Picture Packs

 Picturetopia 2! It's like a sequel to the pictures I posted. Can you tell I'm struggling to come up with funny little openers? I post pics and comments. Enjoy!

Zootopia 2 figure pack. This is a clever evolution of action figure purchasing. Rather than just get the few characters you wanted, they make you get all of them in one big pack. That way, there's not a few unwanted characters doing the thing called "shelf warming" at all.




It's both Megatron AND Skeletor?! Ahhh! The staff is like the arm cannon. Does it shoot magic this time?


The DC crossover has Sonic the Hedgehog as The Flash. Typically the "main character" would be Superman, and he is fast, but in this case it does make more sense for Sonic to be Flash instead.


A plushie cooler? How many picnics do you go on? Still kind of cute.


Gee, you think the figure pack for the Fantastic 4 would include all of them. They have the robot, too! Looks like there's an empty spot in the package. They surely could have put the Invisible Woman in the set, too.


Another alternate strategy to the figure pack, is the random-box. You might have to buy many of them before you get the ones you want, but at least you don't have to buy all of them at once. Mermaid Unicorns seem odd until you realize they are more of an alternate seahorse thing.


What is this thing? A phone? That's not what a phone looks like, mom! They show a real phone on the back of the box as an alt-build. Kids might not even recognize that other phone, either.


Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! AHHHHH!!! But y'know... Maybe this is a good idea? Sometimes when you try and blow your nose, it really does feel like you'll hurt yourself. But still... Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! hahaha. Yeah. Gross.


Putting the little wrap-sensor around it really helps to sell the illusion. Look again. It's a Mega Bloks building set. I sent this pic to a friend and they jokingly asked if it came with red power pieces, for when the system classically overheats heheh.


Hilarious episode of Shark Tank, these people were trying to sell seasoning shakers with flavors that you put on dog food. One of the "sharks" laughed at it, saying that if the dog doesn't like the food, you simply buy different food. But, they did make a deal! The other "sharks" agreed that people spend silly money on pets.


I had to look it up online, but that action figure is wearing a shirt under his poncho. In the Star Wars: Acolyte series he took it off and was super-shirtless and ripped. He has a few names, The Stranger, Qimir, and the joke name Darth Smiley due to his helmet design.


How is there not more of this? They did a Magic:The Gathering set featuring Spider-Man characters, and here's an action figure which includes an exclusive game card. Besides the McDonald's Pokemon Happy Meals, not a lot of things do the exclusive cards.


Emma Frost is a fun X-man due to the fact that her name is "Frost" yet she has telepathy and the ability to turn into a diamond. Nothing to do with ice or freezing. Jubilee is a different sort of fun X-man, she has a lame power that makes little sparkles, but she's still a hero with it.


Ooooof! I'm not judging. But you think jolly ole' Optimus Prime could lay off on the energon cubes? Maybe eat a salad? Forget transforming and rolling out, you can walk this time. The exercise would do him good.


Yowza. The McDonald's Monolpoly game was locked into the App. You need to enter your code in the App to "win" the free food prizes. They don't even tell you what you won, until you do the App!


Cool! It's He-Man as a Thundercat, and a Thudercat as a um... He-Man! The coolest part is the combo Power Sword with the Thundercat Sword of Omens.


Hahahaha! What? What an insane awkward thing to endorse. Paris Hilton is not a chef, right? Why would she be on a knife block set?! Did she stab someone? Is she going to? I hope not!


This Blokees box has a dozen boxes inside it, each at $5. Yet, there is also a barcode on the outside of this. it's here on the shelf, completely sealed. Even with a special hologram stripe to show it wasn't tampered with. How is anybody supposed to know you're supposed to open this up in order to sell the little boxes inside it?


Megatron saw Optimus Prime "let himself go" and figures he might as well eat some energon cube cakes himself. He just won't let Optimus win at anything.


Transformers often re-colors figures, one good, the other bad. I thought it was neat that the bad-guy-version on the first aid truck was named Flatline. It's kind of medical and mean, for a character name.


Always fun to get "cute" versions of brutally violent things. It fits the show, too. Where they play silly kid games but like, brutally-violently.


I can't say much new about the thousand-dollar Lego set. Did you know they made a giant Lego set for a full $1000 dollars? it was fun to stand in this picture I took in the store. I can rant like the Emperor. "Does this set make you angry? goooood. Your hatred makes you powerful!"


It took a hot minute to get merch for K-Pop Demon Hunters. For a while, when you saw some, it was cool to finally see it.


Also sometimes cool to see merch for old stuff that barely got any merchandise. I never played any of the Pikmin games, but I've always thought about it. It's gotta be good, they made so many of them.


This sounds silly but also interesting. Expansion sets for Monopoly. Super Jail? Just that name sounds funny and cool.


During that time when K-Pop Demon Hunters had no merch in stores, we saw the art studio had a fun idea; make your own! I guess you need some skillz for that, though.


I wonder how much the Lego Charizard will cost. When you see it, remember you saw this picture for the Mega Bloks Charizard. Only $5.


This little bull plushie had a funny expression. Awwwwww yeah. Something like that.


Nobody paid any attention to me before I wore the mask. Okay Batman, you now have my permission to die. Are those the lines for the movie? Did I remember that right?
