BTAS Reviews Returning Soon!
Well, I have received a few comments recently on my Batman: The Animated Series posts, old as they are, encouraging me to continue, and since I have been wishing I could get back to reviewing this most awesome show, I'm going to do my darnedest to get some new ones up. My original plan was to review two episodes a week. Obviously, it's been a long time since I was that prolific. I don't stay up quite as late as I was back then, and strangely, I'm using my time even less wisely, but I'll see if I can get back up to one a week anyway. I'd like to sprinkle in some Highlander: The Series, but that show is twice as long as the animated episodes, so it probably won't happen very often.
I've also been meaning to (finish writing and) post a couple toy reviews, take pictures of some new toys, and sheesh, I haven't done a daily pic in three weeks.
In the meantime, I point you toward the comics that have been taking my time for the last three weeks. I've been reading through the archives Schlock Mercenary, by Howard Taylor, for approximately the fifth time. It's probably my favorite comic, great stories, great characters, really funny, and the artist is cool, too. Breaking things and hurting people everyday since June 12, 2000.
Also, I've been catching up on The Whiteboard, by Doc Nickel, a vaguely paintball related comic. It's also really funny, has interesting stories and fun characters, most of whom are anthropomorphized animals, and stars a Polar Bear and a Raccoon, who are not afraid to use excessive violence and/or explosives at the slightest provocation. Extreme garlic breath? Flash bang grenade and six pack of Febreeze. Leftover chinese food turned man-eating sentient life form? Home made TNT.
And seriously, new Batman review on its way!
So, the ends justifies the means, and the more good you do the more people you're allowed to kill? - Schlock Mercenery

New Star Trek Figures!
Labels:
new aquisitions,
Star Trek
I finally got some Art Asylum/Diamond Select Toys Star Trek figures, and finally took a couple of pictures of them. So here they are.
Now, what figures are they, you ask? From left to right, top to bottom:
TNG Season 1 Captain Picard with Captain's Char TNG Season 7 Captain Picard First Contact Captain Picard TNG Season 7 Lt Worf TNG Season 7 Lt Reginald Barclay TNG Chief Miles O'Brien Nemesis Commander Riker TNG Season 7 Commander Riker TNG Season 1 Commander Riker with Captain's Chair Ensign Ro Laren Nemesis Deanna Troi Nemesis Lt Cmdr Geordi LaForge TNG Season 7 Lt Cmdr Geordi LaForge TNG Season 4 Ensign Wesley Crusher TNG Season 7 Dr Beverly Crusher Nemesis Dr Beverly Crusher First Contact Data TNG Season 7 Lt Cmdr Data TNG Nurse Alyssa Ogawa Chancellor Gowron DS9 Season 4 Lt Cmdr Worf DS9 Chief Miles O'Brien DS9 Julian Bashir DS9 Season 7 Colonel Kira Nerys DS9 Captain Benjamin Sisko DS9 Season 7 Cmdr Worf DS9 General Martok
I'm really happy with these. They're a nice size, most of them are at least pretty good likenesses, and of course, I love the characters, so that's an added bonus.
More pics will be showing up when I have time for the Pic of the Day.
Update Sep 2010: This post has been getting a lot of spam comments, so Comments Closed!

Pic of the Day 74
Batman Beyond, DCUC Wave 4 (Despero Wave), by Mattel
Batman Beyond is among the greatest animated shows ever, as such, I was really looking forward to this figure, and it doesn't disappoint. Except for the plain silver batarang, which should be black and red. I painted this one, but obviously after I took this picture. It looks better now.
There is also an unmasked variant of this figure, originally exclusively available from KB Toys, but they went out of business prematurely, so Mattel recently made the figure available to other retailers, and it is currenlty showing up at Walmarts, in wave 7 revision cases.
