#(i got spoiled by the funko pops shit)

[buckbuckleybegins]

I finally decided to catch up on AAA and holy shit episode 7 is truly a masterpiece. Whoever the director was needs a raise.

[drakedoo]

My thoughts on the fnaf movie. ⚠️spoilers ahead, if you haven’t watched the movie yet, I urge you to watch it and then come back and read this⚠️

Hey, so I just got finished watching the five nights at Freddy’s movie and let’s just say it was pretty good. I don’t normally put out my thoughts on movies that I watch or reviews on them but I thought this would be a little fun and like I said if you haven’t seen it yet, I kindly ask you to go watch it and then come back here and read what I have to say so that I don’t spoil the fun for you. If you read this without watching the movie, please do not get mad at me for spoiling it because I did warn you and asked you to watch it first . Without further ado, here’s my thought on it.

Things I liked about it:

At first, I had my doubts with Matthew Lillard, playing William Afton, but he did an amazing job, especially at the end. I really enjoyed his take on our beloved villain of the story.

I found it really cool that one of MatPat’s lines is “but that’s just a theory.” because it references his oh so popular phrase that he always says on his channel.

The animatronics designs. I love how they look almost like they just stepped right out of the video game and look absolutely amazing and say what you will about them having red eyes, but I really didn’t mind it.

Foxy humming. There are parts were foxy hums while he hunts, and it brings back a detail from the game

The miniature doll of balloon boy popping up every so often in cabinets and scaring the shit out of Mike. He did what we were all thinking, and turned that fucker around.

The game poster in the background of the office

Some of the 2016 Halloween store, costume masks hanging on the prize counter wall, and a few Funko plushies scattered here and there

Mike’s little sister having the same legal name as me because it just felt refreshing and a little bit joyful, hearing, my name, said, over and over in one of my favorite things in the world

The animatronics, helping Abby build a fort in the pizzeria. I just found it really adorable and cute.

The living tombstone song playing during the credits. It brought a lot of nostalgia back to me.

Spring lock failure scene

OK now that I got through the things that I liked and enjoyed in the movie here’s the things that I wish could’ve been different and didn’t necessarily like or find necessary

I wish they there was more scenes at the pizzeria and a little more time with the animatronics because they were so cool, and I wish the movie was a little longer because it kind of just felt rushed at some parts.

I wish the spring lock screen was a little more than what we got and had a little little more dramatics I guess, like, for example, more violent thrashing, and more blood but I mean it is also a PG-13 movie so they can’t really have a lot of blood and gore

 I wish they actually played Toreador March at some point like they did in the trailer

Scott Cawthon should’ve been the one on that training tape

 I feel like Vanessa could’ve been written better . No hate to the actress though, because she was just doing her job and going off of the script.

I know we all wish we could’ve seen Markiplier since he’s the reason the game really took flight mainly but since he had scheduling conflicts with the iron lung movie, he’s working on unfortunately he couldn’t do it but it would’ve been really cool to see him in it.

So I had a lot more things I enjoyed and liked rather than not. I’m just happy we finally got a five nights at Freddy’s movie after many many years, and many many trials and errors, and rewrites. Mind you, this isn’t going to be exactly like the games because the movie is an entire new story and lore, with some five nights at Freddy’s game lore, mixed in(there’s so many different five nights at Freddy’s universe lores) if I had to rate it, I’d probably give it an eight or nine out of 10 because I actually thoroughly enjoyed it and it made my inner child really happy because in a weird way, Five Nights at Freddy’s saved my life because the lore and the games and the fandom, was my escape from my reality in school(I was what you could call a Carrie White in junior high and high school) and it really helped me find my passions, which was cosplay because some of my first cosplays were five nights at Freddy’s. So finally getting to see the movie we were promised is amazing and made 12 to 13 year-old me really happy.

Anyways, I’m gonna go to bed now because it’s almost 5 in the morning so peace out✌️

Tagged by @gorotakemura thanks u bb!! 🤲

I think lots of peeps already done it but I tag -  @mrssmasher - @evilpol - @northern-wolf6 - @cybervesna - @vos-videmus - @enbyheathen - @severalverysmallsandayus - @ghoulcouriersix - @visixv - @leather-nomad - @ssevth - @onlymeandlife​

Thats a lot- As always NO PRESSURE In doing it 👁👄👁 

🟨 When did you buy the game?

Ooof I can’t remember the exact date but I pre-ordered it before all the delays. I wanted to pre-order a PC collector version but it was sell out everywhere I tried- so I ended up pre-ordering a PS4 collector and bought the game digitally on GoG when it was available for purchase 🤡 then I sell the PS4 game to buy the funko pops AEHFHHG

🟨 When was the moment you knew you loved the game?

The first (and only) origin I’ve played is the Nomad one- I LOVE it, got me immersed so quick into the universe Tho the moment I trully fell for it is duing The Rescue, when Jackie drive out of the building and you see Night City at night, with the music, the rain, all the events happening, all the chit chat with Jackie gooodddddddddd this always gives me the chills 

🟨 Which character did you romance in your first playthrough?

I got spoiled on the romances some days before getting into the game hfhfhf so knowing Kerry was the only option available to men I went with him!  He’s a fun character, really liked his quests line and his arc, tho didn’t enjoyed the romance at all (not my style much) 

🟨 Whose your favorite NPC?

PFFHF... M.................M.......

Didn’t expected this at all either, man grabbed my heart, my ass, my SOUL, everything. Take it all ANDERSON TAKE IT ALL--

🟨 Did you have inspiration in mind when designing your V(s) ?

SOOO Not really, I always do self insert in RPGs, usually keep it to myself too because I play alone or with my best friend This is the first time I’m active and interact with people in a fandom, I didn’t expected this to become this HUGE for me and hfhfh I just rolled with it! Valentin is still Me in a way, but he’s also his own person/character, inspiration being.... uh ME HFHFHF

🟨 What’s your go-to vehicle?

Ahbruh COYOTE SHION MY BELOVEEEEEDDD And if I have to use a bike, Scorp’s Apollo is a BEAST! 

🟨 What’s your favorite gig/mission/job?

Probably biased but- any Nomad focused quest just grab my heart, it feels so much more humans and genuine and “real” than the quest for Fixers or with Corpos (Nomads don’t bullshit around, man)

I really loved The Parade too, it’s really breathtaking with the music, the lights, the decorations the holograms the EVERYTHING is beautiful 

I’ll Fly Away is also one of my fav and it’s- AEUHHAHUEA NUHG It’s probably because it involves Mitch too, but just? A funeral being just what it is, no spectacular shit, just... plan and simple, last wishes. I don’t know why it got me hard, but it did. 

🟨 Which NC Radio station do you switch to the most?

OUGGHH.... Pacifc Dreams, Night FM and Body Heat tho I really like a lot of Principales’s song.... also The Dirge’s.....  Songs be good...

[zndyaclmn]

Happy birthday best fran! @evanpters

Evs, I can’t believe you’re thirty-five. Holy shit. You’re so old! I hope you’re being spoiled rotten today, it’s what you deserve. Thanks for being such a good friend to me since we’ve moved to town, I don’t deserve it but I’m not here to question it. 

Right. so for gifts, I got you some Walking Dead funko pops, don’t @ me if they aren’t what you wanted. I just heard through the grapevine you’re a big fan, so here you go.

I also got you a Peeta doll to remind you of your biggest failure. Use it to fuel all your fires to get all the jobs you could ever want. But I mean, who needs Peeta when we’ve got Ralph anyway, right? Right.

And of course, what is life without coffee? This bad boy is the hottest thing on the market right now and with an almost 6 month old you probably need all the help staying awake you can get.

Love ya!

Someone let me know when there’s a good fix-it fic available cos what the hell was that.

(Gonna not be vague after this...FYI...actual spoilers ahead)

Like there were three good parts to the entire episode. The dog. The pie. And Castiel being involved in fixing heaven. That’s literally it.

I woulda taken the entirety of the shit to see Cas in heaven, preferably with Dean, and even more preferably living happily ever after. Like that’s all I wanted. Not that. Never that. There’s no coming back from that.

What was the point of 15x18. You kill the angel the moment he pops his head out of the closet for what. Nothing. To save Dean for literally a couple of extra days before he gets impaled and dies. Fucking bury your gays that’s what. And we’ve all been sitting here defending the decision cos THIS was supposed to fix that but no. Ugh.

There was a post going round about speeches, and how everyone has given a speech in the last four eps except dean and that this ep was his chance. Well we got that right. But not the fucking speech we wanted.

Then the post about the dean and cas funkos from the Becky ep this season, and how they were scenes of the future and there was one with dean and Castiel outside a bar. The hope I had when we saw Bobby outside a bar in heaven I was like, and second now we’ll have Cas. BUT NO.

I’m just a clown. A fully face painted, worn out, wig wearing clown.

The was soooo much potential for this episode. Sooooo much. And it was all wasted. All of it.

I’m done. I’m gonna wait til there’s a really good fix-it fic, be that dean doesn’t fucking die and saves Castiel from the empty like he should have, or dean still does but it’s Cas and dean happily ever after in heaven. Either, either. But I’m gonna read a fix-it, just once, to satisfy me with the ending we all deserved, then I think I’m done. For a good while anyway. The shitness of supernatural hasn’t stopped me from rewatching in the past but I always had the hope that it would get better in the end. Now I don’t have that I’m not sure. I’ll still have my favourite episodes, and destiel will always have a place in my heart but idk.

Really wished I watched 15x18 live now cos that would have been the closest I would have ever gotten to seeing canon destiel be a thing without prior warning. But instead I was spoiled by a push notification from YouTube for a video entitled ‘Castiel loves dean: 15x18 spoilers’ or something like that. The last two weeks have been wonderful tho. Thank you everyone who has posted and reblogged about destiel and who gave me hope. We have all been disappointed, we all got less that we deserved, we honestly got the bare minimum, but I wouldn’t give up the sheer joy in experiencing our love for destiel and the show for anything. I just wish the creators loved the characters as much as we do.

We need to stop making “good movies” with billion dollar budgets and end up being remakes or just shitty cash grabs or just plain boring to watch and go back to bad movies with the budget of $7, but are fun to watch and you can tell that everyone involved had a great time making them

Like, the most popular example, Endgame. Budget of $350 million. Mediocre at best. (I personally enjoyed the 2012 segment but the rest of it was a letdown) It was the finale of one of the most popular franchises in modern media. And it ended with: Killing off Iron Man in the WORST POSSIBLE WAY (AFTER he had already had a family and settled down), retiring Captain America, entirely out of character, killed off the only female Avenger in the same way that they killed off the only female Guardian in the previous movie, before her movie could even get made. The ending was so hyped that the Russos were worried that people would share the ending, which if the entire movie can be ruined by spoiling the ending, then it’s a shitty ending. They don’t care about the characters they were given. It’s just hot trash. Sure, the effects were nice and I’m in love with Big Lebowski Thor (WHICH they refused to advertise in ANY of the promos. Either because they were afraid of spoilers or because they’re fatphobic and even after the movie was released, we still don’t have SHIT for him besides three Funko Pops and I’m going to die on this hill mad about it), and we got to see some nice banter between the characters. But if you asked me, who saw it THREE TIMES, anything that happened in it, I wouldn’t be able to tell you off the top of my head. Nothing was memorable about it. Maybe Steve holding Mjolnir. And everything Thor did in the movie. But plotwise? Nothing. It’s just a fart in the wind. 

On the other hand, I recently watched the Chromeskull movies (called Laid to Rest, but the second one is called Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2) They were obviously low budget and the movie had such a limited run that I can’t even find out what the budget was. But the movie was FUN. You cared about every character. They weren’t really realistic characters, but they were fun. They were GOOD characters. They were competent. The villain (Chromeskull) wasn’t some supernatural killer like Jason. He wasn’t a behemoth like Michael. (Even though he’s 6′7″). He went down easily. He got hurt. A lot. It was nice to see a slasher villain get hurt and STILL end up being scary. Even in the sequel you find out that he’s got everyone wrapped around his fingers. He has his own private cult of people. And the practical effects were SO GOOD. Like it was brutal. But it wasn’t over the top, which is rare for a slasher. The cherry on top of it all? The movie is fucking INSANE. The basis is this guy in a skull mask is trying to hunt this girl down who woke up in a funeral home with amnesia. He spends all the movie chasing her down and killing all the people she was with. Just to get to her. AND THEN THE MOVIE ENDS WITH HER BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. The movie had its flaws, as all movies do. I can’t think of a movie that didn’t have any flaws. Like the weapons he had for killing didn’t exactly match up to the kind of damage he actually DID. Also the reveal of the girl’s true identity was kind of a letdown. I was hoping she was like his partner in crime or something and he was just trying to get her back. And that’s just the FIRST movie. The second one is EVEN MORE BATSHIT. 

just give us more movies that are fun

[killian-whump]

I feel quite ignorant for asking this, but who is mark and why is he hated BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT THE KRAKEN HAPPEND TO HIS FACE

Oh, no no… Don’t worry! You’re not ignorant at all! :)

Mark is one of Colin’s other roles, besides Hook. He played him in a 2012 movie called “Storage 24″. It’s a horror film, where a group of people get locked inside a 24-hour storage facility… with a gigantic, monstrous alien being.

Obviously, there’s going to be some spoilers from here on out, so if you plan on watching the film and don’t wanna be spoiled, scroll away now!

Mark’s kinda a dick. The movie starts with us finding out about his best friend’s distress over a recent break-up with his longtime girlfriend, with the friend driving himself (and Mark) nuts trying to figure out what went wrong in the relationship. Mark’s definitely less than supportive and just wants his friend to shut up already, which is bad enough… but then we discover Mark’s been secretly schtupping his best friend’s girlfriend for some time now, and HE’s the whole reason for the breakup in the first place.

And Mark doesn’t really prove to be much better of a person throughout the film, as he sort of abandons the “best friend” in an air shaft when the alien shows up and starts busting through the metal walls of the shaft. To be fair, it really WAS looking like the end of the friend, and I personally can’t blame him for turning tail and getting the fuck out of there, but… Well, the fact remains. Instead of trying to help his “best” friend, he just left him there. Then, to make matters worse, when he got out of the air shaft, he sealed up the exit he came through, and then told all of the others in the storage facility that the “best friend” guy was dead, making it sound like he watched him die and there was nothing he could do to save him, instead of letting them know, “Well, I sort of abandoned him, but if any of you lot are feeling braver than I, there might still be some of him left somewhere to rescue.” That, of course, bites him in the ass when the “best friend” shows up again, alive and well, and reveals Mark just… left him.

Then there’s an altercation with the justifiably-sick-of-his-shit “best friend” where said friend yells at him for sleeping with his girlfriend and Mark oh-so-kindly retorts, “Yeah, but she loved it.” Niiiiiice. Smooth, Mark. He gets punched in the face here, which seems to be a contractual obligation in every role Colin plays, bless his preciously whumpy heart.

Mark then, adding insult to injury, proceeds to abandon the girlfriend as soon as she’s in danger, just like he did with the “best friend” - right down to telling the others that she’s dead and “there was nothing he could do”. Mark. Man. You literally already did that exact same thing and it bit you in the ass. Obviously, no one believes him, and so the “best friend” races off and saves the girlfriend from the alien monster. Thanks a lot, Mark.

In a final coup de grace, Mark manages to reach the room where the controls for the main gates of the storage facility are, along with a main gate to escape out of once the controls are set properly. He immediately locks himself in this room, preventing the alien from coming in after him, yes, but also locking everyone else out along with the alien and keeping them from escaping as well. They’re all pounding on the door and begging him to let them in and… he doesn’t. He just walks away. Fucking Mark -_-

So the friends break in the door, there’s an altercation, and then the alien shows up and grabs Mark about the shoulders like he’s a long-lost lover… and proceeds to slowly and lovingly gnaw his fucking face off. The movie ends entirely, like, 5 minutes later.

At any rate, that’s who Mark is… and that’s what happened to his face :D Despite him being a complete and utter dick, I actually love him dearly, lol. It’s both hilarious and strangely endearing watching the proverbial “cool dude” character wander around in circles on the verge of tears, occasionally flailing and making terrible decisions just for good measure. And it’s just… It’s way too fun to make fun of him for being a dickhead without a face. I mean, it’s just… I can’t help myself. I made a Funko Pop of him, and even wrote a Storage 24 fanfic and he often shows up on the blog here, especially when his Funko Pop version shows up to make rude comments...

Hello! Sibling anon back! My brother is better and annoying as ever yet I wouldn’t trade him for the world! He was better on Friday and back to his normal hyper self. I made him feel better by giving him a Starlord Funko pop because Starlord is his favorite. I’m so excited for the next part of LCPO and I feel you because my period is right around the corner as well and I’m an emotional and mean b*tch on my period. (My mom doesn’t let me cuss so I put stars. I feel so innocent yet rebellious.) ❤

Hi love!

I feel you though, little brothers are a pain in the ass but you wouldn’t want to miss them. I mean my brother is a spoiled fucking brat at the moment and very much into certain hella fucking expensive brands because his friends tell him they are better than cheap shit but if i feel bad he does take care of me and support me n shit so I can’t be mad at him lmao

Ugh that’s so cute!! I love Funkos, I have a bunch myself and got one for my brother‘s birthday last year. Might get him another one this year! But fuck, you sound like an amazing sister!!

I hope I won’t disappoint, I have written that chapter so many times but still don’t feel 100% confident with it?

The thing about my period is that it fucks me up all the way. Pain, nausea, migraine, back pain, bloating, etc. All the fuxking way. And I‘m hella fucking emotional. Like I can cry over a dead insect. Ugh it sucks. I hope you‘re doing alright though.

Ugh that’s adorable! 🖤 I remember when I started cussing around the age of 12, my mum would whoop my ass and go all “sELINA-MALIZIA” on me and I knew that I was fucked. Growing up with a second name is fun. But yeah, go girl! Be rebellious! Fuck people up! I hope I don’t make you uncomfortable with my constant cussing! :(

atomic monsters

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT AND TW FOR DISCUSSION OF CONSENT ISSUES / ASSISTED SUICIDE

so I managed to avoid all social media for the past 24 hours and then my fucking google news feed spoiled me thanks to fucking TV guide which PROUDLY PROCLAIMED "on the return of becky and sam's death!!!!" in its goddamn headline so fuck that, I guess I am going into this knowing the plot sort of, thanks! thanks assholes, thanks so much

also I'm not actually happy to see Becky because the last time we saw her she drugged Sam and tried to rape him so fuck off

oh we're off to a good start with gunfire in the bunker

I did see a clip of Jensen doing the choreography for some of this and it was very impressive, he directed this one, yeah?

dean looks good with the scarf/bandana thing going

benny? :V hi benny

we bring everyone back just to kill them

I'm glad ty olsson got paid. it's good to see his face again even if it's only briefly

he has demon-killing bullets but it's not the colt, maybe I missed something?

oh poor sam :( these nightmares are not fun, please just rest

I'm so here for whatever dark timeline bullshit is happening though lmao even if it's a bit of a gimmick it's intense and I like how Jared does this justice

"after sioux falls" immediately had me like OH NO

seeing sam wake up in a panic has me glad I already had plans to write more sastiel hurt/comfort

prayer circle for sam to be free of nightmares like, once

I feel like if I were Jensen and I were directing this, I would also set up a scene where I got to eat a piece of perfectly crunchy bacon as often as it was required

"the meat man" jesus christ

sarah mclachlan isn't even a vegetarian anymore, dean

I'm 1000000% not cool with dean controlling what sam is or is not allowed to eat or even have in the bunker

sam's barely left his room :(

"look man i get it, with jack, and rowena" don't say cas' fucking name, you're not allowed to have his name in your fucking mouth anymore, dean. actually don't say jack's either, the last time you saw him you wanted to execute him so fuck you.

sam's mug is really cute

the sheriff urged citizens to "travel in packs" so I'm like where are werewolves in this episode

I don't like how he hit him, sam like. flinched.

I had to actually pause the show from sam flinching that hard, and this is not unintentionally like these are extremely talented professional actors, this is deliberate and OOF

"that's real bacon, dean" "you're damn right it is."

oh that's fucking foul. glad I put a warning for consent issues right at the top! what the fuck. what a fucking asshole.

I said to my partner that dean should go to hell and he said "again? he didn't learn enough last time" and I'm like "yeah. he should go back. check back in, I hear they have a lot of vacancies" "they check into hell like it's fucking rehab" except it just makes dean worse but then somehow the show never brings up alistair? I was glad belphegor referenced that at least

I'm glad sam stood up for the deceased

"if he doesn't get in it'll be the end of the world!" "uh no, the END OF THE WORLD is the end of the world" thank you.

oh boy it's becky.

is becky... luring sam winchester to her house???? while her husband is out with the kids?????

oh there's chuck.

hm. feel a bit bad for assuming the worst of becky but given her track history idk

I'm glad vice principal bailey called dean out on the fucking fetish comment

I do like becky here as a creator in her own right. she's made her own world

okay glad too that we acknowledge what she did to sam was fucking hideous beyond words

I am here for them sitting around and doing laundry and talking.

I see a funko pop in the background, incredibly cursed

turning a profit / turning a "prophet" ha ha

chuck's really still going hard on the leviathan plotline lmao

"three AU fic deadlines breathing down my neck" bless

I do love rob benedict "they're just like TEETH FACE!"

"You don't need me. No one does." thanks god, I agree

this does make me want to write

I like that the guy in the mascot fursuit is named Toby and I feel like there's an opportunity for dean to also put on a mascot outfit

"it's like a piece of my heart is gone" is she literally like... using her heart in a spell or something? she keeps saying this line and we thought the other girl was not genuine but maybe she was right, this girl's full of shit and is just saying that

it's been years and i still don't like understand what lacrosse is so I have looked it up at long last and

**The game was said to be played "for the Creator" or was referred to as "The Creator's Game."**

that's especially interesting in a chuck-related context

ghost orchid, very specific

there's also the "holy ghost orchid"?

this is just a little too well scripted

she has braces. hm. saved by orthodontia.

oh this lady's a wine mom, thank god.

WOW THAT IS A LOT OF BLOOD

lmao is this the same garage set they used in the season premiere but with slightly different shelving

I like the handmade crowley and cas here

writing's writing, damn fucking right that fic is writing

god is he using her computer, mannnnn leave her laptop alone

I have this cas plush right me as I'm watching this because i'm sad about him lmao and he's SO CUTE I'm gonna get the sam and dean to go with my cas and crowley

these maquettes are pretty impressive, I like the website they made too

sam and dean showed up in plainclothes/hunter clothes to confront this guy so they know he knows they know

god, thank god for sam trying to actually "save the people" instead of the focus on "hunt the things"

oh i see so becky's feedback leads to chuck deciding to up the ante and kill sam? hm.

chuck tortures his OCs

:( this situation sucks, when they said there was no resistance i was kind of worried about something like this

bury them under the peonies. I think peonies like bone meal/blood meal, don't they

mmmmmmmm asking dean about if he has kids I'm still like do not fucking speak about jack, dean, you don't deserve it, don't even think about him

he sure did reintroduce some classic rock elements, I'm pretty stoked for jensen's album honestly

I'm like... not actually cool with this? I guess if that's really what he wanted then fine I GUESS, I'm not opposed to assisted suicide in theory but especially after seeing Benny earlier in this episode is this really the only way out?

hmmmmmmm. god sure is arrogant.

I'm glad to see emily perkins get like some serious range with the character

I've been pretty bad at predicting this episode lmao I guess davy perez got me

"we would've done the same for jack" says sam "yeah we would" says dean, with absolutely no right to say that

"dean... I still think about jessica, i can't just let that go" god sam sweetheart I'm so fucking sorry

I think becky even noted that chuck "didn't even mention castiel" and indeed

:( sam.

so I guess he didn't die in this one? wtf TV Guide you gave me weird expectations for this episode

chuck sitting surrounded by his own characters' soulless funko bobbleheads sure is thematically heavy

well i guess that's it for this one

[random-cattai]

Loki really needs something to go his way...

See also: Spoiled by the Merchandise (TV!Tropes)

Okay, first sentence aside, I have this developing theory about Thor:Ragnarok. On seeing the “YES!” “He’s a friend from work!” scene on a big screen I noticed something. This is killed off instantly if the scene’s aren’t in the same sequence as the trailer but never mind that...

That is not the face of intense study, that is the face of Worry. Tie into the fact that Loki is sitting in the Taskmaster’s box I have reason to believe that he decided to bolster Thor’s reputation. A bit of “Oh he’s a very good fighter, but not quite bright. Stick him with a bludgeoning weapon and he’ll give a show.” type talking. With Thor’s sudden change of attitude, Loki glances over to the Taskmaster as the confusion sets hold in “Oh shit...”

THEN THE POP FUNKO LINE GOT LEAKED/EARLY SHOW OFF.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waMoyplrgf8)

I watched the video and they said that this is Loki. With the Hair and the Dagger it’s a definite trickster. Here’s the thing though, for all of I know, Loki would NEVER wear blue. He’s always worn Black, Green, and Gold. The only reason he’d wear blue is if he’s being forced to do it.

Which leads into my TL;DR: Loki, through some force of his own doing, is going to be forced to fight in the Taskmaster’s gladiatorial fights.

(I mean, since Asgard has fallen, he doesn’t have to keep track of that; and then the man he so openly praised as a star fighter suddenly goes soft the Taskmaster has to get a new star somewhere. Why not the fabled “Son of Odin. The man who came back from the dead...Twice.” )

WARNING! There be spoilers here! Yar!!

Yes, we’ll be getting into the meat and potatoes of this latest release from Marvel and Funko with lots of lovely pics in this post, and the last thing we want to do is spoil it for anyone who has happened to click on here without care and doesn’t want the surprise ruining for them. So, here’s your last chance if you’ve ordered this box. No turning back. No regrets, no recriminations. All good?

  Really? We all okay?

  Good. Excellent. Let’s dive in, then.

One thing we can’t level at Marvel or Funko anymore is the accusation that they’re not listening. Those of us that have been collecting these subscription boxes for a while have had the feeling that we’ve been stuck in the same routine: the same kind of items, presented in an increasingly predictable fashion. Something needed shaking up. And that’s exactly what they’ve done for this, their October 2017 box, themed around the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe release, THOR: RAGNAROK.

The first thing you notice is the size of the box, and it’s the first clue that we are dealing with a totally different type of Collector Corps box than usual. It’s slightly unsettling. Smaller in width and depth than a comic book, the first thought is: what have they actually fit into this thing?

#gallery-0-25 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-25 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-25 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-25 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Can’t knock the quality of box artwork, though: that remains consistent, with Hela taking pride of place on the top of the box and our two clashing gladiators going at it inside. It’s all very cinematic and channels you into the goodies inside. Which, for our first change from the norm, isn’t a fold-out flap with a patch and pin combo glued to the top – okay, we really are going for something different.

First item out of the box is a grey polyester ARENA HULK BEANIE HAT, printed with Hulk’s battle tattoo up and over the top of the Beanie and sewn with a silicone badge with a Funko-fied Arena Hulk, giving it the full gurn. It’s a one-size fits all, a little small for my liking but it’ll stretch out like Banner’s pants for most bonces. It’s a change from the tees, I guess, and the first clue that we’re switching things up. We fold that to one side and continue inside.

Once the beanie is out of the way, you spot that the box dimension is mostly made up of two POP!’s and the rest of the contents, squirreled down the slim gap left down the side. We’ll leave the POP!’s until last and pull out the other items.

Next up is a BRANDED FOUR MAGNET SET, featuring Thor, Loki, Hulk and Hela, smirking mischievously. I’m not overly familiar with the rest of the ever-growing Funko family but I don’t recognise the styling of the characters – are they Rock Candy? Are they Vynl.’s? Not entirely sure, but they’re not in the recognisable Funko POP! design so there’s that. Something to stick on the fridge, I guess. Moving on.

Oh, shit. A FIDGET SPINNER.

I’ve been doing my best to keep these things out of my house – in much the same way as I avoided Tamagotchis – as the latest fad of the day. I’m certain they serve a purpose for some people and they’re all fun, I guess, I I’m not interested. Oh, well. I suppose one won’t kill me – and with Funko-fied Thor, Hulk and Valkyrie on one side and Loki, Hela and Gamesmaster on the other, at least it’s on brand. Pretty weighty, too.

Speaking of which, I’ve said this on numerous occasions: the METAL ENAMEL PIN that comes with Collector Corps boxes in the past are usually particularly mighty – here, we have a Hela pin which has been made from a different metal this time and doesn’t have the same heft to it as usual. Might actually be able to wear this one on a t-shirt without it pulling the fabric out of shape. Okay, alright: another small improvement.

Speaking of change, our next item out of the box is… er, a PACK OF PLAYING CARDS. Erm, okay. This is another first for the Collector Corps boxes and, I guess, might come in handy to while away that time in line for the THOR: RAGNAROK midnight screening. Featuring some MCU Concept Artist Andy Park-styled artwork on all the backings, no real tie to any Funko branding, they’re, erm, playing cards. No more, no less and not a great deal more I can say, to be honest.

Have we got to the POP!’s yet? Yes. Yes, we have. It’s what we came for and and there’s two of them to take in. And they’re gorgeous!

Let’s start with POP! MARVEL, THOR RAGNAROK – #247 THOR, in full blown Arena Battle armour, as we’ve seen so far in the trailers. It’s a stunning sculpt, full of detail and brilliantly rendered. Someone has seriously taken their time on putting this together at Funko HQ and the effort has really paid off.

#gallery-0-28 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-28 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-28 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-28 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

I suspect that someone has also has a word with the Manufacturing Team in Vietnam, too, because this isn’t some slipshod paint job, either. Sharp on the edges, intricate in some rather hard-to-reach spots, I’d almost think that a new machine has been installed on the factory floor. Bravo, RoboPaint 4000. Please don’t kill us all when the machine uprising takes place.

And last but not least, you’ve got POP! MARVEL, THOR RAGNAROK – #248 LOKI, also dressed in regalia we’ve seen in the trailers, notably the scene where he’s all shiv-ved up and ready to stick ’em where the sun don’t shine. ]

This is another wonderfully designed sculpt and, again, really well painted, especially on his tunic and arm-and-shoulder pads. His eyebrows are sharp and full of expression – appropriate for our man, Tom Hiddleston – and really gives the figure reall attitude. Marvellous.
