Fall Catchup

Today is the first full day of fall so I thought I better do some catching up.

First off, I will be partaking in this year's Countdown To Halloween. I'm not sure if I will be making daily posts this time around but I will try. Also, the posts may be of a little different this year.

The local Wally World has stocked a few boxes of DC Pops figurines from Funko and I have picked up eight of them. So far, I have two Deadshots, a Lex Luthor, a Martian Manhunter, a Batman, a Green Lantern, a White Lantern and a Power Girl. I like them and I will probably be picking up some more when I can. I really want the Wonder Woman one.

Check out DoomsDave's From Hell Collectibles that not only features cool geeky stuff like Power Rangers Legacy Saba Sword and Evil Dead II Prop Necronomicon but also his memories of a record shop and the time he met Bruce Campbell.

Justice League Pop-Tarts

I've went through three boxes of Kellogg's Exclusive Justice League Edition Printed Fun Pop-Tarts in the last month. I have to say that I was underwhelmed with the printed results. Most like Batman and Batgirl were so dark that you could barely make them out. All the Catwoman ones had lines on them. One would think that with today's technology that Kellogg would have splurged a little to make the print quality better on these Wild Strawberry pastries. I wished I had some pictures but I've been without a digital camera for over a month now, which is the reason that I haven't been posting a lot lately.

Cool Marvel MasterCard

The CW Picks Up Transylvania

Looks like another monster tv series is a go according to Monster series Transylvania officially picked up by The CW. It will feature an American woman in the 1880s teaming up with a Scotland Yard detective to find her father in Transylvania. Expect new origins of Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman and other creatures.

To be honest, I watched the first season on The Vampire Dairies but wasn't all that impressed enough to tune in to the second season. I never watched an episode of The Originals but I do want to see the first episode of Transylvania.
