WaTetris Piece

 Beep... beep... beep... BEEP! Go! Pictures!

Waluigi has been around for a long time, making his debut in Mario Tennis in the year 2000. It took this long for me to look at his hat and think... you know, that looks like a Tetris piece! It's not an upside-down "L" after all!

Did you ever wonder what type of bread they served at The Cheesecake Factory? Look! They're selling it in the store now! Except, the name simply says "Our Famous Brown Bread." Hahahahaha What?! You think they are giving away their secrets? Nope! Just eat the tasty bread.

Yay! I'm merry! Mmm.

D'oh! Santa got it wrong again!

The whole funny gimmick of Toad's kart in the Super Mario Bros. Movie was how huge it was. They made a Hot Wheels of it, but it's tiny like the rest of them. Lame. Did they not get the joke?

I was stunned when these came back, but I guess enough of them disappeared to make them put up a big sign. Don't take them home, people! GOSH! You think they wouldn't need a sign for that, right?

I glanced at this puzzle thing with all the crazy shapes and thought... that looks HARD! Like, without knowing what it it looked like, would you be able to fit them all back into that frame again? I almost wanted to buy it so I could see if I was right. Is this for toddlers?! Oh, wait. I see it now, the frame bottom basically shows you what goes there. Whew. It would be very hard without that map, right?

Pop quiz! Do you remember the names of the three Powerpuff Girls?! I'll give you a pause here if you want to try and remember. I don't know how to blank out text on this blog, it would be neat it I could cover the answer somehow so you wouldn't be able to see it. There's probably a way to do that but I'm too lazy to figure it out right now. Okay, give up? Did you get it? It's Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup! +200 Cool Points for each one you got.

Um.... I think they forgot the "blue" in Blue Raspberry. D'oh!

So funny! They are advertising these as "travel sized" but we all know it's for sticking in your pocket so when you visit your friend or family's house and are having a hard time tolerating their cooking, you can zap it up with some hot sauce and make it better. Busted! Don't let them catch you doing it! You lose points for doing this at a restaurant though, shame on you for picking a bad place to eat if you are spending money on food, you shouldn't need extra hot sauce.

Classic G.I.Joe character's code name is Rock N' Roll, and in the modern update they give him the rock n' roll hand gesture! Cool! Why is there a Space Shuttle behind him in that picture? So random!

The. Best. Version. Of a not-Rubix Cube. You can put different colored not-Lego bricks all around it, and if you ever get too frustrated with it, simply pop off the bricks and fix it! Mind.... Blown.

Badgey! If you are not excited to see this, go watch some Star Trek: Lower Decks. This was a holodeck program "helper" construct based off of the Clippy paperclip thing. And it's just as annoying! Do you want me to help you with that?!

Santa is updating to drones! Who's going to make the new cartoon? All the reindeer can retire? Or are they the ones controlling the drones now?

Awww! Cute! When you buy a frame, it normally comes with a stock photo of happy people, and this Raiders of The Lost Ark frame comes with promo picture of Indy and Marion! Give a ton of awesome points to the person who thought of this.

If you've ever walked through ANY casino, ever, you've heard the blinga-bling-bling! of the Wheel of Fortune machines. I was amazed to see they made a HOME VERSION! Obviously you won't win any real money, right? But it sure will feel like you're in a casino!

Disney Dreamlight Valley game.... WHAT! You need to read that label to be properly enraged. This edition comes with ONE of SIX "Collectible" posters! Do they really expect you to buy SIX of these?! For $50 each! That's the worst bit of merchandising I've seen in a long time. What awful villain thought up of that! And they have the nerve to call it the "Cozy Edition"?

Perfect timing for the Dee Snider figure from Twisted Sister. He's looking at that last picture singing "We're not gunna take it! NO! We ain't gunna take it! We're not gunna take it... ANYMORE!"

They sold all four food groups from the movie Elf! Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corn, and Syrup!

Hahahaha! Somebody at Lego knew they did this, right? Some of the smaller boxes are not taped, but glued shut, and there's a spot on it they want you to press your finger on, to open it. It's usually got a little finger graphic to show you. But on this box, it looks like the finger is pushing that poor girl in the wheelchair! AND she's spilled her drink! It that funny, or like, messed up?!

Got a picture of the Chip and Dale Hot Wheels character car. For my friend who's a fan. They often put them together but it might also have been cool to get a Chip car and a 'nother Dale car, too.

What a neat idea to have these two cars chasing each other on your Hot Wheels track! Beep Beep! Whoooooosh!

Man-E-Faces from Masters of The Universe has always been portrayed as an actor, using his many faces to act. Here he is completely acting as a whole other character, The Sorceress! Did you notice both of these packages say "Man-E-Faces"? That is some range! Give him an award for that role, he nailed it! You'd swear it was the real Sorceress!

There is some heavy reflections going on here, but these vinyl figures have a cute art style! I miss seeing this kind of thing at the Toy Fairs, it's been several years since I've been able to go to those, but this kind of reminded me of the random stuff I'd see there.

Why is the name "General" highlighted for Hera Syndulla? That's odd. Everyone calls her Hera. This package would make it seem like nobody called her that, just General. Which they never did. 

Not quite the image I would get in my mind if you told me they were Valiant Smashers. But don't underestimate those cute fairies! I think they are going to smash you, valiantly.

Hey, I took a picture of the toy shopping cart that looked like the red Target carts, it turns out that Walmart has one, too!  Maybe I should see which one cost less? Where's the better place to shop at?

Someone finally figured out to make the button look like a piece of jewelry on the character! So you're not like, pressing her chest, inappropriately. I mean, this might not be perfect, but it's a lot better.

So wierd. Mega Bloks HAS the liscence to do Transformers. And Bumblebee WAS a Chevy Camaro with this exact color scheme. Why is this not Bumblebee? The girl driving it even looks like the girl from the Bumblebee movie! Busted!
