The My Little Pony-Con that Might Have Been
This picture is amazing, and clearly illustrates the world’s need for love, tolerance and ponies. Please make this happen, Hasbro–preferably in the United Kingdom.
This year’s Bronycon will be held in Secaucus, New Jersey from June 30 to July 1. So it starts on Saturday! Show creator Lauren Faust is going to be in attendance, along with several voice actors. Word has it that they’re also going to film a documentary about Brony culture at the convention!
The 6 Most Tubular Non-Turtle TMNT Action Figures
The greatest thing about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure line from the early 1990s was that the toymakers just went nuts designing a whole slew of brand new characters. And they weren’t just turtles. They were lions and dragons and ducks and gorillas, oh my! These mutants almost never appeared in the actual cartoon, and rarely in the comics. They existed only to enrich the lives of the toy-buying public who didn’t just want to buy variations of the main four Ninja Turtles – though there were a lot of those as well.
These were wholly original characters sprung forth from very creative minds – and you can bet I owned a whole bunch!
This takes me back…
These unique TMNT characters fit right into my love of fan fiction. Characters that exist on the fringes of the world, but still part of the world, are exactly what I like to write when it comes to fan fiction. That’s why I love these additional TMNT characters so much. Toymakers did the same thing with G.I.Joes and Transformers, adding new characters just for the fun of it. I wish more toylines did this. They have all these superhero movie tie-in action figures, why not make a few more characters who exist in the comics but didn’t make it into the movies? Like a Dark Knight Rises version of Robin or the Riddler. Or Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from The Avengers. I think it would be awesome.
What else is awesome? These 6 unique TMNT action figure characters! And anyone interested in checking out all of the TMNT toys, visit this glorious website, which I used to make this list.
Black Dynamite Trailer Brings the Funk and the Hos!
Ever seen the movie Black Dynamite? I saw it last year, it’s quite good. A hilarious parody of blacksploitation. Well now you can get a taste of that awesomeness with the trailer for Cartoon Network’s upcoming Black Dynamite cartoon! Can ya dig it!? The show seems to have a Boondocks influence to it, especially in the animation.
It’s Not Easy Being a Brony
I’m a brony. And I’m not ashamed to admit it either. I love me some My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. That show is awesome! But seeing as how I’m a 28-year-old man who lives alone, some might say this is not a good thing. Well to hell with them! The show kicks ass.
And I’m definitely not the only brony (or pegasister) in the world! Sing loud, my pony-loving friends! Sing strong!
The song was put together by a punch of people at a recent convention, I think. Check out the Youtube credits.
Also, for anyone following along from my earlier List of Six this morning, my car is fine! It was fixed and is back on the road!
