Compo Beach visitors and area residents frustrated by poor cell phone service may soon be getting some relief.
The Westport's Historic District Commission (HDC) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. will hear about a planned cell phone, micro-antenna to be attached to a waterfront utility pole on Compo Beach Road adjacent to Owenoke Park.
First Selectman Jim Marpe, who asked the HDC to take up the matter, said, "I want the public, and in particular the Owenoke/Compo area residents, to be informed about this proposal as early as possible."
He added, "Also, it is important that the public know the manner in which any concerns or questions relative to the project will be addressed."
According to Marpe, Cellco Partnership and its affiliates, doing business as Verizon Wireless, propose to put a micro antenna onto the side of an existing 35-foot utility pole, number 25844.

Debit Card Theft Arrest
Geralda Francilme: unable to post $250 bond. Westport Police photo
Westport officers arrested a Bridgeport woman who 15 months ago allegedly stole her coworker's debit card, using it locally, police said today.
Police took into custody Geralda Francilme, 21, at the Trumbull Police Department, where she had been arrested on a warrant for those crimes.
"The arrest warrant stems from a larceny and credit card theft investigation reported to this department in July 2014," said Capt. Samuel Arciola.
He said the investigation was led by the Westport Police Department Detective Bureau with the assistance of the Peoples United Bank fraud department and Stop & Shop loss prevention department.

Officers arrested a Bridgeport man Wednesday for sexual assault after the suspect turned himself in upon learning there was a warrant for his arrest, Westport police said today.
The arrest of John Norris, 23, is based on a Sept. 5 incident that occurred locally, said Capt. Samuel Arciola.
"The victim alleges that the suspect had touched an intimate part of her body during the incident," Arciola said.
Charged with fourth-degree sexual assault, Norris was unable to post a $1,500 bond and was remanded to the Bridgeport Correctional Center. He is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Thursday, Oct. 15

Comings & Goings: Riverside Medical Complex Opens
Boston-based The Davis Companies (TDC) has announced it has completed the substantial renovation of an underutilized office park at 321-329 Riverside Ave. to create Westport Center for Health. It calls it "the largest assemblage of medical space in Westport."
The companys says the four building complex is "the largest assemblage of medical space in Westport." (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
The 38,000-square-foot, Class A medical office center consists of four buildings that were once part of a seven-building,145,190-square foot Riverside Avenue complex constructed from 1981 to 1986 that housed Marketing Corp. of America.
An announcement said leases have been signed with Village Pediatrics and Women's Healthcare of New England, both at No. 323. Village Pediatrics relocated in August from 156 Kings Highway North. Women's Healthcare of New England has its base office at 761 Main Ave, Norwalk.
"Westport Center for Health now represents the largest assemblage of medical space in Westport, Conn., and is well-designed to become a highly convenient 'one stop shop location for patients seeking care in the area," the announcement said.

Police: Bear Sighted on Old Road
Westport police tonight advised residents that a bear was sighted in the back yard area of 142 Old Road, then walking east.
"Please be cautious and do not approach," an advisory said.
The sighting followed at least Westport sightings in July, including one in which a bear appeared on the back deck of a home on Charcoal Hill Commons. (See WestportNow July 24, 2015)

Staples Boys Soccer Ties Darien in Last Second Thriller

The Blue Wave –- who eliminated the Wreckers in last year's state tournament –- tied the match, but Graham Gudis' penalty kick gave Staples the lead with nine minutes to play. The visitors got a goal off Mathew's throw-in with just five seconds remaining, to earn a thrilling 2-2 tie. Staples, now 6-1-3, travels to New Canaan's Conner Field on Monday for a 4 p.m. match.

Marpe Urges Water Conservation
Westport First Selectman Jim Marpe today echoed Aquarion officials' request that customers voluntarily conserve water in the wake of an extended dry spell or moderate drought.
Marpe said that despite last week's rainfall, the state continues to experience "conditions ranging from 'abnormally dry' to 'moderate drought.'"
"I urge Westport residents to consider the advice and recommendations as outlined in Aquarion Water Company's notification," Marpe said. "As a community, it is important that we all do our share to encourage a healthy environment and to conserve our natural resources."
Aquarion reports the dry period has been exacerbated by a 9.3 percent spike in usage, 9 million gallons more per day, compared to last year. The result, says Aquarion President and CEO Charles V. Firlotte, is that its wells and reservoirs are way below normal. (See Westportnow Sept. 24, 2015)

Susan Granger at the Movies: 'Sicario,' 'Pawn Sacrifice,' Hotel Transylvania 2'
By Susan Granger
Along the lawless border between the United States and Mexico, drug cartels rule, and "Sicario" means hitman. That's where French-Canadian director Denis Villenueve focuses in this grim, grisly thriller.
After idealistic FBI field agent, Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) and her SWAT-team partner, Reggie (Daniel Kaluuya), discover a stash of rotting corpses stashed behind a drywall in an Arizona subdivision, she's recruited by a shadowy government task force, headed by scruffy, sandal-clad Matt Graver (Josh Brolin).
The covert black-ops squad is led by a burly, vengeful Colombian "consultant," Alejandro (Benicio del Toro), who cryptically tells Kate as she dons her Kevlar vest: "Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything we do."
First on the agenda is an unorthodox trip over the Rio Grande and through the dry, cactus-filled Chihuahua Desert to Juarez to retrieve a prisoner to make him squeal on the Sonora cartel, leading to the capture of businessman Manuel Diaz (Bernardo Saracino) in order to flush out the kingpin, Fausto Alarcon (Julio Cesar Cedillo).

WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 14 Bauer Place
An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport's 14 Bauer Place, off Old Road, is in process. Built in 1946, the 1-1/2 story cape has 1,284-square feet, is situated on a .25-acre property and changed partial ownership in August for $50,000 for 1/5 interest. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
Competitive Bidding Law Sought for All Town Contracts
By James Lomuscio
Westport's Representative Town Meeting (RTM) Tuesday night heard a first reading of a proposed law to require competitive bidding for all town contracts.
Renovations to the pools at Longshore Club Park led to the proposed ordinance on competitive bidding. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
If passed, it would apply to all executive branch agencies, commissions and departments.
But to hear the town's purchasing officer tell it, such an ordinance might be redundant since the town has just recently updated its policies and procedures for going out to bid.
RTM member Kristan Hamlin of District 4, one of the five RTM members behind the proposed ordinance, said it was designed "to protect Westport taxpayers against contractors who may gouge the town."

Night before sailing
Laid here at 2.47 am not able to sleep. My toes are wriggling with excitement! My head is filled with airports, shows, weather, outfits, cocktails....the list goes on ! ;) Know I need to sleep but it just not happening! Had a lovely pre holiday day little wander round Trafford ...
Home again
... so we had a nice view of the moors to the east; we touched down gently – a smooth landing in the sunshine in March was a miracle!
It had been a great holiday: our first taste of half-board has only whetted our appetites for more places full of interest, history and scenic views – which just about sums up Malta. More, ...
Off to Malta

After reviving ourselves with a cappuccino in the cafe-with-a-great-sea-view, we walked along the prom towards the centre of Bugibba. The streets are lined with jewellery shops, far more than the town looks as though it would support, plus lots of (shut, its too early in the season) cafes & ice cream places. We were amused to see a cocktail bar & sun deck called Bognor Beach (also closed) as one of our daughters ...
Another great holiday
... will always be remembered for the sweet young girl who served us.

I jumped in a taxi and headed to the closet shopping complex. When i got to the shopping i was amazed there were so many shops. I went straight to the sport store to have a look for some Chelsea merchandise for tomorrows big game. I didn't find any Chelsea ...

Because Ewoks are wussies.
Presented for the collective amusement of the Tomopopulus, here's a gallery of buddies George and Lenny from NECA's recently released revamped-ish Gremlins line
"Derrrrrrr, what about the rabbits, George?"
Forget about the rabbits, Lenny, where are your companions?! Rather unfortunately, George, Lenny, and a normal Gizmo (who I didn't fucking buy because, well, it kinda sucked and I'm getting the combat version anyway) are the front-runners for this wave. What does that mean exactly? Well, while those three are available at retailers like TRU unfortunately my main squeeze (because he's cuddly, you pervs!) Mohawk, comic relief Daffy, and thinly-veiled Rambo parody "Combat" Gizmo aren't available just quite yet. Or maybe it's a problem exclusive to TRU who currently don't have the other three in the system. Bleagh.
At any rate, here's the incredibly bland packaging:
Like ughsville, right? I mean, can it be any more... HELLO!
No, but seriously, fucking uninspired. You can't see it but the inner portion has an image of a Gremlin's shadow which is completely infuckingvisible from the front of the package. The back of the box features the same white backdrop as well as the shadow, which is obscured by the character selection and pictoral explanation of the eye-roller system. Yeah, that's right, they can roll their eyes.
"Derrrrrrrrrr, it wasn't me, George!"
(fyi, the names George and Lenny were supposedly an homage to the characters from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. There, I just injected a little culture into your lives and reminded you of nap time during second period English =p)
In case you're wondering why I make fun of the Ewoks (who helped take a crap on the original trilogy), although Ewoks were larger and had spears and stuff they were still wimpy ass teddy bears. They never smoked, drank, gambled... errr, well, technically the mogwais did that more when they were "all gwowed up". And speaking of that, they're (kind of) to scale with their post-pubescent previously released counterparts:
For those unfamiliar with the Gremlins franchise, the cute childish mogwai undergo a horrific transformation into ravenous, destructive monsters --- you know, much like when human children undergo puberty =p Except with a bit more bloodshed because they lack strong parental supervision.
The sort of kicker here is that the previous Gremlins stuff retails for $10 (dreamboat Mohawk there is about 8" tall, fyi) while the new, significantly shorter figures go for $12 (both are TRU prices). Although you might not be able to complain about the scaling issues, there is a feeling of paying more for less. The only big saving grace here are those eye rollers. Oh yeah, plus articulate ears!
The ears are one a kind of ball & socket joint. Ditto for the shoulders, forearms (where the fur tufts change on the arms), and hands. The legs have a similar joint but you won't get much movement there due to the body sculpt. Also, the joint itself has a tendency to expose depending on the angle (by which I just mean it's visible). The heads have a generous ball joint and are connected to the head by a rod which accommodates posing. The eye rollers are controlled by a ball on the back and are seemingly supposed to sync although they can kinda get off track from one another at times. Oh yeah, plus the ones on George are nigh useless given his epic squint.
I *think* their body type is basically the same and Lenny got an extra piece to bulk out his height but I can't be sure. I should also mention that bodies are sculped in such a way that the arms can sit fairly flat against the side of their bodies (but it makes for weird-looking armpits!)
Would I recommend these? Hell yeah. $12 is really a pittance for something like this. Sure, I'll bitch about the price in comparison to what the stuff used to be and generally want things cheaper but, at the end of the day, this is really the sort of stuff that I've wanted ever since I was a little kid watching the Gremlins movies for the first time. The only major aggravation is some potential QC issues (because it's NECA!) regarding paint and Mohawk not coming out right away. Supposedly we'll even be getting gremlin versions of George and Lenny in the near future!
Oh, plus supposedly we'll even be getting gremlin versions of George and Lenny in the near future! (saw photos for it, looks cool). This calls for a mogwai hi-five!

Without power, missing you all
Currently without power, no clue for how long. Just wanted you all to know that I (barely) survived "Franken-storm"
Last storm was 8 days without my house having power. Kinda curious if they can beat that record, which might be possibly given all the downed trees that make just getting into town hard.

My SDCC hopes list
(DISCLAIMER: My hopes don't necessarily reflect the hopes of Tomopop.com =p)
Can you feel the hype in the air? Fans fervently wishing for certain collectibles, waiting to see if their dreams will be answered or what crazy surprises toy makers have in store (and will have in stores) for them.
Here are a few of the (realistic...) items I'm hoping to see.
Iron Patriot (Marvel Legends) ~ Norman Osborne's "heroic" alter-ego. While the Dark Reign storyline may be over, the fan demand for this figure isn't. Not to mention that we still don't have a complete Dark Avengers on either the 3.75-inch or 6-inch scales. Plus he'd be an easy build, given that he would mostly use an Iron Man body type. The only thing holding him back? Dark Reign being over =(
Jubilee (Marvel Legends) ~ Wolverine's sometimes sidekick and the eternal "stand-in" character (for Shadowcat, Dazzler, etc). Jubilee has been shafted repeatedly over the years. She never got a figure in the original X-Men: TAS line and if you wanted a decent figure of her you'd always need to custom it... up until last year when Hasbro announced they were doing a MU Jubilee. I think this opens the door for a ML Jubilee down the line.
Magik (Marvel Legends) ~ Colossus's little sis. Given both her previous status and current activity in the comics she almost seems a shoo-in, especially since Moonstar is getting a figure.
Ares (Marvel Universe) ~ The Greek God of War, occasional villain and currently more of an anti-hero. Remember when I said we don't have a complete Dark Avengers on either scale? Well, Ares is one of the guys holding us back on the 3.75-inch. Plus he would look GREAT on the smaller scale if Hercules, Thor, and WW Hulk are any indication.
A new Killer Croc (DCU) ~ A deranged, deformed Batman villain (are there any other kind?) possibly best-known for his recent Arkham Asylum appearance. Mattel hasn't released a 6-inch Killer Croc figure since the DCSH line and BOTH of those sucked. Now that Mattel has pledged to release oversized figures online (to make up for no CNCs), I imagine that we'll probably see the character in some form or another within the next few years... just hopefully not as a club exclusive.
Ra's Al Ghul (DCU/BU) ~ Yet another of Batman's supposed Moriarities (seriously, how many can you have?), the eternal Ras Al Ghul has cheated death for centuries thanks to his Lazarus Pits. Another Batman rogue for whom there's no relatively modern Mattel figure. However, given his profile in Batman Arkham City and the films as well as the fact that Black Mask is being made it really just seems like a matter of time.
Trickster (DCU) ~ An iconic Flash rogue and the groundwork for Mark Hamill's Joker. There really is no compelling reason to believe that he'll receive a figure in the near future, iirc, but Mattel's online move has opened possibilities for characters like him.
Got a bunch more, plus I should probably add images for all of them.

Damaged decisions
SDCC07 She-Hulk arrived with, well, indecent exposure. Looks like she slipped in package (half wonder if the seller displayed on shelf then repackaged to claim it's new, not placing it properly) and her nipple (well, where her nipple would be if Hasbro sculpted nipples which I don't think they ever will) scraped against the window, subsequently killing a good chunk of paint.
So basically I sent the seller a "what the hell, man?", just mentioning and showing photos of the damage.
The seller responded this:
"oh wow....no, i keep everything stored in air conditioned smoke free home, on a shelf. You can send it bak to me and I will refund your money or I can offer you 10% purchase price.....or if there is anything else you are looking for i can do free shipping? "
While I'd probably prefer to just keep the thing (because returns are a hassle), I'm not sure if it's something I can repair easily myself. The 10% off offer really isn't much, it would basically save me four bucks if he took it off the total price (including shipping). The third option is free shipping which I guess wouldn't be bad if one of his other auctions closes low. I might mention delaying a decision until I see how one of those auctions turns out.

Has anybody seen the 6" modern Tygra in stores?
The Lion-o, Panthro, and Cheetara were all really iffy but Tygra actually looks decent. Supposedly he's one of the later ones in the line so he won't even be hitting all areas. It's starting to seem like the revamp may be dead.

Don't forget to exercise your civic duty...
...and vote for which minimates you want to see:
Was going to post this last week but figured Tomopop would probably mention it anyway. As such, the poll is already into week 2 but that doesn't matter because get a load of this: you can still vote on the week one stuff! (and if Werewolf Captain America isn't one of your two votes you're doing it wrong).
So far the choices haven't been anything earth-shattering, but every week you can pick 2 characters from a selection with distinct themes to vote on:
[i]Over the next four weeks, Marvel.com will present a series of four polls, each representing one group of characters.
Poll #1 will be the Main Assault Team, showcasing the Marvel Universe's star players with updated or distinctly different looks.
Poll #2 will be the Support Team, giving some love to the unsung heroes who have backed up the all-stars over the years.
Poll #3 will be the Primary Targets, villain characters who we've never gotten their own Minimates or who need a re-do.
Poll #4 will be the Cannon Fodder, army-builder characters who you may want to buy more than one of.[/i]
Week 1 featured little of interest other than a Werewolf Captain America (because how do you go wrong with that?). Week 2 has had Songbird (as much as I like Songbird, the minimate format doesn't treat the girls right), Banshee, Winter Soldier (why do they need to put him a poll? It's unfair to the other selections since no matter what they'll make one), a modern Luke Cage, Black Knight II (ie, the one ON the Avengers as opposed to the one fighting them), modern Falcon, Commander Steve Rogers (again, not sure why they have him in the poll since he seems like somebody they would just make), and Gladiator (best remembered for flicking the Juggernaut off into the distance in X-Men TAS)
Given that week 1 is still open, I'm not sure when the polls actually close. At any rate, villain week is next and I would be more excited for that if they didn't mention some of the choices will be re-dos on previously released villains. The most interesting week will be fodder week, although I doubt they'll do configurations with 2 copies of the same fodder character.
While minimates have always been very hit or miss for me, I'm still intrigued by the possibilities.

ToyArk reports that NECA's Lightning Gremlin will be TRU exclusive
Yeah, because this things are already sold in sooooooooo many other places >_>
There are so many things wrong with this picture, starting with the fact that he shouldn't be sold separately in the first place given that he's a static piece of translucent blue plastic meaning his production costs should be a fraction of the others in the line. Of course, the exclusivity makes some sense in this regard if they're predicting him to be a poor seller because of it.
While I doubt that I'll bother to pick him up, the Lightning Gremlin still looks pretty neat. The link shows how closely it mirrors an in-movie shot, an effect mildly bungled by how the base was incorporated into the figure. I can't help but feel had they placed a little more of his torso above that the effect would be the better for it. The use of what looks to be layering sheets of plastic is an interesting touch which will likely make him the most artistic or creative figure in the line.
Given that TRU exclusives are notoriously hard to find in a TRU (or, at least, in the ones in my metro) your best bet might be waiting for him to be listed on their website or paying a mark-up elsewhere. While I can't say that I'll be in a rush to get this one myself, it's something I could still see myself caving on because it's Gremlins (damn you nostalgia!)
In other completely unrelated news, ToyArk also posted a sighting for some of the Mattel Movie Masters Dark Knight Rising stuff including Alfred:
This I'm a bit more stoked for, considering that Mattel is likely to never do a comic version of the character although I guess we'll always have the DC Direct Hush version as well (which technically is the better fit).

Marvel Legends wave 3 to release in September
Just a quick heads-up. Apparently Marvel released the date over their twitter feed. ToyArk ran the story, including the revealed cards for Punisher & Blade (a running change) as well as an X-Force Deadpool which I wasn't aware of. Hoping they do a standard color variant as I missed the limited 2pack release.

Did yours stay "Puft"? Matty offers refund on its Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
Apparently open flames aren't the only thing capable of changing the color of MattyCollector's giant 20" Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (based on the iconic last-second character from the original Ghostbusters movie) as at least figures are purportedly turning yellow with age.
As I'm personally unaffected (because I can put a price on this piece of nostalgia and said price is a lot less than the $70+ that Mattel wanted), I was completely unaware of this mildly humorous (but likely aggravating) issue. At the same time it's one of those weird stories that just needs to be shared.
Mattel's explanation is for Yellow Marshmallowgate is follows:
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure was fully tested and approved prior to being offered for sale. The figure passed all standard product tests, as well as a specialized test specific to the new foam material used. The yellowing some figures have experienced didn't appear until a number of months after the product's release. The yellowing is due to an unforeseen chemical reaction between the paint and material used in its construction.
And being the stand-up guys that they are (and probably because the number of complaints is far greater than they let on), Mattel is offering a refund (cash only, no exchanges) for those affected with instructions depending on where the figure was bought:

Our agent will create a ticket and arrange for the product to be picked up at our expense and returned to our warehouse.

Was anybody here actually affected? I recall Matty doing a follow-up sale involving a price drop as well as that one grab bag promotion which may have included them but I can't recall if anybody on-site has one of those big, yellow whales (or white whales, if unaffected by the issue).

MMP: Eastern figure meets Western figure
Yes, it's going to be one of those...
Battle Cat: "Hi, I'm a Western character figure."
Dead Master: "And I'm an Eastern character figure. I..."
Battle Cat: "No! I'm going first! Don't make me eat you. Remember that I could just do the rest of this without you."
"So yeah, I come from an American cartoon called Masters of the Universe. Sometimes just known as He-Man."
"It's an action cartoon about big muscular guys beating up other big muscular guys. Because the West is all about being macho and violent."
"Even our women have muscles"
"Oh, could you guys hang on a second? This is important."
"Yeah, that's it..."
"You're really hitting the spot now. Just scratch a little harder. Right, now where was I? The cartoon started in the early '80s..."
"Oh god, where did you guys find that photo....?"
"This is so embarrassing... I can't believe I used to look like that."
Dead Master: "I think you were pretty cute."
Dead Master: "Who's a little cutey whooty?"
"At any rate, we were big. Bigger than that cartoon about Jesus. We gave children mindless entertainment AND nostalgictastic figures. Plus a live action movie which we don't like to talk about, mostly because I think I'm not in it."
"We are the West, hear us roar!"
"Tag, you're in."
Dead Master: "About time."
"My series, Black Rock Shooter, may not have the history that Masters does but we also print money. Hell, we had tons and tons of preorders for figures... well, BEFORE people actually saw what the show was like. Like many Eastern animations, we're occasionally accused of being about cute girls and fan service. Not that there's anything wrong with that. No muscles here! Small and girly is the way to go."
"Plus a little dark and creepy."
Both: "We couldn't be more different! But we do have one thing in common... we were made by companies specifically to sell merchandise!"
Kratos: "Hi, I'm a Western videogame character."
Cloud: "And I'm an Eastern videogame character."
Battle Cat: "Wait, another...? I thought we were just doing one."
"My name is Cloud. I'm slim and not very muscularly, but I'm broody and don't talk a lot so chicks think I'm deep. I have a complicated backstory and carry my scars on the inside. I like to sulk and mope in my free time. Basically I speak rarely and carry a big sword."
"I'm Kratos and I kill people. If you're in my way, you're dead. Hell, you're better off just running if you see me coming. Unless you're an attractive woman and the game hasn't featured its mandatory sex minigame yet. While I have a tragic backstory, I carry my scars on the outside as well as the ashes of my dead family. And, trust me, you don't want to be related to me..."
"I kinda have a bad track record there. A lot of relatives like dear ol' dad I'll go out of my way to kill but others are just mistakes. Simple, bloodthirstily stupid mistakes..."
"Unlike the pretty pansy over there, I'm big and brawny. I don't need a big sword, I'm confident in my two little blade thingies.... but I also have a big sword at times. Often at the beginning of games. And then I've got this other sword which gets bigger during some minigames...
And oh yeah, I'm the opposite of quiet. Half the game I'm probably shouting the antagonist's name. Makes it easy for gamers to keep track of who the villain is. Yeah! Western games! Machoviolence! Who the fuck even needs story when the disc is dripping with testosterone? Play Western games and you'll feel more manly! Manly, manly, MANLY!"
Cloud: "Eastern games---"
Kratos: "MANLY!"
Cloud: "--are often big on---"
Kratos: "MANLY!"
Cloud: "--things like---"
Kratos: "MANLY!"
Cloud: "...wish you were just a silent protagonist with a few snippets of dialogue."

News you probably didn't hear & won't care about: Young Justice toyline canceled
Semi-old news but I just heard it a few days ago. Apparently Mattel decided to cancel the Young Justice toyline (both the 4" and 6" lines). And the hits keep coming, since during a Toyark Q&A with a Mattel rep we learned "We will not be continuing YJ on Matty.com in any scale (at this time)."
While I doubt this surprises anyone, it's still disappointing in that the ONLY 6" Superboy they gave us was the one-shot solar suit outfit rather than tee & jeans he not only wore throughout most of the series
but also was his comics outfit!
However, more disappointing is the fact that this essentially means we'll never see a 6" Miss Martian. Well, at least we got Artemis and the revamped Aqualad.
It's hard to describe all of the areas where the 6" line went wrong. First off, $20 seems a fairly high price for a 6" figure at retail (although it's only $4 over Mattel's other DC lines). This was presumably done to justify the overly large playsets they included which basically were throwaways anyway (albeit the Robin and Red Arrow roof top ones are decent). This different sized package meant that the figures weren't going on pegs meaning that they were less prominently displayed. I'm assuming that the playsets were probably done to appeal more to children (vs having CNC pieces) and the exaggerated box size might have been chosen to make it look like a better value but the choices still just seem so weird. Even odder is their choice to outright cancel the line rather than reconfigure the 6" offerings but since DCUC is basically leaving retail I can't say it's entirely unexpected (I'm also not sure why DCUC isn't just used as an umbrella for multiple lines, but I think that has to do with retailers' ordering practices)
The 4" line was really less of a surprise. It was the spiritual successor to the JLU line and had a bizarrely high price point ($10 single or $20 2pack) for figures that generally had maybe 5 points of articulation and overly simply sculpts. In the same Q&A the Mattel rep mentioned: "We tried a similar brand, JLU, in many form factors (singles, 3 packs, 4 packs and a 7pack of all new figures) and none sold well enough. This makes it a bit harder to continue YJ online. A toyline like YJ really takes Mom and Kid interest to keep it going. We cannot keep the line like YJ going on collector support alone. JLU proved this." This makes the decision to release the 4" YJ line in the similar fashion fairly confusing, to say the least. I'm just wondering what my local Target did with the 4" figures since I don't recall seeing them go on clearance yet I also don't recall seeing them in store on previous visits.
Congratulations are probably in order, since Mattel managed to fumble a toyline for a seemingly successful cartoon. Meanwhile Marvel, not to be outdone, has decided to cancel their Avengers: Earths' Mightiest Heroes cartoon which never had a toyline at all.

Oh, there was Battle Beasts news at C2E2?
Why am I not hearing about it here?!?!
As you'll remember, Diamond Select picked up the name after the licensing lapsed. Apparently it's been confirmed to only apply to the name and, as such, we aren't going to get rub signs and it's really going to be an offshoot of the minimates line (which was previously stated, iirc). But the big news is that apparently it has a Fall 2012 release date attached now.
PCN did a video, along with the news. Apparently there was a C2E2 exclusive figure.
I guess it is somewhat bothersome that they're a different size and using a different sensibility but this new sculpt is kinda hot. The only thing that'll keep me from this line is probably pricing, since I already see mini-mates as something of a rip-off and they'll be priced at least accordingly.
Supposedly Takara will be bringing back Beastformers, though (which I could have sworn I heard mentioned here but I couldn't find it using the search function)
So much shit to wait for... I'm dying here, folks!

About Scarecroodle
One of us
since 2:33 PM on 11.13.2009
What is a Scarecroodle?
~It's a catchier and more memorable name than Scarecrow, which is generally taken anyway. Scarecrow, being a fear-related villain with a catchy costume, is probably one of my all-time favorite villains (just not the movie version).
Beyond that, I'm just your average, run of the mill editor for Tomopop (Destructoid's less successful sibling) and mostly cover western releases.
What does a Scarecroodle like?
~I love fighting games, platformers, horror, and anime. I also collect a lot of Marvel/DC stuff, but most of that interest stems from the old cartoons/movies and the comic interest only came because I thought some of the figures looked insane. Figure-wise, I think the 6\" scale is probably the ideal size for figures. At that size they can make nice display pieces, sick detail, and joints that don't break (like in the crappy smaller scales).
I'm also a massive fan of the really small scales because it usually allows for a lot of incredible-looking scenery (check out stuff like Warhammer, etc). I would love to really get into sculpting, but I'm kinda clumsy which doesn't work well when things need to be exact.
I'd really like to get into statues (because the detailing and paint is usually good), but the pricing is more than a little daunting and you don't get as much variety out of them whereas figures can be posed into elaborate set-ups or whatever.

LOS ANGELES – Marc Tyler wasn't sure this night would ever come. Before the USC home opener on Saturday against Virginia, he joined his Trojan teammates in their traditional procession toward the Coliseum peristyle, wading through the adoring cardinal-clad crowd of thousands, shaking strangers' hands, bumping little boys' fists and feeling loved.
The hard-running redshirt junior tailback has gone from forgotten to famous, having climbed from depth chart's bottom to its top in just a month. People who now know No. 26 without having to run a finger down a roster or find him on an injured list were shouting his name.
But Tyler heard nothing but Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane rap pumping though headphones, carrying him to his own mental space. This was his first Trojan Walk as the starting tailback at Tailback U.
"Coming into the stadium, I was thinking, 'This is what I've been working for three years,'" recalled Tyler after the then-16th-ranked Trojans (2-0) held off Virginia, 17-14. "This is my dream come true."
His mother had been praying for this day when the setbacks and injuries would end. His father, Wendell, a former UCLA and NFL All-Pro running back, believed this day would come if his youngest of four children, Marc recalled, "worked harder than the rest of them, worked when they slept, worked on my body, my football and went out in practice every day and took that job from them."
Every backup who wants to quit the team, every benchwarmer who grows frustrated waiting for his touches and every oft-injured reserve who tagged as too risky to play should think about Tyler. He had those positions, feeling restless and ignored and in and out of pain since he arrived at USC four years ago.
Touted as the nation's second-best high school running back behind ex-Trojan Joe McKnight, Tyler broke his leg after being horse-collared late in his 2006 senior season at Division III state champion Oaks Christian of Westlake Village.
Hampered by the leg injury, the Parade All-America two-way talent – he also played linebacker – redshirted 2007. In 2008 the reserve had 36 carries for 198 yards and a touchdown. He hoped for a breakout redshirt sophomore season but suffered a season-ending toe injury during practice before the second game. He had 72 yards and one touchdown in for 2009.
"The injuries were getting him down, and I tried to tell him how I hung in there when I got hurt," said Wendell Tyler, the all-conference Bruin tailback (1973-1976) who played for the Los Angeles Rams (1997-1982) and San Francisco 49ers (1983-1986). "I told him about hard work, about praying, about Christianity and God and miracles."
This father knew he had a football playing son since Marc was a child, watching video tapes of his father's NFL days – until the kid learned how to record "Sesame Street" over a game. Wendell also remembered seeing 7-year-old Marc run the ball during a flag-football in a Lancaster park.
"They pitched him the ball. He dipped in, dipped back out to the sideline, went about 60 yards for a touchdown, and I knew, you can't teach a kid that," said the father and fan. "He had football in him."
That's why Wendell urged Marc to enroll at Oaks Christian, where he could play elite football and get exposure. Because his family was in Lancaster, Marc lived two years in Westlake Village with the family of future Notre Dame and NFL quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Marc was used to making sacrifices for sport.
But the setbacks got to Marc in late 2009, when his sprained toe injury required December surgery. He was sick of being hurt, angry about being thought of as a faded former high school star.
Wendell went to his son with an aggressive plan for recovery, for two-a-day workouts, for losing about 20 pounds to reach today's 215 and for regaining the confidence necessary for a comeback.
"I told him my own story, too," said Wendell, referring the car accident after his Rams played in the 1980 Super Bowl that left him with a dislocated hip. "The Rams owner, general manager and all the doctors told me that I had a 10 percent chance of playing again. ... I played seven more seasons."
Wendell worried that Marc "had lost his fire," having sat out so long and having just 41 carries, 270 yards and two touchdowns to show for his past three seasons of college ball.
"Marc thought he couldn't get rid of the injury label and he wanted to leave (USC) for a fresh start," said Wendell. "Then there were miracles with his recovery and some other news."
Exit Pete Carroll after the 2009 season. Enter Coach Lane Kiffin. Shed the label.
Tyler pushed himself through rehab and began running in January, just a month after surgery. He was still hurting, unable to cut and pivot and push off explosively during spring camp. He called his father after learning that he was fifth on the depth chart going into fall and, again, wanted to leave.
Wendell urged his son to stay at USC, give the new coaching staff another chance but, most importantly, get his sociology degree, which Marc is scheduled to earn in May. Marc and his parents met with Kiffin and new athletic director Pat Haden, Wendell's former Rams teammate, about his future.
"They told me all the jobs were open, that they didn't care about what happened last year," said Marc Tyle, encouraged. "They told me they would play the best people."
Healthy to start fall camp, Tyler could finally show the potential, "the football he had in him," his father said. Kiffin and new offensive coordinator/running backs coach Kennedy Pola were impressed by Tyler's consistency, his blend of speed and power and effort and his durability.
Senior Allen Bradford, who had entered fall camp atop the depth chart, bruised his knee and went to the sideline while Tyler sprinted into the starting job. Tyler started his first career game at Hawaii, breaking out with 154 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. He pried out a team-high 67 yards on 18 carries on Saturday night against the front-loaded Cavaliers.
"This was a special game for me, starting and playing at home in front of my family and friends," said Tyler. "I just wish I could have played better."
But let's remember: Marc Tyler is just getting started.

Creator: Pannonia Film Studio
Pannonia Film Studio (originally spelled as Pannónia Filmstúdió) is a Hungarian animation film company. Being the only animation company in Hungary until the 1990s, it is notable for producing the majority of Hungarian animated shorts, television series and full-length films, many classic examples of Eastern European Animation.The studio began its work as a division of the Hungarian Film Production Company in the 1950s, becoming independent in 1957. The peak of the studio's work was in the '70s and '80s, when it released the films for which it is most remembered. In the 1990s, when numerous western animated shows were imported to Hungary, the company couldn't keep up with the competition. Since then, they haven't produced any big hit, and struggle with financial problems.
Animated films produced by Pannonia Film Studio:
- Hugo The Hippo (1973)
- Lúdas Matyi (1977)
- Son of the White Horse (1980)
- Vuk the Little Fox (1981)
- Misi mókus kalandjai (1982)
- Time Masters (1982)
- Hófehér (1984)
- Treasure of Swamp Castle (1985)
- Cat City (1986)
- Az erdő kapitánya (1988)
- Willy the Sparrow (1988)
- Felix the Cat: The Movie (1989)
- Dragon and Slipper (Sárkány és Papucs) (1990)
- The Princess and the Goblin (1992)
- The Seventh Brother (1995)
- Cat City 2 (2007)
- The Tragedy of Man (2011)
Animated series
- A Mézga család különös kalandjai (1968-69, 1974, 1978)
- Kérem a következőt! (1974)
- Magyar Népmesék (1977 - 2007)
- The Rabbit with the Checkered Ears (A kockásfülű nyúl), 1978)
- A nagy ho-ho-ho-horgász (1982 - 1984)
- Pumuckl (1982 - 1989)
- Leó és Fred (1984)
Associated Tropes:
- Canon Discontinuity: Unlike the rest of the films (most of which are beloved classics in Hungary), Felix the Cat: The Movie is based on a franchise almost unknown in Hungary, and was never released in its country of origin. It is almost never mentioned by its creators.
- Deranged Animation: Anything done by Marcell Jankovics, one of the studio's most prominent directors.
- Development Hell: Their films suffered from this since the 1990s. Their latest release, The Tragedy of Man, is an especially egregious example, which took 28 years to finish.
- Frothy Mugs of Water: Averted. Almost every film by them includes one or two characters getting drunk.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: To a varying extent.
- International Coproduction: Many of their works. Pumuckl with Germany, The Princess and the Goblin with Wales, Time Masters with France, etc.
- Mind Screw: Hófehér. It makes much more sense if you know about communism and the Hungarian regime, but without it, it's hard to figure out the symbolism.
- No Export for You: Fortunately averted with most of their films, which are available with English dub.

On July 21, 2010, in response to the financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was signed into law. In passing Dodd-Frank, legislators hoped to curb the risk-taking behaviors that were blamed, in part, on certain executive pay practices. Included in the law is Section 953(b), which directs the Securities and Exchange Commission to promulgate rules requiring that public companies disclose the median annual total compensation of all employees other than the chief executive officer, the annual total compensation of the CEO and the ratio of these two amounts (the proposed pay ratio rules).
While Section 953(b) appears simple on its face, for most public companies, especially those with global operations, the determination of the median total compensation for all employees would be very costly and likely require an overhaul of compensation data and employee record-keeping systems. Further, as the SEC suggested in its economic analysis of Section 953(b) rulemaking, the benefits of the disclosure are uncertain. There are no obvious benefits on the face of the statute, and the specific market failure or problematic pay practice that the legislators attempted to address with Section 953(b) was not made clear in the legislative record.

Stretching from river to river, the bustling neighborhood of Washington Heights is inspiring more than just the hit Broadway musical, "In the Heights." Some believe that the value to be found in Washington Heights recalls that found on the Upper West Side in the 80's — three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartments are not unusual. With its diverse housing stock, Washington Heights (also known as WaHi) boasts five- and six-story prewar apartment buildings, row houses, and Art-Deco co-ops. The Tudor-style Hudson View Gardens complex and Castle Village and Beaux-Arts co-ops such as the Grinnell and the Riviera are just some of the spots with apartments for sale.
