Dark Magic

What's this? I found a bunch of pictures we never got around to posting! Looks like we took these pictures in mid-February, so that was before the Pandemic Lockdown Frenzy, and right before the Toy Fair. It's just a bunch of random pictures so it's cool if I took them a while ago, they should still provide some entertainment.

Every TV show, book, and movie tells me that Dark Magic is bad, Dark Magic comes with a price, Dark Magic darkens your heart,... you get the idea. Well, if you want that feeling, there's some coffee for you!

This might not seem that big of a deal now, but back when we took this picture, there was zero Baby Yoda merchandise available. So it was cool seeing this puzzle back in February.

Yikes! Which one of these companies is going to sue them first? I'm guessing Disney, with Buzz Tootyear up in the top right corner.

There's an old abandoned building we call "The Vampire House" because it looks like the type of place a centuries-old Vampire might have still lived in. It's still there, but we expect it to just vanish one day. Hopefully it won't since we get a little fun Vampire smile whenever we drive past it.

What kind of discount do you think Walmart would give you for this floor model? Haha Busted!

Dexter, from the cartoon series Dexter's Laboratory, grew up to become a chemistry teacher. According to Playmobil, maybe.

We have a friend who is all into the tiny-house craze. It does have it's appeal. Being a tiny pony, I would obviously feel nice and snug in a very very tiny house.

Saw a Dungeons and Dragons Joke Book and opened it to a random page. As D&D fans, we get these. Your humor may vary.

The mall had one of those mini-conventions one weekend, with local comic and collector shops renting tables for stuff. We'll get back to those one day, after this Pandemic stuff is over. My friend was excited to see these Star Trek cards from the game he used to play competitively for a long time. Those are some great prices for cards that came out as far back as 1994.

We've shown these Masters of the WWE Universe before, it's honestly quite a fun cross-over. At the mall mini-con, we saw the deluxe Grayskull Ring that includes Triple H and John Cena.

Sigh, if you want a cool Squirrel Girl figure, they make you pay extra for her. Because for some reason she needs a giant scooter. I'd like to think I'm a Squirrel Girl fan because I like squirrels, but we don't know enough about the character, should we be excited she comes with this scooter? Is it like, the same reason they gotta sell Ghost Rider with his motorcycle?

Luke, Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your Barbie Doll.

...

No,... I... am your Barbie!

Wasn't Predator a rated "R" movie? Like, super violent and bloody? Um, the corner says "Ages 4 and Up." Like, Waaayyyy up! I have a friend who's seen this movie so many time, he could watch it on mute and quote all of the lines. Not that there's a ton of dialogue in it, but he can.

It's kind of dark in the corner there, but that D&D figure of Zarak, the Evil-Half Orc Assassin is hitting my friend's nostalgia buttons. I think he gets bonuses for hiding in the shadows.

Optimus Prime sells out to promote Pepsi. I guess he has to pay the bills somehow.

Every Wolverine figure comes with an extra whup'd-off head! Harsh! Also, "woke" Predator figure over there, girls CAN be Predators, too!

This is the PERFECT type of merchandise. A "lame cabin keychain" for Camp Crystal Lake, which you might not remember as the place where Jason lurks in the Friday the 13th movies.

Got such a laugh out of this new Simpsons episode that we had to share the joke. Homer was afraid that robots were going to replace them at work, so he stood next to the automatic soda machine and was pouring drinks himself. You don't need a robot to pour your drinks!
