‘perverted.’ This year was no different…

What do Captain Jack Sparrow, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, and a family friendly Christmas gift exchange have in common?
The answer? A drunk uncle, a monkey, and a very uncomfortable holiday.
What?
You should see my answer to why a raven is like a writing desk.
Seriously, though, here’s the tale of what came to be of that aforementioned bottle of walmart whiskey.
