Five Random Action Figures, Part 40!
By the end of this article, I'll have reviewed 200 action figures on Dino Drac. That's a big deal, guys. It's why I'm typing this with one hand and eating a whole Carvel cake with the other.
Five Random Action Figures has been the site's most dependable series, and for as long as there remains a Dinosaur Dracula, it'll continue. This I swear to you. Amen.
To celebrate Part 40, I wanted to buy some of my holy grails. Then I remembered that my account balance reads like a pizza bill. I instead settled on five action figures that were great in a more affordable sort of way:
Blast Cape Batman
Batman Forever (1995)
I love how Kenner so brilliantly got us to buy Batman figure after Batman figure by continually tweaking his outfit. Every time we thought we were done, Batman changed his boots and we had to go back to Kay-Bee.
Some of his specialized suits made sense. I could understand why Batman would want an alternative suit that was flame retardant, and I at least partially accepted that Batman might desire a specific outfit for scaling walls.
Blast Cape Batman, on the other hand, defies defense. The figure's main attribute is a button-operated firing cape (yes, a firing cape), which I guess was Batman's version of the "throwing S" from Superman II.
He also comes with a pair of intense assault blades. Between those and his eerie costume, this particular Batman feels like a blend of Venom and Freddy Krueger. Read More…
Five Retro TV Commercials, Part 15!
Welcome to a special edition of Five Retro TV Commercials. Special to me, at least.
Every commercial in this batch aired during The Death of the Incredible Hulk, an NBC television movie that premiered on February 18th, 1990.
The Death of the Incredible Hulk got the plush Sunday Night at the Movies treatment, where so many big screen hits had their network television premieres. (Just watch the video. If you're anywhere near my age, those opening graphics and that triumphant theme ruled your childhood.)
I can totally see myself on that cold Sunday evening, pretending to do homework while the Hulk snarled and leapt. I'd be in my bedroom with the volume kept low, flanked by my Trapper Keeper and a bag of Tato Skins. (Guess which one got more attention.)
Below are five commercials that aired during the movie, and my God do they ever take me back: Read More…
Making new action figures out of broken ones.
A few weeks ago, I bought this:
It's a bag of assorted action figure accessories, plus a few broken figures.
I found it at a toy & collectible shop that had a little bit of everything, from vintage Masters of the Universe figures to cartoon-themed lunch boxes. In stores like that, I can generally only afford the Ziploc bags full of literal garbage. Read More…
1990s Ads from Fangoria Magazine!
Whenever I find an old issue of Fangoria, I jump straight to the ads. I can read the Tom Savini interview later. First I need to see if anyone made a mask based on the demon doctor from Jacob's Ladder. My priorities make sense to me.
That isn't to say that the content of the magazine wasn't great. Of course it was! At Fangoria's peak, every issue was a visual feast, and every article nurtured excitement without devolving into puff.
Starlog (Fangoria's sister mag) was more my speed, but there was plenty of spillover between of two, anyway. Younger Matt was unlikely to buy a copy of Fangoria with Pinhead on the cover, but I was sure as hell down with an issue featuring the Phantom Gremlin.
With both magazines, I always started with the ads. Nothing sparked my interest in something quicker than the chance to buy an overpriced trinket based on it. (Honestly, my introduction to most fandoms has been, "Well, I bought this thing, so now I guess I better learn a bit about this thing.")
Below: Six scary advertisements pulled from various issues of Fangoria. All are from the '90s. Read More…
Five Retro TV Commercials, Part 14!
I wasn't planning to go back to this well so soon, but I found a *really great* Gremlins 2 commercial, and that shit just can't wait.
Every ad featured in this edition of Five Retro TV Commercials premiered in 1990. Most of 'em aired during the same blocks of weekday afternoon sitcom reruns. Enjoy!
Sunkist's Gremlins 2 Promotion! (1990)
What begins only as a cheerful Sunkist commercial becomes the stuff of legend in its final moments, as no less than GIZMO HIMSELF makes an appearance.
Seems there was some Gremlins 2 sweepstakes connected to Sunkist, and I can't believe I never knew that until this week. This ad must've had an extremely short flight, because I can't even find a reference to it online, let alone another copy of the video.
Watching Gizmo go wide-eyed over a can of Diet Sunkist made my day in a way few things could. Read More…

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes the work being done to eradicate diving from the English game could hurt Premier League teams in Europe.
Ramires became the second Chelsea player in as many games to be cautioned for simulation when he was handed a yellow card by referee Andre Marriner during a 2-0 FA Cup win over Derby County on Sunday.
Fellow Brazilian Oscar received the same punishment from Martin Atkinson against Southampton in the Premier League on New Year's Day, and while Mourinho backs calls to stop diving in the English game he believes there could be repercussions in European competition.
The 50-year-old insists his players are not divers, but refused to criticise the referees for their decisions.
"I maintain it (Chelsea players do not dive), they (the incidents involving Ramires and Oscar) are isolated episodes," Mourinho said after Chelsea's win at Pride Park.
"This time I didn't watch on TV but (referee Andre) Marriner was so close, so if he made that decision it is because he is right.
"The last time (on) Oscar just was completely correct; this time I didn't speak yet with Ramires but if the referee was there then perfect.
"The reason (the two players were booked) was the referees were very good. In other clubs there are divers and they are not booked; we had two of the best referees in the country and in Europe.
"I don't know (if others encourage diving) - we do the opposite, but I am worried about the European competitions.
"I know English teams will be punished in European competitions because we are all fighting against it, (but) in the Champions League and Europa League we will get referees from other countries, players without the education that we are trying to do, and in the Champions League and Europa League something against English teams will happen for sure.
"The referees are attacking it (diving); the managers supporting the referees; we are doing well; let's see if the others (countries) do the same as us."

This is my second time going to Vevey on a work trip and not that I wasn't happy about the other hotel where I stayed, but I decided to just change it up this time and try a different hotel for the fun of it and stay somewhere in the centre of Vevey (although that is a bit meaningless in a small town like Vevey).
I booked the hotel for myself and three other colleagues on the recommendation of the customer we were visiting. Three of us stayed for two nights. The hotel is right beside the train station, so it's very convenient to get here. Service at reception was courteous and check-in was quick. The room was fine and quiet (even with constant music piping out in the hallways). The look is probably getting dated, but everything was clean and everything was in good shape.
I had gotten a ride to Vevey from eastern Switzerland with a colleague and there is parking available (although I am unsure how much extra is costs). But you get to ride a car elevator to the underground parking which we got a kick out of (maybe our lives are a bit boring right now!).
Breakfast was a good spread with mostly cold foods, but lots of choice of breads and croissants, yogurts, fruit, bircher muesli and cheeses. Boiled eggs were available as well. It was included in the rooms I had booked.
There is free Wifi, but it is on the slow side. It's manageable just to catch up on e-mails and the such.
I tried out the gym one evening. It is small, but it wasn't busy so it was fine.There is a hot tub outside the gym on the deck which would have been nice to try out if I had a bathing suit.
On check out, I always get a bit of sticker shock (in a bad way) in Switzerland when I get the bill for hotels. I had forgotten how much it was per night here (248 fr) when I booked so even with the 10% discount I got for an early booking, I thought they had made a mistake. But no, they were correct. I suppose that I don't know if it was worth the price, but for Swiss hotel prices, this is pretty much on par, so it is normal value here.
Since Vevey is a small town, there is not much choice as to where to stay, but I can recommend this hotel and the location give this place a plus too.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome The family-owned Astra Hotel in the picturesque town of Vevey, Lake Geneva Region, Switzerland, stands for tradition, style and warm hospitality. Accommodation 100 modern guestrooms and suites with the 4*sup comfort. All rooms have air-condition, and some are non smoking. Dining and entertainment Historic Brasserie La Coupole (1912), Le Pavillon non smoking restaurant, Elegant Restaurant Quatre Saisons, Caveau le Guillon Swiss cheese specialities, Orient Express Bar. Relaxing and well-being At the beginning of 2009 an oasis of relaxation came into being above the roofs of Vevey. The new City Panoramic Spa offers you generous space for health, lifestyle and recuperation. Here you can lean back, regenerate and fill up with energy, while at the same time enjoying a fascinating view over the "Riviera of Western Switzerland" and over the Lavaux region. Relax body and spirit after a long day. The renovated and expanded wet area persuades with warm colors, with a quiet zone in the winter garden and with a remarkable view. Besides the Finnish sauna, the "Caldarium" and the "Salionarium" you will be enjoying quiet and relaxation in the new winter garden. The high point of the City Panoramic Spa is the new outside area on the roof terrace with its whirlpool bath and sundeck. Meeting and conference facilities Conference & Event center as well as large dining facilities for 10 to 250 persons. Public Wireless LAN in the hotel. ... more less

'I am never going back to Australia again': Jeremy Clarkson's rant after being pictured on working trip with Phillipa Sage
Love rat Jeremy Clarkson has vowed never to go back to Australia after he was spotted with his former mistress Phillipa Sage.
The Top Gear host allegedly flew into a rage when he was approached by photographers following a day of sunbathing on a yacht with the bikini-clad former beautician.
The columnist is alleged to have screamed at staff, insulting the Australian photographers, saying: 'You can take them out of England, but you just can't take the convict out of them.'

Ready for confrontation: Jeremy is on a working break but this doesn't extend to dressing up for dinner
Married Clarkson, who admitted to
cheating on wife Frances with the glamorous 43-year-old in 2011, flew
off the handle at staff and photographers at the Otto restaurant after
he was pictured on the Woolloomoolloo wharf.
According to news.au Clarkson
was 'seething' after he spotted the photographers on arriving at the
restaurant with his party of 10, which included Phillipa.
The party had arrived at a wharf near the restaurant - which is popular with Australia's celebrity set - after travelling across Sydney harbour in a water taxi.

Clarkson turned to one of his party and asked: 'How did they know?' 'Someone at the restaurant's told them,' he added with a raised voice.
Then making reference to Australia's well-known convict past he said: 'You can take them out of England, but you just can't take the convict out of them.'
Clarkson then approached Fawcett, put his nose close to the photographer's and said: 'I write for The Sun. We work for the same company. Why are you doing this?' Fawcett replied: 'News Limited sacked me years ago.'

Sydney's Daily Telegraph, reports a blow-by-blow account of the angry exchange which was also caught on video.
Clarkson suggested the dinner party move on to another location but they decided to remain after an Otto staff member assured them that the restaurant hadn't leaked the fact that the Top Gear party was coming to dinner.
'Then how do they know?' Clarkson demanded. 'Somebody has told them.'
In what was seen as an attempt to make peace with celebrity photographer Jamie Fawcett, he said that 'he is all right' – but then, singling out another snapper, he remarked: 'That bald-headed bloke, I was getting ready to throw him in the river.'
Any chance you could... Clarkson tries to reason with the paparazzi
Clarkson had arrived in Sydney alone
earlier this week, after which he was joined by co-presenter May. They
are in Australia to film segments for a Top Gear motoring festival at Sydney's Eastern Creek
The party spent yesterday afternoon on Sydney Harbour, where Miss Sage was photographed in a bikini on board the luxury charter vessel Flying Fish.
The 50-year-old whose long-suffering wife Frances stuck with him after his illicit affair was exposed, could be seen on the deck sunbathing and chatting with friends.

The trio will be working for BBC Worldwide, who took full control of
the Bedder 6 Top Gear venture, which owns the commercial rights
to the show, last September.
Clarkson was the highest-paid BBC star in 2012 on the back of his 30 per cent stake in Bedder 6, earning more than £3m.
No expense is being spared on the production of the top rated BBC show, Clarkson is reportedly being flown to and from the western Sydney filming location by a chartered helicopter to avoid delays in Sydney's gridlocked traffic.
I am never going to Australia again! Clarkson reportedly hit out after being spotted with his former mistress
Phillipa and Clarkson's year-long affair was exposed in April 2011 with the star admitting he had taken his mistress on a series of expensive hotel breaks while his wife continued to manage his career.
Clarkson was last spotted with Phillipa in November last year in Rome, sparking rumours his marriage had ended.
Sage, who worked as a beautician and masseuse before joining Top Gear's spin off show, has previously insisted she is 'just good friends' with Clarkson.
Clarkson's spokesman has not responded to MailOnline's request for comment.
Is it over? Jeremy has not said he has split from wife Frances, who is also his manager (pictured together in July last year)
