I found all four boxes of the Toy Story 5 cereal at the local Walmart's last Saturday morning. There are four different boxes featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and Jessie with Smarty Pants. The artwork is cool but I'm a little disappointed that the fronts and back feature the same artwork. I would have liked the backs to have games, trivia or information about the new characters.
Here are the sides of the boxes:
The cereal itself is vanilla flavored loops and is not bad.
Looking for something family friendly to wear this St. Patrick's Day? Then check out this cool Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse as Leprechauns T-shirt at Amazon. The fabric color is available in eighteen different colors including Kelly Green as shown here. Sizes are available in men, men's big and tall, women, women plus and youth.

I don't know how I missed Marvel Zombies: Red Band #1 since Marvel released it on September 17, 2025. The normal covers feature the Fantastic Four as zombies coming for you. The first alternate retro cover features the Fantastic Four zombies attacking Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, and Daredevil plus a small Zombie Thor in the lower right-hand corner. The second alternate cover features the Fantastic Four zombies battling Iron Man. The third alternate cover features Zombie Thanos and is basically an ad for the Marvel Zombies tv series on Disney+, which I have watched. The fourth alternate cover features Zombie Bruce Banner turning into Zombie Hulk. The fifth alternate cover features Zombie Reed Richards attacking Spider-Man.
Here's the official summary:
"THE DEAD RISE AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME! It was the most important space flight in the history of the Marvel Universe — four intrepid heroes took off into the unknown and returned changed, gifted with great abilities… and hungering for human flesh! Travel back to the birth of a Marvel Universe parallel to our own but chock-full of horror since its very inception! Which heroes will rise to become the champions we know and love? Which will be torn limb from limb? And which will devour the scraps? Find out in this blood-soaked series!"
Today is Science Fiction Saturday so what could be better than Fantastic Four x Gargoyles #1 from Marvel and Disney. The one-shot was released earlier this week and mixes science fiction with horror. The cover features Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Ben Grimm aka the Thing and Susan Storm aka the Invisible woman along with Goliath, Hudson, Bronx and Brooklyn. Several other characters from both companies also appear in the story.
Here is the official summary:
"MARVEL’S FIRST FAMILY UNITES WITH THE MANHATTAN CLAN IN THIS EXCITING CROSSOVER! GARGOYLES creator and acclaimed Marvel writer Greg Weisman brings the Gargoyles to the Baxter Building alongside star artist Enid Balám! Danger strikes when the super villain Diablo learns stone gargoyles may hold the secret to eternal life… but the Gargoyles aren’t about to let him leech the blood of his own! Fortunately, they’ve got the help of expert Diablo-bashers — the Fantastic Four! Plus: Tony Stark and David Xanatos compare facial hair, Marvel’s own Gargoyle, Isaac Christians, bonds with his new kin, and more! You won’t want to miss this collision of beloved universes!"
There are also four variant covers. My favorite is the cover featuring Demona and the Invisible Woman:
Disney's Gargoyles: Demona #1 was released earlier this week. Here's the summery: "After kicking off with a special prologue story in Dynamite Entertainment’s Free Comic Book Day issue #0, the long-awaited tale of Goliath’s former love and sworn enemy of the Manhattan Clan gets underway in earnest with a return to the Dark Ages and the aftermath of the destruction of Castle Wyvern! The year is 1093, and the now-immortal Demona has become a lonely and hunted creature. Bereft of both clan and home after her betrayal of Scotland’s king, she wanders south to Northumberland in search of a safe haven – only to find that her old nemesis, Canmore, is raiding the city. Canmore’s destruction is visited upon human and Gargoyle alike, and when she discovers the depths of his cruelty and the fate of her kind at his hands, Demona’s fury sets in motion a cycle of vengeance that will last for centuries – and may yet consume the entire world!"
I knew it was coming since Disney Movie Insiders closed down a few months ago. Now Marvel Insider is closing down for I received the following email earlier today:
Since launching Marvel Insider in 2016, millions of fans have made Marvel theirs by earning and redeeming points for a variety of unique rewards, from comics to games and more. We are deeply grateful for your membership since 2023. Now, we must bring this chapter to a close.
The Marvel Insider program will sunset on March 3, 2025. After that date, you will no longer be able to earn points. You still will be able to redeem rewards through May 27, 2025.
We encourage you to redeem your points for rewards, including digital comics, digital wallpapers, sweepstakes and more.
Our members’ passion and fandom for Marvel means the world to us. Thank you for your amazing loyalty over the years, and we hope you will continue to be a True Believer.

Note: I have 42,550 redeemable points but there is nothing in the rewards section to spend them on because nothing is showing up but advertisements.
Marvel fans are getting a nice Christmas present this year from Disney. What If...? season 2 starts on Disney+ beginning on Friday, December 22, 2023. A new episode will air daily for nine days. Captain Carter and Strange Supreme will return. Unfortunately, there is no episode with Marvel Zombies. Here is the schedule:
Disney Movie Insiders had two new Funko Pops promoting The Marvels movie a few weeks ago. One was Captain Marvel for 800 points and the other was Photon for 500 points. I had enough points to get either one but not both. Since the Photon Funko Pop was for a limited time, I decided to get that one. I'm so glad that I did too because she's awesome and the photos below does not do her justice. There are six figures in this set that includes Captain Marvel, Photon, Ms. Marvel, Dar-Benn, Nick Fury and Prince Yan.
You can watch the What If... Season Two trailer here. The nine episodes will start on December 22, 2023 on Disney+ and run for nine days straight.
Last Tuesday found me getting another Disney 100 Happy Meal from the local McDonald's. I got the usual cheeseburger, fries and Coke. I also got Stitch and Ms. Marvel mini figurines. The Stitch figurine will probably go to my sister since she loves the little alien. My favorite of the two, of course, is Ms. Marvel. The mini figurine stands at 2 1/4" tall including the clear base. She has both arms raised and her left is all purple to indicate that she is using her powers.
Here is the McDonald's Groot mini figurine that I got in the Disney 100 Happy Meal. He's 2 1/4" tall and was a little hard to photograph since he has a clear base.
I remember watching the Gargoyles cartoon series back in the 1990s on the Disney Channel. Dynamite Entertainment released Gargoyles Halloween Special #1 this week (they had a nine issue series in 2022 that I somehow missed). This issue follows Nashville trick and treating in Manhattan of 1997. Of course, his adventure gets him into trouble. This is a fun treat for fans of the old cartoon and highly recommended.
I have been saving up my points at Disney Movie Insiders in hopes of getting something special for my fifty-eighth birthday, which was the day before Valentine's Day. I missed out on the unique Valentine pop exclusive since it sold out fast. A week later, I had two pocket pop keychains to choose from: Ant-Man Pocket Pop Keychain for 400 points or Doctor Strange Pocket Pop Keychain for 800 points. I had enough points for the latter but not for both. The Doctor Strange Pocket Pop Keychain arrived in today's mail. It does not stand up on its own due to the huge head and small body so I'm glad that I grabbed a shot of it from the website. I still need to watch the Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness movie. This makes my fifth Marvel-related Pocket Pop Keychain.
.Marvel's Werewolf By Night is now streaming on Disney+. Unfortunately, I won't be watching it for I don't subscribe to Disney+. Here's the official poster:
Yes, you guess it it for today is another Thorsday (this is the last one for a while, I promise). Today's post spotlights the Thor Pocket Pop Keychain that I received from Disney Movie Rewards. I traded four hundred points for him and he is part of the Thor: Love and Thunder movie set. He has a bobble-head and is holding a battle axe. The box is three inches tall and two inches wide.
I was lucky enough to quickly build up enough reward points for this Sersi Funko Pop that was on clearance at Disney Movie Insiders. She is #728 and is based on Marvel's Eternals movie. I received it last week but not in time for the Women Wednesday post. Her body is really tiny while her head is really huge. This causes problems trying to stand her up outside of the box. It also didn't help that the huge head is bent backwards a little bit thanks to the spring. She is still a pretty cool figure and will go next to my Thena Funko Pop that I also got from Disney Movie Insiders. She is played by Gemma Chan in the movie.
I received this Thena Funko Pop on Monday, which was Valentine's Day. I was going to post about it yesterday for this week's Women Wednesday post but I had a dentist appointment and just plain didn't feel like writing. I used my points at Disney Movie Insiders (formerly known as Disney Movie Rewards) to get her since she was on clearance. This is my first regular size Funko Pop even though I have gotten the Hulk Pocket Pop Keychain, Iron Man Pocket Pop Keychain and Captain America Pocket Pop Keychain in 2015. I always wanted Thena since Angelina Jolie plays her in The Eternals movie and I'm a big fan of hers.
The final Marvel Super Hero Adventures sticker that I got in the now gone vending machine is what I call the floating Avengers. This is also the twelfth and final sticker in the set based on the Disney cartoon series. Characters include Thor, Hulk, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man. I actually have two of these stickers and you can complete the top and bottom floating pictures of Thor and Hulk. It's kind of funny that the top of Hulk's head is on the bottom of the sticker while the rest of him is on top.
The eleventh sticker in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures set is what I call Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is shown with Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man on one side and Gwen Stacy aka Spider[Gwen on the other side. The background graphics of the city buildings and black spider is pretty cool too. The other thing cooler would have been to seen Spider-Man's original amazing friends, which were Firestar and Iceman.
There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.
