Dirty POP

By
Ok, this post isn't really about an N*SYNC song, even though we love them. I'm sure you know that Funko has the most adorable POP Vinyl figures. This is one line of figures that I could literally buy every single one and be absolutely happy with my decision. There are POP figures for anything you could geek out over. They have Disney characters, Wizard of Oz characters, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Avengers (they have an adorable Agent Coulson now that is the sweetest thing ever), Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Scarface, Thundercats, WWE wrestlers...the list goes on and on. All the figures have a similar element with their huge head and eyes, but somehow Funko makes each one look amazingly different. I'm not one for collecting action figures or figurines, but these are too adorable to pass up. I have a weakness for adorable things. It's like buying a bunch of baby animals, but less expensive and less responsibility after purchase. My short wish list for these items would have to be Agent Coulson, Loki, Stan Lee, Ariel, Legolas, The Cowardly Lion, and Dark Phoenix. I keep changing my mind, but I think that's the list I'm going to stick with.
Not only does Funko sell the adorable POP figures, but they have Wobblers and Sitters (their own version of bobble heads). I don't like these quite as much, but if you're a fan of having a bobble head on your desk, check these out. Then there are the Plushies. These look like the POP figures, but they're essentially a stuffed animal. I'm pretty sure Graphics Girl would love to have a Daryl Dixon Plushie. You can't help but love these. They also have the big head and eyes, but they're squishy. There are far fewer of these than the figures, but they are equally lovable. Funko also has a hand full of other products. There are vinyl figures and Cupcake Keepsakes, Pop bookmarks, Tin-Tastics, and Papercrafts. If I had my own children, I'd be buying the Tin-Tastics and bookmarks for birthdays. These are adorable items that are also practical. I love to read, so I can always use a good bookmark and the Tin-Tastics have two pencils, two erasers that look like characters, stickers, and an adorable tin that also looks like a character. I actually really love the Adventure Time tin.

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

By
I miss Thundercats. That was a quality Saturday morning cartoon. It ran from 1985-1989. Yes, that hit me at ages 1-5, but I enjoyed watching it then and reruns later on. My brother had some pretty sweet Lion-o and Snarf figurines. The occupants of Thundera evacuate before the planet and all but one of the escape ships were destroyed. The Thundercats were all that remained and they set a course for Third Earth where they crash. With the help of his "Sword of Omens", Lion-o gives the Thundercats a chance against Mumm-Ra and the evil mutants. This cartoon was so freaking cool that it has been referenced in all sorts of pop culture avenues. The Band Reliant K has a song called I'm Lion-o , which is such a fun song to jam to. If you were a fan of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Emails, Thundercats is referenced in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8 Bit Is Enough . The series was rebooted in 2011 and was a combination of anime and western ani...

It's Throwback Thursday Time!

By
This week for Throwback Thursday, I'm taking you to camp...Space Camp. I grew up watching this movie and I love rewatching it every once in a while just to reminisce.  Since I only ever went to church camp, it's kind of fun to see a bunch of nerdy kids getting to go to camp together. The movie never really got great reviews. In fact, they usually stayed around the area of about 40-50% approval. I think part of that had to do with the Challenger space shuttle catastrophe of 1986. Unfortunately, the tragedy didn't end as well as the movie. The release date was pushed back several months due to that, but even when released, the public didn't respond well to the reminder of the events. All things considered, I think it's still a great geek movie. Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Joaquin Phoenix (then known as Leaf) Kate Capshaw, Tom Skerrit, Tate Donovan and Larry B. Scott are the lead characters in this movie. Andie, a NASA astronaut who has never actually been in spac...

Wouldn't You Think I'm The Girl, The Girl Who Has Everything

By
I was fortunate enough to grow up during the "Disney Renaissance". During this period we saw films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. BUT my very favorite of all the movies that came out during this time was The Little Mermaid. I received the movie for my sixth birthday and that was one of my favorite presents. Some of my fondest memories include reenacting scenes from the movie with my friends. I still know every word to every song, and on occasion, like to see if I can get my hair to look like this  in the bathtub. ---> Don't judge me. She had fabulous hair. Seriously...what what woman has not wanted that sexy, red hair? LOVE. Today, you can find The Little Mermaid Diamond Edition at your local store. I'm not sure why they chose to release it now instead of next year, which would have marked the 25th anniversary, but you won't catch me complaining. I'm more than happy to have this available on Blu-Ray. I hear that the digital enhanc...
