Ramblings of a Shadow

I just felt like writing something, I don't know why. Maybe in hopes someone actually reads this stuff (although I kinda hope they don't..), I'd get a real site and that costs money, and since I don't have a job (and to young to have a paypal/credit card to pay online for it) I'm kinda stuck here. Boo-Hoo. Oh Well, It's not that bad, I just want publicity. I've always wanted to be popular and known for something, even if it's just by site-goers like Matt from X-Entertainment or the other Matt from Brawl in the Family. Just realized there both Matt's, go figure. Guess Matt is a name for success and bound to have a sub-community (Look at anything created by a Matt, and it's bound to have a subculture or something, I call it "The Matt Paradox", I also just invented it, and don't know if paradox is a good word to describe it. But it sticks.) I just managed to waste most of this paragraph trying to talk about Matts. Odd. But proves my point I just wanna write and really have no point to.

I've got plenty of stuff to do. I could draw, go outside, swim, read, do homework I have due tomorrow, play my 300+ collection of video games (Lucky aren't I?), and etc. Instead I sit here writing, questioning whether I should review Scooby-Doo and the Martians or talk about Rusty and the Big Guy. I posted the lyrics to "Beard Going Nowhere " on my Facebook the other night. I just got the name Rush Limbaugh stuck in my head after using the google bar to find out the title of Rusty and the Big Guy (could have sworn it had Boy Robot in the title..), and currently listening to Weird Al. I need a camera, to take like, Pictures (Gurgle Gurgle? Weird Al you are an odd man..) and stuff. If you couldn't tell I'm just typing what comes to mind, at least what I'm willing have associated with my name forever (Thought I post it? Um..This was going to coincide with the Weird Al song, but I forgot the lyrics and now some creepy song plays into my headphones. It's lyricless and japanese. I thought it was Pokemon, no it's Metroid.). I really need to talk about something coherent don't I? Maybe people will just like this blog for it's insanity (Mary Anne- La La La). I like how I just put mid-thoughts in Parentheses.

Hey, You know the song "Vacation" by Vitamin C? The one from Pikachu's vacation in the beginning of the Pokemon The First Movie? The opening, old timey music always reminded my off these commercials for some Hotel when I was a little kid, I thought it was on a Pokemon Video Tape, but I doubt it. I just remember the camera fadey-ness was similiar to the Pokemon Commercial for Hey You Pikachu with the talking dog. Anyway I think the commercial or commercials had Josh Peck in them, or some other chubby black-haired kid. (I was going to post more lyrics but they went by to fast..)

Welcome to Lazy Town! (I'm listening to it's opening theme, Wow a point to this text..) I used to watch that show in Summer, even though I was way to old for it, It was for like 5 year olds and I was like 11, but everyone can agree it had so awesome music. Now I'm listening to "Sonic What Happened To You?", I think it's called that.. The dude is complaining about how Sonic is no longer fun, but some of his points are moot. The series isn't as popular, or good in alot of cases, now adays, but it's still relevent, and Ok, and it's getting better. Sonic Generations seems like a cool idea if done right, actually that's Sega's main problem. They don't do things RIGHT, I mean, sure some ideas seem stupid, but with the right stuff it could be pulled off. Same goes for the characters. Shadow, everyone love or hates him. He's just not pulled off right in the games, and just seems like an Emo freak, atleast after Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Whatever.. (Wait was that the whole title?). He could have been a loner still, actually most characters like that in games are taken well, unless it's like all Japanese-y like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, like Cloud and Axel are awesome, while a lot of people think Bass, from Mega Man, is stupid and lame, luckily not as bad as Shadow, people still see potential in Bass, and I still see it in Shadow. Wow, this blog went from Random into an actual topic of discussion, and I no longer feel like writing so this worked. Yeah :D. Well I'll see you guys later!

He-Man Toys

See? Not Very Consistent.
I don't even remember if I got off of school that name, Heh.
I was going to post this awesome Photoshopped He-Man figure I was working, but I gave up because I couldn't make the lower half look right. It was going to be a Venom He-Man-ized. A lot of Hyphens. So Instead I'm going to write about He-Man figures I would buy if I had money while watching Arthur: It's Only Rock and Roll.

Now I've never really gotten into He-Man, but I've gotta admit the toys have me interested, even if I never watch the show I'd still buy the toys. Then make them battle against my Ninja Turtles.

Faker


If I remember, this is the first actual figure I saw, minus the McDonalds figures for the 2000 series, and Robot Chicken. I probably saw him on That New Toy Smell. I just love this guy, such a simple variation, but he looks so awesome. Plus he's blue and orange, what's not to like? I also just noticed the purple. Even Better. Faker is secretly a robot built by Skelator to fool people into thinking He-Man was evil, and despite how much I love the color scheme it's just to drastic to do the job, but in typical 80's cartoon fashion, they all fell for it. How do I know that? I doubt the review told me that, Faker where did I learn about you? That's also the most I know about He-Man, so I doubt this blog is going to be Fact-Filled. Any Faker is an awesome looking figure.

King Hiss



King Hiss, King of the Snake Men. While looking through the He-Man toys, I noticed a lot of Snake Based characters, is there a particular reason? Or just coincidence? It's not like they even use the same base, all completely different. What I know of this guy is that he's King of the Snake Men. He looks cool by himself, a Royal Snake. But they go the extra limit to make him cooler/creepier. You can remove his upper torso and he turns into a snake man.

See? Not exactly my thing, but it's cool. Also, why does he have two tails? Or 4 if that's what the armpit knobs are. I really like the scepter and shield his human form holds, that's what really make him look royal.
Sy-Klone



Another one I saw on That New Toy Smell. At first glance, I really expected this guy to be a villain, but apparently he's a hero, Go Figure. This guy's gimmick is that he can twist, aka the name Sy-Clone (which really bugs me, every time I see it I think it should by Cy-Clone). In the recent Master of the Universe Classic series, he comes with a giant ring and his radar actually works (In a sense), although he lacks his ability to spin. I really thought this guy's radar worked too, but apparently it's just a sticker. Bummer, since that would have made him way cooler. If I ever get that good at customs, I might make it work. Still, this is a nice figure. I also just realized the pun in the second sentence of this paragraph.


Trap Jaw

This guy is a cyborg, back in the medieval days of He-Man! Wait, Did He-Man take place in medieval times? They had lasers and stuff, I mean this guy comes with one. Trap Jaw comes with three weapons you can put in his mecha-arm, a claw, a laser gun, and a hook. They all look kinda silly in there. The base is really cool though, with it's funky coloring. The giant belt is just a plus. I've seen screen shots of this guy from the show, and he looked kinda stupid, but through the power of Google, I've found fanart and they make him look totally rad. I like that this guy's namesake doesn't effect his toy what so ever, I mean even Sy-Clone can spin. I just realized, is Sy-Clone a robot?

Tri-Klops

This guy has 3 eyes that let him see in any of 3 directions, one blue, one red, and one evil (More Puns, both in text and the name of the figures!). He also has the power punch ability. This guy looks kinda neat, but he's going to need that awesome green sword for me to own him. A lot of these guys get less cool without a weopon. I would go out on a limb and say this is a bag guy, but he originally came with a Warrior's Grayskull Ring, so what does that mean? You know, I'd be weird to see in 3 directions, I can't even really imagine it, how do you know which way is looking foreward? Especially when yous eyes can spin around your head!

Orko

It's Orko! He-Man sidekick, I think. With this guy you put a ripcord into his back, and yank it out and he runs around. Kinda Cool. I remember the only McDonald's He-Man toy I got was Orko, and his idea was kinda similar. You wind him up and he tries to walk around. He toppled over most of the time, but still a cool toy. I actually thought he was He-Man's nemesis at the time, or Orko look at all the power I gave you. I like this guy's blue skin and faceless-ness. Also his ears. Not much more to say about Orko than, he's Orko, and if I ever get him he's gonna get the respect he deserves during Play Time.

Mekaneck
















Another Cyborg! Man, Etheria is one futuristic place! If you couldn't tell by this guy's name, his ability involves his neck. "The Human Periscope". His neck will extend when you twist his waist, making him twice as tall. Probably gives his team the advantage in Basketball. He also carries around a giant yellow club, that sounds like a fish. So I guess he plays Baseball instead, heh. This guy's chest kinda look's like Optimus Prime and his face kinda reminds me of a Duck, I wanna say a Duck named Howard. His original name was going to be Spy Man, but that's a lot less fun to say then Mekaneck. Just go and say it outloud! Fun, No? Oh Mekaneck, you'll be mine soon enough.

Mer-Man

It's a giant Sea Monkey! Just had to include this guy because he's kinda cute, in a creepy sort of way. He's apparently an ocean War Lord, and if someone as wimpy as this guy can be a warlord, then that's not a very strong species. Oh, Don't be sad Mer-Man, I only mock because I love. His armor looks nice, very fishy, and his sword looks like a corncob, which is awesome. Can you imagine dying by a corncob shaped sword? Would you have any regrets?
This guy is just so cute, and I want one to cuddle with. I just wish he looked happier, he looks really freaked out.

Skelator

Skelator, the big baddy. He's a really cool looking guy, and from I know about the show, he's supposed to be a really funny guy, not Shredder funny, but still. He looks happy here, which is nice. I like his coloring, although his head's kinda wonky, but eh, still nice. Something is just cool about Skelator, he's just alluring. I also really like his armor, scepter, and sword, they look especially nice, and I already talked about He-Man toys are a lot cooler with their weapons, most figures are. I just know I would have a fun time making him send out his minions to fight the good guys.


Prince Adam


Prince Adam, a manly man. Wearing purple pants and using a pink sword..He does a good job hiding his Alter Ego. I'm just joshing, Prince Adam looks awesome! I really like his outfit, fits him well. And the sword looks nice too. This guy is just variation of He-Man in a new outfit, but it's still welcome, and as I said it looks nice. You can tell I'm running out of things to say, Can't You? Just remember don't mess around with him, or he'll turn into He-Man and he'll hunt you down. It'll be fun to make Prince Adam fight Skelator, or even team up with the turtles and fight Shredder and Krang!

I'm going to end it here. These aren't neccasarilly my top figures or anything, just some figures I really wanna get. Plus it's only the main figures, not couting the animals, playsets, vehichles, etc. Now, I'm not normally one for He-Man, but he does have some awesome toys. Well I'm off.

Have a Happy Easter!

So It Begins

Welcome!
My first entry in my new blog! I've never been very consistent with these types of things, but since I have so much extra time on my hands I might as well try again. This blog isn't about anything specific, just anything I feel like writing about, whether it be some toys I found at a garage sale, my comics, or something else. Please enjoy your stay!

Anyway, I really hope it snows tonight. I really don't wanna go back to school tommorow, Tuesday I wouldn't mind since it's the last day before break and we're having a holiday assembly, but we're not going to be doing anything tommorow. I think I just don't wanna go because of biology (since we're supposed to be disecting frogs) and math (since I either forgot about the homework or didn't do it). Either way it's just me dreading since I'm not disecting the frog, I'm just sitting in a corner doing a packet and looking at pictures (Gross) in a room of people dissecting their frogs, well Ok I can dread that, but in math the worst that can happen is that I loose a few points. So yeah. I think it's also the fact that school is just boring lately, and I need new friends. I'm not a people person, I'm very, very shy.

Well anyway I can't really write much since our Router's out and I'm using my Brother's laptop (since mine won't accept the cable), but If I don't have school tommorow I'll probably write a review or something on my Computer and post it on here.

See Ya~
